Mostly on the Grill Weekend Camping Menu

Hey there! We've reached the start of the summer camping season, and I'm excited to announce that I'm here to help make your camping trips a little bit easier. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time camper, I've got you covered with a menu for every one of the 15 weekends in the traditional summer camping season.

These menus are designed to be flexible, ranging from traditional camping fare to nutrition-focused diets like Keto, and some even cater to campers without access to a full kitchen. I've included a variety of meal plans that use different cooking tools, from the Instant Pot to the Blackstone griddle. And if you don't like one of my meal ideas, feel free to customize it with your own family's favorite recipes.

Each menu plan includes four breakfasts, four lunches, four afternoon snacks, and three dinners, making it a full Friday-Monday meal plan for every weekend of the summer. The Friday night dinners are designed to be simple for easy setup at camp, and the Monday breakfasts are easy to pack up since you'll be leaving. Most lunches can be packed up and eaten wherever you are exploring. Best of all, there are very few repeats between all the weeks!

I hope that these menus will make your camping trips more enjoyable for the whole family, allowing you to spend more time together in the great outdoors. You can download this week's menu, and a blank version to print and make your own menu, is also available. Each Wednesday, a new menu will be released for you to download, so sign up for our email list to stay in the loop!
