After long hours on the road and finally reaching your destination, the last thing you want to do is take the time to set up camp and prepare a full meal. Luckily, you no longer have to settle on soggy sandwiches, hot dogs on a stick, or even s’mores for dessert. For those looking for a quick and easy meal, yet want something with more flavor, look no further than packaged camp food. Over the past decade, the number of options for packaged camp food has increased significantly to include gourmet meal options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert. Meals now include many types of food from Asian-centric to vegan, gluten-free, and even Paleo diet options. Many simply require adding hot water and take less than 10 minutes to cook.
