Poll Results: Favorite Campfire Recipes

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the results!

  • A whopping 78% of our readers said “No,” they don’t have a favorite campfire recipe.
  • While only 22% said “Yes.”

It seems that the majority of our readers are either still experimenting with their campfire cooking or perhaps prefer the spontaneity of throwing whatever they have on hand onto the grill. Either way, it’s clear that while campfire cooking is popular, a set favorite recipe is not the norm for most of you.

The Joy (and Chaos) of Campfire Cooking

Let’s be honest, cooking over a campfire can be as unpredictable as the weather. One minute you’re roasting marshmallows to golden perfection, and the next, you’re dealing with a charred mess that even the raccoons won’t touch. For the 22% who do have a favorite campfire recipe, hats off to you! You’ve mastered the art of open-flame cooking, and likely have a secret stash of ingredients that turn a simple meal into a culinary masterpiece. For the rest of us, campfire cooking often feels like a reality TV show challenge—complete with unexpected twists and a ticking clock.

Why Some of Us Wing It

For the 78% who don’t have a favorite campfire recipe, there’s something liberating about winging it. Maybe you enjoy the thrill of improvisation, or perhaps you just haven’t found that perfect recipe yet. There’s a certain charm in rummaging through your cooler, throwing together a hodgepodge of ingredients, and hoping for the best. After all, isn’t that part of the adventure? Plus, if it all goes wrong, there’s always the trusty backup of hot dogs and s’mores.

Conclusion: Why the Results Make Perfect Sense

So why did 78% of you vote “No”? The answer might lie in the nature of RV living itself—it’s all about flexibility and spontaneity. Many RVers enjoy the freedom to explore new places and try new things, and this extends to their cooking habits. Having a favorite campfire recipe might feel too restrictive for those who thrive on variety and experimentation. Additionally, the unpredictability of campfire cooking can make it challenging to stick to a specific recipe.

For the 22% who do have a favorite, your dedication to perfecting your campfire culinary skills is commendable. Whether you’re a seasoned campfire chef or a culinary free spirit, one thing’s for sure: the diversity in our RV community is what makes it so special.
