Food is a big issue when travelling. And even on a camping holiday, it definitely doesn't have to be ravioli and goulash from a can. In this article we reveal our 5 favourite camping dishes - delicious and easy to cook.


Before you start your camping trip, you should familiarise yourself with the equipment of your camper. Of course, basic cooking utensils such as a gas cooker, cooking pots, plates and crockery should not be missing. You'll find a list showing the equipment of the kitchen in our vehicles in the detailed description of each camper. If necessary, you can bring your own spices, vinegar and oil.
