Every time we think of a camp, the image that crosses our mind includes a stream flowing nearby, tents set on a river bed, campers basking in the Sun in a hammock, and a bonfire surrounded by campers, one of who has a guitar in hand. There’s a dimly lit lantern or LED in the tents, which are spacious enough to allow for a music jack and a stove jack. Just in case you’re wondering where to find such tents, look for Canvas Tents from White Duck Outdoors.
People mostly choose to go camping because they need to feel closer to nature, and a detox from the busy, urban schedule always helps in providing motivation. The detox could involve anything that makes you feel happy and connected to nature. Music, for example, is one of the best ways to get in the camping flow. So if you’re planning a trip in the woods, here are the best campfire songs for your camping trip…
For the Guitar players and lovers:
- Hotel California- Eagles
…cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas,… rising through the air.. relatable much?

The night has come, and the land is dark…
- Sweet Home Albama: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Big wheels keep on turning, carry me home to see my kin
- Take Me Home Country Roads: John Denver

If you’re camping with the kids

- The Music Man: What better than some action along with the music for the kids.
- Agadoo: The vocals of this song doesn’t simply grab your attention, but is also fun to sing along.
- The Road Goes Ever On: So you are camping in the woods, and singing from the old Bilbo Baggin’ The Hobbit? The kids love it already!
