These are some awesome recipes. We always end up making French Toast as you have on the list but we are definitely going to need to branch out and try some new recipes.

That French Toast is just so good!

The recipes look great! We’re usually out for an 8-10 day canoe trip and don’t carry cast iron or cans/bottles. Our challenge is 2 vegetarians and a lactose/gluten intolerant individual. With some modifications, these look doable. We’ll give them a try and report back.

EASY CAMPING BREAKFAST RECIPES

Breakfasts while camping don’t have to be complicated, especially if you prep some meals & ingredients ahead of time. As well as have some no-cook options on hand for when you want an extra lazy morning.

Some quick camping breakfast tips to enjoy the most important meal of the day:

• Use store bought pancake batter, you only have to add water to or prep the batter ahead of time in a sealed container (keeps about 2 days in the cooler)
• Buy pre-sliced deli meat & cheese & already cut up fruit
• Use instant drink packages (coffee, hot chocolate, tea etc.)
• A bodem or pour over with a coffee filter are easy ways to make coffee
• Bring shelf stable milk  if you don’t like milk powder  

1. Tasty Breakfast Sandwich

A tasty breakfast sandwich with an English Muffin, and our favourite toppings is our go-to for mornings. Easy recipe to cook over the coals of a campfire on your next camping trip.

You’ll need:

• English Muffins – enough for everyone to have 1 or 2
• Cheddar Cheese or your favourite pre-cut cheese slices – 1 for every sandwich
• Salami / Ham / or favourite deli meat slices
• Fried or Scrambled Egg – one for each sandwich (optional – we skip for a quick mess free option)
• Tomato slices (optional)

Fry or scramble the eggs first. Lay a piece of tinfoil down on the table, large enough to wrap up the sandwich completely.

Place 1 slice of cheese, meat & tomato on one side of sandwich, close it up & wrap in tinfoil. Cook about 10-15 minutes over coals to melt the cheese & heat everything up. Rotate and flip the tinfoil package to prevent burning.

When it’s done, quickly fry up the egg and place inside finished sandwich.

2. Skillet Breakfast with Potatoes & Peppers

We love breakfast skillets, as they’re super easy & versatile to whip up in the morning.

A tasty and hearty way to start your camp mornings, while enjoying the great outdoors. You can cook over the fire, or a camp stove too.

4. Bacon On A Stick

Try this fun way to cook bacon. Wrap it around a soaked skewer, and grill over the campfire. Plus kids love it.

Make a candied version by rolling in brown sugar or maple syrup.

This may just become a new favorite camping breakfast.

5. Cottage Cheese Fruit Bowls

Cottage Cheese Fruit Bowls are a healthy, no bake & quick breakfast meal your little campers will devour.

High in protein, it takes only 5 minutes to prep, and little clean up. Add your favorite toppings.

We like eating this for a summer meal or snack when it’s hot outside.

6. Apple Pie Spice Campfire Donuts

Warm fresh apple pie spiced donuts for breakfast…sounds heavenly. Especially of you’re doing a little fall camping.

Using a premade biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy. The hard part will be waiting for the oil to heat up.

Add these to the top of your best camping breakfast ideas list. 

7. S’Mores Pancakes

What could be more “camping” than s’mores. These S’mores pancakes will hit the spot, when craving a sweet breakfast. Toast the marshmallows over the campfire and add them to your stack.

9. Healthy Breakfast Hash With Kale, Sausage, and Apple

I often crave some green leafy veggies when camping, and this breakfast hash with sausage, apple and kale is just the thing.

A one pan meal, with only 5 simple ingredients, that adds a few more nutrients to your camp diet.

Can easily be made vegan, by using a plant-based sausage.

Bagels are pefect for camping as they aren’t easy to squish, and they last a long while.

These hearty breakfast bagels are full of egg, cheese and bacon. Just cook ingredients in your cast iron skillet, and add to your bagels. We like to jazz them up with a little hot sauce or pesto.

11. Ultimate Breakfast Beans

Baked beans, over sourdough toast, with a runny egg on top, is my idea of camp breakfast perfection.

A great family breakfast when you are looking for a hearty, filling morning feast.  

12. Cheesy Hash Browns

This cast iron skillet cheesy potatoes recipe has camping classic written all over it.

Fry up a pan or two, and they’ll be gone in minutes. Add a fried egg or two, and some sausages for a complete, hearty meal.

13. Campfire Breakfast Hash With Chorizo

Cook up a pan of campfire breakfast hash with chorizo sausage for a perfect start to your camping day.

A warm, savory breakfast hash, is just the thing. We like to add a bit of salsa or hot sauce, for an extra kick.

NO COOK CAMPING BREAKFAST RECIPES

14. Healthy Pumpkin Protein Balls

Protein balls are an easy no bake breakfast recipe that you can make in under 15 minutes.

The most important meal of the day is equally as important (if not more important) when you’re camping. Breakfast can be as simple as dry cereal or a granola bar, but where’s the fun in that? Granted, when you have small kids who need food right away, these are essentials, so don’t forget to pack them!

Once you have tamed the hangry littles with some initial food, where do you start with breakfast when you’re not only away from home in the great outdoors and without the modern conveniences of your own kitchen?

I have some tips for making breakfast a breeze while camping plus some fantastic recipes to try on your next camping trip!

Top 5 Favourite Easy Camping Breakfast Ideas:

1. Oatmeal – whichever is your favourite: overnight oats, instant oatmeal packs, or cook up a pot over the fire.  Top it off with fresh fruit, yum!

