Meals For 4 To Make Your Camping Trip A Success

I’ve designed a meal plan for when you go on a camping trip! Most camping trips don’t last a whole week so this meal plan is designed for 3 full days of camping which is most likely more than you will need. This plan is designed to feed 4 people. I am assuming you need to purchase all ingredients including condiments. I have included a list of tools you will need to bring with you.

Tools

  • Heavy duty foil– heavy duty is best so it wont rip
  • Frying pan– any frying pan will work, but cast iron is great for over fires
  • Pot– this is just for boiling water
  • Spatula– something to stir the hash
  • Skewers– these are great because they’re retractable, if you don’t want to buy anything, you can use a stick
  • Knife– to cut vegetables, a set with sheath’s is great for camping
  • Cutting board– to cut vegetables on
  • Cooler– to keep eggs, meats, and condiments cold
