campfire circle

Fireside seating arrangement

A campfire circle is the ring of people seated around a fire, or the physical arrangement of logs, stones, or chairs that forms this seating area.

The term evokes outdoor gatherings—camping trips, scout meetings, summer camps—where groups share stories, songs, or conversation around flames: We gathered in the campfire circle for ghost stories.
