I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life. Back when I was growing up, some kids at school thought it was odd, but it’s become much more commonplace now. Despite the fact that my parents were vegetarian and I’d grown up on a vegetarian diet, I never had any vegetarian camping food until I got married.

My husband grew up in a family of campers. He lived minutes from stunning mountains and canyons, and would regularly head up with little notice on weekends. I’ve always really enjoyed the outdoors, so I loved the idea of making camping part of our family culture once we had kids.
Now, nearly 12 years later, we’ve been camping countless times, both with and without kids. We’ve also made countless vegetarian camping meals. Some have been delicious and others…were less so. Some of the vegetarian campfire meals were so good that I want to make them even when we’re not camping. Now THAT is the sign of good vegetarian camping recipes.
It’s also important to me that our camping meals are simple and fast. I have no interest in hanging around the campsite all afternoon getting food prepped when we could instead be out hiking and enjoying nature. I want something that is simple and quick to prepare after returning to the campsite, but still warm, hearty, and filling.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Nonstick pan, camping stove, spatula. You could also use a cast iron skillet or cast iron dutch oven to use over a campfire.
Scrambled eggs (We often scramble our eggs in advance, pour them in a heavy duty Ziploc, and freeze, then thaw before cooking)
Fry eggs. Cut biscuits open like a sandwich and toast on the same pan. Assemble with egg & a slice of cheese.

We keep our lunches simple when camping. We almost always do basic sandwiches like peanut butter and jam. Occasionally, we may cook frozen veggie burgers back at the campsite. Either way, we try to keep the prep as minimal as possible for lunch.
This is our favorite vegetarian chili recipe that’s perfect at home or while camping. It’s super easy to make in the Instant Pot ahead of time. If you prefer to make it at the campsite, I would pre-mix the spices and use canned beans to make it in a dutch oven over the campfire.
We love making this Instant Pot burrito filling in advance and filling tortillas. Then we wrap them in foil, and they’re all set to set over a campfire grill. Perfect and so simple! Make sure you use heavy duty foil so it doesn’t tear.

Amazing Vegetarian Camping Recipes
We recently cooked up a pot of this stove over our campfire in Anza Borrego and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. If you’re looking for something to warm you up on a cold winter’s evening, then this stew is for you!
We cooked this at Borrego Palm Canyon Campground, just outside of Borrego Springs, CA. While we typically seek out free camp spots while camping in the desert, we decided to splurge and pay for an official campsite (that’s right: a picnic table, fire ring, and access to a nearby flushing toilet now constitute “splurging” in our lives). In our former weekend warrior days, we camped at this campground on more than a few occasions, so our stay here felt like visiting an old friend.
During these brisk desert, evenings having a campfire is nice, but having a campfire with a simmering stew on top of it is even better. This particular recipe was inspired by an African Peanut Stew we saw while leafing through the amazing Oh She Glows cookbook.
Vegan Camping Food, Recipe Inspiration & Meal Ideas
We loved the flavors of the original (chunky sweet potato, creamy peanut butter broth, and a smoky chili aroma) but we decided to make a few alterations in order to streamline it for camp cooking. This stripped down version is loaded with all the essentials you need to get that same big flavor without taking up too much room in your cooler.
New Mexico chili powder gives this stew a smokey flavor with just a hint of spice to it. If you use a different chili variety, you may need to scale the measurement back according to your heat preferences.
