Campfires make your camping more memorable. Sit around a campfire. Look at wood burning and hear nature sound. You will have time to think about all kinds. But remember some campgrounds don't allow campfires. So always check this out before you decide a campsite.

Make sure if there are any fire restriction s before you build any fires outdoors. Ask the attendant when you arrive at the campground or call the local forest district or campground office for information. In campgrounds and other recreation sites, build fires only in fire rings, grills, stoves or fireplaces.

Set up a fire with paper, matches and etc. Firewood can be easily found around camsites. Use only dead wood lying on the ground. Do not cut live threes or break of branches from standing trees. The most important things you willl need for an easy fire is "Dry Wood" There are 3 basic stuff to build a fire: a bunch of newspaper (10-12 sheets), kindling, 3-4 pieces of fire wood in small sizes. Crumple the sheets of newspaper loosely and individually. Mound them in the fireplace. Distribute the kindling above the paper. Set the fire on top of it . Once it's going well, add more firewood, 2-3 pieces at a time going up in size. You will have a well burning fire.
