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.

"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!!!"

"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."

"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."
