Fun and Easy Aluminum Foil Food for Families RVing and Camping

Kids love to cook while camping, and a humble box of aluminum foil is all the camp cooking gear they need. Use these fun and easy foil camping recipes for kids.

The beauty of foil cooking is that kids literally just have to spray with non-stick spray (or you can use non-stick aluminum foil), assemble and fold it closed. Cut up the ingredients at the campground, or even before you leave and keep them all in separate containers in the cooler. It's also ideal to let each child create his or her own foil food, so that each one can get in on the fun. Or let all the kids make a big foil wrap for the family to eat.

Foil Roasted Veggies
If you think kids won't eat vegetables, you might be surprised how they change their minds when the fun of some foil and a campfire are involved. Pick their favorites (they must like a couple, right?) and add a couple others. Give them the diced veggies and the foil, and let them have fun. Place closed foil wrap onto campfire or camping stove, and cook for 30-45 minutes.

Campfire Foil Fries
Spray foil liberally, and spray cut potatoes lightly. Place in center of large piece of foil, and sprinkle seasoning like Old Bay on top. Close and roast over fire or stove for 45 minutes.

Foil Apple Cobbler
Take sheet of foil and spray. Place several diced apples inside, and add granola. For fun, toss in some caramel or peanut butter chips. Close and roast for 20-30 minutes.

Foil Family Pot Roast Dinner
Take a much-needed break from making dinner, and let the kids take charge. Brown some diced beef for them in a pan first, and then let the spread out a couple large aluminum foil squares. Add the beef, some small roasting potatoes and mini carrots. Toss a packet of Lipton onion soup mix, and close. Roast over strong camp fire or stove for 1.5 hours.
