Camping food and meals

Fuel for your outdoor pursuits

Mealtimes are important when you’re out on the trail. After long stretches of hiking, a good camping meal packed with essential carbs, sugars and protein will keep you replenished and ready to hit the trail in no time.

Backcountry munches

Here you’ll find hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners that will keep you sated and energized for the day ahead. From creamy pasta dishes to wholesome soups and stews, you’re bound to find a new campsite favourite or two. Unfold your camp chair, bust out your cutlery set and tuck into a meal from backpacking staples like AlpineAire, Backpacker’s Pantry and Mountain House.

Meals for any palate

Got any dietary restrictions you need to stick to? That’s no problem. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, check out Nomad Nutrition for a menu of entirely plant-based options. And lots of their backpacking meals are also gluten free, soy free and nut free, so fretting about food allergies at the trailhead will quickly become a thing of the past.
