Camping 101: Mouth Watering Meal Ideas

With summer just around the corner, we're counting down the days to camping season! Warmer weather, longer days and sunnier skies, we can't wait to welcome you back. 

In this blog post, we've compiled a list of 10 camping meals for your next stay. 

#1 Campfire Breakfast Burritos:

  • Start your day with a mouthwatering breakfast burrito. The toppings are endless - scrambled eggs, cheese, sautéed veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms), bacon, sausage, avocado, hot sauce, sour cream, hash browns
  • To make your breakfast burrito, take a tortilla and fill it up with your ingredients (carefully to not overfill it). Wrap your tortilla in foil and heat over the campfire.

#2 Foil Packet Dinners:

  • Get creative with what you have on hand. Take your favourite meats and vegetables, season them and place them in tightly sealed foiled pouches over the campfire.

#3 Grilled Veggie Skewers:

  • Enjoy some tasty fresh summer vegetables during your next camping trip. To make - chop up a variety of vegetables, skewer them, brush with olive oil, season with salt and herbs, and pop them on the campfire. 

#4 One-Pot Pasta:

  • Keep dinner easy, quick, and with as few dishes as possible. Cook pasta, sauce, and your choice of toppings in a single pot over a portable stove or campfire for a fuss-free dinner.

#5 Campfire Pizza:

  • Get creative with campfire pizza by using pre-made pizza dough, bagels, or tortillas as a base. Top them with sauce, cheese, and your favourite toppings before cooking them over the fire for a crispy, gooey treat.

#6 Stuffed Bell Peppers

  • Fill peppers with a savoury mix of rice, beans, vegetables, and spices
  • Roast them over the campfire until they are tender 

# 7 Campfire Quesadillas:

  • Whip up easy and delicious campfire quesadillas by filling tortillas with cheese, veggies, and protein. Cook them in a cast-iron skillet over the fire until crispy and golden brown.

#8 Grilled Fish Tacos:

  • Impress your fellow campers with flavourful grilled fish tacos seasoned with lime, cilantro, and a kick of spice. Grill fish fillets over the fire and serve them in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings (we recommend chopped cabbage, avocado and salsa!)

#9 Campfire Grilled Cheese

  • Make gooey and comforting grilled cheese sandwiches over the campfire. Butter slices of bread, add your favorite cheese, and cook them in a cast-iron skillet until golden brown and melted. Perfect for a quick and tasty camping lunch or dinner.
  • Serve with a side of chips or veggies!


#10 Grilled Corn on the Cob:

  • Elevate your campfire cuisine with smoky, charred grilled corn on the cob. Brushed with butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper, this classic summer side dish is sure to be a hit.

Whether you're whipping up savoury dinners, satisfying breakfasts, or indulgent desserts, there's something for every camper to enjoy. So, gather your ingredients, stoke the campfire, and get ready to eat some delicious food on your next camping trip.
