Delicious Nut Free Camping Food!

Are you allergic to peanuts or any nuts? Are you feeling uninspired about camping food? I’ve got you covered with an amazing list of nut free camping food that will get you excited to eat!

Last week, I went camping with a small group of individuals. Most camping lists include a lot of granola, peanut  butter, and other things that have tree nuts in them. Luckily, my friend has had many years of experience figuring out what he can eat. We were able to have plenty of delicious food and it didn’t feel like we were missing out.

I have created a list of foods that are not only nut free, but are also great foods for camping. When going camping it’s important to find items that are non-perishable and that are easy to cook over a fire. Below is a comprehensive list of items that are great fuel and are nut free.

Drinks

• Beers – Bring a few drinks to have at night with your friends. Although if you don’t have a cooler, then you’ll have to have warm beer.

• Water – Unless you plan on packing purification tablets, you will need to pack plenty of water for your trip.

Cooler Items

• Hamburgers – Just put these on a grill over the fire. We froze ours before we left so that they would stay good for longer. 
• Hot dogs – Put these on a stick and you can roast them over the fire. I love a good hot dog!

Miscellaneous

• Oil – You will need this if you are using a grill for any food or to season things. 
• Ketchup, Mustard, Relish – You can’t forget your condiments to make sandwiches more flavorful. 
• Salt and Pepper – A staple for making any meals during your trip. 
• Aluminum foil – I know this isn’t a food, but foil is great for camping. You can cook things in the foil, use it to place things on top, or pack sandwiches for the day.
