One of the best parts of camping is cooking outside, and few pieces of camping gear have changed the way we prepare meals at the campground quite like the Blackstone griddle. From classic pancakes and smash burgers to creative pasta dishes, sandwiches, and even desserts, there’s almost no limit to what you can cook on a flat-top griddle.
But here’s the thing: the best campground recipes aren’t necessarily the most elaborate. When we’re camping, we want delicious food that doesn’t require hours of preparation, a complicated ingredient list, or a kitchen full of equipment. We want to feed our families, spend time together, and get back to enjoying the campground.
That’s exactly why we love the recipes from Campin’ Erin, one of our favorite camping and outdoor cooking content creators.
Erin is a Virginia-based RVer who shares campground reviews, camping gear recommendations, hilarious videos about RV life, and plenty of creative Blackstone recipes. She’s also a good friend of The RV Atlas, and we’ve had the opportunity to cook together while filming episodes of Camp Griddlemore.
Erin started cooking on a basic 22-inch Blackstone griddle around 2020, initially thinking it would be something her husband used for the occasional burgers and hot dogs. Instead, she fell in love with outdoor cooking and began experimenting with increasingly creative recipes.
Today, she’s known for making delicious, approachable meals that real families can recreate at home or at the campground.
We invited Erin back to The RV Atlas (check out her previous episode on Virginia state parks right here) to share six of her favorite Blackstone recipes, along with her go-to cooking accessories, favorite campground discoveries, and advice for making outdoor meals easier.
Whether you’re a brand-new Blackstone owner or someone who has been cooking on a griddle for years, there’s something here you’ll want to try on your next camping trip.

1. Chicken Taco Tortellini: A Creamy, Cheesy Blackstone Dinner
Chicken taco tortellini might sound like an unusual combination, but it’s one of Erin’s favorite new recipes. She first made it over the summer and has already returned to it several times.
It’s also been a hit with her followers, many of whom have recreated the dish and shared their enthusiasm.
The combination of seasoned chicken, cheese-filled tortellini, Alfredo sauce, and taco seasoning creates a creamy, flavorful meal that’s easy to prepare on a campground griddle.
Ingredients for Chicken Taco Tortellini
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Refrigerated cheese tortellini
- Taco seasoning
- Alfredo sauce
- Shredded cheese
- Vegetables of your choice
- Water for steaming the tortellini
Erin prefers refrigerated tortellini because the pieces are generally larger and hold up well on the griddle. Frozen tortellini can also work, but she recommends thawing it first.
How to Make Chicken Taco Tortellini on a Blackstone
Start by butterflying the chicken breasts so they’re thinner and cook more evenly. Season the chicken with taco seasoning and place it on the heated Blackstone.
Cook the chicken thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces directly on the griddle using a sturdy scraper or chopping tool. Erin loves this technique because it eliminates the need to transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
Once the chicken is cooked, move it to the side or temporarily remove it from the griddle.
Add the refrigerated tortellini to the cooking surface along with a little water. Cover it with the Blackstone hood or a large basting dome to create steam.
This step is important because the tortellini needs enough moisture and heat to become tender. Jeremy admits that when he first started cooking pasta on his Blackstone, he didn’t steam it long enough. Once he figured out the technique, however, he became a believer.
When the tortellini is tender, add the chicken back to the griddle. Mix in the Alfredo sauce, additional taco seasoning, vegetables, and shredded cheese.
Toss everything together until the sauce is warm, the cheese has melted, and the ingredients are evenly combined.
The result is a rich, cheesy pasta dish with plenty of taco flavor.
Why This Recipe Is Perfect for Camping
This is exactly the kind of dinner we love for a Friday night arrival.
After driving to the campground, setting up the RV, and getting everyone settled, nobody wants to spend an hour preparing dinner.
Chicken taco tortellini comes together quickly and can feed a hungry family without requiring several pots and pans.
It’s also easy to scale up when camping with friends.
Erin makes this recipe on her 22-inch Blackstone, proving that you don’t need a huge griddle to prepare a satisfying family dinner.
2. Walking Tacos: The Ultimate Customizable Campground Meal
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the biggest hits, and walking tacos are a perfect example.
They’re easy to prepare, fun for kids, and ideal for camping with a group because everyone can customize their own meal.
The concept is simple: cook seasoned taco meat, open individual bags of chips, and let everyone add their favorite toppings directly into the bags.
