Whether you are cooking over an open campfire, your own backyard fire pitt or having a backyard cookout, cooking in the outdoors is fun, rewarding and easy when you have the right tools.
A few of our must have tools for outdoor cooking include:
- Kindling, wood, fire starter

- Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
- Cast Iron pans or pots

When I was a kid, camping meant heading to the back country and making our own fire pitts. We had no grills, no grates, no portable campfire ring – we had to wing it. Tin foil dinners were our main meals most weekends!
These days when we go camping we are all about easy camping meals although sometimes they can be a little over the top camping feasts!
In this camping recipe round up you will find everything you need to make tasty meals including french toast, foil dinners, mac n cheese – even campfire nachos!
