The Best Campfire Songs for Any Camping Trip
40 Top Campfire Songs to Sing During Your Next Camping Trip
One of the best parts of any camping trip is building a campfire and getting warm while roasting s’mores and singing campfire songs together. Although it is impossible to know who sang the first campfire song, singing songs together around a campfire in the outdoors has been a beloved tradition for centuries. Cowboys, soldiers and recreational campers alike have enjoyed indulging in this popular camping pastime as a way to relax and enjoy time spent together.
While some campfire songs tell stories, others are explicitly written to be funny and sung along with. Whether you are planning a trip for the whole family or your Scout troop, there are campfire songs fit for any group and occasion. These are 40 of the best campfire songs ever.
20 Best Family-Friendly Campfire Songs for Kids
Camping trips are a popular tradition for many families because they offer something for everyone. At the end of the night — before you break out a few kid-friendly spooky campfire stories — sing-along together to some of these family-friendly campfire songs.
“Camp Granada”
“Camp Granada” evolved from “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadadduh,” a Grammy-award winning parody performed by comedian Allan Sherman in 1963. A year later, Sherman wrote this now-popular version and played it on “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson.”
“Five Little Speckled Frogs”
“Five Little Speckled Frogs” is a well-known nursery rhyme that is perfect for young children. It tells the story of five frogs who sit on a log, taking turns jumping into the cool water. The campfire song lyrics are also educational and teach children the basics of mathematical subtraction.
“I’m Being Swallowed By a Boa Constrictor”
Author Shel Silverstein wrote and performed “I’m Being Swallowed By a Boa Constrictor,” which Johnny Cash later went on to cover. The poem-turned-song is told from the perspective of someone being eaten by a boa constrictor — but do not let the subject matter fool you.
It is a lighthearted, funny tune that kids love singing along with.
“Bumpin’ up and Down in My Little Red Wagon”
It is unclear where this song originated from, but young kids everywhere started singing along with “Bumpin’ up and Down In My Little Red Wagon” after aired on Barney the Dinosaur’s “The Backyard Show.”
“The Campfire Song Song” by Spongebob Squarepants
If your kids are fans of “SpongeBob Squarepants,” they will recognize this song immediately. “The Campfire Song Song” is sung by Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward in “The Campfire Episode” of the show’s third season.
“We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”
Author Michael Rosen based his children’s book “We’re Going On a Bear Hunt” — which tells the story of a group of siblings trying to find a bear before getting scared when they actually find one — on a popular tune that circulated American summer camps in the 1970s. The book was so popular that the words were adapted into this beloved kid’s camp song.
“The Green Grass Grew All Around”
“The Green Grass Grew All Around” is said to have grown from an Appalachian folk song. It is a famous example of a cumulative song, meaning its lyrics begin with a simple verse, and each verse afterward is modified to be a little bit longer and more complex than the one before.
“Alice the Camel”
“Alice the Camel” sings the song of Alice, a camel, who starts the song with five humps and ends with none at all. “Alice the Camel” is similar to “Five Little Speckled Frogs,” in that it teaches kids how to count down from five.
“On Top of Spaghetti”
“On Top of Spaghetti” is also known as “The Meatball Song.” It is set to the tune of the song “On Top Of Old Smoky,” and tells the story of a meatball that falls from a plate of spaghetti and rolls onto the floor.
“B-I-N-G-O”
Everyone is familiar with this family-friendly hit. Kids love “B-I-N-G-O” because they can sing and clap along with these campfire song lyrics.
“She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”
One of the earliest known recordings of this song is from the 1920s, but “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” has been around for far longer. Thanks to the repetitive lyrics, this one should be easy for all the kids to follow along with.
“Boom Chicka Boom”
Mix loud singing with nonsensical lyrics, and you have a family-friendly song that is sure to be a hit with every kid around your campfire. “Boom Chicka Boom” is a good example of this.
“My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”
Thanks to its slower pace and repetitive chorus, “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” is an easy song to sing for children and adults alike.
“John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt”
“John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt” is a beloved children’s song thanks to the varying volume and tempo, both of which increase and decrease throughout the song.
“Home on the Range”
“Home on the Range” is an excellent song for any outdoor retreat.
The song tells the story of pioneers and cowboys from the old American west. “Home on the Range” is such an American staple that Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it his favorite song when he was elected president.
“Baby Shark”
“Baby Shark” was a recent viral hit, easily making it one of the most recognizable songs on the family-friendly campfire song list. When you sing “Baby Shark,” do not forget to include the hand motions!
“Ain’t No Bugs On Me”
Any camper who has spent time in the great outdoors knows that with the beauty and adventure comes pesky bugs. “Ain’t No Bugs On Me” pays tribute to this part of the camping experience.
