Camping in BC? Here’s What to Cook Over the Fire (Without the Extra Gear)

Camping in BC? Here’s What to Cook Over the Fire (Without the Extra Gear)

There’s nothing like a British Columbia camping trip: the alpine air, lakeside mornings, and the smell of woodsmoke. Whether you’re pitching a tent in Garibaldi Provincial Park, driving into Golden Ears, or parking your camper near Shuswap Lake, one thing’s always true—campfire meals hit different.


But with limited gear and no fridge, it’s easy to fall back on the same granola bars and canned chili. Here’s how to keep your meals exciting (and easy) with a few key staples—including a secret weapon: ready-to-shake sauces.

 


🔥 1. Foil Packets with Flavor Built In

 

What to pack:

 

 

Why it works:

Just layer your ingredients in foil, season, and place over the fire. When cooked through, top with rehydrated Chimichurri—no chopping herbs, no extra oil bottles needed.


Pro tip: You can find local veggies to use in your packs from vendors like Forstbauer Farm at Trout Lake Farmers Market.

 


 

🌽 2. Campfire Flatbreads with Pizzafy Sauce

 

What to pack:

 

  • Store-bought naan or pita

  • Pre-shredded cheese

  • Veggies or cooked sausage

  • Pizzafy Sauce

 

Why it works:

Spread Pizzafy Sauce on flatbreads, top with your ingredients, and toast on a pan or grill grate over the fire. Melty, smoky, and incredibly satisfying.

 


 

🍗 3. Skewers or Grilled Protein with Mango Habanero Glaze

 

What to pack:

 

 


Why it works:

Shake up the sauce, brush it on while grilling, and serve with rice or tortillas. Sweet heat is a campsite winner—and the dry sachets take no space in your bag.

 


 

🥗 4. Pre-Made Veggie Wraps with Avocado Ranch Drizzle

 

What to pack:

 

 

Why it works:

You can mix the ranch with shelf-stable yogurt or mayo in advance. It’s the creamy finishing touch that turns your wrap into a legit trail meal.
