Packing food

Don't make this part of your camping experience stressful. This is easy, don't overthink.

I would suggest simple meals, not stuff that requires a ton of ingredients.

Here are some great suggestions.....

Breakfast:
Packaged Donuts - quick and easy to grab in the morning and not wake everyone up
Bacon and Eggs - cook them outside, easy cleanup
Cereal - one of the easiest breakfast solutions of all times (especially with kids)

Lunch/Dinner:
Sandwiches - keep it simple people we are camping....pack bologna and cheese, we don't need to go to the extreme of lettuce and tomatoes
Hot Dogs/Hamburgers - Easy on the grill and a quick easy cleanup, recommend the pre-patty burgers
Spaghetti - So simple....can of sauce and some noodles

A great side item is instant mash potatoes - boil water and mix......too easy

Snacks:
Smores - an absolute must....what's camping without them?
Pringles - easy to keep fresh, and can be used as a side with lunch or as a snack
Jiffy Pop - fun on the fire
Individual snack cans - again easy to keep fresh, and covered from creatures

Again try to pick simple meals, don't try to prepare a 3 course meals for dinner when you are camping...if you are doing that, you barely can pack one day's worth of food in that tiny little fridge.

  2. My family loves to camp but they always use camp grounds with a grill or something. The next time we go im going to request that we dont get one of these because I wanna try to cook over an open fire.
