Camping Jokes – Stories
One liners are a great way to insert a quick bit of wit into a conversation, but they lack some of the buildup and dramatization that are necessary to create truly side-splitting laughter. If you’re looking for a few jokes that will really get those guffaws rolling, you’ll probably appreciate some of these:
1. Where am I Supposed to Pee, Dad?
A father took his son camping for the first time. They walked around, pitched their tent, and got a campfire going in preparation for the chilly night to come. After enough time passed, the boy realized that his father had failed to mention a very important piece of information.
“Dad,” he started, shifting from foot to foot. “Since there isn’t a toilet out here, where exactly am I supposed to pee?”
The father looked at his son knowingly and said, “You see, son, that’s the beauty of camping. Everywhere you look could be your bathroom!”
Taking the advice to heart, the boy disappeared for a few minutes while his father kept the fire going. When he returned, the father asked, “So, how was it? Where did you end up going?”
“It was great,” the son replied. “Your tent is really cozy.”
2. Is He Dead Yet?
Two hunters were walking through a dangerous forest. Without warning, the first hunter froze, eyes wide as he fell to the ground. His body was motionless, and he didn’t appear to be breathing; his eyes were focused on a distant point in the sky, unseeing.
Panicked, the second hunter pulled out his phone and called 911.
“911, what is your emergency?” the operator asked.
“I-I think my friend is dead. What should I do?”
Sensing how flustered the hunter was, the operator attempted to sooth him. Gently, yet firmly, she said, “Alright, calm down – I can help you. First, let’s make sure your friend is actually dead.”
There was a pause on the other end of the line. The operator was about to speak again when she heard a loud gunshot and a soft rustling noise. A short moment later, the hunter replied, “Okay, now what?”
3. Proselytizing a Bear
There once were three friends: a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. They wanted to find out who did their job best, so they discussed what might be done to determine a winner. “Let’s go into the woods and find a bear,” they agreed. “Whoever has the most successful conversion is the best among us.”
So saying, they each entered the woods and found a bear. After trying their hardest, the three friends met up again to discuss the results of their competition.
“I found a bear at the base of the mountain,” the priest began. “I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled holy water on him. He’ll be having his first communion next week.”
The minister followed this by saying, “I found a bear by the river. After I preached to him from God’s holy word, he agreed to be baptized right away.”
Both of them looked to the rabbi, who was lying in a body cast, stretched out on a gurney. Sensing that it was his turn, the rabbi let out a big sigh and said, “Perhaps… I shouldn’t have started with circumcision.”
4. Edible Bugs
A boy and his father were sitting around a campfire, each one enjoying a hearty bowl of soup. Looking at his dad curiously, the boy asked, “Hey, do you know if it’s safe to eat bugs?”
The father blanched. “Why would you bring that up while we’re trying to eat? Let’s finish dinner first, and then you can ask me whatever you want.”
After cleaning off their meal, the father sighed, patted his belly, and said, “So, what was this about bugs that you wanted to know?”
“Oh, nothing,” the boy replied, washing out his bowl. “There was a bug in your soup, but it’s gone now.”
