50 campfire songs to add to your playlist this summer

Summer is the perfect time to pull up a seat around an outdoor fire pit under the stars.

When you gather around the campfire this summer, whether it be in your backyard or at the campground, you need the perfect playlist to accompany your fireside chats and s'more making. 

If anyone around the firepit is musically inclined, an acoustic version of everyone's favorite songs will fit the ambiance of the setting.

Alternatively, if you don't have anyone who can strum the guitar while everyone sings along, that's OK. A speaker will do the trick.
