23 Easy Camping Food Ideas
1. Hobo Ham and Egg Combo![23 Best Camping Recipes Ham Egg and Cheese Sandwich for Breakfast-camping recipes](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Ham-Egg-and-Cheese-Sandwich-for-Breakfast-camping-recipes-ss.jpg)
No camping would be complete without the ubiquitous ham and eggs partnership. However, this tandem could get a bit boring, isn’t it? Good thing we found a way to jazz this old recipe up.
You just need to chop those leftover hams then sauté on garlic and onion. After a couple of minutes, pour in a cup of beaten eggs then add some salt and pepper. Let it fry until cooked and you have a meal even Jack Kerouac would hitchhike for.
2. S'mOreos
This is a cool twist on the immortal s’mores. But instead of the same old same old, this one involves some Nutella for that extra oomph factor. All you need to do is slather that chocolate richness in between crunchy graham crackers and you’re all set
3. Bread a la Scrambled Egg![23 Best Camping Recipes Delicious tourist breakfast on the camping.

Craving for camping food on a budget? No problem. Get some leftover scrambled egg and yesterday’s bread. Toast the bread, reheat the egg, mix them all, and voila!
4. Sausage-Potato Ensemble![23 Best Camping Recipes sausages fried at the stake with potatoes. delicious camping lunch-classic camping food](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sausages-fried-at-the-stake-with-potatoes.-delicious-camping-lunch-classic-camping-food-ss.jpg)
If you want something smoky, savory, and healthy, this one is for you. Chop some sausages and potatoes, wrap them in foil, and cook it on an open fire. The smokiness and juiciness of this simple meal will make you forget about going home.
5. Granola Trail Remix![23 Best Camping Recipes Top view of granola on dark background in a jar with spoon-camping food on a budget](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Top-view-of-granola-on-dark-background-in-a-jar-with-spoon-camping-food-on-a-budget-ss.jpg)
Think of this meal as if you are doing a freestyle dance mix a la Questlove of The Roots. Get some corn chips, pieces of crumbled cookies, marshmallows, and anything edible and tasty from your rucksack. Of course, the mix wouldn’t be complete without the groovy granola.
6. Sausages and Vegetable Fiesta![23 Best Camping Recipes Outdoor shot of three friends enjoying barbecue party, grilling sausage, burgers and vegetable skewers-camping food hacks](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Outdoor-shot-of-three-friends-enjoying-barbecue-party-grilling-sausage-burgers-and-vegetable-skewers-camping-food-hacks-ss.jpg)
This is similar to the savory sausage-potato ensemble. Only this time we will be using some vegetables. Celery, turnip, squash, pumpkin, tomato… wait, is tomato a vegetable? Whatever. As long as it tastes good.
7. Campfire Cinnamon Twist and Scout![23 Best Camping Recipes Cinnamon twisted loaf bread or babka on a dark wooden background-healthy camping meals](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Cinnamon-twisted-loaf-bread-or-babka-on-a-dark-wooden-background-healthy-camping-meals-ss.jpg)
Need some energy to get through the day in the wild? This recipe will no doubt give you that much-needed zest. Just wrap cinnamons around skewers, warm it over the fire, brush with a healthy serving of butter, and sprinkle with some sugar. Wham!
8. Banana-Peanut Butter Blast![23 Best Camping Recipes Peanut butter and banana sandwich typical Australian camping meal-traditional camping food](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Peanut-butter-and-banana-sandwich-typical-Australian-camping-meal-traditional-camping-food-ss.jpg)
Banana is nice. But with some finger-lickin' peanut butter, it’s nicer. Slit your banana’s lengthwise then slather a good serving of peanut butter. You can sprinkle a bit of fine salt on the top to add some flavor contrast.
9. Blues Man Soup![23 Best Camping Recipes mushroom soup-camping food on a budget](https://survivallife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/mushroom-soup-camping-food-on-a-budget-ss.jpg)
You can sing the blues better when you taste this classic camping food with a spicy twist. Open a can of mushroom or tomato soup and cook directly in an open fire.

Canned clam chowder is boring but with a bit of imagination, you put a Kung Fu kick on this rather humdrum processed meal. Boil your chowder with some onions and chopped vegetables. Pour in two packs of instant ramen along with a bit of seasoning to taste.

Sick and tired of eating meat? You can put a little variety on your camp diet by dining on seafood of the canned variety. But first, you need to toast your bread over the fire. Be careful not to burn it. Once cooked, top it with canned sardines.