2. Yogurt – chop up some fresh fruit, add yogurt and sprinkle granola or chia seeds on top (canned fruit works well too)

3. French Toast – Crack a few eggs, a generous pour of milk, many many shakes of cinnamon, dunk in the bread and grill until crisp.  Don’t forget the Maple Syrup!

4. English Muffins – Throw them into the cast iron skillet if you want them toasty and ready for cream cheese, or bring along some peanut butter and jam!

5. Eggs – However you like them: Scrambled eggs, a make-ahead breakfast sandwich, fried with toast and bacon, a cheddar cheese breakfast burrito, or the easy way – just hard boil them at home!

Camping Breakfast Hacks to speed up the morning:

Favourite no-cook camping breakfast ideas:.

• Yogurt topped with fruit and granola
• Muffins with a side of fresh fruit
• Cereal and milk (more a favourite for the kids than the adults in my family)

Favourite Make Ahead Camping Breakfast Ideas:

• Healthy instant oatmeal: prepared, single servings, in mason jars, ready for boiling water
• Breakfast burritos or breakfast sandwiches: wrapped in foil and ready to re-heat

And you’ll find so many more breakfast ideas below!

If there is any way to make meals easier while camping, it’s worth a shot, right?

Prep, prep, prep! Whatever can be mixed or chopped before you leave the ease of your home kitchen, take the time and do it. Future you will thank you.

I am a huge believer in ‘lazy mom camping’ and if you want more tips and ideas around making your entire trip easier, check out this article all about planning and prepping your stress-free family camping trip .

1. Pre-cook the Bacon

Frying bacon ahead of time is a game-changer! Get that whole package done and all you’ll have to do is heat it a bit at the campsite and it’s done! I recommend saving all the bacon grease in a glass jar and bringing it along on your camping trip. You’ll want a little in the frying pan to reheat the bacon and it is awesome for making scrambled eggs.

I think these days you can also buy pre-cooked bacon in the freezer section. My grandma likes this, but I haven’t tried it yet.

2. Scramble your eggs

While cooking the eggs might not take a long time, cracking eggs does! Find containers that will hold as many eggs as you need each morning and go ahead and whisk those bad boys. Store the egg mixture in the cooler for up to a couple of days.

Or, if you have any food safety concerns about scrambling the eggs ahead of time, you can purchase cartons of egg whites and these are perfect for scrambled eggs and easy to use… or powdered eggs is an option too!

3. Pancake Batter Shortcuts

I recommend using “just add water” pancake mix while you’re camping. If you have a water bottle that has measurements on the side, add the water in, measure out the dry ingredients, give it a shake, and your pancake mixture is ready!

If you want to fancy up your pancakes, bring along some berries to add in, mash up a banana or two into the batter, or add some cinnamon and raisins (or chocolate chips!) to the dry mix before leaving home.

4. Hot Beverages: Skip the fancy, try instant

Just because you’re camping doesn’t mean you have to slack on morning drink options! If you have a camp stove, you can heat water for anything from coffee to tea to hot chocolate.

Want to simplify your morning? Go instant! Spend some time browsing the coffee aisle. There are so many gourmet varieties of instant coffee these days. So much easier than cleaning a coffee machine at the campground.

Another easy tip: If you have access to electricity, bring along an electric tea kettle and an extension cord! Coffee can be made in a percolator, French press, or if you brought the extension cord, why not just bring a coffee maker? The space different items take up is all about priorities.

5. Powdered Milk?

If your kids like milk (but maybe don’t like powdered milk), there are a few shelf-safe milk options that don’t need to be chilled until you’re planning to drink it. Bring along the individual containers and throw what you’ll need for the next day into the cooler the night before. They will be nice and cold when you need them, but won’t take up tons of space in your cooler!

Powdered milk is an option for cereal and if your family likes alternative milks like soy and almond, you should be able to find non-refrigerated options of these as well.

6. Plan and Prep before the trip!

Yes, it takes a bit of extra time, but do it!

Make a meal plan, even if it’s a general outline… then, prepare everything you can ahead of time.

Cut up the pepper you plan to add to your scrambled eggs. Wash the berries. Mix up your overnight oats into individual jars before the trip. Anything that can be done at home means one less thing you need to do when you’re out enjoying the quite, relaxing wilderness.

All the Best Camping Breakfast Ideas

Here are tons of recipe ideas, broken down into handy categories so you can create a lot of variety in your morning camping menu.

The Simple Breakfast: Oatmeal, Cereal, and Fruit

Easy breakfasts are a must for some camping mornings. Especially when you need a breakfast to be quick so you can get out and explore!

Cereal : Bring along your preferred milk option (don’t forget about powdered)

Oatmeal: Instant, over-night, old-fashioned (add in some raisins, nuts, and seeds too)

Fruit: Fresh or from the can

Yogurt: Pair this with fruit, some granola, and you’ve got a yummy healthy simple breakfast!

It doesn’t get much more simple than cereal . Powdered milk is my go-to for a cereal morning. If you plan ahead, though, oatmeal can be a quick breakfast, too!

Instant oatmeal packets only require boiling water, which is easy! And Overnight oats can be prepped ahead of time and put into a mason jar to pull out as needed. Use those lids and don’t worry about washing until you get home.  These two options are our go-to when we’re planning early mornings or looking for something quick and on the healthier side.

Here are some other oatmeal ideas:

Espresso Overnight Oats with Almond Butter – The flavors in these overnight oats will be a delight for your morning, plus it has some of that caffeine that you might want to start your day off right!

Home-made Instant Oatmeal – Yes, you can create your own instant oatmeal! Pop your creations into glass jars with lids so all you have to do is add hot water. If you’re on a short trip, don’t worry about washing at the campsite, just screw the lid back on and wash it at home.

