Camp cooking is one of my favourite parts of a camping trip with the family. There is something about eating outside that makes even simple food taste incredible. In this section you will find family-friendly camping recipes that actually work on a camp stove or over a fire, with minimal kit and maximum flavour. If you are still sorting your camp kitchen setup, have a look at our family camping equipment reviews first.
Easy Camping Meals for Families
The best camping food is simple, satisfying and easy to prepare with limited equipment. One-pot meals, foil packet recipes and campfire classics are the backbone of good camp cooking. We focus on recipes that use ingredients you can easily find and transport, minimise washing up, and keep even the fussiest eaters happy. Whether you are cooking on a two-ring stove or over an open fire, you will find plenty of ideas here.
Campfire Cooking with Kids
Getting children involved in cooking at the campsite is one of the great joys of family camping. From toasting marshmallows and making s’mores to cooking simple meals over the fire, kids who cook their own food tend to eat it with a lot more enthusiasm. We share recipes and ideas that children can get involved with safely, making mealtimes part of the adventure rather than a chore.
Camping Breakfast and Snack Ideas
A good camping breakfast sets the tone for the whole day. Whether you prefer a full cooked breakfast on the camp stove or something quick and easy before heading out on a walk, we have you covered. We also look at the best camping snacks to keep children fuelled between meals, including ideas that travel well, do not need refrigerating, and can be prepared ahead of time to make camp life easier.
