I picked up a Furch Little Jane just for this. It would be my choice if it's a true camping trip due to space concerns. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any of my better guitars to an outing just for the night.

For a regular campfire, I'm fine with taking anything that already has some playwear, dings, and finish wear. But when I visit my friend who has two big rambunctious dogs that inexplicably love me, I take my Tacoma road rashed PM-20. Great sounding guitar with built in cosmetic issues, and it allows me to relax around them.

The Taylor 114 or the Voyage Air VAOM-04.
The Taylor's back and side finish got a little sticky after too many camping trips so I called up Taylor to ask what I could do. They said to send it in and they would refinish it and set it up. They said it would take 6 weeks. It was back in about 3. Yeah, I had to pay the postage (~$100 total both ways). But, OMG, it was better than new while still having it's mojo (the top was not refinished per my request). It sounds wonderful, too. It used to growl more but now it sings more. So happy about that, but I might be more likely to take the VAOM-04 to the real "beater" opportunities. :-) Kumbaya, everyone! _Roger Last edited by RogerPease; 08-22-2020 at 06:18 PM.

I have a Blueridge BR160 that is my go to outdoor/vacation guitar. It's very loud and gets a tone that is "martin like"?? It's a great guitar and has held up well over years of vacations at Lake Erie. While it's not a "beater" it's also not my Martin HD28, so the risk of possible damage is acceptable to me.

Yamaha FG800. Easy and fun to play. Lightweight. Sounds and intones better than my two old beater Yamaha FG200s. Replaceable. Inexpensive and plain enough that I would not be so distraught if it got dinged or worse. Easy and fun is the right mood around a campfire and this guitar has it covered.

I don't embrace the concept of campfire guitar. I would take my
Taylor 412, an easy choice since it is my only acoustic steel string.

Campfire gatherings were my only option to play out this summer. I tend to take my cheapest and most sturdy guitar, which also has the advantage that it is the most bright and chimey one so is easily heard among other instruments. It's a 12 string Ovation Legend LX.

That's easy. It's always my Martin D Jr.-10. It's a great little guitar -- all solid wood and sounds great. It's also not terribly expensive, especially if you buy used like I did.

My camp guitar is what ever guitar I want to have with me on the trip.
I don't have one designated as a camp guitar. I tried that and was always disappointed with the sound of the guitar and wished that I had brought a better guitar with me. Just be careful with what ever guitar you take and enjoy the music.
