Campfire Breakfast Ideas
Who said Campfires were just for Evenings?
There’s something pretty special about waking up to the smell of woodsmoke and cooking up a hearty breakfast outdoors with a cuppa in hand. There’s that real sense of immersing yourself in the great outdoors. No rush, no alarms, just the gentle crackle of the fire and bell birds in the distance.
Why Cook Breakfast Over the Campfire?
Campfire cooking isn’t just about dinner under the stars, it’s about embracing the moment from sunrise too. A campfire breakfast turns a regular morning into something memorable during your stay, and it’s surprisingly simple with a few fresh ingredients and basic equipment.
Once your fire has settled and the flames die down, use the shovel to spread out the glowing coals. Cast iron pans can go directly onto the coals (don’t forget to use the campfire gloves) and you can make use of the grill arm too. Here are some of our favourite tried and tested easy campfire breakfast recipes.
