When you’re out enjoying the great outdoors, it’s important to make sure you’re still looking after your body and getting all the nutrients and vitamins you need, especially when you’re exposed to the elements. 

Despite the limited resources you have while camping, you can make quality and, more importantly, yummy meals on the go. 

Today, we’re going to give you some of our favourite quick and easy meals to cook on your campfire next time you’re out there exploring our great country.   

1. Campfire Nachos

Who doesn't love nachos? Nachos often feature fresh, vibrant flavours which make them absolutely irresistible for summer and made perfect with a cold beer in hand. 

Even better, nachos can be made with fresh ingredients or pre-packaged canned ingredients.

2. Breaky Burgers

Whether you’ve had a big night around the campfire or need fuel for hiking, breakfast burgers are an easy and quick way to fill up the tank for a big day ahead.

You can make them as simple as you like with just some bacon and eggs or you can stack it high with extras such as tomato, hashbrown, cheese or halloumi. Need another reason to make some?
