You’re heading out this weekend to go camping and you need to figure out what you and your family will eat. Am I right? This camping meal plan has everything you need; healthy camping food recipes, camping grocery list, and a 3 day camping meal plan. It’s everything you need for 3 days in the great outdoors with food enough for a family of  4.

Another Camping Meal Plan: Meals and recipes for your next weekend campout

Camping  Grocery List

When you go camping, it’s really important to have a meal plan for your trip. Unlike at home, you can’t just go out and run to the store for something you need. That’s why I have a printable camping grocery list for you with this meal plan. It will ensure that you have EVERYTHING you need to make camp cooking a success this trip.

 Healthy Camping Food Recipes

Fish and Vegetables

4-6 fish filets (or 2-3 whole, cleaned fish)
2 Green Peppers, sliced
8 oz sliced mushrooms
2 Zucchini, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
Dried dill
Salt & pepper
Butter

At home or at the campsite: Season fish with salt, pepper, and dried dill to taste. Place sliced vegetables onto the foil sheet, followed up the lemon slices. Place the fish on top and top with 2-3 pats of butter. Wrap the foil in a flat pack. Freeze if making at home.

At the campsite: Place foil packets on a metal grate over medium heat on the campfire. Cook for 15-20 minutes.

Prep Plan before you leave for camping trip - Camping Meal Plan that is easy to follow and full of delicious meals for a 3 day trip

Tip: The key to a successful plan to make it as simple as possible and PREP AS MUCH as you can before you leave home. These camping recipes are all really easy to make and can be cooked on a campfire with a metal grate or outdoor grill. Therefor,  no special equipment is needed. I would, however, recommend bringing a cast iron or fire safe skillet, another metal grate to place over the fire (an oven rack works great), and a good pair of barbecue tongs. It never hurts to be prepared.

Prep Plan before you leave for camping trip

  1. Marinade pork chops in a ziploc bag and freeze in bag.
  2. Make coleslaw at home and store in a ziploc bag or lidded container.
  3. Cut up fruit for the fruit salad (breakfast day 2 and throughout the trip) and store in lidded containers.
  4. Assemble fish and vegetable foil dinner packets. Freeze.
  5. Precook chicken, onions, and peppers for nachos Day #3

Now you are ready for your 3 day camping trip with friends or family. This is everything you need for meals at the camp site. Store all of your frozen or refrigerated items in a cooler and your dry goods in a plastic container. As a family, we stick to improved campsites with drive up access, so we’ll leave the cooler and dry goods in the car to eliminate curious furry visitors.

      That’s the spirit! But if you don’t go camping, all these recipes work great on a backyard grill too.

      A shopping list is a MUST for me. There were times that I’d forget something for a recipe or meal and dinner was “interesting” to say the least. When you can’t just run to the store, that list saves your your meal, your sanity, and the trip. I’ll have more recipes and shopping lists coming soon. We just got back from a weekend camping trip with Italian cheesy bread, biscuits and gravy, and chicken nachos. Yummy
