Easy Recipes To Cook In Your Camper
Every RV trip requires some basic meal planning, which involves cooking most (or all) of the dishes. After all, it's not economical to dine out each meal. Plus, most campsites are too far away from restaurants for this to be a feasible option.
But cooking delicious and healthy meals for the family can be tough. You don't want to eat the same food each meal, but you also don't want to spend your whole vacation in the kitchen. Fortunately, there are plenty of easy recipes that you can cook in your camper. We've gathered up some of our favorites below.

Crockpot Recipes
A crockpot is a valuable addition to any camper kitchen. Simply toss in the ingredients, set the appropriate settings and the timer, then go about your day. No longer will you be stuck stirring ingredients in a pot or pan, unable to leave the kitchen until the meal is fully prepared. Instead, safely leave the kitchen and enjoy your vacation while the crockpot does the work for you!
Apple Cider: A cold fall or winter day can be instantly improved with a cozy mug of hot apple cider.
Beef Tacos: A taco bar is an easy way to accommodate different taste buds. Cook up the meat in the crock pot, then let each camper add their own toppings to their liking.

It’s a staple of RV camping for a reason! The campfire is a great way to gather all together, enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, and even whip up some delicious food.
Breakfast Burger: It’s tough to imagine a more delicious way to start the day than with a breakfast burger!
Bar-b-que Bean Bake: For an unforgettable lunch or dinner over the campfire, it’s hard to beat bar-b-que! This easy recipe calls for the ingredients tossed into a Dutch oven and placed onto the hot coals, letting the fire do the heavy lifting for you.
Grill Recipes
Grills can elevate even the most simple foods into delectable treats. There are many affordable portable grills on the market that can easily be added to your camper adventures. It’s a worthwhile investment for RV travelers, especially those with a passion for food.
Grilled Panini Sandwiches: Build-your-own deli sandwiches are a go-to RV lunch option. But they can get boring quickly. That’s where grilled paninis enter the picture! Improve your standard lunch option and try out the many different sandwich combinations.
Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Trout: This easy meal can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead. Simply stuff and wrap the trout, cover, then chill until dinner time. Bonus points if you catch the fish yourself!
Simple Camper Kitchen Recipes
Four Ingredient Soup: This recipe may only have a few ingredients, but it still packs the flavor. It’s a quick and delicious way to get dinner on the table.
Rice, meat, and various sauces: If you want to cut down on your time in the RV kitchen, consider making a big batch of rice and meat. Keep the flavors simple, seasoning with just salt and pepper, and then add in different sauces when it’s meal time. It’s a simple way to do leftovers, but without repeating flavors. For example; enjoy teriyaki rice bowls one day and then salsa-filled burrito rice bowls the next.
