Camping is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some time in nature. However, just because you are roughing does not mean you must sacrifice good food and cooking experiences.

In fact, cooking and sharing meals in the great outdoors can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of camping. That’s why having a well-equipped camp kitchen is essential. A good camp kitchen makes cooking easier, helps keep things organized, and reduces the chances of leaving a mess behind. 

In this guide, we will take a closer look at how to set up the ultimate camp kitchen, featuring the top camping gear from BTR Outfitters, Tire Table, and So-Cal Teardrops.

How Should Your Camp Kitchen Be Set Up?

An ideal camp kitchen should have three separate stations: a food prep station, a cooking station, and a serving station. Additionally, you’ll need storage bins for food and separate bins for plates, utensils, napkins, and other items. Ideally, you should also have a separate area for eating, so you don’t have to clean off the stations before eating.

The food prep station should have a table with enough room for vegetables and a cutting board. The table should be at a comfortable height to work on, and you should have enough space for all your food prep needs. The cooking station needs to have enough room for your stove, cooking utensils, spices, and anything else you need while cooking.

The serving station is where you will put the food once it’s done. It also needs enough room for plates, eating utensils, napkins, cups, water, etc. The serving station can also double as your eating station.
