Camping Recipes and Food Ideas

As you plan ahead, think about whether you are taking a camp stove, on a grill, or cooking over the campfire. Also, think about what size of cooler you will have and how many days you will be gone.

Those things will help you choose the most well-suited foods for your camping trip and which cooking utensils you need to take along.
