Many of these keto camping food ideas don’t require a lot of prep work. Whenever we are travelling in the great outdoors I like to keep things as simple on my keto diet. When I began following a ketogenic diet I set out to find as many keto friendly meal options as I could to take camping.
Recently I shared a ton of keto camping recipes that we love to use while camping. Today I want to give you an entire listing of keto camping food ideas that you could bring on your next trip.
Planning is key to staying keto!
I keep a grocery list of keto friendly foods saved to my phone at all times for when I go to the grocery store. This makes grabbing items that I need for camping super easy. I simply scan the list and pick up keto friendly snacks and specialty recipe ingredients while I am shopping for next camping trip.
While hot dogs and peanut butter are often camping staples, these easy keto meals take things to the next level. It’s amazing the easy recipes that you can make without added sugar or extra carbs!
More tips for camping meal planning:
- 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 foil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers (affiliate link). These tools help to make clean-up a breeze!
- Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc 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 Cauliflower and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of my favorites.

I have found most of these things at Costco (I freaking love Costco!). If needed I’ll portion each food out into reuseable containers or freezer bags so that they are smaller and easier to pack. Like sour cream, olive oil and instant coffee.
The more preparation I can do at home, the easier our camping life will be! I have also made a number of seriously yummy keto recipes to take with us.
