Camping with my Crock Pot and Recipes
I survived! This past weekend, this single mom took three kids camping with my son’s Boy Scout Den. Granted, I wasn’t completely alone in the wilderness with them, and I had help setting up the tent. It was definitely a mild version of true camping, but that was exactly what I was looking for. I have camped before, but to be honest, those camping trips included my own private RV. I miss that RV.
Here are the recipes for you to try out!

Camping Tips
Best tip I can give you is get a block of dry ice for your cooler!
Here are also some easy to prepare foods that you can take with you.
sorry, but crock pot cooking isn’t camping.
These are great! I’m so tired of “haters” that get off on declaring one way of camping superior to others. Get a life, hater! Or get out and go camping so you won’t be a grumpy Gus any more! People who camp a lot – whatever their cooking tools of choice – are happier people!
It may not be the most popular way of camp cooking, but it can be, especially if you have a lot of activities packed in to your camping day! I’ve used mine a few times if I have electric on site. Sometimes it’s a blessing to come back from a busy day of outdoor fun and not have to cook, yet there is a hot meal waiting for everyone 🙂
Camping is whatever makes you happy, I absolutely love crock pot cooking while camping. After A busy day full of activities coming back to a good hot meal is so satisfying. We also cook with an electric skillet and on the fire, there is no wrong way, it’s your personal taste. Love your recipes!