Chocolate Oatmeal – Who doesn’t love chocolate for breakfast? Here’s a healthy chocolate oatmeal option!

Berry Overnight Oats – A delicious and healthy option that will only take about five minutes to prep!

Plus, here’s a bonus make-ahead option:

Coconut Chia Parfaits with Fresh Berries – With just six ingredients, these beautiful parfaits are a breakfast superfood that will have you ready to tackle your day outdoors.

The Sweet Breakfast

Do you have a sweet tooth? These delicious breakfast ideas are the perfect way to start a day of outdoor activities:

Doughnuts and pastries:  If you’re camping close to a town and it’s easy to pop into a café, grabbing some freshly made sweets can be such a special treat!

French Toast and Pancakes:  Easy to mix up the dry ingredients before hand and mix the wet ingredients that morning

PopTarts and Toaster Strudels: Yes, a bit low on the nutritious scale, but fun for kids to roast these over the fire!

French Toast Foil Packet – You could always bring a huge electric skillet camping and make French toast in bulk, but this recipe takes up less space and is super fun to make! Packed with lots of topping ideas, these French Toast Foil Packets are sure to be a hit.

Banana Pancakes – Have some bananas at home that are turning brown? Pack them and get ready to make some delicious pancakes! Just be sure to pack a griddle or a cast-iron skillet that you can cook them in.

Giant Cinnamon Roll – Here’s a recipe the kids can help with that will make everyone’s tummies rumble. All you’ll need is some parchment paper, a cast-iron Dutch oven, refrigerated cinnamon rolls, and some hot coals!

Campfire Apple Pie – With just two ingredients, Campfire Apple Pies are super simple and extra delicious. Especially if you make your own apple pie filling! Plus, kids love using the pie iron to cook these over the fire!

Baked Bananas – A delicious and healthy way to start your morning at the campsite, Baked Bananas are fairly simple to toss together and get cooking over the campfire or on a portable grill. This recipe has them being cooked at home, but I’ve done this at the campfire by wrapping the bananas in tinfoil and setting them over a low flame.

Peanut Butter Protein Balls – These are no-bake and ready in 15 minutes, so perfect to bring along on a camping trip!

Breakfast Breads and Muffins

I love make-ahead meals! And camping make-ahead meals are no exception. Breads and muffins are a perfect and easy camping breakfast option! Simply make a batch of muffins ahead of time and freeze them to keep other foods cold in the cooler for a day or two while they thaw.

Go ahead and make a batch of your family’s favourite muffin recipe or try something new!

Muffins: So many to choose from! Our favourites are banana chocolate chip, blueberry with brown sugar on top and morning glory muffins – full of all sorts of great things!

Cinnamon raisin bread: toasted with butter, so good!

Fruit Loaves: Zucchini, banana, cranberry, pumpkin, etc.

Toast: So simple! Peanut butter, jam, honey, easy!

Vegan Blueberry Lemon Muffins – Two fruit flavors that are a wonderful mix have to be blueberry and lemon! Try making and freezing these muffins for a fast and tasty camping breakfast.

If you’d prefer to make your bread right over the campfire, give this one a try!

Damper – A traditional Australian bread that is easy to make at the campsite, try a Damper and learn some history while you’re at it!

Hearty Breakfast Ideas

Feeling a little more ambitious? These hearty hot breakfasts may take a smidge more time if you’re making them on-site, but they will be well worth your time and effort.

Basic Bacon and Eggs: A traditional hearty breakfast without much work (if you pre-cook the bacon at home!)

Campfire Frittata: Grab your cast iron skillet, some eggs, cubed ham, chopped onion and bell peppers, spinach, and your favourite cheese. Drizzle some olive oil to sauté the onion and peppers first, then mix everything together and cook over the open flame.

Breakfast Burger, Burrito, or Sandwich: Whatever you call it, the basic recipe is the same – Bread, buns, or flour tortillas with scrambled or fried egg, bacon, sausage, or ham, and cheese inside.  Always yummy!

Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Skillet – An all-in-one pan delight that will fill hungry bellies for hours!

Campfire Egg Cups with Ham – An easy recipe to customize and so simple to make (even the kids can help!). Use an aluminum muffin tin to cook these over an open fire.  Oh, and they’re great for supper too!

Broccoli Egg Bites – Tasty whether eaten hot or cold, broccoli egg bites are a make-ahead, savory snack that will give you a boost of nutrients, too!

Make-Ahead Scrambled Egg Muffins – Another make-ahead breakfast idea, these egg muffins are easily customized to your taste. You can even make different flavors all at once to add lots of variety!

Healthy Vegetarian Greek Breakfast Egg Muffins – Here’s a scrumptious Greek version of egg muffins that is sure to add some flavor to your morning.

Bacon or Sausage, Eggs, and Toast – A simple made on-site breakfast, even this one can be simplified. As I mentioned before, you can crack your eggs and put them in a water bottle for easy scrambling, the bacon and sausage can be cookied ahead and reheated in a skillet (save that grease!), and toast can be made on the camp stove or over the campfire.

Backpacking Breakfast – Cheesy Bacon Grits. Yummy. An excellent choice for on-the-go hikers and campers!

Tailgate Breakfast Tacos – Easily adapted for the campsite, slice your peppers and crack your eggs before you leave home and this breakfast will come together quickly.

Skillet Breakfast – I recommend some prep with this one to cut down on the time, but with a nice, hot fire, this one-pot breakfast will come together quickly. Eggs, peppers, potatoes, and bacon are such a tasty combination!

Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo – A colorful and protein-packed breakfast that will be a perfect taste excursion from your everyday breakfast items!

