5 Easy Fall Campfire Recipes for RV Trips You’ll Want to Try This Season

Cooler nights, colorful leaves, and the smell of wood smoke in the air—there’s nothing quite like fall RV camping in Tennessee. The season is made for slow mornings, cozy campfires, and delicious meals enjoyed outdoors. If you’re planning your next road trip, these fall campfire recipes for RV trips will help you cook with ease while making the most of crisp autumn evenings at Rural Hill Farm.

1. Foil Packet Campfire Breakfasts

Start your day right with hearty foil packet breakfasts. Simply combine eggs, diced potatoes, peppers, onions, and sausage, then wrap it all in foil and place it over the campfire. After 15–20 minutes, you’ll have a hot, satisfying meal with minimal cleanup—perfect for fueling a day of exploring.

Tip: Make it easier by pre-chopping ingredients at home and storing them in your RV fridge before your trip.

2. Campfire Chili

Few things say “fall” like a steaming bowl of chili by the fire. Use your cast iron pot or Dutch oven to cook ground beef or turkey with beans, tomatoes, and your favorite spices. Let it simmer while you relax under the stars.

RV hack: Bring small containers of toppings, such as cheese, green onions, and sour cream, so everyone can customize their bowl.

3. Apple Crisp in a Skillet

Bring the taste of fall to your campsite with this easy dessert. Layer sliced apples with brown sugar, oats, butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in a cast iron skillet. Cook it over the fire for 20–25 minutes until it’s golden and bubbly.

Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a cozy, comforting treat.

4. Campfire Nachos

For a fun, shareable meal, layer tortilla chips, beans, cheese, and cooked chicken or ground beef in a cast-iron pan. Cover with foil and let it heat over the campfire for a few minutes. Once melted, top with fresh tomatoes, jalapeños, and avocado.

It’s a perfect casual dinner for RV campers—easy to make, even easier to clean up.

5. S’mores with a Fall Twist

No campfire meal is complete without s’mores. This season, give them a fall makeover by swapping classic chocolate for peanut butter cups or adding sliced bananas or caramel drizzle. It’s a simple way to make an old favorite feel brand new.