No plates are required, and cleanup is minimal.
Ingredients for Blackstone Walking Tacos
- Ground beef
- Taco seasoning
- Individual bags of chips
- Shredded cheese
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Diced tomatoes
- Beans
- Jalapeños, onions, or other favorite taco toppings
The chip selection is where things get interesting.
Erin prefers Fritos, while Jeremy is a traditional Doritos fan. Their kids sometimes make choices that the adults find questionable, including Cool Ranch Doritos and even Cheetos.
But that’s part of the fun.
How to Make Walking Tacos on a Blackstone
Brown the ground beef directly on the Blackstone, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Add taco seasoning according to the package directions or your preferred recipe.
While the meat cooks, arrange the toppings on a picnic table so everyone can build their own meal.
Open the individual chip bags, gently crush the chips if desired, and add a scoop of seasoned beef.
Finish with cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and any other toppings.
Grab a fork and enjoy.
Why Walking Tacos Work So Well for Families
One of our favorite things about walking tacos is that picky eaters and adventurous eaters can enjoy the same meal.
A child might want nothing more than seasoned beef, shredded cheese, and Doritos.
An adult can load up the same basic ingredients with peppers, onions, jalapeños, salsa, and guacamole.
Everyone gets exactly what they want without requiring separate meals.
Walking tacos are also a terrific choice for camping with another family, hosting friends at your campsite, or feeding a group of kids.
And here’s an important meal-planning tip from Erin: cook extra taco meat and save it for Blackstone nachos later in the weekend.
That simple bit of planning makes another campground meal even easier.
3. Chicken Bacon Ranch Subs: A Fresh and Filling Camping Dinner
Chicken bacon ranch is a classic flavor combination, and Erin’s version transforms it into a hearty sandwich that’s perfect for the campground.
The concept is similar to making a chopped chicken salad and stuffing it into a sub roll or pita.
It’s fresh, flavorful, filling, and easy to customize.
Ingredients for Chicken Bacon Ranch Subs
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Cooked bacon
- Sub rolls or pita bread
- Lettuce
- Shredded cheese
- Ranch dressing
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- Salt, pepper, garlic, or your favorite all-purpose seasoning
How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Subs
Season the chicken breasts with your preferred seasoning blend.
Erin likes keeping this step simple, using an all-purpose seasoning or a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic.
Cook the chicken on the Blackstone until it reaches a safe internal temperature, then chop it into small pieces directly on the griddle.
While the chicken cooks, chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, shredded cheese, cooked bacon, ranch dressing, and chopped chicken.
Add enough ranch to coat everything without making the filling overly wet.
Scoop the mixture into sub rolls or pita pockets.
Finish with tomatoes, onions, or any other toppings your family enjoys.
Erin recommends adding some toppings individually rather than mixing everything together, particularly when cooking for family members who don’t like tomatoes or onions.
The Secret to a Great Chicken Bacon Ranch Pita
Erin has made variations of this recipe using pita bread, but she insists that the quality of the pita makes a huge difference.
Her favorite pitas came from Costco.
Unlike thinner grocery store varieties that can tear when stuffed, these were large, fluffy, and sturdy enough to hold a generous amount of filling.
Jeremy had a funny coincidence to share: Stephanie had recently brought home the very same pitas from Costco, and he immediately made himself a scrambled egg pita sandwich.
The recommendation wasn’t sponsored. They simply agreed that a good pita can make an ordinary sandwich considerably better.
An Easy Friday Night Camping Dinner
This recipe is another excellent option for arrival night.
Jeremy likes dividing campground dinners into two categories: Friday night meals and Saturday night meals.
Friday night dinners should be quick and easy because everyone is arriving, setting up, and getting settled.
Saturday nights offer more time to experiment, prepare a more involved meal, and enjoy cooking outside.
Chicken bacon ranch subs fit perfectly into that Friday night category.
They’re substantial enough to satisfy hungry campers without requiring complicated preparation.
4. Texas Toast French Dips: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Sandwich
Of all the recipes Campin’ Erin shared, this one has a special place in our hearts.
Jeremy and Shawn visited Erin’s home in Virginia to film two episodes of Camp Griddlemore, and one of the recipes they made together was her Texas Toast French Dip sandwiches.
They were absolutely delicious.
In fact, Jeremy has already made them several more times at home.