Mountain Man Breakfast – A filling option consisting of eggs, ground sausage, potatoes (regular, sweet, or hash browns all work), and cheese, a Mountain Man Breakfast will fill you up, but will take some time to cook, so be prepared.

Breakfast in a Bag – A fun idea that doesn’t use any dishes (bonus!). Breakfast in a Bag is delicious and a simple bacon, eggs, and cheese meal that cooks over hot coals in a paper bag!

Campfire Breakfast Burritos – Breakfast Burritos can be made ahead completely, wrapped up in foil, and reheated over a campfire. You can also scramble the eggs ahead of time and toss them in a plastic bag for the cooler to use as-needed.

Camp Kitchen Considerations and FAQs

If you’re in an RV, you don’t have to worry about a stove and refrigeration (probably). For those of us who love (or are willing to endure) a hardier form of camping, let’s think through the kitchen situation.

No Refrigeration?

My first suggestion is to be sure to invest in an excellent cooler. Read those reviews and find one that stays cool for a long time. Also, I recommend finding one that has a spigot on the bottom so you can easily drain the water that accumulates from melting ice (and for easier cleaning). Check that cooler often and make sure everything is staying nice and cold! If you want to be extremely precise, invest in a thermometer so you can monitor those temps.

The second recommendation is to find alternatives to having to use a cooler. Especially for items that would be a huge issue if they spoiled or would take up a lot of space in a cooler.

I’m talking powdered items that come to life with a little water, for example, Powdered Milk – If mixed correctly, your kids can’t tell that you’re using powdered milk instead of fresh milk in the cereal. Just be aware, once reconstituted, the milk has to be refrigerated. So be sure to make just what you need or you’ll be cooling it anyway. But you can definitely store it in smaller glass containers and it will take up less space in the cooler, so it is still a great alternative!

READ MORE: All about keeping foods cold when camping without a refrigerator here.

How will you cook breakfast?

The next challenge is the cooking. It’s likely that you are cooking over an open fire, on a camp stove, or on a single butane burner (because, remember, if you have the luxury of all amenities in an RV, you’re skipping this section).

A campfire will allow everyone to cook their own food as they like it. Pop some toast in a toaster basket and throw it over the flame for a few minutes and it’s done. Easy peasy. There are also lots of foil-wrapped meals that can be cooked in the hot coals.

The downside to a campfire is that the heat can be inconsistent and if your wood is wet, you are out of luck. Keeping a fire going can be a challenge, so make sure you’re up for it! And, in the morning, some campers don’t enjoy waiting the time needed to get the fire going properly for cooking.

A camp stove is a great way to have more consistent cooking capabilities. With two burners, you can heat more than one thing at once, which will make a meal take shape much quicker. It also has a natural enclosure which will help keep wind from killing the flame.

The downside to a camp stove is that they tend to be rather large and cumbersome plus they require fuel which you will have to purchase separately. While they are safer in terms of starting fires in the wilderness, they aren’t nearly as cozy and nostalgic as drinking your coffee by the campfire. 

A single butane burner will be lighter in weight, for sure, but be sure to purchase a wind screen, too. Nothing kills breakfast quicker than a burner that won’t stay lit.

What are some no cook camping breakfast meal ideas?

As mentioned above, cereal, granola, yogurt, fruit (fresh and dried), and bagels with peanut butter are great options.

What breakfast ideas have more protein?

Eggs, Greek yogurt, hard cheese, meats, and some milk powders will have a full serving of protein. You can also increase the protein content of breakfast by adding seeds and nuts to the top of your toast, yogurt, oatmeal.

What is a good breakfast protein beside eggs?

Here are some ways and examples of high protein breakfast food ideas:

• Find heartier breads with a higher protein count (look at whole grains and sprouted wheat options), then spread them with nut butters and a sprinkling of seeds and nuts on top
• Greek yogurt (check the protein content), top it with seeds and nuts (chia, pumpkin, almond, shredded coconut, etc.)
• Sprinkle granola, extra seeds and nuts on top of your chopped fresh fruit
• Add a few slices of hard cheese to your breakfast
• Make ahead sandwiches or wraps with cooked turkey or chicken, cheese, and avocado
• Cook up some breakfast meats: bacon, sausage, ham
• Have a few pieces of beef jerky with your morning meal
• Prepare a batch of your favourite protein balls
• Bring along some granola bars higher in protein. Clif bars (chocolate chip or fudge) are our favourite !

I hope you have found some helpful tips and tasty and easy breakfast ideas to try on your next camping trip. Happy camping (and eating)!

Camping Sandwiches

Overnight Oats

Oatmeal is a great food to have for breakfast while camping, especially if you plan on engaging in physical activities throughout the rest of the day.

This list is packed with my go-to camp breakfast recipes that are both easy and delicious! Mornings at camp are all about relaxing in the sunshine with a hot cup of coffee, right? This blog post will help you do just that!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclaimer here.  

These are my favorite camp breakfast ideas for lazy mornings including plenty of no-cook camping breakfast ideas and a few one-pot camping meals.

Let’s dive into the list!

Camping Breakfast Recipes

1. scrambled eggs with toast.

This is a classic breakfast no matter where you are! When camping, all you need to do is scramble some eggs in a pan, toast some bread, and you have a complete meal. I like to saute veggies like spinach, peppers, onion, and mushrooms to add to the eggs, along with some cheese. Bacon is another great addition to this meal. To make things easier, you can cook the bacon ahead of time at home and then chop it up and mix it in with the eggs at camp.

2. The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

This really is the ultimate breakfast sandwich – fried egg, melted cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions … what could be better? This meal can be made with one pan!

