There was a campfire by a lake. A young boy was sitting by it all alone. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise from the water. He looked and saw a beautiful mermaid. She swam closer and told him stories of an underwater world full of magic and mystery. The boy was fascinated. When the mermaid left, the boy knew he would always remember that magical encounter by the campfire.
Near a campfire, two friends, Tom and Jerry, were camping. They had an argument during the day. But as they sat by the campfire at night, the warmth seemed to melt their anger.

They then spent the rest of the night sharing funny stories and roasting marshmallows, their friendship stronger than ever.

Once, a hiker got lost in the woods at night. He found an old, abandoned cabin. As he entered, the door slammed shut behind him. Strange noises started, like whispers of the dead. He saw a shadowy figure in the corner. Terrified, he ran towards the window, but it was boarded up. Then he passed out. When he woke up, he was outside the woods, not knowing how he got there.
One interesting Campfire Short Story could be about a lost hiker who stumbles upon a magical grove. In the grove, there are talking animals that help him find his way back home. Another could be a story of a young girl who discovers a hidden treasure chest in an old attic while staying at a spooky, old campfire site. And there might be a story of a group of friends who make a wish by the campfire and strange, wonderful things start to happen to them one by one.
One common theme is mystery. For example, stories about strange noises or lights in the forest that turn out to have a simple but unexpected explanation. Another theme is adventure, like a camper's journey to find a lost treasure or a hidden place.
A camper was sitting alone by the campfire. Suddenly, he noticed a pair of red eyes staring at him from the bushes. He threw a stick in that direction, but the eyes didn't move.

But the feeling of being watched never left him for the rest of the night.
One scary campfire story is about a hiker. He was alone in the woods at night. He heard strange noises, like growls. Then he saw a pair of glowing eyes in the dark. He ran, but the thing chased him. He never knew what it was.