The combination of buttery garlic Texas toast, warm roast beef, melted provolone, and savory au jus creates a rich, comforting sandwich that’s especially appealing during fall camping season.
And best of all, it’s incredibly easy.
Ingredients for Texas Toast French Dips
- Texas toast
- Sliced roast beef
- Au jus
- Provolone cheese slices
- High Plains Steak Seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped
How to Make Texas Toast French Dips on a Blackstone
- Finely chop fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.
- Pour the au jus into a saucepan and heat on the griddle over high heat until hot. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread the roast beef evenly on the griddle. Sprinkle with High Plains Steak Seasoning and cook until warmed through.
- Transfer the warmed roast beef into the saucepan with the au jus. Stir to coat the meat and keep warm.
- Place Texas toast on the griddle and cook until golden brown. Flip each slice.
- Place one slice of provolone on each piece of toast.
- Add a portion of the roast beef onto each slice of toast, then top with another slice of provolone.
- Cover (dome) the sandwiches to melt the cheese completely.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the sandwiches and serve with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
Erin’s Secret to the Perfect Texas Toast French Dip
One of the most important tips Erin shared is to place a slice of provolone directly on the Texas toast before adding the roast beef.
The cheese creates a barrier between the bread and the meat’s juices, helping prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
Jeremy considers this a pivotal technique: protect the Texas toast!
The second slice of provolone goes on top of the roast beef, and covering the sandwiches with a basting dome helps melt the cheese into a delicious, gooey layer.
Why Texas Toast French Dips Are Perfect for Fall Camping
There’s something especially satisfying about a hot, cheesy sandwich on a chilly evening.
The warm au jus, buttery toast, and melted cheese make this recipe feel like comfort food.
It’s also a great choice when you want something a little more interesting than burgers or hot dogs without spending much more time cooking.
The sandwiches are messy, delicious, and absolutely worth a few extra napkins.
More Ways to Use Texas Toast on the Blackstone
Erin has experimented with several other Texas toast sandwiches, and the possibilities are nearly endless.
One version uses frozen meatballs warmed on the griddle with marinara sauce, then layered onto Texas toast with cheese.
Another features homemade ground chicken meatballs coated in breadcrumbs and smashed on the griddle. Erin tops them with marinara and cheese for a chicken Parmesan-inspired sandwich.
Sloppy Joes are another great option.
The garlicky flavor and sturdy texture of Texas toast make it a surprisingly versatile foundation for all kinds of campground meals.
5. Blackstone Nachos: A Family-Style Dinner with Easy Cleanup
Nachos are another campground classic, but Erin has a particularly clever technique for preparing them on a Blackstone.
Instead of assembling the nachos directly on the griddle, she uses a baking sheet.
It’s a simple trick that makes cooking, serving, and cleanup easier.
Ingredients for Blackstone Nachos
- Tortilla chips
- Cooked, seasoned ground beef
- Shredded cheese
- Beans
- Salsa
- Jalapeños
- Tomatoes
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Any other favorite nacho toppings
You’ll also need a baking sheet that fits comfortably on your griddle and aluminum foil for lining it.
How to Make Nachos on a Blackstone
Start with fully cooked taco meat.
This is an ideal opportunity to use leftover ground beef from walking tacos or another taco dinner.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the baking sheet directly on the Blackstone cooking surface.
Spread a layer of tortilla chips across the sheet, then add the cooked taco meat, beans, and shredded cheese.
If you’re using beans, Erin recommends warming them before adding them to the nachos because they may not heat thoroughly during the short time the nachos spend on the griddle.
Cover the nachos with the griddle hood or a large basting dome to help melt the cheese.
Erin sometimes adds a little water to the griddle underneath the baking sheet to create steam.
Once the cheese has melted, carefully remove the baking sheet and bring it directly to the picnic table.
Finish with cold toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and fresh vegetables.
Why the Baking Sheet Makes Such a Difference
There are several advantages to this method.
First, the nachos don’t make a mess directly on the griddle surface.
Second, the foil-lined sheet simplifies cleanup.
And third, the entire tray can move directly from the griddle to the picnic table.
That makes it perfect for family-style dining.
Everyone can gather around, grab their favorite nachos, and enjoy the meal together.
Erin uses a baking sheet that fits neatly on her 22-inch Blackstone, which is her preferred griddle for camping.
This is also a terrific recipe for entertaining friends at the campground.
