Kids Camping Recipes

Kids camping recipes are a great way to keep the kids entertained when camping. It will often motivate them to eat, given they have contributed to the production of their meal.

The secret to a good kids camping recipe is to keep it simply, you need to be able to keep their attention and interest.

Here are some suggestions to get you started:

Baked Potatoes

Baked Potatoes are always a great hit, just wrap the potato in foil and place in the camp fire until cooked (this will vary depending on the size of the potato).

At this point they can either start preparing some filling or go back to play for a while.

As far as fillings go, pick there favourites, some of our suggestions are: grated cheese, sour cream, mushrooms, tin corn just to name a few.

Banana Boats

Peel back the banana in one spot and cut a narrow slice out of the banana.

Stuff the banana with chocolate buds or marshmallows, or anything else you favour, then, pull the banana skin back over the banana and wrap in foil.

Place in the camp fire for about 5-10 minutes. Note: Once cooked remove from the fire and the foil before eating.

Apple Crumble

Place a piece of foil flat and spray or wipe with oil. Place chopped up apple and rolled oats inside.

Add a dash of peanut butter or caramel top and fill (which comes in a tin), then wrap the foil up and cook in the fire for approximately half an hour.

Macaroni Cheese

10g Macaroni, 50g cheddar cheese (grated), 1 tbsp parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp milk, 5 tbsp butter, foil container.

Pre-cook pasta, add all other ingredients and place in foil container.

Wrap container with foil then place on grill or in camp fire to cook (for approx. 20 minutes, however this may vary depending on cooking method), stir and let sit prior to serving.

And of course the most popular kids camping recipes include marshmallows, which are always a favourite around the campfire, especially when heated on the end of a stick / skewer.
