Our Story
As an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America and an all-around outdoor enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of setting up camps all over this beautiful country. While many locations were far off the beaten path the simplicity of camping in the backyard remains one of my favorite spots for spur of the moment campouts. In 2017, Backyards and Beyond was created to provide beginners with an opportunity to give camping a try without dropping a small fortune on all of the basic equipment. We have since evolved into a turnkey tent service and outdoor entertainment rental company, outfitting our clients with all the necessary gear to make the most of their outdoor events. Our goal is to take care of the gear so you can focus on the experience. Go ahead! Let Backyards and Beyond help outfit your next big adventure and get out there. -Paul E. |

What are people saying about us?
Customer testimonials:
"We also purchased pre-set tents by Backyards and Beyond and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in these settings. Their setup provided privacy for each of their customers, they had coffee brewing, a beer share, and games. They’re super nice people who went out of their way to make our experience top notch. I hope they come back next year!"
Paul J.
"Thanks you for your hospitality, it meant so much to us 💕"
Linda T.
"Also want to put in a plug for Backyards and Beyond. Really appreciated having that option, arriving to have our tent set up and bed inflated. And delighted to find bonus services--we were offered beer or cider on arrival, hot coffee each morning, and a communal place to hang out protected from the rain. Paul was an excellent host. Again, many thanks!"
Holly E.
"We had a wonderful time this year at Blue Ox and a great portion of pleasure was attributed to Backyards and Beyond. We were thrilled that No Boundaries Tiny Homes teamed up with Backyards and Beyond for the shared space and amenities area. From the morning coffee, to the beer social, to the most competitive game of jenga I’ve ever been a part of, we enjoyed being your neighbors. Of course we can't write a review without mentioning Bob. What a happy, thoughtful, and genuine guy. Bob really seems to enjoy helping you on events and we were glad to get to know the both of y’all. Hopefully, Blue Ox 2023 will have you guys back. These gulf coast Louisiana Cajuns are already planning next years trip up to the pines."

"Backyards and Beyond was the BEST part of our festival experience. I would travel the country just to camp with these guys again! Paul, who runs B&B, is amazing. He had our campsite set up perfectly and provided a great space for us to relax and play games with new friends. After leaving the arena each night, I couldn’t wait to get back “home” to the Backyards and Beyond site to chill out and have a drink. Paul is the man - he LITERALLY gave me his own rain jacket so I could have a fun + dry festival experience!! ❤️❤️❤️"

"Such an amazing night at the movies provided by Backyards and Beyond! The women of Chi Omega were treated to a show under the stars during Work Week. What a great time and professional set up. Can't thank Paul enough for providing such a great service in the middle of Greektown!"

"Used Backyards and Beyond for Pedaler’s Jamboree 2019. So happy with the service! Everything was set up after a long day of riding. No hauling tons of gear. Paul and Tom were very welcoming. Enjoyed relaxing in the evening, and the next morning we were ready to get up and go. No messing with tear down or hauling the gear to the finish line. Thanks for a great weekend! Looking forward to next time!"

"Backyards and Beyond is my new favorite company! My husband and I booked them for our first Pedaler's Jamboree Iowa and were so happy with everything that we can not wait to use them again next year. Paul is amazing at Customer Service! He went so far beyond what we had expected. He took any worries we had away so we could just enjoy the jamboree. The best decision we made was booking Backyards and Beyond. We look forward to seeing you again next year!!!"
Jeanna L.
"We used this service for the Iowa Pedaler's Jamboree. We are not campers but decided to give it a try. Paul is a very personable guy. Took his time to answer our many questions about our weekend. His equipment is in excellent condition. Everything he said he would deliver he did and then some. Can't wait for next year. We will be booking Backyards and Beyond again. If you get a chance or opportunity to meet Paul or use the service you should too."
Jim W.
"My wife and I attended Pedaler's Jamboree (Iowa) this past weekend and utilized Backyards and Beyond! Paul was incredible. I truly cannot express how amazing he and his company are. We hired him because we saw value in our tent being set up for us....but what we received was a concierge for our entire weekend. His level of customer service and ability to "sense" and provide what all his diverse clients need is top notch. We will absolutely use him again as he made this weekend an incredible experience."

"Provided everything we needed to have a fun night right in our neighborhood, from an outdoor movie, camping chairs, tents and even yard games the group could enjoy together. Please check them out, you won't be sorry!"
