We love this campfire spinach dip recipe! Today I have teamed up with a wonderful group of bloggers to bring you the Ultimate List of Camping Ideas. If you love camping then this is the post for you! Be sure to scroll down to the end for links to ALL of our awesome camping posts.
Camping does not have to be all hot dogs and hamburgers as seen with the campfire spinach dip recipe we’re sharing today. We like to include a few of our family favorites when we head out into the great outdoors. This Campfire Spinach Dip is sure to become one of yours!
I often add this recipe to our menu plan when we are camping for a week or longer. It’s a nice break from the traditional camping fare. Served with a sliced baguette of french bread it makes the perfect lunch or light dinner. Creating a tin foil packet to encase the dip in makes cooking and clean up a breeze!
We use tinfoil packets in a lot of our camping meals! Like these tinfoil packet loaded campfire potatoes, tinfoil packet hobo meatloaf, tinfoil packet cheesy fries, tinfoil packet loaded cauliflower and tinfoil packet nacho dip recipes.
How to make Campfire Spinach Dip:
Purchase sour cream, cream cheese, shredded parmesan cheese and frozen spinach. Optionally you can also add: vegetable soup mix, bacon, garlic, mozzarella cheese, green onions, artichoke hearts etc.
Mix all of the ingredients together in a container that can easily be packed to take camping. I like to do this prep work before we travel so that most of the mess is left and cleaned up at home. The flavours especially blend well together when combined and allowed to rest in the refrigerator for four to six hours.
Create a tin foil (aff link) packet by layering two pieces of aluminum foil and placing the dip mixture in the center. A few layers of foil will help to protect the dip from burning and the packet from tearing open.
Roll up the ends of the foil and bake in the campfire {near the hot coals but not in the fire} for 20-25 minutes or until warm and bubbly.
Carefully unwrap the packet and serve.
Our camp cooking essentials:
- Menu planning for camping is something that I always do to stay organized. Grab this free Meal Planner Printable to get started on your next trip.
- A Pie Iron Camp Cooker (aff link) makes cooking over the open fire super easy. Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration! Or visit my how to use a pie iron post for tips.
- Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide.
- These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing! Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors. Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, they melt.
This dip can be kept close to the fire and reheated to stay warm and melty. There are so many ways to alter this recipe to suit your family! We love to add bacon bits. I think that artichoke hearts would be a yummy addition too. Meeting friends or family during your trip? Treat them to this delicious Campfire Spinach Dip and you are sure to WOW them! Okay that sounds cheesy but it’s true. LOL

I am going to try this recipe this weekend but put it in a disposable pie plate covered in foil instead of making a bowl out of foil.

This looks awesome! What a great idea for camping… How many days do you think it would be okay for in the cooler before heating it up?
Heather Painchaud

Made this last on our last camping trip. Rave reviews from all including young kids.
I added a can of diced water chestnuts and two garlic cloves. Made at the campsite and didn’t have a bowl to pre-mix it together. Chopped up the cream cheese and threw it and all other ingredients into a foil pie tin, cooked over fire grate 20 minutes, removed and stirred. Will make this over and over again!
