Picking and singing around the campfire.

[Locky]

Anybody else still sit around the campfire playing the guitar and singing? We usually will have 10-15 people around the campfire with a couple of us with our guitars and everybody singing away. Those my friend are good times.

Hoping for that this weekend at the ga state bluegrass festival!

The DW is a singer/songwriter and has a backpack guitar she takes camping.
She grew up camping with family so she was always the one to get the campfire singing going.

I have to ask. The DW??? I keep seeing people use that.

I hope you only do that when you’re boondocking with friends and not in an established campground. I don’t go camping to hear a concert, especially one put on by an amateur. Although I’ve only had to do this three times over many years of camping, I have a couple of CD’s with Rap and Hip Hop music that I put on and crank up the volume. When the offending campsite quits playing music I turn mine off.

Agreed.

Unless you are boondocking with nobody else around, I would not do this out of courtesy for my neighbors who just want to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Not to be a wet blanket but I hope while your having "good times" there is some consideration for those non participants in other sites around you

Singing is not me and as far as playing a guitar my fingers are to big. DW say I can’t carry a note in wheelbarrow

Been camping out for 25 days at a stretch at the Kerrville Folk Festival since 1978 so, ya, we do A LOT of pickin', grinning' and ginnin'!

To me it depends on the time of day. I have camped all over and if between say noon and 4pm people are singing or loud I am all for it. Kids are loud laugh and learn the love of camping and family time etc.

THB as long as they come and ask if it goes later I will put up with noise. I have learned what CG's I consider family friendly (Noise until dark) and the geriatric CG's who whine about anything. I spend time in both depending on my mood. That is why most CG's have noise hours.

Have fun and communicate with each other is key.

Some years back we were tent camping when a large group of some 25 people set up camp behind us. Some time around 11 PM they loudly sang their prayers to Jesus before retiring.
At 6:30 AM we were rudely awoken to their morning prayers. They were not very Christion in understanding and accepting my complaint.
Praise the lord, we were leaving that day.

The site team is going to do an off-topic cleanup in this thread, as there are several posts that don't help answer the original question AT ALL, nor are they conducive to the forums main motto:

• We take the "be nice" rule VERY seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness.

We will be closing this thread while we do this, and decide if further site team actions are being necessitated due to some concerning comments being made here.

EDIT: The site team deleted some posts in this thread. We are going to reopen it. If you can't really add to the OP's question at hand, then it's best to find a thread where you can be of help.

Seems to be quite a few "wet blankets" in the camping world nowadays. Before 2200 hrs.

[prairiegypsy]

I love hearing people play instruments and sing around a campfire and am often drawn to join them. I don't care for loud radios, boomboxes, etc., but live acoustic music is appreciated.

[Life Without Whine]

Just spent the past weekend at StringBreak in Brooksville, FL ... weather was not great for 'round the fire music so added a couple shots from past years .... I am really good at clapping my hands together but cannot play much else (but I will pass the moonshine)

You should maybe constrain its use to males. Call a woman an Old Coot and you might get slapped about the chops.
