Our camp cooking essentials:
- A Pie Iron Camp Cooker makes cooking over the open fire super easy. Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration! Or visit my how to use a pie iron post for tips.
- Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide.
- We love this Dutch Oven for making one pot meals and this Coleman camp stove is an easy way to enjoy outdoor cooking.
- These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing! Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors. Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, they melt.
- We love these BBQ Cooking Gloves because they make handling campfire food a whole lot safer!
Make keto sandwiches!
These Low Carb Bagels from Wholesome Yum are perfect for camping! They have a firm, chewy texture which makes them very good for packing into coolers and backpacks AND super yummy!
I love a freshly toasted bagel in the morning. Top with your favorite cream cheese and you have a delish keto meal on the go. The grocery store now has low carb jam without added sugar too.
This Cloud Bread from a Spicy Perspective is a simple, low carb alternative to traditional wraps and breads.
It is airy, light and a great substitution in camping recipes like these Pie Iron Ham and Cheese Cresents,Pie Iron PB&J,Pie Iron Breakfast Bake andPie Iron Nutella & Banana Biscuits.
I made a variation of this amazing looking Cheesy Mushroom Stuffed Chicken from Cafe Delites.Simply prepare the chicken as directed (butterfly, tenderize and stuff) then wrap it in tinfoil, label the foil and put it in the freezer to pack for camping later.
I stuffed my chicken with mushrooms, havarti cheese and a strip of cooked bacon. This was so good thrown onto the BBQ and served with green beans! Another of our favorite keto camping meals for sure.
Bring on the breakfast food!
Most Keto breakfast foods are pretty easy to prepare while camping. Bacon, sausage, ham and all kinds of egg ideas come to mind! But if you want to do a little meal prep before your trip then these Ham & Egg Roll Ups from Delish are just the ticket!
Or you could make these Camping Breakfast Burritos and substitute the traditional wrap for Protein Up, Carb Down ones (found at Walmart). Or what about making these Breakfast Bites and putting them into a freezer bag to pack for camping?
My new favorite thing is this keto camping breakfast skillet recipe. I simply chop and dice the ingredients at home and pack them in a large freezer bag. Then it’s easy to put on them on the grill or over the fire when we are in the great outdoors.
I like to have a few energy bites ready for hiking, bike riding and camping as well. They are perfect as a quick, easy snack on the run but need to be prepared at home.
Keep them in the freezer until you’re ready to pack. I really like these Lemon Balls from Mouthwatering Motivation, they are prefect for keto camping!
These Almond Bites from Mouthwatering Motivation are yummy fat bombs too! You could add protein powder, peanut butter or mct oil to the filling as well.
Tips for camping meal preparation when following keto:
- Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
- Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
- Use foil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers.These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
- Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags (affiliate link) for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
- Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. This Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Keto Buffalo Cauliflower Bake and Keto Foil Packet Fajitas are some of my favorite keto meals.

I have a ton of camping recipes that I plan on simply modifying to be keto friendly this year. Substituting cauliflower for potatoes makes most camping recipes super versatile. And swapping out vegetables for nacho chips still gives you that satisfying crunch without the carbs.
