Camping is no excuse to settle for bland meals. Whether you're glamping in style or simply looking to elevate your camping experience, a gourmet outdoor feast is within reach. With the right recipes and the perfect portable collapsible table, you can enjoy meals that rival those of top-tier restaurants—all while surrounded by nature.
Glamping Breakfast Ideas: Start Your Day Right
Overnight oats are a lifesaver for campers. Easy to prepare in advance, they require no cooking at the campsite. Simply mix oats, milk (or a dairy-free alternative), seeds, and your favorite toppings in a jar and let them sit overnight in your cooler. In the morning, you’ll have a creamy, nutritious breakfast ready to enjoy.
Pre-crack and whisk your eggs at home, storing them in a sealed bottle for easy transport. When it's time for breakfast, pour the eggs onto a preheated pan and add your favorite ingredients—cheese, bell peppers, mushrooms, or even smoked salmon. With a portable fold-out table, you’ll have plenty of space to prep and serve this glamping staple.
Store-bought cinnamon rolls can be skewered and cooked over the campfire for an easy, indulgent breakfast. Turn them occasionally to ensure a perfectly toasted crust. Drizzle with icing for an extra touch of sweetness before serving on your camping table.
Gourmet Camping Lunch: Midday Meals with a Twist
Light, refreshing, and easy to make, this salad is perfect for warm afternoons. Slice cucumbers, toss them with a tangy dressing, and top with slivered almonds for a satisfying crunch, prep everything for a seamless cooking experience.
A comfort food classic made even better! Cook pasta ahead of time and pack it in an airtight container. At the campsite, heat cheese sauce over a portable stove, stir in cooked pasta, and mix in extras like bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, or grilled chicken, then you can then enjoy this delicious dish in the wild.
Ditch boring sandwiches and opt for gourmet wraps. Fill tortillas with hummus, grilled veggies, or teriyaki chicken, then roll them up and toast them over the campfire. Your camp table will provide a stable surface to assemble and serve these delicious creations.
Luxurious Camping Dinners: End the Day in Style
A Spanish classic that’s surprisingly easy to make outdoors. Cook rice, saffron, and broth in a large pan over the fire, then mix in your choice of seafood, chicken, or vegetables. With a camping table nearby, you’ll have ample room to prep and serve this stunning dish.
Hobo packs take the hassle out of cooking. Simply load aluminum foil with ingredients like seasoned steak, potatoes, and vegetables, then fold and place over the fire. Let the flavors meld while you relax.
Who says you can’t have pizza while camping? Use store-bought pizza dough, grill it on one side, then flip and add your toppings—cheese, pepperoni, fresh basil, or even a drizzle of truffle oil. Cook until crispy and serve hot from your roll-up camping table.
Delightful Camping Desserts: A Sweet Ending
Slice a banana down the middle, stuff it with chocolate and marshmallows, then wrap it in foil and place it on the campfire until gooey. Your portable fold-out table is the perfect place to prepare and serve this easy dessert.
Dice apples, toss them with cinnamon and oats, then wrap in foil and roast over the fire. Let the flames do the work while you relax by the fire with a warm and comforting dessert.
No camping trip is complete without s’mores! Stick to the traditional combo of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, or get creative by swapping in peanut butter cups, white chocolate, or fresh berries.
