Fun Camping Recipes for Kids
Tacos in a Bag – another fun and easy camping recipe for kids that they can make themselves – with just a little adult supervision.
This camp lunch, or light dinner, is so fun and easy the kids will want to do it on every camping trip. It is a quick camp meal, with almost no clean-up, that your kids will be talking about long after the camping trip is over.
Dump, crunch, and shake
Just watch the fun as the kids dump in their ingredients, crunch, scrunch, and shake to mix, and then dig in. All you need to do is make sure they don’t get carried away with the crunching and shaking. This easy recipe isn’t just delicious – it’s fun too.
The concept is so simple. Each camper spoons the ingredients they want into their individual bags of chips. Then they just scrunch them a little to mix things up and they’re done! Eat with a plastic fork or spoon and toss everything in the trash for easy clean-up.
Note:
A little prep at home can make this a no-cook, fast and easy camp meal. Just cook the hamburger/taco seasoning mix at home, and bring it to camp in a gallon-size Ziploc. (can be served cold at camp, or warmed in a skillet) The vegetable slicing and dicing can also be done at home and brought to camp in Ziplocs. Then it’s just a matter of putting things out for the kids to use.

If you go camping with kids, you should have at least one Pie Iron, (preferably one for each kid), in your camping cookware. They are versatile – you can make anything from grilled cheese sandwiches to instant fruit pies. And they are so safe and easy to use that you can let your young campers make their own fun camping recipes for kids.
Just pop in the ingredients, close, cook over the campfire, and out comes delicious sandwiches, biscuit-dough fruit tarts, or dozens of other camp food choices.

Tip:
With young kids in camp, a portable camp toilet will make your life a lot easier. No interruptions for a long trip to the campsite bathrooms, and no “scary” after-dark trips to the latrine in the woods.
ps. You will be surprised by how convenient and inexpensive portable camp toilets are.
Here are some value-priced portable camp toilets on Amazon.
