A family camping menu should be:
1. Easy and quick to prepare.
2. Requires only a few ingredients and
3. Those ingredients are easy to store at camp (not prone to spilling, spoiling, space-hogging).
Here is our family’s 4-Day Camping menu plan. We have tweaked it over the years and I’m sure you will tweak it some more for your family’s style and needs.
4-Day Camping Food Menu Plan
1st Night: Lloyds BBQ Ribs, corn, coleslaw and potato salad
Wrap ribs in heavy-duty foil, heat, open a can of corn and serve with ready-made coleslaw and potato salad. First night is celebration night....

Cooking is one of my specialties. While in the US Army Reserves I learned about Cooking. Indoor, outdoor and campfire cooking was fun and easy with cast iron cookware. I remember the outdoors and the smell of campfire cooking, accompanied by the chorus of the squirrels, crickets and birds, during bivouacs.

This is a different take on several recipes. Once you make it you’ll see it resembles a recipe called Pommes Anna. Or, a recipe called Campfire Potatoes.
I made this for a couple of friends one time and they loved it. At the time I wanted to do something other than baked potatoes and came up with this. The time it takes in the oven is less than baked and the time it takes to make it is far less than Pommes Anna.
This recipe will feed 4-5 people.
Three pounds russet potatoes
Non-stick spray
One stick of butter
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Seasoned Salt
Rosemary (optional)
Preheat oven to...
