Oo, so many awesome recipes! I’ll definitely have to come back for some of these the next time we head out camping. That clam recipe though – I never would have thought to bring clams camping.

Many people have backyard firepits too and you can cook on those as well! Clams would make it on ice though your first night camping!

What a great roundup of recipes. They all look so tasty. I must go camping with the wrong crowd, we usually have cereal with powdered milk for breakfast, fast food for lunch, and hot dogs for dinner with S’mores for dessert. Nothing ever remotely this tasty. The breakfast pinwheels look amazing.
