Classic Songs to Sing Around the Campfire

November 22, 2022 Kim 8 Comments

Classic Songs to Sing Around the Campfire

These classic songs to sing around the campfire will remind you of your younger days!

Back in the day, when my friend would whip out his guitar and start playing rock & roll classic songs like “Amie” by Pure Prairie League, we would sing along with him. Today, I can’t help but think about the good ole days when we would sing songs at parties and in my living room. Those were fun times! Now, our favorite songs back then are played everywhere…even outdoors. These Classic Songs to Sing Around the Campfire, may bring back some memories for many of you. I cringe every time I hear one.

Classic Songs To Sing Around The Campfire

A weekend of camping is the best time with family and friends. Our favorite part of the weekend was around the campfire, roasting marshmallows for s’ mores. I tried to break out a catchy tune by Johnny Cash, but they weren’t. They didn’t like my singing, or everyone was too busy stuffing their mouths. Not only that, but I even talked about those camp songs we sang as young kids.

I finally got a fire pit for my backyard and hadn’t even roasted a marshmallow yet. So, I’m excited to have a few friends over for s’ mores and campfire sing-alongs. I’m sure these classic songs (in no particular order) will spark some interest in singing –at least, I hope so. I hope to ask a friend over that has a guitar because it’s always easier to sing when there’s music involved. Plus, I’m sure since he or she knows how to play the guitar, surely they would know a known song or two!

Whether gathering around a campfire during a weekend camping out or enjoying a peaceful night around a fire pit in your backyard, there are some awesome classic hits to sing that everyone probably knows a word or two and can join in. Whether it’s a love song, simple song, classic song, or country song, start it off, and I bet someone in your group will join in.

Kid’s Song Around The Campfire

And a great song for young children is “Boom Chicka Boom” or “Going On A Bear Hunt,” both by The Kiboomers.

What’s one of the best campfire songs you’ve sung, perhaps at summer camp? Do you play these songs around the campfire, at parties, or at get-togethers? What is your all-time favorite song to sing around the campfire?

There’s no excuse to sing your favorite song on your next camping trip. Start with the first verse of a simple tune, and you’ll be a pro before you know it. What a better way to get the whole family together?

One last good song not mentioned above is by Ben E. King – “Stand By Me” – don’t forget this one!
