20 Easy and Fun Breakfast Ideas for Your Next Camping Trip
Start your morning strong, so you can have fun all day long.
Going camping? We want to make sure you're starting the day off right, whether you're camping in the backyard, roughing it deep in the woods, in your RV or pop-up, or living it up at a high-end glamping site. So gear up on some good camping cookware, and peruse these breakfast recipes. (Here are some camping lunch and dinner recipes, which you may want as well.)
Make-Ahead Whole-Grain Pancake Mix
Pancakes make practically perfect campfire food: You can pre-make (and pack) the dry and wet ingredients separately, then mix them up right when you need them.
Ricotta Pancakes with Roasted Maple Rhubarb and Strawberries
Of course, why make regular old pancakes when you could whip up these moist, fluffy ricotta pancakes, topped with a sweet fruit compote? Serve with a side of bacon for the ultimate treat.
Honey Mustard-Glazed Canadian Bacon
If your fellow campers are fans of honey-mustard, then pack some of this simple glaze, and spread it on some Canadian bacon.
Homemade Maple-Glazed Breakfast Sausage
Homemade sausage is far tastier than the pre-fab variety, and doesn't take much work to mix together.
Parmesan Egg-in-a-Hole
Egg-in-a-hole is a classic camping breakfast. Add a little Parm and some hot sauce, and you've got an easy, unforgettably good meal.
Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
These filling, easy-to-make pinwheels can be whipped up ahead of time, then just unpacked and eaten in the morning! All you need to make is the hot coffee.
Grab-and-Go Cranberry Granola Bars
One of the easiest ways to make sure you've got a hearty breakfast—whether or not you packed the camping stove—is to make sure it's ready to eat before you even get there. These crunchy homemade bars are like a bowlful of granola.
Toasted Many-Seed Granola
Of course if you want an actual bowl full of granola, that works too. This seed-packed recipe has tons of protein, and flavor. For an extra-special treat, pack a thick yogurt and poached rhubarb, and make this entire dish.
Pear and Orange Muffins
Another packable breakfast treat, these muffins keep well, are chock-full of sweet fruit and healthy grains, and will give you plenty of energy.
Honey Nut Cheerio Turnovers
If you're looking for a packable breakfast that's more of a treat, pack a couple of these sweet, homemade, Pop-Tart alternatives to take on your trip.
Cheddar, Bacon, and Chive Quick Bread
Bake this up a night or two before, and wrap it well. Then eat it cold, or toast it over the fire for a warm breakfast treat.

Pack these fruit-filled parfaits into your favorite mason jars so you can simply roll out of the tent, grab them from the cooler, and enjoy.
