Camp Cooking Tips For Big Crowds

Camp Cooking Tips For Big Crowds

May 25, 2022

There's nothing better than gathering around the campfire to enjoy a meal cooked over briquettes after a long day of trekking. Meals taste so much better when you're surrounded by good company amidst the mesmerizing nature and the refreshing clean air.

However, even if you're a seasoned chef, the thought of churning out food for big crowds can be overwhelming. Cooking for a large camping group is fairly different from prepping meals for a handful of people in your home kitchen. Fortunately, the task doesn't have to be complicated. You no longer need to carry a truckload of outdoor cooking equipment either.

Here are CampMaid's special tips and tricks to inspire you as you get started on planning and prepping for an easy and enjoyable camping meals menu for a bunch of hungry campers.

#1 Prep Beforehand

Prep as many things, like mixing dry ingredients, marinating, and more, as you can to help your camping trip go as smoothly as possible. Many of the best camping recipes can be prepped before you leave your house. For instance, if you've planned a pancake party for breakfast one morning, make the batter a few days earlier. Pack it in a cooler and take it along with you to the campsite. Use CampMaid's Dutch oven's lid by turning it upside down to make it a griddle, spoon out the batter, and see how your group flocks to the campfire for some delicious pancakes!

#2 Ask Around About Food Allergies

Before you plan out a meticulous menu, make sure to check with the campers about any dietary preferences or food allergies. The last thing you want is to discover someone in the group can't eat the meal you prepared wholeheartedly in the cast Dutch oven. Just to be safe, try to plan meals free from ingredients that cause common allergies like soybean or peanuts. It's also a good idea to bring food alternatives like gluten-free variants so that in case someone forgot to inform you about their allergy; they'll still have something safe to eat.

#3 Remember to Bring Dinnerware

It's an easy and classic mistake! Imagine if everyone arrives at the campsite, helps set up the camp and outdoor cooking equipment, you start making dinner, and suddenly it hits you: no one remembered to bring silverware or plates! Make use of the resourceful Explore Adventure Planner, Our Family Adventure, and Plan My Roadtrip camping adventure planners by CampMaid to ensure nothing is left behind. It's also an excellent idea to order CampMaid's Multi-Purpose Utensil Set Of Four With Carry Bags for everyone on board. It's a lightweight, handy, multi-purpose camping utensil that's great for reaching hard-to-open freeze bags. The fork-chopstick-knife combo makes it easy to enjoy the meals hygienically. It's better than adding to the plastic crisis by using disposable cups, plates, and cutlery.

#4 Plan Menus Daily

The last thing you want to be stuck doing while camping is coming up with meals at the moment. Camping with your loved one can be a retroactive and restful experience. Try making the most of it rather than juggling multiple inputs and opinions. Plan out daily menus ahead of time to simplify the trip. This will also help streamline meal prep and cooking.

Be it an intimate camping trip or one with huge crowds, add convenience and relaxation to your life by choosing outdoor cooking essentials by CampMaid. We're a Utah-based innovative outdoor cooking equipment business offering a range of cast-iron grill accessories for cast Dutch ovens.

From charcoal holder for campmaid to lodge lid lifter, kickstands, and collapsible charcoal chimney, we've got it all. We also house top-notch Dutch oven sets with accessories to turn into glorious griddles, portable charcoal grills, steamers, and more.
