The Best Campfire Meals for Glamping: Easy, Delicious & Perfect for the Outdoors
When it comes to glamping, we’re not talking about instant noodles and tinned beans (unless you really want to). One of the perks of camping with a bit more comfort—real beds, proper lighting, and maybe even a kitchen area—is that you can level up your food too.
Here are some of the best campfire meals for glamping—simple enough to cook outdoors, but tasty enough to make your weekend feel like a proper treat.
1. Campfire Halloumi & Veggie Skewers
Perfect for: Quick prep, vegetarian-friendly, minimal clean-upChunky cubes of halloumi, peppers, red onion, courgette, and cherry tomatoes threaded onto skewers and grilled over the fire = pure glamping gold. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with herbs, and enjoy with flatbreads and hummus. Pro tip: prep the skewers at home, wrap in foil, and just pop them on the grill.
2. One-Pot Chorizo & Butterbean Stew
Perfect for: Cosy evenings and minimal washing-upIn a cast iron pot or deep pan, fry chopped chorizo with garlic and onion, then add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a tin of butterbeans, smoked paprika, and a pinch of chilli flakes. Simmer over the fire and serve with crusty bread. It’s smoky, warming, and rustic in the best way.
3. Campfire Nachos
Perfect for: Sharing with friends or kidsLayer tortilla chips, grated cheese, sliced jalapeños, chopped red onion, and beans in a cast-iron pan or foil tray. Cover with foil and place over the fire until the cheese is melted and gooey. Top with guacamole and sour cream. Total crowd-pleaser.
4. Garlic Butter Mushrooms in Foil
Perfect for: A posh side dish or veggie mainToss mushrooms with garlic, butter, thyme, salt, and pepper, then wrap tightly in foil and cook over the coals. The result? Rich, juicy mushrooms that go perfectly with steak, halloumi, or alongside a glass of red wine.
5. Campfire Banoffee Parcels
Perfect for: An indulgent glamping dessertSlice banana lengthways (but leave the peel on), stuff it with chunks of chocolate and spoonfuls of caramel sauce. Wrap in foil and place near the edge of the fire for 10–15 minutes. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or yoghurt if you’re feeling fancy.
Whether you’re gathered around the fire with a glass of wine or tucking in under fairy lights in your bell tent, these meals make outdoor dining feel just a bit more magical. Glamping isn’t about roughing it—it’s about enjoying the best of nature and dinner.
