19 Simple Camping Lunch Ideas – Easy & Delicious Recipes

Anja and I have been camping since we met eleven years ago, and our first campouts were about bringing water, energy bars, nuts, dates, and fruits. We were lazy and didn’t want to spend time cooking outdoors.

But today, we understand the importance of camping food from physiological and sociological aspects.

Campfire cooking makes camping more magical and brings people together simultaneously.

The most important thing we learned along the way is that you should be able to maintain flavor and quality even if you’re cooking outdoors!

For us, camping lunch needs to be easy to make! If possible, no cook. Most recipes here will be speedy and easy, while some require equipment, such as a cast iron pan and camp stove.

After years of camping and countless adventures, we’ve narrowed down this list of best camping lunch ideas that are our go-to’s for camping when we need something easy-to-make with minimal cleanup.

Here are some kitchen essentials to consider packing for your trip:

• Stove: A stove is essential for cooking while camping. Choose a stove appropriate for your needs, such as a propane stove for car camping or a compact, lightweight stove for backpacking.

• Pots and pans: Pack pots and pans suitable for your cooking needs. If you plan on cooking over a fire, consider packing a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.

• Utensils: Pack a variety of utensils such as spoons, forks, knives, spatulas, and tongs to help with meal prep and cooking.

• Cooler: A cooler is essential for storing perishable items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, tofu, and yogurt. Make sure to pack your cooler with plenty of ice or ice packs to keep the food at a safe temperature.

• Water bottles or hydration system: Ensure to pack plenty of water bottles or a hydration system to stay hydrated while camping.

• Dishwashing supplies: Pack dishwashing supplies such as dish soap, scrub brushes, and a towel to help clean up after meals.

If you want to spend less time meal planning and more time enjoying your adventures, keep these camping lunch ideas bookmarked.

14. Chicken Parmesan Wrap

Ingredients

• 3 cups roughly shredded, cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see note)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (make sure yours is a salt-free blend)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
• 4 Flatout flatbreads
• 1 cup shredded, reduced-fat Italian cheese blend
• additional marinara sauce, warmed for dipping if desired

Directions

1. Place shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to combine.
2. Add marinara sauce and basil to the chicken mixture, and stir to combine again.
3. Optional: If you want your filling piping hot, microwave the chicken mixture for about 60-90 seconds. (Even if you skip this, your filling should still be pleasantly heated after the wraps are seared in the skillet in step 7. If you are prepping these as make-ahead, skip this optional step.)
4. Lay one flatbread on a work surface, and sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese down the center, leaving a large border all around the cheese. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture (about a 1/2 cup) on the cheese.
5. Fold the short ends of the flatbread inward toward the middle, then fold the long sides of the flatbread inward toward the center, making a closed wrap.
6. Repeat with the remaining 3 flatbreads, evenly dividing the remaining cheese and the remaining chicken mixture.
7. Preheat a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once preheated, add the wraps and cook on the first side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 – 2 minutes. Flip the wraps and cook on the second side until golden, about another 1 1/2 minutes.
8. Serve with an additional marinara sauce for dipping.

Note

Chicken

Store-bought rotisserie chicken is a quick and easy option. Nearly any boneless, skinless chicken breasts will work in this recipe, as long as they’re not overly flavorful from spices or marinades. You can plan on cooking a couple of extra chicken breasts whenever you’re making chicken, so you have extra cooked chicken for this recipe without any additional work.

Make-ahead options

1. As detailed in the post, you can mix the chicken filling up to a day ahead (although it’s best, if possible, to wait until the last minute to chop and stir in the basil). Store the filling, covered, in the refrigerator until continuing.
2. You can also go further in the process and add the prepared chicken mixture and the cheese to the flatbreads. Then, fold the wraps and store them individually in the refrigerator for about a day before searing and serving.
3. Lastly, you can make these entirely, including searing them in the skillet and then storing them individually in the refrigerator (for up to about two days) or the freezer (for a couple of months). Briefly reheat in the microwave before serving.

15. Grilled Gyro Kebabs

Ingredients

• ½ pound lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 oz halloumi
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons oil
• salt, to taste
• 4 flatbreads or large pitas

Marinade

• juice of 1/2 lemon (about two tablespoons)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced

Lemon Yogurt Sauce

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• juice of 1/2 lemon, *
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

At home (or at least one hour before dinner)

• Stir together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the lamb in a large zip-top bag or resealable container and pour in the marinade, ensuring the meat is completely coated. Meat should marinate for at least an hour and up to 48 hours.

At camp

1. Fire up your grill or get your campfire going. You’ll be cooking the kebabs over medium-high to high heat.
2. Build your skewers by threading the lamb, tomatoes, and halloumi on their skewers. Brush the tomato and cheese skewers with oil, and season the lamb skewers with salt.
3. Once the grill has reached medium-high heat, place all the skewers on the grate. Grill, often turning, until the lamb has cooked through (about 10 minutes), the tomatoes are soft and beginning to blister (about 4 minutes), the halloumi is soft, and grill marks form (about 3 minutes on each side). Heat the flatbreads over the grill until warm.

*If you’d like, grill the lemon half until it begins to brown and caramelize before juicing for the marinade.

4. In the meantime, make the yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
5. Build your gyros by spreading sauce on each flatbread and topping it with lamb, tomatoes, and halloumi.

16. Garlic Lovers Salmon In Foil

Ingredients

• 2-pound side of salmon, boneless and skinless
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 8 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice, plus extra lemon wedges for serving
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley*
• 1/4 cup thinly-sliced green onions

Directions

1. Heat a grill to medium heat.
2. Line a large baking dish with a large piece of aluminum foil.
3. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. (You want the garlic to be partly- but not fully-cooked.)  Remove from heat and stir in the white wine and lemon juice.
4. Lay the salmon out on the foil. Using a pastry brush, brush a tablespoon of the butter mixture on the foil until it is evenly covered. Then, brush the remaining butter-garlic mix on top of the salmon until it evenly covers it.  Season the salmon evenly with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
5. Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. (If your sheet of foil is not large enough, place the second sheet on top and fold the edges to form a sealed packet.
6. To Cook On The Grill: Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill for 12-14 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so I recommend checking it a few minutes early if you have a thinner cut of salmon.) Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, it will release lots of hot steam!) Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the top of the salmon and the garlic are slightly golden and the fish is cooked through.
7. Remove salmon from the grill.  Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley and green onions, and serve immediately.

17. Pie Iron Pizza Calzone

Ingredients

• Pre-Made Pizza Crust Dough
• Hunt’s Pizza Sauce
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Can of Diced Tomatoes
• Pepperoni

Directions

1. Start by lining your pie iron with a healthy cooking spray to ensure you can get your calzone out of it when it’s done (we use olive oil for all of our cast iron pie irons).
2. Line both sides of the pie iron with your pizza dough. Remember that the dough will rise quite a bit, so make sure to put it in a manageable amount, I did about 1/8 thick or less, and it rose perfectly.
3. Place your ingredients on only one side of the iron, such as the sauce, pepperonis, and cheese. Remember to place one side of the iron down onto the other, as you don’t want your food falling out.
4. Lock up your pie iron over a low-flame coal bed in your fire pit. I lay mine directly in the coals.
5. Flip the iron often and take it out of the coals for a few minutes to ensure you don’t develop hot spots in the pie iron and burn your crust.
6. I like to cook mine to a golden brown, like a marsh mellow. Cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on your fire. Check often; after about 3-4 minutes, you should be able to crack the iron open to check on the calzone.
