Mini Chocolate Cakes in an Orange

If you have ever made a cake in a mug, you can make these individual-sized campfire cakes. Use a microwave mug cake recipe and then bake it over the fire inside an orange. Hello flavor! The best part is the orange is also the serving dish so there is minimal cleanup from this campfire dessert.

Fresh Fruit Waffle Cones

This is one of our favorite desserts for camping. Use any fresh fruit you have on hand. Local, seasonal fruit will also save you money. Chop the fruit and then serve it in a waffle cone with a dollop of whipped cream. Simple and sweet.

Grilled Banana Boat S’mores

You can’t have a family camping trip without making desserts. Traditional S’mores are a must but these Grilled Banana Boat S’mores are a fun way to mix things up. This is a gluten free option to traditional S’mores our family loves.

S’more Campfire Cones

Do you notice a theme here with camping desserts? The cleanup is super easy! These Smore Campfire Cones are a fun twist on a classic. Marshmallows, chocolate, and sugar cones are all you need.

Gluten Free S’mores

Instead of classic S’mores, mix things up with these Gluten Free Banana Honey S’mores on Trail Mix cookies. They are vegan and made with Manuka honey instead of refined sugar. Kids and adults eat them up.

Cookie S’mores

You’ll have a different take on S’mores for every night you’re camping. S’mores are a classic for a reason – what’s not to love about that gooey marshmallow and chocolate mix? These Easy S’mores are another version of the traditional campfire treat. Use biscuits (cookies) for a more stable base.

Make Ahead Chocolate Covered Cracker Sandwiches

Make these Chocolate Covered Cookie Butter Sandwiches at home and bring along to the campsite. They hold up well to travel and are a nice mix of sweet and salty for the trail.

Peach Mallows

A lighter fruit dessert from Mother Nature Network, Peach Mallows use peaches, a bit of cinnamon, mini marshmallows, and any other toppings such as chocolate or berries your family likes. These would be a perfect evening snack or dessert for camping.

Yes, you can bring your sweet tooth when camping. These camping dessert recipes are simple, easy to put together, and there’s very little cleanup. What’s your favorite dessert for camping?
