Headed to the great outdoors? Whether your camping, hiking or backpacking, eating low carb keto foods is very possible! We've got you covered with 56 low carb keto camping meals, snacks and even keto desserts for your next trip.  

Best Camping Food Tips

Learn all our best tips on how to prep and pack your low carb keto camping recipes for your next adventure outdoors!

A great way to help keep your cooler cool, is to pack frozen berries. Pack frozen berries in a ziplock bag. They will simply defrost while being in the cooler, then you can enjoy an easy snack of refreshing berries with a keto trail mix or our granola recipe below. Also a great choice to add to your pancakes.

Avocados are a favorite keto snack with a healthy high fat content which will keep you satiated, is easily portable or add avocado slices to many of the below low carb recipes.

Place whole tomatoes inside a crush proof container. Make a fresh loaf of keto bread or have one previously made and take out of the freezer. Purchase deli meats and make a nice sandwich with fresh sliced tomatoes.

Pack hard cheeses, cheese sticks, no sugar added jerky, pepperoni and nuts for a quick and healthy protein filled quick snack. And enjoy leftover pepperoni on the portobello pizza recipe below.

Store bought jerky options we like are the brand Chomps, Paleo Valley, Vermont and Archer.

Nut butters like almond butter and peanut butter are also a great option, especially when they come in single serving packets. 

Mustard is a great keto condiment and tastes amazing on sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs.  

If you like to have fish on the grill or in a tin foil pouch on the fire, vacuum seal each portion individually so the smell and juices do not leak onto other food in the cooler.

Many vegetables can be cooked on the grill in a foil pan or in a tin foil pouch on the fire. Add butter or olive oil and your favorite seasonings, such as salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder.

Some vegetables that do not require refrigeration include broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, peppers and mushrooms.

Packing a can opener to make a quick tuna or chicken salad for lunch can be enjoyed alone or as a sandwich with keto bread. You may find it easier to bring along a pouch of tuna, no can opener required.

Pork rinds make for a crunchy chip alternative with zero carbs and packed with protein.

All keto backpackers anyone camping, hiking or doing outdoor activities, need to stay hydrated or your energy level will fade fast and the last thing you want is to pass out from dehydration.

Bring plenty of water, sparkling water, carry packets of electrolytes or sea salt or make our homemade electrolyte beverage.
