Camp Recipes was created in 2000 as an online community for people to share recipes with others interested in outdoor cooking.

The site came about as a result of planning a backpacking trip. I was searching the Internet for recipes to use while on a trek to the Wind River area of Wyoming. Many interesting recipes were located but I spent several hours looking through many sites. I found myself wishing that someone would create a place where everyone could post camping recipes - a place where the recipes would be freely available to all. I soon decided that I would be that someone and upon returning from the wilderness, Camp Recipes was born.

Camp Recipes was redesigned in 2005. A major upgrade to the site added a free newsletter, a member area, and an improved database to manage the growing number of recipes. A new cooking and camping tips resource was also introduced.

I encourage you to share your camping recipes and cooking tips. Please enjoy Camp Recipes and let me know what I can do to make this site more useful to you.
