All of these delicious and filling vegan camping meals are perfect to make for your next camping trip! These recipes can be prepped ahead of time, they are delicious eaten warm or cold, and you can make them over a campfire or grill!
My husband has always loved camping and went a lot when he was younger. Me? Not so much. As a kid, I went "camping" in a tent my dad set up in our backyard but that's pretty much it for my experience. I love nature and being outside, but I prefer to sleep inside away from wild animals and mosquitos.
However, he's been hinting that he'd really like to go camping this Spring, so I told him I would give it a try. I've already started planning what food I'm going to bring because food is the best part of camping! Don't you agree? Obviously, vegan s'mores are going to happen, but let's talk about what other hearty and filling vegan meals are easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and are tasty to eat cold or warmed over a campfire!

What an amazing collection! I have bookmarked it and will refer to it whenever I go camping. Here, in FL, we are camping all year round, so this list is very useful.
I love camping! My family of four goes as often as possible. We stay at primitive campsites and really rough it. This weekend, however, my husband and I are going away together for our anniversary and I wanted to try glamping up our campsite for the occasion. Thanks for the ideas. Anything will feel glamorous compared to how we normally camp! Ha
I love that idea! I hope you two have a wonderful anniversary trip together!
OMG, this is such a great idea! I'm not crazy about camping..but I think I would go for this!
U are PRICELESS Stacey!!! I love seeing what u come up with next---Always written so entertainingly and with so much wit.
That's my kind of camping right there! In the backyard with all the necessities haha great post!
Same here! Thanks =)
I LOVE this post! I want to have a GNO now with all my good friends and glam up my yard. Your blog is beautiful! I will definitely be a follower. Xo from a fellow blogger, Ashley
Glamping is such a fabulous time. I really like the looks of those lettuce wraps... made me hungry for some at 10 a.m. lol!

Can't wait to glamp with Derek & Gavin!!!!! Great idea with the white chocolate and dark!!!
Thanks, Kelly! Glamping was so much fun, I miss you! We need to get together soon to catch up!!
Glamping in the backyard looks like an excellent idea! I'll even try that. Haha. It looks like such a fun day/night. And the grilled romaine salad is on my must try list. I've never thought of anything like this before but it sounds delicious!!!
Thank you! It was a really fun activity for us to do together! We both loved it!
I am impressed with your glamping! I don't love camping, but I can occasionally be swayed to go for the promise of smores! That salad looks delish too!
Hahaha, the promise of s'mores sealed the deal for me too!
Stacey, you're making me want to go glamping STAT! Lol this looks so fun! The food looks so delicious! Love your idea of making the tent so glamorous too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you, Iyanna! I can't wait to go again- glamping that is, not camping. Hehe