RECIPE >> Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

This is the perfect no-cook camping breakfast. Simply pack your favorite cereal in your pantry food bin and some milk in the cooler. All you have to do at camp is find a bowl to eat out of.

4. Yogurt with Granola

This is another no-cook camp breakfast idea. For this meal, you’ll need to pack your favorite yogurt in the cooler. I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt. Lastly, pack some granola and honey with the rest of your food and all you have to do at camp is assemble. Fresh berries also go great on this breakfast.

5. Pancakes

Pancakes are so easy to make while camping, and they’re great for feeding a large group of hungry campers! My favorite pancake mixes are the ones that have a little extra protein like these Kodiak Cakes.

Don’t forget to pack the maple syrup and butter!

• Try these Toasted Coconut Strawberry pancakes on your next trip…
• Or try these easy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes for the fall months!

6. Bagel with Cream Cheese

This is another easy no-cook breakfast option that’s great for a large group. Simply pack your favorite bagels , along with some cream cheese in the cooler. My dream bagel combo is an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. Yum!

7. French Toast

Who doesn’t love french toast? It’s a breakfast that I remember making all the time when I was a kid and just learning to cook. Classic french toast is always delicious and all you need to pack for that is eggs, milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup .

8. Breakfast Burritos

When Nick and I first started dating, the breakfast burrito was the first thing he ever cooked for me while camping. We once spent an entire week camping in the desert making breakfast burritos every single day and it was awesome! These burritos have all the classics such as eggs, cheese, and hot sauce, but they also have some extras like kale and avocado which really take these burritos to the next level.

RECIPE >> Nicks Famous Sausage Breakfast Burritos

9. Breakfast Tacos

If you want to elevate scrambled eggs, making breakfast tacos is the way to go! These tacos are packed with peppers, onion, avocado, cheese, and they’re completely customizable.

10. Oatmeal with Fruit and Nuts

When you cook oatmeal over a camp stove with some milk, honey and cinnamon, you get something so comforting and filling. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, maple syrup, coconut … whatever you desire! The combinations are endless. This is a really affordable camp breakfast that will definitely feed a crowd.

RECIPE >> 3 Delicious Backpacking or Camping Oatmeal Recipes

11. Breakfast Quesadillas

Quesadillas aren’t just for dinner anymore! If you’ve never made a breakfast quesadilla before, all you need are eggs, cheese, and veggies or meat of your choice. I love a combination of peppers, onions, bacon, and/or sausage. Use a nice sharp cheddar cheese for the most delicious breakfast!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★   5 from 1 reviews

Aside from tents and bonfires, the food is what makes a camping trip memorable. These camping breakfast ideas, in particular, will make your trip that much more memorable.

There’s something truly special about gathering around a campfire with family and friends. But without the food, the experience isn’t as memorable!

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for the best camping breakfast ideas to make for your upcoming trip.

Pancakes are ideal for feeding a large group because they are simple to prepare, quick to cook, can be prepared in an assembly line format and kept warm until serving… and… they are inexpensive!

3. MUFFIN TIN CAMPFIRE EGGS

Setting up an ingredient bar and allowing each camper to make their own meal is one of my favorite ways to feed large groups. Making one-of-a-kind creations is a lot of fun. Because these muffin tin eggs are more of a process than a recipe, you can easily adapt them to whatever size crowd you’re serving.

4. MOUNTAIN MAN BREAKFAST

This hearty and filling Dutch oven breakfast casserole is a family favorite . After trying other recipes and being disappointed because they were too dry or too potato-heavy, I developed my own version that is cheesier, meatier, and moisture, with a slightly spicy hint from southwestern-inspired ingredients.

Oatmeal is a great camping breakfast if you’re looking for something sweet but still healthy . Oats are high in antioxidants and extremely filling.

Just because you’re making a camping breakfast, doesn’t mean that you need to spend a ton of time behind a griddle, or get up extra early to start your family campfire.  These easy kid-friendly camping breakfasts are our go-to when we’re camping with the kids and have a busy day ahead of us.  You’ll love these no-cook camping breakfast ideas that don’t require any cooking.

Yogurt Parfait Bar

This no cook family camping breakfast can be as easy or complicated as you make it.  This is the camping breakfast that I usually grab when we’re in a rush.  It doesn’t take much to make this a little extra special.  

Before we head out, we grab a small container of yogurt in everyone’s favorite flavor.  Top with granola, and then add berries or sliced fruit, and a few fun toppings (coconut and sliced nuts are our favorite for camping parfaits).  

The toppings that we put on our yogurt parfaits, also would work great for an oatmeal bar, so bring all the toppings and get 2 breakfasts out of your prep work.

Bagel and Cream Cheese

This is hands down the easiest no cook camping breakfast out there.  It takes just a minute to prepare and is easy to eat on the go.  My favorite thing about this no cook camping breakfast is that it’s NOT MESSY, so I can easily feed it to my kids in the car if we’re headed for a super early hike or adventure.  To simplify making bagels while camping, we always buy the tub of spreadable cream cheese instead of the packets, since the tub makes it so much easier to store the leftovers.

While it’s tempting to just grab a stack of bagels from the grocery store, splurge a bit and get bagels made in a bakery.  It’s only going to cost a couple dollars more, but the taste is 10 times better.  Bagels are also great for sandwiches on the go at lunch time, since they’re much sturdier than sandwich bread. We’ll almost always choose bagel sandwiches for lunch instead of sandwiches made with bread that smashes too easily.

Boiled Eggs and Fruit

Boiled eggs are the perfect camping breakfast for families to make ahead and eat while camping.  Boiled eggs will stay good for a week if kept cold in the fridge or cooler, so they’re an easy no cook camping breakfast.  Pair them with some fruit (we love these no sugar added fruit cups ) for an easy breakfast while camping.  

