How to Prepare a Campsite Cooking and Clean-Up Kit

To make any meal preparation easy it’s good to have a Campsite Cooking and Clean-up Kit as part of your camping gear. You want to ensure your campsite has the essentials for cooking your campout meals. A couple of large plastic boxes with fold-over lids from the local Walmart will do nicely to store your cooking and clean-up accessories.

This is what to pack in one box:

Pots and pans that fit inside of each other to save space
A non-stick frying pan
A metal and a plastic spatula/flipper
Cutting board, knife and fork
Can opener
A mixing whisk
Aluminum foil
Eating Utensils – the hard plastic washable kind and of course lots of disposable ones
Lots of cups – the hard plastic washable kind and disposable ones too
Matches and a couple camping lighters
Paper towels and plastic bags (for leftovers and to wrap food in)
Spices (salt, pepper, garlic salt, etc.)
Instant coffee and hot chocolate
Some spare food – like a couple of packages of Macaroni and Cheese and a can of Ravioli, just in case you run out of food or for emergencies
Plates and bowls (hard plastic and paper)
Pack these items in the second box:

Camping gear for cooking over a fire:

Old newspaper
Kindling or fire starters
Campfire tripod or grill to place over the fire
Barbecue cleaning equipment
To keep your campsite clean and your cooking materials sanitary, these clean-up items are essential:

2 buckets (that fit inside each other) or 2 plastic tubs (that fit inside each other) for washing and rinsing dishes
Dish Rags and towels
Scouring pads
Disposable wipes
Detergent
Plastic storage bags
Trash bags
These are many of the camping gear essential items you might need for your Campsite Cooking and Clean-up Kit. There will be additional items you wish to have, but try to keep your list to essential items only.
