What do you eat when you go camping? Now you have 20 fun, yummy, and innovative camping recipes. From lunch to dinner and even dessert, we’ve got you covered.
The Most Innovative Camping Recipes
It’s easy to get stuck in the hamburgers and hotdogs run when you go camping. But there are so many other fantastic ideas out there.
While the weather is amazing, get out there and go camping. You can make a meal, build a fire, then go home and sleep in your bed. The most important thing is to make some memories together.
Don’t forget to print off a camping checklist so you don’t forget anything!
1. Taco In A Bag
I’ve heard this called a walking taco before. The cleanup is a breeze. You put all your favorite taco toppings in a snack-size bag of tortilla chips or Fritos.
Find it on Merry About Town.
2. Shrimp Macaroni Salad
This is one you will want to make at home and bring to the campsite. I love a cold pasta salad when it’s hot outside. It’s so refreshing.
Find it on Bunny’s Warm Oven.
3. Hot Dog on a Stick
Anything that makes cleanup at the campsite easier is a win! You can make these right over the fire and they taste like pigs in a blanket right from home.
