If you’re headed to the great outdoors for a camping trip, it’s important to remember that not all campsites offer restaurants and grocery stores. This means that you’ll have to pack your food and cooking supplies, which can be especially tricky if you’re not used to preparing meals outdoors (or at all).
Luckily for us, some items are easy to transport and require no preparation time once you get there. These items will help keep your stomach from rumbling while allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of camping. So what kinds of things can we eat while camping?
Cookies
Another good food to make when camping is cookies. Cookies are delicious treats, but they are also easy to make and store in a ziploc bag. You can even take them out of their packaging and give them out as gifts!
There are many different kinds of cookies you can make while camping—chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter—endless possibilities! Ensure you have some cooling devices that don’t spoil after baking them.
Hot Dogs And Hamburgers
If you’re the type who likes to cook or have a lot of time cooking, then hot dogs and hamburgers are easy to make on the go. Hot dogs can be cooked directly over a fire (or grill), and hamburgers can be made with a portable stove top if you have one. Just make sure that your meat is thoroughly cooked before eating it.
Also, if you are traveling with perishable food items such as meat or dairy products from your home fridge, keep them cold until they are ready for consumption—you don’t want them spoiling once out in nature!
Fish
First, you’ll need a fishing pole (or have access to one) and some bait. Then, if you’re camping with a group of people, consider going in on a few rods—it’s cheaper than buying multiple ones and can make your trip more fun if everyone is involved.
Once you’ve got all your supplies together, try camping out by the lake or river nearest to where you’re staying. Fish are easier to catch at night because they’re slower and less alert than during the day; they also tend to be more active after storms, so if there has been any rain recently in the area where you’ll be fishing, it could help attract them even more effectively.
After catching your fish (and making sure not to let go), take it out of its container using tongs or gloves before removing any scales with pliers or tweezers (be careful not to cut yourself). Once this step is complete, gutting involves cutting open its belly along its backbone; once appropriately done, rinse off any remaining blood with cold water before cooking it over an open flame like an outdoor grill or campfire pit!
Potatoes
Potatoes are a great camping food because they’re easy to store and prepare and are a good source of carbohydrates. You can boil or bake them in foil packets or fry them straight on the fire. They can be eaten alongside eggs and bacon with no problem.
Conclusion
We hope we’ve helped you figure out what to eat while camping. Remember, there is no one correct answer for what should be on your menu, but it’s always good to have a plan of attack and keep things simple. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to enjoy your trip without worrying about how much food you’ll need or whether it will spoil before it gets eaten!
