5 camping recipes you'll want to make all summer long

Upgrade your next camping trip with these easy camping recipes, from breakfast burritos to walking tacos and irresistible campfire desserts

Camping food has a reputation for being simple, but simple doesn’t have to mean boring. Some of the best meals of the summer happen outdoors, cooked over a campfire, grill or portable stove with a little creativity and a lot of fresh air. There’s something uniquely satisfying about eating breakfast at a picnic table, pulling a foil packet off the fire or sharing dessert under the stars.

Good camping recipes also solve a practical problem: they’re designed to be easy to prep, easy to cook and easy to clean up. Many can be made ahead of time, packed in a cooler and finished at the campsite, which means less time washing dishes and more time enjoying the outdoors. Foil-packet meals, make-ahead breakfasts and no-bake snacks are especially popular because they travel well and don’t require a full kitchen.

According to Reader’s Digest, Taste of Home rounded up favorite camping recipes that have become go-to meals for generations of campers. The collection includes hearty breakfasts, easy dinners and classic campfire treats that work whether you’re tent camping, RV camping or spending a weekend at a cabin.
