I remember camping when I was younger. I did this as a Girl Scout and with friends. My  family wasn’t too big into it, but at the lake where we vacationed summer after summer,  there was one family who rented the other cottage. They were big campers and they would use  the fire pit at the lake to have good old camping food. Here  are some of the things that we always looked forward to.

The first thing that everyone needs to add to their camping grocery list for camp food is  the three things everyone needs in order to make s’mores. Everyone loves this delicious  treat. All you need then are marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate bars.

Something we loved to have also while we camped was popcorn. You listen to ghost stories and  as you are entranced by the story teller you are eating popcorn that was popped in aluminum  foil. It’s also nice in having the pokers that you can place things like hotdogs and marshmallows  on to roast are beneficial as well. Make sure that they extend so that you aren’t burning  yourself.

Since you wont’ have access to a refrigerator or one would assume you need to have  dehydrated products. Who said you had to give up your favorite meals? Of course you can do grilled corn on the cob. Again, wrap it in foil paper and you can have  the best corn on the cob for camping food. Add a few ingredients. You’ll love it.

Trail mix is something else that we love to have as a snack when you do a full blown camping  event. The reason this is so great is all you need to do is add a few ingredients, put them  in a plastic bag, and you are good to go. This is great when you are hiking as it’s packaged  and you can pull it out at any time.

Last, but not least, you need to bring pots and pans. Now, you can’t put this over the  campfire, but they do have portable stoves that you can get. This will allow you to boil  water easily and more. So if you are looking to improve your camping experience and have  great camping food this is how.

Get with the program. Sure camping is supposed to be old fashioned, but who says you can’t  get cool cooking toys? Give them the meals they deserve and you could have a grand old time.  Here’s to camping food and the stuff you love to make!
