Camping Snacks

Not all camping food has to be consumed as a large meal. Looking for creative no-cook, prepare-ahead, or campfire-friendly ways to create the ultimate healthy camping snacks? You’ll be a rock star in your own kitchen with these, which we have!

Following are the best Camping Snacks that you can cook on your camp stove, so you can enjoy them on your next camping trip!

Sweet Onion Salsa

For salsa, using fresh, high-quality ingredients is crucial. It’s one of our personal favourite snacks and makes the ideal starter for Mexican dinners. 

Granola Bars

You’ll need great snacks that will give you lots of energy without weighing you down while camping, long day of hiking, and engaging in all those other thrilling but physically demanding outdoor activities.

These granola bars with just five simple ingredients are perfect for that.

They include dates, maple syrup, natural peanut (or almond) butter, roasted almonds, and rolled oats until you add the optional additions (chocolate, vanilla, dried fruit, nuts, etc.).

You can prepare 10 of these in 15 minutes, and they are raw, healthful, and freshly made.

The best part is that they are salty and nutty to appeal to the whole family.

Fresh Guacamole Appetizer Snack

It is quite good camping snack to provide no-cook throughout the summer. We also provide whole no-cook camping dinners if that’s what you’re looking for. You’ll scoop up a mixture of avocado, tomato, jalapeño pepper, garlic, onions, and cilantro with tortilla chips. This homemade guacamole recipe does not require refrigeration until after the ingredients have been diced.

Trail Mix

Most hiking & camping trips need trail mix, readily available at any supermarket or convenience shop in various flavours.

However, by making your lets, you design a blend tailored to your preferences while saving money.

These three suggestions are great places to start if you’re unclear about what to contribute.

Spiced Up Mixed Nuts

For camping, it’s a good idea to pack a few non-refrigerated snacks, like these spiced nuts. Toasting nuts is simple when done in aluminium foil packages. They are mixed with a little chilli powder, cumin, honey, and olive oil for a little spicy and sweet combo.

Apple Chips

Dried apple chips are a sweet, delectable, and energizing way to revive your dwindling energy on a long hike.

Making them has never been simpler if you have an air fryer.

Add cinnamon and salt to the cut apples. Slices that are thin and crunchy will be ready in under 30 minutes.

Fruit Tossed in Honey Mint Syrup

Fruit salads require a little more preparation time than whole fruit pieces. They can be prepared in advance and served on sweltering summer days. Cube your preferred fresh fruit and combine it with a syrup made of honey, the mint that has just been picked, orange, lime, lemon zests and juices.

Have kids who would choose to consume fresh fruit over a candy bar with no nutritional value? Making fruit chunks into a tasty snack is a great way to get kids to eat it!

Alabama Fire Crackers

You’ll adore Alabama firecrackers if you enjoy hot, garlicky, and well-seasoned foods.

A sleeve of saltine crackers, some olive oil, and a ton of basic spices are all you need.

The following day, bake the crackers after letting them bake overnight in the oil and spice mixture.

Each bite packs a punch of flavour and moderate heat.

You can also have Graham Crackers if you don’t like Alabama Crackers.

Fruit & Nut Peanut Butter Tortillas

This protein-rich, healthy stuffed tortilla works well for breakfast, lunch, or dessert and makes a great snack. I like to place these in small foil packages and use them as trail snacks. Natural sugar satisfies your sweet tooth, while the calories, carbohydrates, and healthy fats give you the energy you need for a long day of hiking.

Cowboy Cookies

Anyone who likes baking sweet cookies with crisp edges and soft, delicate inside should try this recipe.

You’ll use rolled oats in these cookies and the usual components, such as flour, sugar, and so forth.

Each cookie’s centre is soft, buttery, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips while the oats crisp up beautifully around the edges.

Blueberry Lemon Dutch Muffins

Munching on muffins that cause you to lick your fingers indicates that they are VERY DELICIOUS SNACK! These blueberry muffins have a simple glaze on top and are also one of our dessert recipes for camping.

Homemade Potato Chips

The world’s greatest potato chips are those cooked at home. And cooking them is much fun.

If somebody objects, they either haven’t had them or don’t know how to prepare them properly.

How you slice and season them is key. For each chip, the slices must be very thin and homogeneous. 

