Camping can be a fun, adventurous, and relaxing way to spend time in nature. Encourage guests to bring along outdoor gear and enjoy the fresh air with activities like hiking, bird-watching or wildlife spotting. Set the mood for the party with tiki torches and lanterns to illuminate the night. Serve snacks and desserts that are inspired by the outdoors, like s’mores kits and campfire apples.
Camping requires packing a variety of items, and food is one of the most important considerations. Fortunately, there are plenty of delicious and easy campfire cooking recipes to keep hungry hikers and backpackers fed. Some of these camping dinner ideas include foil packet meals, chili and soup, grilled chicken skewers with tzatziki sauce, and more.
Foil packet dinners are a great option for camping since they are easy to pack, cook over the fire and require no additional gear or cooking tools. For an even more portable meal, try these foil packet burgers with a zesty pineapple salsa.
These cheesy camping nachos can be made at home and then assembled and topped with cheese and grilled vegetables at the campground. For a vegetarian option, swap out the meat for cashew ricotta and sliced veggies.
Give guests the opportunity to relax and unwind after a long day outdoors with a movie night under the stars or in a camp building. Set up a concession stand where guests can purchase snacks, drinks and props to enhance the viewing experience.