Make a large tray, set it in the middle of the picnic table, and let everyone dig in.
6. Blackstone Cookies: Yes, You Can Bake Dessert on a Griddle!
Most people purchase a Blackstone thinking about breakfast foods, burgers, and sandwiches.
But one of the most enjoyable parts of owning a griddle is discovering all the unexpected things you can cook on it.
Cookies are a perfect example.
Erin has experimented with several varieties of refrigerated cookie dough and developed a simple method for making cookies at the campground without using an oven.
It requires a little trial and error, but it’s a fun activity for families.
Ingredients and Equipment for Blackstone Cookies
- Refrigerated cookie dough
- A baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- A Blackstone griddle with a hood or large basting dome
- Optional frosting or ice cream
Erin recommends refrigerated cookie dough that comes in individual break-apart squares because it’s especially convenient.
How to Make Cookies on a Blackstone
Turn the Blackstone to its lowest heat setting.
Place a baking sheet upside down on the cooking surface.
This creates a barrier between the direct heat of the griddle and the cookies.
Cover the upside-down baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the cookie dough pieces on top.
Cover the cookies with the Blackstone hood or a basting dome.
The cover is essential because it traps heat and allows the cookies to cook more evenly.
Keep a close eye on them as they bake.
Unlike a conventional oven, the Blackstone delivers considerably more heat from below, so the bottoms will generally become more browned than the tops.
Erin emphasizes that this technique takes some experimentation, and cooking times will vary depending on the griddle, temperature, and cookie dough.
Once the cookies are cooked, remove them carefully and allow them to cool.
Turn Your Blackstone Cookies into a Campground Dessert
The cookies are delicious on their own, but Erin has also made frosting-filled sandwich cookies.
Jeremy suggested taking things one step further by adding a scoop of ice cream from the RV freezer.
Warm cookies and ice cream at the campground? That’s a pretty terrific way to end a day outdoors.
This recipe also illustrates one of our favorite things about Blackstone cooking.
The more you experiment, the more you realize that your griddle can do far more than you originally imagined.
The Best Blackstone Griddle for Camping: Erin’s Favorite Setup
With so many Blackstone models available, choosing the right one for camping can feel overwhelming.
Erin has used several different griddles over the years, but her favorite remains the classic 22-inch Blackstone with a hood.
In fact, she keeps one in her camper so it’s always ready for the next trip.
Why the 22-Inch Blackstone Is Her Favorite
The classic 22-inch Blackstone offers a useful balance between cooking space and portability.
It’s large enough to prepare meals for a family, but compact enough to transport and store in many RVs.
The cold-rolled steel cooking surface also provides the familiar griddle experience that Erin and Jeremy both love.
Like cast iron, cold-rolled steel requires seasoning and regular maintenance.
But once properly seasoned, it’s an incredibly versatile cooking surface.
The hood is another important feature, particularly for recipes involving steam or indirect heat.
Erin uses it for steaming tortellini, melting cheese on nachos, and baking cookies.
What About Blackstone’s Portable Camping Griddles?
Erin also enjoys Blackstone’s newer suitcase-style camping griddles.
These models use a nonstick ceramic-titanium cooking surface rather than traditional cold-rolled steel.
They’re lightweight, compact, and especially easy to clean.
Erin appreciates that she can often wipe down the cooking surface quickly after preparing a meal.
The experience is different from cooking on a traditional Blackstone, and she recognizes that some griddle enthusiasts strongly prefer the classic steel surface.
But she believes the newer camping griddles deserve consideration, particularly for campers who prioritize portability and easy cleanup.
Erin’s Blackstone Setup at Home
When she’s not camping, Erin has several other Blackstones available.
Her primary home cooking setup includes a basic 36-inch Blackstone without a hood.
She also uses a 28-inch XL Bronco on her deck and has been particularly impressed by its heat distribution.
More recently, she added a Blackstone pizza oven to her collection.
Jeremy is also a big fan of Blackstone’s pizza ovens, particularly the E-Series Electric Pizza Oven, which he considers an underrated piece of cooking equipment.
Clearly, both Jeremy and Erin have developed a serious appreciation for outdoor cooking equipment.
Their garages are proof.
Favorite Blackstone Accessories for Campground Cooking
One of the easiest ways to make Blackstone cooking more enjoyable is to invest in a few useful accessories.
