These easy camping breakfast food ideas include our favorite camping breakfast food ideas when we are car camping and RVing. Because not everyone camps or cooks the same way, we have included meal ideas and recipes using a variety of cooking methods and equipment including:

  • Panfrying with a skillet over a camp stove or directly over a campfire with a grate ( I prefer this cast iron skillet from Barebones)
  • Blackstone flat top griddle cooking (great for group meals)
  • Quick and easy on-the-go options with make-ahead muffins
  • Boil in a bag or just add hot water meals
  • Dutch Oven cooking
  • Grilled or cooked directly over the fire (skewers and pie irons)

Easy Camping Breakfast Food Ideas

Classic French Toast

There’s nothing better than classic French Toast to start your day. You can pan fry these in just minutes with a cast iron skillet. Drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or spread with your favorite jam or chocolate spread.

Easy Camping Breakfast Burritos

Start your day with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and spicy chorizo or breakfast sausage all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. These breakfast burritos can be prepped/cooked at home and reheated over the campfire or they can be cooked fresh on-site in a skillet. Don’t forget the hot sauce or salsa if you like a little spice.

Easy Skillet Sausage and Egg Hash

Skillet hashes are simple one-pan meals that come together quickly. This version combined breakfast sausage, diced potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and eggs for an easy meal. Cook in a skillet or on a flattop griddle.

 Eggs in a Basket/Hole

Pan fry an egg INSIDE buttered toast and create this easy breakfast meal. We call it eggs in a basket and eggs in a hole. But it has so many names. This is an easy idea for using a skillet or a pie iron. If you want to try something different, finish it with a drizzle with honey and sliced avocado.

Vegan Porridge

Oatmeal is great on a cold morning. This recipe included great tips on conserving fuel when cooking this outdoors and offers delicious mix in options for the perfect bowl.

Skewers aren't traditionally thought of as breakfast food, but these vegetable skewers with Halloumi cheese are a great way to add more veggies in your day. You can easily;y customize it to include your favorites for this vegetarian option.

Campfire Orange Cinnamon Rolls

There's nothing quite as delicious as fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls. Now you can make them at camp using this recipe using hollowed-out orange halves and foil. Uses stor bought cinnamon roll dough and instructions to make this with aluminum foil and a campfire.

Green Chile Omelette

Boil in a bag meals make for easy cooking and clean up. This boil in a bag omelette is the simplest way I know how to cook a perfect omelette. Just add your ingredients, boil, slide it out when it’s done, and top with salsa verde. Instead of a plastic bag, I use a silicone bag in a pot of boiling water over a campfire or on a camp stove.

 Breakfast Sandwiches

Take that boil in a bag omelet, add a sausage patty, bacon, or ham, and create an easy breakfast sandwich. English muffins, bagels, or bread can be toasted over the campfire or in a skillet.

Campfire Breakfast in a Bag

Rather than cooking your bacon and eggs separately, you cook them together over the fire in a brown paper bag. This shows you how to assemble and cook this classic campfire breakfast.

Sausage Breakfast Quesadilla

Everything is better loaded with cheese and these breakfast quesadillas are no exception. These flour tortillas are loaded with breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs. and copious amounts of cheese. Perfect for cooking in a skillet or as a foil pocket meal cooked over hot coals.

Mountain Man Breakfast -  Dutch Oven

Ground sausage, eggs, regular or sweet potatoes and cheese combine in a Dutch oven for a hearty campfire breakfast. You can use regular cut potatoes or hash browns in this recipe that takes about 25-40 minutes to cook.

Toasted Oats Cereal (Muesli)

This warm toasted oats cereal or muesli combines rolled oats, chopped nuts, and dried fruit for a delicious and hearty camping breakfast. Make it ahead of time at home or toast it in a pan at the campground!

Pumpkin Spiced Granola

Either by itself, added to milk or yogurt, this Pumpkin Spiced Granola is a sweet and savory treat. It’s a nice make ahead, no cook option for mornings at the campsite.

Make-Ahead Apple Muffins 

No one says you have to cook all your food on site. These hearty apple muffins with walnuts are made at home and make an ideal grab and go breakfast option. Smear with a bit of butter or nut butter for added protein if you wish.

Make-Ahead Banana Muffins with Applesauce & Oats

Here is another make-ahead muffins that travel well - Banana Muffins. These are made with applesauce and oats for hearty baked goods. I list several add-ins you can throw in for a variety of different options.
