One thing that is true about camping is, it’s full of fun, adventure and of course us hungry for some freshness. So, we have rounded up some of the best camping snacks for your next camping, so you can munch on while camping, hiking and where ever you need.

What makes a good camping Snack?

 

Room-temperature storage

 

Snacks we are sharing with you can be safely stored at room temperature for few days for sure. Depends on where are you camping. If you are having a cooler or Recreational vehicle, that can safely keep things cold for 24 to 48 hours, it’s fine, you can take snacks that require cold storage. But for this post, we are assuming you are not having a facility of cold storage, no aka cooler.

If they Melt

 

If you are carrying snacks that melt or become soft at room temperature and above, you need to consider. Chocolates, nut butter and coconut oil might be fine with a small ice pack, throughout the day. But these kinds of foods are less ideal while hiking because you don’t want to hike with your sticky fingers.

Minimal packaging

 

For camping minimal packaging is ideal. Nobody wants to bring a lot of mess with themselves in the jungle. So, choose snacks that use minimal packaging. If you are carrying bars or wraps, and you know that they are sticky, then you might need to wrap them individually, so that they could not destroy other things in your backpack.
