50 Simple and Tasty Camping Snack Ideas to Fuel Your Next Adventure

I don’t know about your family, but in ours, camp snacks are more important than just about anything else. Rainy day? Trip to the lake? Bored kids? The answer is always snacks.

However, I don’t love having my kids just eat junk all the time. So with a little planning ahead we all snack better and easier.

Our friends at HYDAWAY are making RV life easier with these fantastic collapsible bowls. They fold flat to store easily and keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. With two different sizes and lids, we love having these on hand for snacks. The best part - the 1.5-cup size is perfect for dips!

1. Fruit with􏰀yogurt dip

2. Trail Mix

3. Crackers with􏰀pimento cheese

4. Granola bars - Kodiak bars are our favorite

5. Rice Krispie Treats - for a fun twist substitute 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles for Rice Krispies

6. Tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole

7. Watermelon slices with􏰀Tajin - don’t knock it til you try it

8. Fruit salsa with􏰀cinnamon sugar chips

9. Ice cream sandwiches - we are big fans of this cold treat on a hot day

10. Mixed nuts - I’ll be making this next time

11. Hummus with cucumbers and bell pepper strips

12. Popsicles

13. Smoothies - I like to gather all (or almost all) the ingredients into a Ziplock and freeze it before we leave
