Welcome to camping season! I’m an outdoorsy girl and love to camp. Back in those pre-kid days, we used to go every summer! And I mean camping—in a tent, in the woods, with a fire pit. One of my favorite memories is camping in the mountains of Colorado while visiting my brother and waking up to a light snowfall! We survived that trip on a giant can of beans, haha. Campfire cooking is the best. Plan your meals, fill your cooler, and start the fire! Here are some great campfire cooking recipes to get you started:
Check out 21 Campfire Cooking Recipes
by Emily Dickey at Foodie.com
In my Campfire Cooking collection over at foodie.com, there’s everything from snacks and dips to breakfasts and dinners. Full and fancy meals or campfire cooking basics (you can’t go wrong with a hot dog and beans)! Make it easy with tinfoil boats or bring your own pans. Cook over a fire or use a grill. Check your campsite before you go to see what’s available! We have our own mini camping grill we can bring with us when the campsite is remote enough to not offer any.
What’s your favorite campfire cooking recipe?

What’s a campfire without S’Mores?!?! We make ours with a touch of peanut butter!

Ohhhh, that sounds delicious! I can’t believe I’ve never tried that!

We don’t camp, but occasionally we have small fires in the backyard and s’mores are a staple for us.

Backyard camping! 🙂 S’mores are definitely a must.

I’m a huge camp fan! We go for a full week every July with my extended family! So this is going to come in really handy as we meal plan!

This is such a great round up. I shared with a few girl scout leaders and friends who camp. Thank you so much for sharing. Round ups make it so easy to have great information in one spot!

I like to cook but I have to admit I am not super imaginative in the kitchen or around the campfire so this post inspired me to no end!!! I love that a lot of the dishes were made using cast iron as well. I always take that when I go camping. I love the breakfast foods….I am not sure why but breakfast cooked over a campfire (and in cast iron) is just THE BEST! Thank you for the inspiration 🙂

I agree, breakfast over the fire is the best – and it works for any time of day!

The potato boat and the grilled sweet corn look really good! I had never thought of making potatoes on the grill.
[Reply]
Sweet! Perfect time to see your round up, we have been camping for the last 3 weekends and going again this weekend and I’m running out of ideas! Thank you!

Oh how fun! I can’t wait to go this summer!
[Reply]
I always try to plan simple meals for camping. I like one dish ones like the potato hash
[Reply]
We don’t really have campfires, but we have family bonfires every so often and some of these would be perfect for then!
[Reply]
I enjoy attending bonfires but can’t say I’ve done much cooking on one. Does smores count? 😉
[Reply]
We love fajitas in the Disco that my husband made. Perks of living on the farm we have plenty of discs around and it makes it easy to have fajitas and stir fry while camping.
[Reply]
The Red Potato hash looks amazing! I would try making something like that indoors. I’m embarassed to say that I’ve never been camping (unless you count Girl Scouts and 6th grade camp). Both camps had cabins too!
[Reply]
When I think of campfires smores is the only thing that comes to mind, but I guess if you are really camping you need real food too, HA! Great list.
[Reply]
I have never been camping before and am probably too scared to do so…Im so not outdoorsy!
[Reply]
My Husband is a Park Ranger so these recipes are perfect. He loves spending the summer cooking outside.
[Reply]
What fantastic looking campfire recipes! That campfire flavor (much like on the grill flavor) definitely adds and enhances the food’s tastes.
[Reply]
oh, i spy grilled corn. one of my all time fave grill/bbq/campfire foods!! YUM
[Reply]
I’m pretty sure it will forever be S’mores for me. That was my first camp food so it’s always gonna be a fave.
[Reply]
We go camping a lot in the summer and I am always looking for new recipes to take along.
[Reply]
We haven’t gone camping yet. But if and when we do it would be great to try some of these recipes.
[Reply]
We love to go camping! I love these recipe ideas, and the thought of even backyard camping!!
[Reply]
What a great recipe roundup. Lots of good ideas to have for when we go camping this summer.
