There’s something magical about gathering around a crackling campfire—whether you’re roasting marshmallows, telling stories, or simply enjoying the warmth of the flames. But the perfect campfire isn’t just about the fire itself; it’s about creating the right atmosphere and having the right campfire apparel and accessories to make your time around the fire as enjoyable as possible.
Here’s our recipe for a great campfire, with a little help from our Lakewish apparel, to keep you cozy and stylish while you relax under the stars.
Step 1: Set the Scene with a Warm Fire
The foundation of any good campfire is the fire itself. Start by gathering your firewood—make sure you have kindling, small branches, and larger logs to keep it going all night. Arrange the wood in a teepee or log cabin shape, allowing air to flow freely through the center for a strong flame. A great fire will not only provide heat but also set the perfect ambiance for a night outdoors.
Don’t forget your seating! Arrange enough seating to make sure everyone – adults and kids alike – can be included. Make sure you have easy access to campfire snacks and your cooler.
Step 2: Layer Up in Campfire Apparel
While the fire will keep you warm, you’ll need some extra layers to stay cozy as the evening chill sets in. Start with our Pom Pom Beanies, perfect for keeping your head warm while adding a playful touch to your look. Made from soft, stretchy fabric, our beanies will keep you snug without sacrificing style.
Next, grab one of our Crewneck Sweatshirts. Made from a soft cotton-poly blend, these sweatshirts offer the perfect balance of warmth and comfort. The material is lightweight enough to keep you from feeling weighed down but warm enough to shield you from the cool night air. Whether you’re sitting by the fire or want to cool down with a stroll by the lake, this sweatshirt is a must-have for those chilly Northwoods evenings.
And of course, don’t forget a Lakewish Insulated Tumbler to keep your drink at the perfect temperature all night long. Whether you're sipping on wine, holiday hot cocoa, or a campfire cocktail, our insulated tumblers will keep your beverage at the perfect temperature for hours. Plus, they’re built to withstand any outdoor adventure, making them a great companion for your campfire experience.
Step 3: Bring Good Company
A great campfire is never complete without the right company. Whether you’re gathered with family, friends, or loved ones, having good people around the fire makes the experience even better. Share stories, laugh, and create memories while the fire crackles and the night sky glistens above.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
To make your campfire experience truly unforgettable, add some cozy blankets, comfy camping chairs, and a few extra logs for the fire. Set up some lanterns or string lights around your campsite to create a warm glow and help set the mood.
