Camping Recipes

Not long ago my wife, Marlen, and me were searching the internet for camping recipes. You see, we love to go camping and Marlen is a great cook at home but our camp meals are a bit boring. Eggs and bacon or sausage every day for breakfast and hamburgers and hot dogs for every other meal. Oh and sometimes grilled fish, if I catch any. But I digress; we easily found hundreds of recipes and several camping recipe books. This is what we learned:

 

1. The recipe sites we visited had a lot of recipes but it was difficult to locate the type of meals we liked. Also for many of the recipes we were not sure what to cook them in. Several were for a Dutch Oven but they didn’t really tell you that.
2. There are quite a few recipe books with anywhere from 200 to 700 recipes with prices from $5 to $20. All with pretty much the sales page.

 

We decided to buy one of the recipe books. I paid $17 for the ‘”The Ultimate Campfire Kitchen”. It has 580 recipes for camping but that wasn’t the main reason I bought it. Camp cooking can be difficult if you don’t have the correct equipment. In fact camping can be difficult if you aren’t prepared and this book promised to teach you everything you needed to know to make your camping trip a fun one.

 

To give you an idea of what is in it here are the first three chapters:
1. Planning ahead for your camping trip
2. Making sure you have the right equipment
3. How to select the right campsite You can see the full table of contents here.

 

Now I am an experienced camper and a lot of the information given I already know but this would be an excellent guide for the novice and intermediate camper. Their advice and direction is sound and will help you avoid many of the mistakes I had to learn the hard way. As for the camping recipes, I had the best meals I have ever had on a camping trip. If you are looking for camp recipes this is a good book. If you are looking for camp recipes and a guide to making your camping trip a great vacation this is a great buy at $17.
