There are so many new campfire activities you could come up with but traditions are the things that we remember most! Taking time to carry on, playing campfire games or even making new traditions, is an integral part of the camping experience. Snuggle up in your sleeping bags and stargaze! If you have a smartphone, you can download a star map.

Spend time spotting the constellations and telling the stories behind them. Stargazing is an experience you’re unlikely to forget. Even if it isn’t your first time camping, the sky is mesmerizing every time you get away from the light pollution. Stargazing might just become one of your most favorite campfire ideas!

Scavenger hunts turn nature into an adventure. Geolocation hunting is a fun way to do scavenger hunts. If you’re not that adventurous try a nature scavenger hunt. Make up a list to take with you and see who can find the most. You can also take an object to hide and make up clues. However you choose to do a scavenger hunt; they are an excellent activity to do on any camping trip.
