Camp Oven Date Scones
These easy to prep date scones are delicious. This recipe contains thickened cream, giving a slightly richer flavour. And of course, campfire cooking is guaranteed to enhance the flavour of whatever it is you are cooking. These scones are especially tasty when eaten fresh and warm served with your favourite toppings. The dates give a nice sweetness, so often butter is all that is needed, especially when it softens and melts into the still-warm scones.…

Apple Strudel Style Jaffles
We truly enjoy experimenting with new and different fillings for our jaffles whilst camping, hence our take on apple strudel. These jaffles were simply delicious for our breakfast / brunch. The amount of cinnamon flavouring the apples was perfect and we loved the added crunch the almonds gave to the filling. We decided to try thick sliced fruit bread for these jaffles and the fruit bread added lots of extra flavour of it’s own. We recommend…

Gunalda Bush Camping, Queensland
We really enjoyed our four tranquil nights at Gunalda Bush Camping near Gympie in south-east Queensland. What a top spot and so very relaxing! Our campsite was nestled amongst 68 acres of bushland – ‘Land for Wildlife’, with only a few other campers on the property. There are a few firepits available for campers, however it’s a good idea to bring your own. Firewood is available and we took advantage of this to cook our Chicken…

Hearty Cowboy Style Savoury Mince Jaffles
Jaffles at the campsite, with a hearty savoury mince filling that packs a little heat – what’s not to love! A fresh autumn day was just perfect for cooking up this hearty cowboy style savoury mince over the fire, then placing it between well-buttered bread slices in the jaffle irons. Which jaffle iron do you think is the best – square or round? We both like the good old round ones which I guess are…

Paella is a meal we love to cook while camping, especially when we can have a fire. And if we don’t have a fire, we still love to cook this traditional Spanish dish on the gas. This isn’t a difficult dish to make, but there is some chopping (very therapeutic) and trust us, it’s worth it for the end result! This hearty and delicious rice dish that is known around the globe has its origins…

Tasty Camp Roast in the Coleman Camp Oven
How do we do it? We cook a roast chicken dinner on the road. We don’t have an oven in our camper, don’t have a closed BBQ like a Weber or Ziggy, and this time we don’t even have a campfire! But we do own a Coleman Camp Oven which comes with us on every trip. It is the perfect solution for us in the event of windy weather, or if there are campfire bans…
