Camping Meals - 4-Day Family Menu Plan

A family camping menu should be:
Prepared quickly and easily.
It requires few ingredients and
These ingredients are easy to store in the field (not subject to damage of spillage, space-hogging).

Here is our family day camping menu planning 4. We have optimized over the years and I'm sure something to tweak your style and needs of the family.

4 days of camping food menu plan

1. Night: Lloyds BBQ Ribs,corn, coleslaw and potato salad

Wrap ribs in heavy-duty foil, heat, open a can of corn and serve with ready-made coleslaw and potato salad. First night is celebration night. You've put up the tent, you've build a campfire, you've unpacked your gear. So kick back and relax. By the way, Costco is my favorite place to get a big tub of potato salad and coleslaw.
