The Essential Camping Food List

Sep 26, 2022

If you are preparing food for your camp, you do not know what to prepare. This article will provide you with suggestions.


1. Bread

Another essential food item that can be used for any meal time. At breakfast time it’s perfect for toast, great for sandwiches at lunch and beans on toast as a quick and easy evening meal. Bread can be eaten up to seven days after its best before date, and as a versatile food, it certainly should be on your camping food list.


2. Powdered milk

Add to tea, coffee, hot chocolate and more, plus use it to stir into porridge oats to add flavour.

3. Crackers

A great food for lunch time, crackers are a camping favourite to which you can add all kinds of toppings.


4. Beans

Baked beans, kidney beans, chickpeas and more are worth adding to your camping food list as they’re full of protein. Baked beans can be used for beans on toast or as a dressing for jacket potatoes, kidney beans can be added to chilli con carne, while chickpeas can be added to salads, soups and more.

5. Tuna

Tuna is a great sandwich or jacket potato filler and can be added to pasta dishes for wholesome meals for all the family to enjoy.


6. Vegetables

Tinned vegetables are a great accompaniment for any lunchtime or main meal. Peas, carrots, runner beans, sweetcorn, mushrooms, mixed veg and more are worth adding to your camping food stocks to pad out meals.

7. Fruit

Fresh fruit perishes quite quickly, so take some tinned fruit to accompany breakfast or to use as a dessert. Everything from peaches and pineapples to pears and prunes come in tinned form.


8. Sauces


Tomato ketchup, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, soy sauce and more will add flavour to camping meals and are a must-have on your camping food list.


9. Rice

Great for a ‘one pot’ camping meal, rice can be used for a chilli con carne, paella, curries and more. A non-perishable food, rice is a great stomach filler after an active day of adventure.


10.Pasta

Non-perishable, quick and easy to cook, pasta is an ideal main meal for hungry campers. Perfect for a Bolognese or Macaroni and Cheese, create a carb filled meal to calm rumbling stomachs. If you cook pasta in bulk, you can it eat cold for lunch the following day, for two meals for the price of one!
