About Camping Food

Although it’s tempting to reach for junk food when you’re charging through the wild, camping food that’s nutritious is better fuel for any outdoor activity. And camping food that’s actually delicious—well, even better.

Shopping for Camping Food

Reading the labels is a good place to start. That’ll quickly help you pick out food with nutritious and/or certified organic ingredients. Then there’s the taste and texture factor. If you’re hungry enough, you can wolf down pretty much anything. But when the views are stunning, you deserve food that matches the beauty of the surroundings…and protects them, too.

Here are a few of our favorite camping foods. If you want to try a bunch at once (which saves on cost), we recommend one of the samplers on this page.

Savory Buffalo Jerky: Deliciously chewy and lean, our jerky is an excellent, low-fat source of protein. Made from 100% grass-fed buffalo (bison) that roam freely across the Great Plains as part of a groundbreaking effort to restore the American prairie.

Organic Spicy Red-Bean Chili: We spike our recipe with three different chiles for layers of heat and flavor: fierce cayenne, smoky chipotle and mellow, toasty aji molido (ground red chile from Argentina). Whole parcooked beans give the chile its robust texture, plant-based protein and fiber.

Mussels Variety Pack: Our plump, savory EU Organic mussels, harvested in northern Spain, are an excellent source of protein, iron and vitamin B-12, with up to 1100 omega-3 fatty acids per serving. They also benefit the entire marine ecosystem that surrounds them, providing habitat for other ocean creatures and cleaning the waters around them as they feed. Our Mussels Variety Pack lets you try all our flavors at once: bright, tangy Lemon Herb, mellow Savory Sofrito or aromatic Smoked.

Wild Salmon: Our sockeye and pink salmon fillets are cold-smoked and then cooked in the pack, making them firm yet moist, with all their nutritious, flavorful oils intact. Both are excellent sources of protein, with up to 950 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per serving. Our salmon is also naturally high in vitamin D (140% of the daily value), a nutrient that helps reduce inflammation and regulates calcium absorption.

Our camping foods can be eaten or prepared straight from the pack without additional ingredients, except boiling water in the case of our soups. If you have a bit more time, try them in these quick, easy recipes, and visit our Camping Recipes page for more ways to cook ‘em up.