“Do Your Ears Hang Low?”
“Do Your Ears Hang Low” is a simple-to-sing, family-friendly campfire song that pokes fun at the floppy ears of rabbits and hound dogs.
“The Wheels on the Bus”
“The Wheels on the Bus” is a classic song for school children across the country. Consider singing this song around the campfire with young children who are starting school soon.
“Baby Bumblebee”
“Baby Bumblebee” is a cute campfire song that tells the story of a child who finds a bumblebee and cannot wait to show their mother — that is, until they are stung by the bee and forced to squish it.
Adult Campfire Songs
Campfire songs are not just for children. There are several country campfire songs and funny campfire songs for adults to enjoy on your next camping trip. For an even better experience, bring your guitar and strum along to these classic hits.
“Take Me Home Country Roads” by John Denver
“Take Me Home Country Roads” was recently made re-popular when a medley of country stars covered this John Denver classic. The song has become the unofficial anthem of not only West Virginia, but of small-town rural Americans everywhere.
“Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond
Neil Diamond wrote this 1969 song for his then-wife. Her name was actually Marsha, but he needed a three-syllable name for the lyrics to work — and thus, “Sweet Caroline” was born.
“Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison
A love anthem for couples everywhere, Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” is a fun song to sing — and clap — along with around the campfire.
“Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show
The band Old Crow Medicine Show wrote “Wagon Wheel” based off of a few melodies that Bob Dylan created for a movie back in 1973. Banjo players and vocal harmonizers will love singing this hit, which was famously sung by Darius Rucker in 2013.
“Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash
You would be hard-pressed to find someone who does not know the words to this iconic song, sung by The Man in Black. Since its original release, “Ring of Fire” has been covered by artists across all genres, including pop and rock.
“You Are My Sunshine”
“You Are My Sunshine” is a sweet, simple anthem and the state song of Louisiana.
“Edelweiss” From “The Sound of Music”
“Edelweiss” is a little bit different from the other campfire songs due to its musical origins.
The song is performed in Rodger and Hammerstein’s production, “The Sound of Music.” Many campers enjoy strumming and singing softly to “Edelweiss” as a way to slow things down at the end of the night.
“American Pie” by Don McLean
“American Pie” is an eight-minute song, praised by many as the rock-and-roll anthem of America. The song is so popular that in 2015, the original handwritten lyrics were sold at an auction in New York for 1.2 million dollars.
“Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band
This song is among one of the more modern campfire songs, but it is a popular choice. The Zac Brown Band released “Chicken Fried” in 2005, and since then, it has become one of the top songs to sing around a campfire.
“Stand By Me” by Ben E. King
“Stand By Me” is a gospel anthem from the 1960s. It is the perfect song for any group of friends who want to celebrate their time together.
Classic Campfire Songs for Scouts
What would a Scout camping trip be without Scout campfire songs? Here are 10 of the most well-known Scout songs for your troop to sing on their next outing.
“Campfire’s Burning”
“Campfire’s Burning” was written specifically to be performed around a glowing fire, as heard in the lyrics. Troop leaders can use “Campfire’s Burning” as a way to let everyone know that it is time to gather around the fire.
“Hail, Hail the Gang’s All Here”
“Hail, Hail the Gang’s All Here” is a greeting song to start your Scout camping trip off on the right note and quickly grab the attention of your campers.
“A Song That Gets on Everybody’s Nerves”
Scout campers love this song. “A Song That Gets on Everybody’s Nerves” just repeats one line — “I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves, and this is how it goes” — over and over again.
“Girl Scouts Together”
If you are camping with a Girl Scout troop, sing “Girl Scouts Together” to remind your campers what it means to be a Girl Scout — performing good deeds while being friendly to neighbors and country.
“We Are the Boy Scouts of America”
Since the Boy Scouts were founded in 1910, “We Are the Boy Scouts of America” has become one of the Boy Scout’s most recognizable Scout songs.
“Ging Gang Gooli”
Young campers love “Ging Gang Gooli” because of its nonsensical words and fun beat. For example, the first few lines are:
Ging gang gooli, gooli, gooli, gooli watcha
Ging gang goo, ging gang goo
Heyla, heyla sheyla
Heyla, sheyla heyla ho
“Brownie Smile Song”
The “Brownie Smile Song” was written for Brownies in Girl Scouts. It is a short, easy-to-sing song that will easily capture the attention of young Brownie Scouts.
“I’m a Girl Scout Daisy”
Girl Scout Daisies are girls in Kindergarten and the first grade who want to learn more about fun, sharing and leadership. “I’m a Girl Scout Daisy” is a simple song that reinforces these values.
“Make New Friends”
“Make New Friends” is a Scout campfire song that encourages campers to “make new friends, but keep the old,” and it is a great way to break the ice between new Scout members.
“I Met a Bear”
“I Met a Bear” is a fun song that requires a leader to sing the song so the campers can repeat different phrases throughout the verses.
In this song, the singer comes face to face with a bear, which ends with the singer running away and jumping into a tree to escape.

