Campfires and RVing go together like marshmallows and chocolate—or at least, that’s what we thought! In our latest newsletter poll, we asked our readers a simple but fun question: “Do you have a favorite campfire song or story?”

The results were… well, let’s just say they weren’t exactly what we expected.

Before we dive into the shocking truth, a quick reminder: If you want your voice heard (and to prove us wrong next time), make sure to vote in our upcoming polls!

Now, let’s get to the fiery details.

The Results Are In—And They’re Brutally Honest

Drumroll, please…

  • 100% of voters said NO
  • 0% said YES.

That’s right—not a single respondent claimed to have a beloved campfire tune or tale.

At first, we thought there might have been a glitch in the system.

Maybe the “Yes” button was broken?

Did our readers collectively forget every campfire song ever written?

Or is the truth far more devastating—are campfire traditions dying out?

Possible Theories for the Great Campfire Silence

1. “We’re Too Busy Streaming Netflix in Our RVs”

Let’s face it—modern RVers have Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and all the comforts of home.

Why strain your vocal cords singing “Kumbaya” when you can binge-watch your favorite show instead?

The campfire may have been replaced by the glow of a tablet screen.

2. “Nobody Wants to Hear My Off-Key Rendition of ‘Wonderwall’”

Perhaps RVers are just being considerate.

Not everyone is a gifted storyteller or musician, and nobody wants to be that person who murders “Sweet Caroline” in front of a captive audience.

Silence is golden—especially when the alternative is a tone-deaf singalong.

3. “We Forgot All the Lyrics After the First Verse”

Let’s be real: Most of us only remember the chorus of any campfire song, and even then, we’re just mumbling through the parts we don’t know. After a few failed attempts, it’s easier to just toss another log on the fire and call it a night.

4. “Ghost Stories Just Aren’t the Same Without Jump Scares”

Maybe traditional campfire tales have lost their thrill.

In an age of horror movies and haunted houses, a spooky story about a vanishing hitchhiker might not pack the same punch. Or worse—what if telling ghost stories just makes everyone too scared to sleep in their RV afterward?

Conclusion: Is the Campfire Tradition Extinct?

While the poll results were undeniably hilarious (and a little sad), we suspect the truth lies somewhere between modern distractions and performance anxiety.

RVing has evolved, and so have our evening routines.

But before we declare the campfire sing-along officially dead, we’ll give it one more shot—next time, we’re bringing a karaoke machine to the rally.

So, what do you think? Were our readers just shy, or is the campfire tradition really fading? Drop a comment in our private Facebook Group or vote in our next poll—because if we hit 100% “No” again, we might have to start a support group for lonely campfire enthusiasts.