But with so many options available, it’s worth focusing on the tools you’ll actually use.
Erin shared several favorites that regularly make their way into her cooking routine.
Blackstone Cutting Boards
Erin uses Blackstone cutting boards almost every time she cooks.
She owns multiple sizes and appreciates having a dedicated prep surface close to the griddle.
Jeremy agrees that they’re well made and reasonably priced, mentioning a price of approximately $30 for the versions he’s purchased.
For camping, he generally chooses smaller accessories that take up less storage space.
Taco Racks
Taco racks are another accessory Erin uses frequently.
She particularly likes the larger versions because they accommodate generously stuffed tacos, including breakfast tacos.
Smaller taco racks can be useful when storage space is limited.
Large Griddle Scoop
Erin loves the oversized scoop that resembles a small shovel.
Her father actually calls it the shovel.
The wide scoop makes it easier to transfer large quantities of food, especially pasta dishes like chicken taco tortellini.
Instead of trying to balance food between two spatulas, she can scoop up a generous portion and transfer it directly to a serving dish.
Burger Smasher with Silicone Mat
Erin also recommends Blackstone’s newer burger smasher with a silicone component.
She finds it easier to use than the traditional technique of placing parchment paper between the meat and the smasher.
For anyone who makes smash burgers regularly, this could be a useful upgrade.
Another Favorite Camping Kitchen Gadget: The Presto Nomad Slow Cooker
Not every great camping kitchen accessory has to be a Blackstone product.
One of Erin’s favorite non-Blackstone cooking gadgets is the Presto Nomad slow cooker.
Unlike a traditional slow cooker with a heavy ceramic insert and awkward handles, the Nomad is designed for portability.
It resembles a small cooler, with a folding handle that helps secure the lid.
The power cord stores neatly in the back, and the overall design makes it easy to transport.
Erin loves bringing it to the campground or carrying it to another campsite for a shared meal.
She’s received so many compliments on the cooker that it has become a regular feature in her camping content.
She even purchased a second one in a football-themed design.
Did she need another slow cooker?
Not exactly.
But as anyone who loves camping gear knows, sometimes a great product is difficult to resist.
More Blackstone Recipe Inspiration
Erin and Jeremy also discussed Blackstone Griddle Cookbook: 101 Recipes, which features approachable recipes from familiar Blackstone cooking personalities.
Both appreciate that the recipes are accessible rather than intimidating.
Erin admits that when a recipe requires too many unfamiliar ingredients or complicated techniques, she’s unlikely to make it.
The cookbook offers plenty of meals that feel achievable for everyday cooks.
Jeremy recently made Todd Toven’s cranberry eggnog French toast and absolutely loved it.
Erin was planning to try a pasta recipe from Hussey, along with a burger recipe from Blackstone Betty.
Jeremy also had his eye on Blackstone Betty’s Denver-style smashed egg tacos.
For anyone looking to move beyond the basics, a good collection of tested recipes can provide plenty of inspiration.
Campground Meal Planning Tips from Campin’ Erin
One of the biggest challenges of campground cooking isn’t necessarily preparing the food.
It’s getting organized before the trip.
Erin has developed a simple routine that makes grocery shopping and packing considerably easier.
Have Groceries Delivered Directly to the Camper
Rather than shopping several days in advance and transferring everything from her kitchen to the RV, Erin orders groceries for delivery on the morning before a camping trip.
She even adds a note asking the delivery driver to leave the groceries at the bottom of the camper steps.
That way, she can carry everything directly into the RV without first bringing it into the house.
Jeremy and Stephanie have used a similar grocery delivery strategy over the years and agree that it can make getting out the door much easier.
Keep Friday Night Meals Simple
Arrival day is not the time for complicated cooking.
Choose recipes that can be prepared quickly, require minimal cleanup, and satisfy everyone in the family.
Chicken taco tortellini, walking tacos, and chicken bacon ranch subs are all excellent choices.
Save More Elaborate Meals for Saturday
Once the RV is set up and everyone has settled into campground life, cooking can become part of the fun.
Saturday evening is a great time to experiment with new recipes, make a more involved dinner, or invite friends over to share a meal.
Plan Meals Around Shared Ingredients
Erin’s walking tacos and nachos are a perfect example.
Cook extra seasoned ground beef for one dinner and use the leftovers for another meal.
You can also use ingredients like shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sauces across several different recipes.
