Both are appealing in their own ways, but the bliss they share is that slow, relaxing time after you’ve finished setting up, right?

We’ve selected jazzy classics to color that chill atmosphere, drawing from both Western and Japanese music.

The first half focuses on Western tracks, and the second half on Japanese tracks—so be sure to check it out!

Songs I'd like to listen to while camping: Jazzy BGM (11–20)

All of MeTammy Renee’

When it comes to the most satisfying moment in camping, isn’t it when you’ve just finished setting up your base? The more serious the base, the greater the sense of accomplishment when it’s done.

I imagine many people want to admire the base they’ve built while listening to some lively music at that moment.

For those people, I recommend the song “All of Me.” It’s a standard jazz piece, much like popular music, with an overall bright and festive melody.
