Ready for another great camping recipe?

This easy ham has basically NO prep work. Which I believe is something most campers try to consider while deciding on a camping menu for their trip!

It gives you a filling meal that is ideal for after a long day of hiking, swimming, or any other activity you might be enjoying.

Bonus? Clean up is a breeze!

Cooking Ham In A Dutch Oven

How to cook a frozen ham while camping:

  1. You start with a precooked ham, which is most likely frozen.
  2. Do not worry about thawing completely.
  3. Line your Dutch oven with foil, place the ham inside, and cook over hot coals.

Most precooked hams come pre sliced which means even LESS work for you. They may even come with a glaze which you could easily brush on if desired.

What are good side dishes to serve while camping?

THIS question is probably the most important. The ham is super simple to put together which means more of your time will likely be spent on side dish prep.

If you plan it out, most of these can be prepared before you leave the house keeping the entire meal super simple.

Here are a few of our favorite camping side dish ideas:

  1. Grilled vegetables
  2. Dutch oven cheesy potatoes
  3. Dutch oven french fries
  4. Foil pack steamed veggies
  5. Pasta salad

Special thanks to my in-laws for letting me share this great idea on my site today! Can’t believe how quick and easy this dish was to serve up!

    I don’t have a dutch oven. Could you possibly do this just wrapped in foil and set on the grate above coals and rotate often? Or other ideas of how we could heat this while camping?

    Great ideas. I don’t use aluminum foil, but saw the idea of using cabbage leaves and plan to try those as an alternative, perhaps doing several layers.

    Hi! Saw this post on pinterest and I’m considering it for a girls camp I have to cook for this summer. How long did the ham take to heat?
