Look up Ladder golf and corn hole. they are both easily built and provide hours of entertainment. Depending on where you go, the pool, the beach, and CG activities usually keep ours entertained.

I didn't see bicycles listed. Any age can ride them. We usually camp near rails-to-trails and if you did that you could just turn the kids loose; no way to get lost on a trail.

We usually take 4 teens with us. My son 18, my daughter 15, and a friend for each. You will be surprised at how well they keep themselves entertained!

If you'll be somewhere where they can swim, they seem to love the water. With DS's teenage (13 - 16 yo's) boy scouts, they really get into playing cards. One one week long trip, we played Hearts for hours at a time every night in camp. Ladder golf usually goes over pretty good with our kids too. We've not tried corn hole or washers yet.

Just them be kids. Don't plan too much. Watch out for the "show me" games.

Happened to me and my kid with his GF while camping last summer.