You may experiment with seasonings to find one that matches your preferences, but for me, it’s salt, garlic powder, and a smidgen of cayenne pepper.

These chips are crispy, garlicky, and somewhat hot. They are the ideal potato chip.

Dutch Oven Jalapeno Cornbread

The fun snacks are those made in a Dutch oven since they can eat them on their own or with one of our camping meal dishes, such as campfire chilli. After spending a hard day in the great outdoors, you’ll have a treat when you return to camp if you make a double batch of this cornbread. You’ll feel pleased if you top a piece with some butter or honey.

Texas Trash

Texas trash may seem like the name of a hard-core, all-female pop-punk band, but it refers to homemade Chex Mix.

Pretzels, almonds, Chex, and other familiar Chex Mix ingredients are included, along with Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces, cayenne pepper, butter, and three types of salt: ordinary, garlic, and celery.

This mixture is very zesty, salty, and herbaceous. If I had to compare, I’d say Chex Mix Bold Party Blend is the closest.

Dutch Oven Cornbread

Do you favour cornbread with more traditional flavours? Try this simple recipe, which uses canned cream-style corn and cornmeal.

Camp Cooking Tip

Creating two batches of food staples for your next camping trip is a great idea. Intentionally cooking too much food implies you’ll have leftovers prepared for them while building your camping food list. Cornbread is the ideal accompaniment to the main entrée on night one. Use the leftovers as breakfast or dessert the following day by adding a little sweet jam, honey or simple icing.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

My heart goes out to you if you’ve never stayed at a DoubleTree Hotel and enjoyed biting into a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie after checking in.

Fortunately, thanks to this copycat recipe, you can enjoy that sweet deliciousness whenever you want without ever leaving your home.

Everything about these cookies is soft and sweet, except for the finely chopped walnuts, which bring a delightful crunch and nuttiness.

Campfire S’mores Snacks

It’s great to make s’mores with graham crackers, chocolate bars, and roasted marshmallows, but occasionally you want to switch good things up. 

Dutch Oven Brownies

Some people believe that roasting mini marshmallows while camping is the best activity. Others could forego the whole thing. Dutch oven brownies are one of the most popular camping snacks. You must include this in your sleeping bag.

Homemade Beanie Weenies

Making this campfire favourite is a family affair. Sliced hot dogs and canned beans are combined with your preferred seasonings. Many individuals like tangy barbecue sauce, or they will create their own by adding some brown sugar, ketchup, or tomato sauce. Use fireproof pots each time you warm up with best camping meals over an open fire.

Campfire Cons

Making and eating this kid-friendly delicacy is enjoyable! Put your preferred first ingredients into a sugar cone, cover it in aluminium foil, and warm it over campfire flames. Fresh strawberries, banana slices, milk chocolate chips, and small marshmallows are a few of my preferred filling choices.

Bean Dip Burritos 

Open a can of bean dip, spread a few tablespoons of it on a tortilla, top it with some cheddar cheese, roll it up, cover it with foil, and toast it over a campfire. It’s a creative take on simple munchies you could often get from a drive-through for fast food!

Walking Tacos

Instead of taco shells, you can create these walking tacos by topping a bag of corn chips (such as Fritos) with the usual taco toppings. They are eaten straight from the bag with a fork!

No-Bake Energy Bites

Energy bites are one of the most well-liked healthy snacks. These energy bites are baked-free and contain ginger and turmeric.

Slow Mixer Chex Mix

Making dry cereal mixes at home or on a camping trip makes for a tasty snack. In a slow cooker, this Chex Mix is prepared!

Banana Wrap

can prepare these filling, healthy banana wraps before leaving the house.

Because they only need three ingredients and don’t require cooking, they make a great camping snack.

Spread your tortilla with the nut butter of your choice (peanut, almond, Nutella, etc.), add your banana, roll it up, and cut it in half.

Caramel Corn

You can’t truly appreciate the snack until you’ve had homemade caramel corn. It’s a sticky, crunchy, syrupy less mess, but it’s amazing.

Furthermore, it has a complex flavour profile for such a basic food.

Each bite always offers something new to discover thanks to the ingredients, including butter, cayenne pepper, corn syrup, salt, and vanilla.