So kiss me and smile for me

Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Leaving on a jet plane
Oh babe, I hate to go
(Chorus)
All my bags are packed; I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here; Outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say “Goodbye”
But the dawn is breakin’; It’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’; He’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome, I could die
(Chorus)
There’s so many times, I’ve let you down
So many times, I’ve played around
I tell you now; They don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I’ll think of you
Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you
And when I come back, I’ll wear your wedding ring
(Chorus)
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes; I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave you alone
About the time, I won’t have to say:

Little Cabin in the wood
Little old man at the window stood,
Saw a rabbit hopping by
knocking at his door.

“Before the huntsman shoots me dead.”
“Come, little rabbit, come inside,
Safely we will hide.”
Actions:
cabin – draw shape of cabin in air
man – hands up to eyes like binoculars
rabbit – hand in “peace” sign “hopping”
knocking – pretend to knock
help me – throw arms up in air
shoots me – use hand to hold rifel
come – “come here” gesture with finger
hide – stroke one hand with the other
Keep repeating; with each repeat replace a line of the song with the appropriate action until no words are sung.

And when they were down, they were down;
And when they were only half way up,
they were neither up nor down.
For actions, get everyone to stand up each time the song says “up” and sit down when it says “down” etc.

Where nature knows no man..
A buffalo and his brother
Were lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
“Why do you lie that way?”
But the buffalo did not answer
Because he’s been dead since May
Since way last Maaayy
Across the cold damp refrigerator…
Where nature knows no man
A Buffalo and his butter
were lying in some SPAM
Said the buffalo to his butter
Why do you spread that way
But, the buffalo did not answer,
because he is not PARKAY…

Chorus:
The flicker of a campfire, the wind in the pines
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines
A place where people gather making friends of all kinds
A place where all our troubles are always left behind
So give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright
Give me some friends to sing with; I’ll be here all night
Love is for those who find it; I found mine right here
Just you and me and the campfire and songs we love to hear

to help counselors an excellent selection of songs
Summer time for children is always a holiday, school ends and parents send their children to camps, where they not only gain strength, but also have fun. Songs are an invariable attribute of each camp detachment, they cheer up, charge with positive and unite children’s groups. They can be sung by the fire, on a walk, going to the dining room, from the dining room, to the river, in general, everywhere and always.
The task of counselors and educators of children’s camps is to choose the right options for different age groups and memorize words with their squad. nineOl000

detachments of adolescent schoolchildren
It is not so easy for counselors and educators to deal with older children. Songs will help organize and rally a detachment of teenagers, the main thing is to choose those that will be of interest to them.
We recommend not disregarding those songs that their parents, grandparents once sang. For example, a song from the movie “Merry Fellows”, with a beautiful motive and words that can inspire both adults and children. Well, the songs of the famous artist and poet, Vladimir Vysotsky, are classics for all time. In our selection, we propose to sing a song with the detachment to the motive of the melody “Top”
