One of the chores that can be fun is cooking your meals over a fire. Building a fire takes time and wood but what would camping be without a good fire. Sitting around the fire telling stories are what make memories. Smores make a great treat for everyone. Many campsites have a grill that is part of their fire ring but I would suggest a portable grill so you can keep it as close to the fire as you want.

A camping stove is also needed for those time you can’t build a fire or it just isn’t worth the effort. Peanut butter sandwiches just don’t cut it as camp food for most people.
