The day’s over and everyone’s relaxing and eating s’mores before the campfire.What else could be a more fun (and super inexpensive) camping activity than singing?

Loosen up after a long day. Try learning these simple, crowd-pleasing songs for camping that are very easy to play on the quitar and sing-along. Here are my 5 best picks for campfire singing:

1. If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies - What would you do if you had one million dollars? This song will take words right out of your mouth! It’s easy to sing and a fun campfire song that anyone can relate to.

2. Danny’s Song by Loggins and Messina - This sweet and soothing acoustic song about a father’s love will tug you in the heart and will suddenly make you miss your parents!

3. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-DA by The Beatles - This may be one of the catchiest songs ever composed on our planet. It’s happy, upbeat and a very easy sing-along song for camping.

4. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol - This lovely, slow rock song is described by the lead singer Gary Lightbody as his “purest love song”.

5. Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison - This is a popular campfire song that will make you want to clap your hands while singing. It’s has simple chords with a catchy and cheerful beat.

What songs have you sung the last time when you went camping?
