Playing with Your Campground Crew: A Murbles Match for All Ages

When the sun dips low and the campfire’s just getting started, there’s one game that brings everyone out of their rigs and into the fun: Murbles. No setup, no electricity, no age limits—just a handful of colorful balls and a whole lot of laughter.

Whether you're parked for the weekend or attending the Forest River Owner's Group RV rally (FROG Rally) , Murbles is the kind of game that turns strangers into teammates and kids into confident competitors. It’s portable, inclusive, and perfect for campground chaos.

What is Murbles?

Think bocce meets backyard freestyle. Murbles is a lawn game played with oversized plastic balls, designed to be tossed—not rolled—toward a target ball called the point ball. The goal? Get your Murbles closer to the point ball than your opponent.

No court required. No measuring tape needed. Just open space, a few players, and a set of Murbles.

🛠️ How to Play

1. Choose your Murbles: Each player gets 3 balls in a unique color.

2. Toss the point ball: This sets the target for the round.

3. Take turns tossing: Players try to land their Murbles closest to the point ball.

4. Score: Closest ball earns 1 point. First to 10 wins!

You can play one-on-one or in teams. The rules are flexible, and the game adapts beautifully to uneven terrain, grassy fields, or sandy patches near your site.

When the shot is too close to call, that's when Murray grabs the official tape measure to ensure precision isn't just a goal but a reality—especially when it comes to assessing those murbles!

Why do RV'ers LOVE Murbles?

At Learn to RV, we believe that fun knows no age limits—whether it’s toddlers, teens, or grandparents, everyone can join in on the action with Murbles! This portable game fits conveniently into a small bag, making it perfect for spontaneous play anytime, anywhere, with zero hassle.

It’s an excellent icebreaker for new neighbors or fellow rallygoers, promoting social connections without cutthroat competition. We've seen Murbles inspire everything from campfire tournaments to family fun, reminding us that joy and movement go hand in hand on the road!

❤️ Why We Love It:

• No setup, no stress—just dump, toss, and play.

• Perfect for all ages and abilities.

• Great for RV rallies, roadschool recess, or spontaneous campground fun.

Hosting a Murbles Tournament is a great way to introduce Murbles to your friends, family, and even make a few new friends.

Pick a central spot: Open grassy areas work best.

• Bring extras: If you have multiple sets, combine them for bigger games.

• Add flair: Create team names, keep score on a whiteboard, or offer silly prizes.

• Include everyone: Rotate players in and out so no one’s left on the sidelines.

In a lifestyle where connection matters more than competition, Murbles is a perfect fit. It’s not just a game—it’s a moment-maker. So next time you’re parked with your campground crew, grab your Murbles and let the good times roll (or toss).

Ready to turn your next campground hangout into a full-blown party? 🎉

Technically, yes—you can juggle with Murbles, but it’s not what they’re designed for. Each Murble is about 3 inches in diameter and weighs roughly half a pound, made from high-density polyplastic.

• ✅ Durable and easy to grip

• ✅ Lightweight enough for tossing

• ⚠️ But a bit bulky and heavy for traditional juggling

If you're an experienced juggler, and you're waiting for your shot...you could probably manage a basic 3-ball cascade with Murbles. But for most folks, they’re better suited for tossing in the game than tossing in the air.

Go grab your Murbles set today and let the tossing begin! Whether you're rallying the RV crew or just looking for a game that spans generations, Murbles is the no-fuss, all-fun outdoor game that fits right into your lifestyle.

You can find official sets—including travel-friendly and tournament options—on the Murbles shop or pick up the 9-ball travel set on Amazon... or if you are lucky enough to meet the inventor of Murbles Murray will even sign your bag!

🔥 No court. No setup. Just dump, toss, and play.

Murray Kramer, the inventor of Murbles, created the game back in 1979 after losing too many rounds of horseshoes to his neighbor. Determined to design something anyone could win, he came up with Murbles—a lighter, more dynamic twist on bocce that doesn’t require a court or special setup.



Murray is known for showing up at rallies and tournaments with his iconic Murbles van, sometimes even giving away sets to lucky winners. He’s a Navy vet and passionate about keeping the game 100% Made in America. If you spot him at an event, you might just walk away with your own set—just like this year’s lucky winner!

It’s Not Always About Winning…

At this year’s FROG rally, one family didn’t take home the tournament trophy—but they did walk away with something even more meaningful: a brand-new set of Murbles, gifted by RV Roofing Solutions.

Why? Because community matters.

Because generosity ripples.

Because sometimes, the best prize is feeling seen and included.

Whether you’re tossing Murbles in the sunshine or cheering from the sidelines, these moments remind us that everyone belongs with a reminder from Learn to RV that there really is no second row in a circle.
