easy camping meals

When you think of grilling or cooking over a camp stove or campfire, the first thing that probably comes to mind is hamburgers and hotdogs, but there are so many other tasty and easy camping meals to try.

I love grilled veggies, and grilled fruit is delicious too. Foil packet meals are an easy way to prepare a complete meal when you’re camping, and kids especially love them. And, let’s not forget desserts. Yes, besides s’mores, there are other delicious desserts you can make over the campfire or on the grill.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite grilling and campfire recipes for you to enjoy on your next camping trip or cookout–from complete meals to side dishes to desserts. I know you’ll find several you’ll want to try.