Just because you’re camping doesn’t mean you can’t have the easiest breakfast ever.  Cereal is the easiest camping breakfast for groups, so plan on having this on days where you just don’t want to get up early and cook or when you have to feed a crowd.  Since cereal is notorious for lacking in nutrients, add a side of fruit or yogurt, so that your family has plenty of energy for the day.

Easy Hot Camping Breakfasts

Create your own oatmeal bar.

Oatmeal is one of my favorite camping breakfasts since it’s so versatile, and is a hot camping breakfast that you can make super quick.  Ditch the instant oatmeal packets, and instead make a healthier camping oatmeal by cooking your oats from scratch (it’s really just oats and water and a dash of salt – SO EASY).  We prefer Old Fashioned Oats since they have a thicker texture.  Bring a variety of toppings so that everyone can customize their camping oatmeal, just the way they like it.  This is hands down the easiest camping breakfast if you’re feeding a crowd (or a large family, like we have).  As an added bonus, with a camping oatmeal bar, everyone can get their oatmeal just the way they like it, so you’ll hear less complaining about what you made!

Here are some of our favorite camping oats toppings (store these in small Tupperware or plastic bags to easily save them for your next camping meal:

• Dried or fresh fruit
• Brown sugar
• Peanut butter

If you want to pack a bit of protein into your meal, add a scoop of protein powder to the bowl (we always do this on days we’re going to be super active!). This is an easy camping breakfast idea that packs a punch and doesn’t take much time to prep.

Easy Camping Pancakes

Pancakes are my kids’ love language.  The amount of pancakes they can eat would shock you, and I know that if I want to make our camping breakfast extra special, pancakes are the way to their heart.  If you’re going to be making pancakes while camping, this griddle will probably save your life, so grab it in advance.  Cooking pancakes with a frying pan will take significantly longer than on a griddle where you can cook several at a time.

When we go camping with kids, we always use Kodiak Cakes since they’re packed full of protein.  I also love that they’re super easy to make and all you need is to add water to the mix! To add a little something extra to this camping breakfast, top with peanut butter and maple syrup, for extra protein and energy, and make your camping breakfast special with a mound of whipped cream on the top.

If you’re planning to make pancakes while camping, don’t forget the cooking spray and a good pancake turner or you may end up with a disaster on your hands!

Easy Breakfast Skillet Scramble

While my kids love pancakes, my husband is the most happy when we have a more substantial camping breakfast.  I know that if I get up early and make a breakfast scramble, he’s going to be happy for the rest of the day and will usually be willing to help with all the random camp chores I need help with!  

To make your camping scramble extra easy, buy everything pre chopped and all your meats precooked.  Here’s what you need:

• Potatoes (hash browns)
• Red or green peppers
• Meat (bacon, sausage or ham)

Cook your potatoes and peppers in your skillet first until both are soft. Add your eggs for scrambled eggs, and when they’re getting close to finished, add in the meat (it’s precooked so you’re just warming it up).  Top with shredded cheese.

Easy Breakfast Burritos for Camping

Breakfast burritos may sound complicated, but it’s one of our go-to easy camping meal ideas.  You know that breakfast scramble that I just mentioned, it’s also the secret sauce to your camping breakfast burritos.  Cook the exact same meal with scrambled eggs, but put it inside of a tortilla, and add some salsa verde to the inside.  If you like a bit more mexican flavor, add a can of diced green chilis to the skillet as you cook.  Serve with a side of guacamole and sour cream.

No-Mess French Toast Sticks

I love making french toast when we’re camping with kids, and making french toast sticks makes it even easier.  Cut your bread into 4 slices lengthwise, and dip in your egg and milk mixture.  Cook on the griddle until both sides are browned, and then serve.  My kids are so obsessed with getting to dunk their french toast sticks into their toppings.  Since syrup can get super messy for kids to dunk, try giving them some yogurt or whipped cream to dip their camping french toast sticks into.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

While your kids may think of their brown bag school lunches, a PB&J Sandwich is such an easy camping breakfast. Use a whole grain bread and a natural peanut butter to limit the sugar and pack in the nutrients. If you have kids who like to be independent (or you just want to sleep in a little more), this is an easy camping breakfast that kids can make alone.

Easy camping breakfast ideas for your next camping trip. 23 Breakfast meal ideas your family will love all while keeping simplicity in mind.

Coffee- check

Creamer- check.

It may not seem like a big deal trying to pack food for a camping trip, but depending on where you go and for how long, it can be.

Not every place we camp has a store nearby to pick up a few odds and ends we may have forgotten, and of course missing a few things in the long run doesn’t really matter.

Everyone will still eat and have fun running around outside by the lake.

But it’s still nice to make sure you have the coffee.

When it comes to camping you have to use what little space you have, wisely. That means not bringing everything in the house, but sticking to a specific list.

When it comes to cooking and meal plans my mind can go blank once I enter the grocery store! It’s too easy to get sidetracked. So every camping trip we come up with a meal plan-and we stick to it.

It helps us stay organized and try new things without overpacking and over spending. But sometimes my family needs options to choose from.

Like a mom’s breakfast menu. They’d be happy to help pick a few things out but asking with no suggestions leads to a lot of “ I don’t know .”

The Importance of Camping Breakfast

Breakfast is undoubtedly one of the most important meals of the day, and this is especially true when you're having outdoor adventures like camping. Everyone camping together can prepare breakfast over a campfire with music by their side.

However, camping breakfast often involves creativity because of the limited resources and cooking equipment. This leads to experimenting with different recipes and cooking methods, adding fun to the camping trip.