Banana Chips

Although raw, freshly peeled bananas taste great, packing them increases the likelihood of being smashed.

Before leaving the house, slice, soak in lemon juice, and bake the potatoes to eliminate that risk.

This leaves you with delicious, handy, and simple-to-eat banana chips.

The lemon juice adds a tartness that gives them an amazing flavour.

Rice Krispies 

Rice Krispie cookies are essentially a snack for any situation. All you need to create these are Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and nut butter, which takes hardly any time.

These elastic, crunchy treats are great for holiday parties, school lunches, or just munching on while watching the stars.

Beer Nuts

How can you make crispy, sweet, delectable beer nuts out of regular peanuts? Of course, with some sugar, water, and sea salt!

Because they are simple to chew with your fingers, these sweet and salty nuts are great for camping vacations.

If you’re feeling sluggish, all the carbohydrates will offer you a rapid energy boost.

Almond Crackers

These crackers are minimal in carbohydrates and only need four ingredients.

I realize, right? Sodium-free crackers? HEAVENLY!

Almond flour, sea salt, water, and sunflower seed are all required to prepare them. They have a crunchy, salty, and somewhat herbal flavour from the sunflower seed.

They are excellent for producing low-carb peanut butter and crackers despite having a faint nuttiness.

Kale Chips

Even though kale chips don’t resemble potato chips, they are crispy and flavorful due to the addition of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Except when talking about these chips, you’ll never hear me rave about how great and addicting kale is.

Once you start eating them, they are quite difficult to stop.

Puppy Chow

Puppy chow has always been a favourite of mine, and youngsters go crazy over it.

However, I found it difficult to adequately convey to others how excellent it was for the longest time.

Then one day, it dawned on me. The cereal Kellogg’s Krave! It tastes like peanut butter and powdered sugar mixed with Kellogg’s Krave cereal.

It is sweet, crispy, and loaded with delicious chocolate and peanut butter.

Banana Boats

This is another best snack to prepare while you’re out there, and it won’t weigh down your bag too much.

The only ingredients you’ll need are graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, and bananas.

They resemble s’mores in certain ways, but with a delicious banana foundation.

If s’mores aren’t your thing, you may add different contents in their place, such as caramel sauce, dried fruit, almonds, and shredded coconut.

Either way, they’ll be ready in under 15 minutes.

Heavy Snack & Appetizers

Camping Dutch Oven Nachos

One of the quick campfire dishes we like to eat in the afternoon is this one. Make these nachos in a disposable aluminium foil pan for very simple cleaning.

Campfire Corn on the Cob

The flavour of corn on the cob is sweet. We prefer eating corn on the cob as a main dish and a snack. During the summer, when corn is at its optimum, it is one of the simple camping dinners.

Dutch Oven Spinach Dip 

Some of the campfire snacks are so delicious and substantial that you could decide to skip supper! You don’t want to do this in the campground, do you? Prepare it in advance as one of your camping dinners.

Strawberry Basil Bruschetta

For happy hour, toast with fancy toppings is delectable. Slices of Italian bread are topped with goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, coconut oil, a touch of honey, fresh strawberries, and basil leaves.

Blue & Cheddar Cheeseball

This elegant dish is simple to prepare, travels well, and stays in the fridge or cooler for days!

Flat Bread with Prosciutto, Charred Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella & Basil

We believe that flatbreads are the ideal food because they can add virtually anything can be added to them. They work well for tasty snacks and real camp meals like lunch or a quick dinner. Flatbread and cherry tomatoes are grilled, and then prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and basil are added. In just 15 minutes, you’ll be dining like a king.

Stuffed Baby Bells Dutch Oven Campfire Appetizer

Making Dutch oven camping recipes is one of the favourite ways to prepare easy snacks for the campfire. Italian sausage, garlic, onion, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese are combined to fill these adorable baby bell peppers. Then, they are baked with charcoal briquettes or hot coals from a campfire. Although they require a little more time, your ravenous campers will appreciate them.

Dutch Oven Coffee Cake

this simple coffee cake begins with a boxed cake mix and adds some cinnamon and walnuts. Sour cream gives it a ton of moisture as well.

Dutch Oven Biscuits

These easy biscuits are flaky and make a savoury or sweet snack if you sprinkle on a dab of your favourite jam.
