funny short campfire stories

A simple one is about a camper who tried to make a tent for the first time. He followed the instructions but ended up with something that looked like a big, lumpy blob. His friends laughed so hard when they saw it that they decided to sleep under the stars instead. It was a memorable camping trip just because of that tent - making disaster.

In a camping trip, a group of friends decided to tell spooky but funny stories. One girl told a story about a ghost who was scared of the dark. So every time the night came, the ghost would hide in a camper's sleeping bag. Everyone was laughing so hard imagining a scared ghost.

There were campers who told stories around the campfire every night. One night, a small boy said he saw a magic frog by the lake. Everyone laughed. But then they heard a croaking sound. They all ran to the lake and saw a frog with a shiny stone on its head. It was like the frog was really magical.

Sure. Here's one. A bear walks into a bar and says, 'Give me a whiskey... and a cola.' The bartender asks, 'Why the big pause?' The bear replies, 'I'm not sure; I was born with them.'

Once there were two campers. One said to the other, 'I can make the fire burn green.' The other was skeptical. So the first camper threw a bunch of wet leaves on the fire. The fire hissed and sputtered and for a moment, in the smoke and steam, it did look kind of green. They both laughed at the silly trick.

One campfire funny story is about a hiker who thought he saw a bear in the woods. He started running and climbed up a tree. But it turned out to be just a big log with some moss on it. His friends laughed at him for hours when he finally came down.

The relatable situations. Many short funny campfire stories involve common outdoor or camping experiences. Say, a story about forgetting the tent poles and trying to make a tent without them. People who have camped can easily relate and find it humorous. Also, the unexpected twists. Like in a story where you think a hiker is going to find a beautiful view but instead he finds a group of dancing raccoons. It catches you off guard and makes you laugh.

There's the 'Invisible Camping Buddy' story. A kid was at camp and felt like he had an invisible friend who helped him set up the tent really fast. Every time he needed something, like a tent peg, it would just appear. Turns out it was a little magical creature that loved camping and decided to help the kid. It was a really light - hearted and humorous story.

There's the story of 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. The vain emperor is tricked into believing he's wearing magnificent clothes when in fact he's naked. The people are too afraid to say he's not dressed until a little child blurts out the truth. It's a funny and thought - provoking story for kids. Also, 'The Ugly Duckling' has its funny moments as the duckling is teased by the other animals but then turns into a beautiful swan in the end, which always surprises and amuses kids.

One story is about a hiker. He got lost in the woods at night. As he was walking, he heard strange giggles. He turned around and saw a small, imp - like creature with a big grin. It started dancing in a really funny way, but it was also scary because he didn't know what it would do next. He ran away as fast as he could.