10 Quick & Easy Camping Breakfast Ideas

Camping mornings are more about relaxing in the outdoor campsite with a hot cup of coffee and less about trying and testing different cuisines. Thankfully, there are many quick and easy camping breakfast ideas  that you can try so you can spend time enjoying the family. Here is a list of the best camping breakfast ideas that are both easy and delicious.

1. Veggie Frittata

A veggie frittata might sound like a fancy name, but it's a simple camping breakfast idea. It is like a crust-less quiche made by scrambling eggs together with plenty of veggies.

2. Blueberry Bran Muffins

If you're looking for a healthy breakfast in the morning, try the blueberry bran muffins. They are partly sweetened by honey and provide a healthy amount of fiber from wheat bran, which makes the camping breakfast idea healthier.

3. Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a classic camping breakfast that includes a mix of onions, spinach, peppers, and mushrooms for a nutritious boost. You can also add pre-cooked bacon or sausage for extra sizzle. When bringing eggs to the campsite, pack them in a hard shell case or a sealed container to avoid breakage during traveling.

4. Breakfast Burritos

A hearty breakfast burrito is incredibly on-the-go eating and perfect to grab and hit the hiking trails. It typically packs scrambled eggs, kale, avocado, and cheese. You can pair the burrito with a hot coffee mug to enjoy a satisfying meal in the morning.

5. French Toast

A cozy campfire paired with French toast is an ideal camping breakfast idea. It involves dunking bread in a sweet mix of milk, cinnamon, and eggs. The bread is then fried until the blend becomes golden. If you want to make breakfast more delicious, consider adding some maple syrup to the toast. If you have kids with you, add some whipped cream on top of their French toast.

6. Overnight Oats

Oatmeal is one of the best and easiest camping breakfast ideas that will keep you energized throughout the day. However, sitting and stirring an oatmeal pot over the campfire can be time-consuming. That's where overnight oats come into play. To prepare this, put the ingredients into spill-proof jars to get a creamy, filling breakfast.

7. Campfire Hash

A healthy breakfast like a campfire hush is something you would definitely love before a big day of fishing, hiking, or simply enjoying the wilderness. It requires fewer ingredients and can easily be prepared without any fuss.

8. Yogurt & Granola Bowl

If you want to go ahead with something simple, try the yogurt and granola bowl. It requires no cooking or fuss—just assemble and get ready to enjoy a nutritious start. The perfect pick-me-up breakfast is an excellent option for outdoors, offering maximum energy and minimal delay.

9. Breakfast Sandwich

The ultimate breakfast sandwich is easy to prepare and does not require a lot of ingredients. All you need to do is pile a fried egg, crispy bacon, gooey melted cheddar, and some green onions or tomato between the two slices of toasted bread. The one-pan masterpiece is delicious and convenient.

10. Pancakes  

There is nothing that beats the fluffy, golden, and homemade pancakes. You can try them with butter, maple syrup, jam, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce. If you want to make things easier, consider preparing and carrying the mix to the campsite beforehand.

How to Make Camping Breakfast Outdoors

If you're planning to camp outdoors for the first time and are confused about how to make camping breakfast  outdoors, it's essential to understand the challenges and find ways to overcome them. Here are some of the best outdoor cooking tips that will benefit anyone planning a camping trip in the woods.

Prepare Ingredients in Advance

Before packing bags and heading out, it's recommended to prepare ingredients in advance to simplify the outdoor cooking experience. One important thing to understand is that many variables impact how well food is cooked outdoors. You can always start with a pre-planned menu and prepare and portion ingredients before leaving.

Set Up a Proper Outdoor Cooking Space

You'll need a proper outdoor cooking space to cook delicious camping food. Instead of preparing the cooking space anywhere in the woods, pick a covered area to keep the rain off your head.

Cook in a Dutch Oven or Electric Grill

Instead of cooking over coals, beginners should prepare camping foods in a Dutch oven and electric grills. These appliances make the cooking process simple by controlling the temperature using advanced techniques.

You can also carry other cooking equipment, such as electric grills, microwaves, toasters, blenders, portable coffee makers, etc., to the camping trip to ensure you can enjoy delicious foods even in remote locations.

Start with Easy Recipes

Camping breakfast ideas range from easy to complex. If you're just starting out, it's highly advisable to start with easy recipes that involve minimum ingredients and less effort. For example, you can consider tossing a bunch of fresh ingredients into the electric oven and letting it cook over time.

Be Prepared For Bad Weather

Weather patterns can change when cooking outdoors, so it's essential to prepare for varying conditions, such as rain, snow, wind, humidity, and cold. You should also keep some snacks prepared for unpredictable weather that might delay or prevent cooking outdoors.

Alternatively, you can bring electric cooking equipment like microwaves and toasters to prepare food at the campsite. Jackery Solar Generators are designed to charge essential cooking appliances indoors or outdoors. They do not emit toxic fumes or gases, making these portable power stations ideal for indoor use.

Outdoor Cooking Safety Tips

Outdoor cooking is undoubtedly a favorite activity for many. However, it is important to prioritize safety to ensure no accidents happen and you enjoy a successful cookout. Here are some of the crucial outdoor cooking safety tips to keep in mind:

Choose Safe Grilling Location:  You should avoid cooking near flammable objects, such as shrubs, trees, and structures. The grill should be placed in an open area at least 10 feet away from the house, camp, or any combustible surfaces.

Keep a Fire Extinguisher Ready : There can be emergencies, so you'll need to have a fire extinguisher ready. In addition, make sure you know how to use it properly.

