Having a campfire is all part of the ‘camping experience’, and if you’re are having a campfire, you need some campfire stories. Here’s our free campfire storybook to get you started…
These days you can take iPads, iPods, and even TVs to the campsite.
We like to have traditional camping entertainment: a campfire. It’s amazing how you can be transfixed by a campfire (mind you, a lot of TV is just watching flashing lights I suppose!).
Nothing goes better with a campfire than a campfire story….and we’ve got a few for you below.

The Best Way to Tell a Campfire Story
You could, of course, read out of our campfire storybook to your kids. But you can do much better than just reading the stories out 😉you can do much better than just reading the stories out
Campfire stories are best told as a story of something you ‘heard about’ or something you experienced. Reading them from a book doesn’t come across as well.
With each campfire story, we have included a story outline. Read the main story, and once you’re familiar with the theme, you can just use the story outline to help retell it without reading from the book.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember the story word for word. Tell it your way.Tell it your way
Remember to modify each story to suit your kids, your location, and places your family knows for that added realism.
We’ve also indicated in some stories when to speak quieter, and when to shout….but again, it’s totally up to you.
