Food Basics
Pack cereal and milk, pancake mix or instant oatmeal for breakfast. For a simple dinner, pack hot dogs, hamburgers and buns.
Sandwich Items
Purchase bread, peanut butter, jelly, deli meat and cheese for an easy lunch. Sandwiches pack well for bike rides and day trips to the beach.
Beverages and Drinks
Before you go, find out if water is available at your campsite. If not, pack ample water for your drinking, cooking and washing needs. Drink mixes such as Tang, Kool-Aid or electrolyte packets are great for camping.
Condiments
Pack salt, pepper and desired seasonings. Ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard are a must for campfire hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill.
Snack Foods
Granola bars, dried fruit and trail mix make great snacks when camping. Also pack snacks to prepare around the campfire such as graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows for s'mores.