Use Protective Gear and Proper Utensils: When grilling your favorite food outdoors, carry long-handled tools, gloves, and heat-resistant mitts. The gear will protect you from burns, and the utensils will ensure proper food handling.

Invest in Solar Energy : Instead of cooking food on flames, consider investing in solar generators. The Jackery Solar Generators are ideal for charging cooking or cooling appliances to ensure you remain comfortable outdoors. They are portable and can be carried to outdoor locations without any additional effort.

Camping Breakfast Ideas FAQs

What size of solar generator do i need for cooking outdoors.

The actual size of the solar generator needed  for cooking equipment will depend on the total wattage of the appliances you want to charge and the number of cooking hours. Additionally, you'll need to choose a solar generator that combines portability and functionality.

Let's say you're camping in a remote location and want to charge a microwave (1100W), coffee maker (550W), and portable fan (50W) at the same time using the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus. The working hours can be easily calculated using the formula:

Working Hours = Battery Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Appliances = 2042.8Wh × 0.85 ÷ 1700W = 1.0H

Note : The 0.85 is the power conversion factor, which represents the power loss that occurs when charging the appliances.

What is the most common camping food?

The most common camping foods include bread, tortillas, sausage, cheese, nut butter, crackers, beef jerky, potatoes, chili, granola bars, fruit leather, popcorn, cookies, and more.

How to cook eggs while camping?

If you want to cook eggs while camping, you can prepare a garbage omelet. First, crack and whisk 4-5 eggs into a bowl, and then add a few tablespoons of water, salt, and pepper for taste. Then, melt butter in the cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the egg mixture. Cook and stir it well, followed by transferring the mixture to a bowl. You can add the leftovers and cook them until the eggs look fluffy.

What food to take camping without a fridge?

Some camping foods that do not require refrigeration include dehydrated meals, canned foods, dried fruits, hard cheeses, nuts, and whole-grain cereals.

What food to bring camping for 3 days?

The best three-day camping breakfast  includes peanut butter oatmeal, a breakfast burrito in a bag, and homemade granola with oat milk. Some lunch options include salad in a stasher, a vegetarian chickpea salad sandwich, and a taco in a bag. If you are carrying a camp stove to the outdoor location, consider hot dogs or veggie dogs, campfire nachos, and grain bowls for dinner.

Carry on camping without the burned sausages and ultra processed food - Nutrition

H itting the road and travelling light, there is nothing like getting back to nature and sleeping under the stars – or at least under canvas or in the comfort of a camper van.

There is more to camp food than noodles and hot dogs. It doesn’t have to mean a diet of burnt sausages and ultra processed food.

It makes more sense to eat healthy, wholefood than packaged processed junk when we are on an adventure in the great outdoors - better for us and better for the planet. Not only is it healthier (and tastier), but there is a lot less plastic, rubbish and food waste.

If you are packing up your tent, or hitting the road in your camper van, I have some easy and healthy ideas that don’t need too much prep, cooking or washing up, but that are packed with flavour and nutrition to make sure you come back from your camping trip feeling well fed and nourished.

Shake up your wake up and eat something different on your next camping trip. Enjoy the time to have a more leisurely breakfast with some of these healthy options:

• Bircher muesli – this is another name for overnight oats. Before you hit the road, pack a jar with a mixture of oats, and any nuts and seeds you like. Then simply pop a portion into a bowl or jar with a lid, add some grated apple or any of your favourite fruit and cover with milk overnight. The next morning you will have a creamy, tasty and healthy breakfast to enjoy.
• Eggs are always a favourite breakfast, but to mix things up a bit, how about some French toast with strawberries and Greek yoghurt?
• Smoky beans.
• Peaches and cottage cheese on toast – quick, easy, tasty and packed with protein and slow-release carbs to fuel your morning adventures.
• Greek yoghurt and summer berries with low sugar granola – a no fuss, simple and healthy breakfast.
• Wraps are always a favourite, but if you are on a mission to eat fewer ultra processed foods, then check the ingredients label. You are looking for as few ingredients as possible. I like Piadina flatbreads – flour, olive oil and salt are the only ingredients in this one.
• Salad jars – layer up with pasta, rice or couscous, a salad dressing, some shredded, chopped, sliced and diced veggies and top with your favourite protein, or serve with some barbecue leftovers.
• A picnic lunch of raw veg sticks, falafels, houmous, cheese and pitta pockets, wraps or oatcakes works well.

If you need fuel for hiking and biking, there are plenty of healthy snack options for your outdoor adventure.

• Trail mix – little packs of nuts, seeds and dried fruit are handy and easy to carry.
• Nairn’s fruit and seed oat biscuits come in little packs of three - perfect for a snack on the trails.
• Fruit and seed bars – Nakd and Graze make decent ones, or make a batch of your own favourite flapjack recipe.
• Fruit is nature’s perfect snack food, of course.

It wouldn’t be a camping trip without a barbecue or two.

Spark up the grill and pile on the veggies. You can grill just about any vegetable. Here are some of my favourites:

• Sweet potato – wrap in foil and put straight on the coals, or cut into rounds and pop it on the grill.
• Aubergine and courgette – as soon as they come off the grill, put them into a bowl and mix with a handful of chopped parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice and one clove or raw garlic, grated or finely chopped. Add some salt and pepper and you are good to go.
• Veggie kebabs with red onion, mushroom, cherry tomatoes, peppers and halloumi.

…and for your protein:

• For a veggie option, you can’t beat halloumi on the grill.
• Marinate chicken with lemon, herbs, olive oil and garlic.
• Steak simply cooked with garlic and seasoning.
• Fish makes for a healthy barbecue – cook with plenty of herbs and serve with a squeeze of lemon - delicious.
