Bug spray will keep the bugs away. You may not be in the woods, but the bugs will still come after you. Keep those pesky buggers away with bug spray and citronella candles. If you are not a fan of putting harsh chemicals on your children, consider an all natural bug spray.

Sleep outside. The best part of backyard camping is setting up the tents and spending the night outside. Sure, it is not going to be the most comfortable bed but that is not the point.
