Camping can be a rich and enjoyable experience. But it’s not always clear what to eat on your camping adventure. The cooking facilities aren’t exactly top notch, and you will often require quite a high calorie intake.

Here are 5 of the best foods to eat when camping.

Oats

Oats are the number one choice for camping. They are high in energy, which is slow released throughout the day They are also very easy to eat. You could simply add milk or water and put under a gentle heat, or eat it cold.

Potatoes

Delicious, high in energy, easy to cook. This is why potatoes are perfect for camping. Simply throw them in some boiling water for 10-20 minutes, and they will be ready to eat.

Mixed Vegetables

Packets of mixed vegetables are a useful food to have. You can boil them in water or fry them in a pan, whichever is more convenient. The excellent thing about mixed vegetables is they go with anything.

Ready-Made Stews

Carrying a plastic tub of stew might sound annoying, but it more than makes up for it when you’re enjoying it by the campfire. It is a warming and hearty meal that will lift your spirits to no end.

Nuts and Seeds

These are a great snack for if you’re hiking, sitting in the tent or need something to tide you over until your next meal. They don’t need to be refrigerated, and are higher in calories and harder to damage than fruit.
