Top 5 Camping Food Ideas

When you’re out and about on a camping trip, it’s always helpful to have some food on hand. A good snack or meal should provide a burst of energy and help you to stay full for longer. The classic sandwich is a great option as it doesn’t require refrigeration and can be easily eaten on the go. Try to mix up your options by bringing a variety of breads (or bagels), sliced meats and cheeses for easy, nutritious handheld meals. For a healthier option, add some fresh or dried fruit for an added boost of energy.

One of the best camping breakfast ideas comes in the form of a French Toast sandwich – check out this recipe from Fresh Off the Grid to get started. It’s super easy to make, requires no cooking equipment at the campsite and can be made with a range of toppings for the ultimate camping breakfast.

Tacos are another great camping meal, especially if you prepare a filling at home before heading off to camp and then just reheat them. This recipe from Clodagh McKenna uses shrimp for a bit of extra protein but you could swap it for veggie fillings for a deliciously vegetarian meal.

If you’re looking for a hearty dinner idea that’s perfect for camp, look no further than this amazing chili mac. It’s a quick and easy one-pot dinner that only uses a stovetop, making it a great option for camping with kids.
