21+ Easy Camping Meals To Take Your Family Adventure To The Next Level

Anja and I have been camping since we met 11 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 actually 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!

After years of camping and countless adventures, we’ve narrowed down this list of 21 delicious recipes that are our go-to’s – easy camping meals when we need something tasty.

From classic favorites like stew and soups to more creative options like campfire nachos and foil packet meals, these easy camping recipes will satisfy your hunger and fuel your outdoor adventures. 

So, whether camping with family, friends, or on your own, let’s dive into some delicious and easy camping meal ideas to make your next camping trip successful.

But, before we start, here are some kitchen essentials you might need and should consider packing for your trip:

• Stove: Choose a stove appropriate for your needs, such as a propane stove for car camping or a compact, lightweight stove for backpacking. If you’re unsure which is the best for your needs, check this article.

Have you ever been camping if you haven’t made cinnamon rolls?

Here’s a recipe to make it in less than 30 minutes. 

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large egg

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. The dough:

You need to make the dough first. Mix the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

• In a small saucepan, warm the milk, water, and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients, and stir until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Adding filling to the dough:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl for the filling.
• Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter.
• Roll up the dough tightly from the long edge, and pinch the seam to seal it.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 1-inch thick rolls. After that, your cinnamon rolls are ready to be baked: place them into a greased cast iron skillet or dutch oven.
• Let the rolls rise for 30-60 minutes.

Once the rolls have risen, place the skillet over a campfire or camp stove and bake them for 20-25 minutes until they have a nice, golden color.

Join the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze and drizzle it over the warm cinnamon rolls.

• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons butter

2. Alternatively, melt the butter in a large skillet over a campfire or camp stove.