This approach reduces food waste, simplifies shopping, and makes campground cooking more efficient.
Where Campin’ Erin Has Been Camping Lately
Although Blackstone recipes were the focus of our conversation, we couldn’t have Campin’ Erin on the podcast without asking about her recent camping adventures.
Erin and her family enjoy a wide variety of camping experiences, from peaceful state parks to full-service RV resorts.
She doesn’t believe there’s one correct way to camp, and neither do we.
Sometimes you want a quiet waterfront campsite with very few amenities.
Other times, a resort with a swimming pool, playground, and organized activities is exactly what the family needs.
Endless Caverns RV Resort, Virginia
One of Erin’s favorite new discoveries was Endless Caverns RV Resort in Virginia.
She loved that the campground feels tucked into the woods on a mountainside rather than resembling a traditional open-layout RV resort.
At the same time, it offers amenities such as a swimming pool, playground, games, and organized activities.
For families who enjoy campground amenities but prefer a more natural setting, Endless Caverns offers an appealing combination.
Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge, Virginia
Erin’s family also enjoyed a Halloween camping weekend at Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge.
They brought along a friend of their 10-year-old son, and the boys had a fantastic time.
The campground offered Halloween activities including a parade, trick-or-treating, a haunted trail, and a haunted cabin.
Erin particularly appreciates how easily her son makes friends while camping.
As he gets older, campgrounds with activities and opportunities to socialize have become an increasingly important part of their family’s travel plans.
Kerr Lake, North Carolina
When Jeremy asked Erin to name her favorite campground destination of all time, she hesitated.
Not because she couldn’t think of one, but because she almost didn’t want to share it.
Her answer was the state park camping areas around Kerr Lake in North Carolina.
Erin loves the beautiful waterfront campsites, peaceful surroundings, and opportunity to swim right from the campground.
Boaters can enjoy campsites with convenient access to the lake, and some waterfront sites allow boats to be kept close to camp.
The amenities are simple, but that’s part of the appeal.
There’s something magical about waking up to mist rising over the water, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, and spending the day outside.
For Erin, that’s what camping is all about.
More Camping Favorites and Future Adventures
During a quick round of questions, Erin shared a few more favorites.
Her family’s current favorite Blackstone meal is smash burger tacos, which they enjoy preparing in several different variations.
Her dream RV is a large Keystone Montana High Country fifth wheel with plenty of residential-style amenities, including separate bedrooms and bathrooms.
For a non-Blackstone camping accessory, she enthusiastically recommends pie irons, sometimes called Toastites or pudgy pie makers.
These simple campfire cooking tools can be used to prepare savory sandwiches, sweet treats, and all kinds of creative snacks.
They’re also especially fun when camping with friends who have never tried them before.
As for future travel, Erin would love to take her family camping out West, particularly in places like Utah and Colorado.
Jeremy encouraged her to consider flying and renting a cabin or RV rather than feeling obligated to tow her camper across the entire country.
Sometimes a different approach makes a bucket-list destination much more accessible.
Erin also has Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground on her wish list after hearing our recent episode about the campground.
We certainly understand that one.
Why We Love Cooking on the Blackstone at the Campground
The beauty of Blackstone cooking is that it can be as simple or as creative as you want it to be.
You can spend five minutes making a batch of pancakes, prepare a big family dinner, or experiment with something completely unexpected like cookies.
And you don’t need to start with an elaborate recipe.
In fact, some of Erin’s most popular meals are the simplest ones.
What makes her cooking content so enjoyable is that the recipes feel approachable. They’re the kinds of meals you can imagine preparing at your own campsite, with your family gathered around the picnic table.
That’s what campground cooking should be.
It’s not about creating the most impressive meal or spending hours perfecting complicated techniques.
It’s about enjoying good food, trying something new, and making memories together.
A big thank-you to Campin’ Erin for sharing her favorite recipes, cooking tips, gear recommendations, and campground discoveries.
Be sure to follow Campin’ Erin on Instagram and TikTok for cooking videos, campground reviews, gear recommendations, and plenty of laughs about RV life. Her videos are especially helpful if you’d like to see these recipes prepared step by step.
And if you’re looking for a new recipe to try this weekend, start with the Texas toast French dips or chicken taco tortellini.
We have a feeling they’ll become regulars in your campground meal rotation.
We’ll see you at the campground.
