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.

Our camp cooking essentials:

A Pie Iron Camp Cooker 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.
We love these BBQ Cooking Gloves because they make handling campfire food a whole lot safer!

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Create a tin foil 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.

4. 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.

5. Carefully unwrap the packet and serve.

Tips for camping meal preparation:

Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size freezer bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of our favorites.
Use my blank printable meal plan or camping meal plans to help organize your next trip.

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

This recipe is actually a spin off of one of our favorite holiday appetizers, this Four Ingredient Baked Spinach Dip recipe.

Seriously, so good!
