What Is Your Favorite Way To Cook At The Campground?

It just ain’t campin’ if you don’t something on the campfire!! We don’t always look forward to roasting hot dogs, but we LOVE HOBOS!! We get a big fire going to get those great coals. And don’t for get the Reynolds Heavy Duty aluminum foil. I also use welding gloves to turn them (they’re cheap at Big Lots). When we prepare our meat we make the pieces bite size so they cook faster – we’ll make small meatballs instead of a hamburger patty, chunk up chicken, pork or beef, or one of my favorites, polish kielbasa cut up into bite sizes. We also like to try different combinations/variations of vegetables too. Again my favorite is some ground chuck meatballs and kielbasa, sliced potatoes w/skins on, some corn cut off the cob, some presliced carrots (a Super Walmart is only 15 minutes away from where we camp), some onion, and some cabbage. When they are done we just open them up and use the foil like our plates – season to taste and my special topping – cottage cheese – I know it might not sound or look good, but I swear adding some cottage cheese to a cooked hobo makes it a Heavenly Hobo!! I agree with David too – it’s as much fun to cook as it is to eat. Our whole family chooses and makes their own hobos. My kids have a blast making and eating them. My problem now is it’s only Monday!! Have a GREAT week!!

Hi! I love camping and a couple of years ago I got a family starter package in a box ,that’s even better than the one Dick’s is offering now. This is what we got in our Package and I’m looking for another one. I got the box that contained a coleman tent for three people. two sleeping bags, a latern, two coleman jugs for drink or water. a camping knife, a carry cooler for drinks,snacks for hiking, a flash light.tent light. The matress and pump we bought at Target on sale. We got more for our money.We got a nice coleman twin propane stove on sale at Target’s. Mary

When we camp I do 99% of the cooking. I use the fireplace, a two burner coleman and a portable coleman propane grill. I do cakes in my dutch oven, as well as stews. Food tastes better camping that’s why I have to walk around the CG so much in order not to gain weight….

My cooking depends on what I’m doing on the camping trip, If it’s just lazing around the campsite I love the campfire. Since most of my camping is just a cheap place to stay while exploring an area, using the tent as a base camp, I’ve got a small propane grill and stove that I do my cooking on. I’ve got an eleven pound propane tank that doesn’t take up as much room as the 20 pound full-sized grill tanks and a 5 pounder I take if it’s just my wife and I.

We have just got a Cobb Premium cooker – works great and very flexible. Have a look at our review here to see how we cooked pizza with it while camping.
Cheers

It aint campin if it’s not on a Coleman stove… lol Seriously, I prefer camping on a coleman stove and of course you have to roast marshmallows with a stick you find at the campground.

Hi, my husband does most of the Camping cooking on the charcoal webber. We also do some cooking over the campfire, especially the Grands bisquits with our Womp ‘Em Sticks. We also just bought our first Dutch Oven and are trying out some new stuff there. Food is always better when your camping, especailly if someone else cooks it for you!!! Happy Trails!

we actuallly use a camp stove and a coleman party grill that is so easy to use and clean. I just bought the coleman oven last fall. we have used that once and plan on using it next week.

We love cooking over the campfire but we find that it does take more time. If we are staying close to camp and hanging in the hammock we tend to do more campfire cooking. Since we do a lot of fall and winter camping, the cooler it is the more likely we are to have a campfire. I learned how to soap a pan a few years ago and now clean-up is much easier.
