Group for Camp Cooking and Camping Topics - Adding Recipes Every Day - You Can Add Your Own
Summer is here, and so is one of the most adventurous times of the entire year: camping season, of course. Whether you're tent camping, taking an RV, or doing something a little more glam, there are few better ways to enjoy the beautiful weather than by spending as much time as you can outside. We love getting our boots muddy and exploring the outdoors all day, followed by a relaxing evening by the campfire, eating some well-earned dinner and roasting marshmallows.
It's always wonderful to swap stories with your family as you all gaze up at the wide open sky. There are plenty of things to do and items to pack to ensure your trip goes according to plan, and we're here to make that preparation easier with this giant list of our favorite campfire recipes. This list features main meals, side dishes, easy snacks, and even some sweet treats, so you won't have to worry about not having enough recipes for the trip. (And yes, there are several delicious s'mores recipes on this list!) The dishes offered here are easy to make, because we know the last thing you want to do after running around all day is spend a ton of time making meals for everyone. Also, many of these dishes can be taken on the go—especially the foil pack recipes—which is ideal for those long hikes that you'll be taking. Your camping trip is going to be so much more delicious thanks to these ideas.
QUICK TIP - How To Seal Foil Packs
You can make popcorn over a campfire, if you would like to try that, use the easy to follow recipe below.
I know it’s such a VERY SIMPLE thing: Stovetop or CampFire POPPED Popcorn, but sometimes we need a little reminder how FUN and EASY it is to make snacks at home!
My kids ABSOLUTELY LOVE it when I take a few minutes to make a special stovetop batch of popcorn for movie night…even more special throughout the holidays!
This is an EXCELLENT snack idea for older children, & growing teens (like my 6) because they really love it, it’s economical, and REALLY EASY!

I prefer a 50/50 mix of white and yellow kernels from Jolly Time found at your local grocers or Rural Route 1 brand online.
Rural Route 1 White - The healthy snacking choice! Famous for its authentic corn taste, crisp whiteness, & tender texture, white is generally favored by true popcorn connoisseurs. Naturally high in fiber and low in calories!
Rural Route 1 Yellow - The healthy snacking choice! Plump, tender kernels bursting with real corn flavor is what makes yellow popcorn the most popular variety. Naturally high in fiber and low in calories!

Toasting marshmallows or wrapping some spuds in foil and pushing them into the coals is about as creative and daring as a lot of us get when it comes to open fire cooking. The fear of turning a premium steak into ash is too great.
But there is something amazing about cooking on an open fire. The smells and flavours are different, the experience is more ‘back to nature’ and the end result more satisfying when you build your own fire, work at keeping it alive and finish with a beautifully cooked meal among good company.
Whether you’re camping in the great outdoors or building a fire pit in the backyard, we’ll take you back to basics and give you the best advice on cooking your steak on an open fire.

Summertime means it’s time for camping, hiking, and backpacking trips. Some of the best camping memories involve munching on a crisp apple around the campfire as the rest of the food cooks.
Unless you’re camping in an RV, cooler space is limited. If you’re backpacking, you have no cooler. That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. Some fruits and vegetables will keep for three to five days without any refrigeration, so you can save the ice and cooler space for those foods that demand refrigeration.
