If you will be camping with friends or family this season, one of the best parts of camping is the camp fire.  Camp fires bring people together and are sure to make memories for the years to come.  Here are some great activities to participate in around the camp fire.

Many people love camp fires, they are so much fun and bring us back to the old days before the TV and electric lights.  Many people love to act like cowboys when camping and bring along a guitar or harmonica in order to sing songs.  Camp fires are also great to tell scary stories, especially when you and your friends or family members are spooked by the natural surroundings late at night.  There are plenty of books available that have great camp fire stories and ghost stories to tell and most of them are extremely affordable.

Cooking is also a fun activity for the camp fire. Everyone loves toasted marshmallows, but meat over the open fire is also extremely tasty.  Most campers just need a cooler to store their food items an open fire and some spits or branches to hold the food over the fire.  If you are looking for some great times with your friends and family, enjoy time around the camp fire.
