4-Day Family Camping Food Menu
A family camping menu should be:
- Easy and quick to prepare.
- Requires only a few ingredients and
- Those ingredients are easy to store at camp (not prone to spilling, spoiling, space-hogging).
Camping Food Menu Plan
1st Night: Lloyds BBQ Ribs, corn, coleslaw and potato salad
Wrap ribs in heavy-duty foil, heat, open a can of corn and serve with ready-made coleslaw and potato salad. First night is celebration night. You've put up the tent, you've build a campfire, you've unpacked your gear. So kick back and relax. By the way, Costco is my favorite place to get a big tub of potato salad and coleslaw.
| Day 1 | |
| Breakfast: | Blueberry Pancakes, sausage and eggs |
| Lunch: | Chili dog and leftover coleslaw/potato salad |
| Dinner: | Grilled marinated steak tips, baked potatoes & camping onions. If no grill: Easy Pork Chops and bread rolls |
| Dessert: | S’mores |
| Day 2 | |
| Breakfast: | Cereal and fruit, corny cakes |
| Lunch: | Tortellini and tomato sauce |
| Dinner: | Meat loaf sandwich & Italian Wedding Soup (canned) |
| Dessert: | Mini Camping Pies |
| Day 3 | |
| Breakfast: | French Toast, sausage and eggs |
| Lunch: | Chowder in bread bowl or grill burgers and hot dogs |
| Dinner: | Ham, beans and baked sweet potatoes |
| Dessert: | Peach Mallows |
| Day 4 | |
| Breakfast: | Pancakes, sausage and eggs |
| Lunch: | Foil-wrapped Surprise (Whatever's left in camp kitchen) |
Do we stick religiously to this menu plan? Of course not. But being prepared gives me the freedom to be more creative and flexible.
