The perfect way to wrap up a day of hiking, kayaking, off-roading, or other outdoor adventures is time around the campfire. Take it to the next level by cooking dinner over the open flame. These are a collection of my favorite recipes. I particularly recommend the Down Home Shrimp & Grits! It’s my favorite recipe to prepare for visitors.

Shrimp Kabobs And Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
I had a rare moment of brilliance while provisioning: buy frozen protein for day two so that it will store better. In keeping with my ocean theme, I bought large frozen prawns for skewers, along with zucchini, mushrooms, and red onions.
Salmon, Asparagus, & Quinoa
We are in Washington. We are in a region where even Walmart stocks salmon which was never frozen. So it is only appropriate to cook salmon and fresh berries. For night one, we prepared salmon, asparagus, and quinoa for dinner and blackberry cobbler for desert.
Campfire Cooking Part Deux

After our agonizing experience searching for a camping site near Arches at 5PM, I went ahead and booked our campsites for this trip. Tonight, we lounge in the most remote site within Big Pine Creek Campground—flanked by the titular big pines and less than ten feet from the creek. It is private and enjoys the delightful comfort of white noise from the creek.
