Better Cooking and Eating Means Better Camping!

Up your game in the camp kitchen with a spacious teardrop trailer galley for better cooking and eating, and a better camping experience overall. 

Did you know that you can prep and cook an entire Thanksgiving meal while camping from your Colorado Teardrop trailer? 

You likely would not want to attempt this in order to have it look like a traditional Thanksgiving turkey. And while camping, you would cook it in a propane grill or over an open fire.  

But this is entirely possible for someone willing to properly brine and prepare a turkey in order for it to cook evenly, either by sectioning the bird into pieces before cooking it, or spatchcocking the bird – which means breaking or removing the breastbone in order to flatten it. 

Learn from Outside Magazine how to cook a turkey over a campfire.

We think a Thanksgiving meal might be just a little more effort than most are willing to put in when it comes to eating while camping.  But, you CAN easily make hearty, delicious meals with ease each time you camp in your Colorado Teardrop trailer.

Yes – you can cook a holiday camping meal for six or more happy campers.

One of the greatest things about a Colorado Teardrop is the galley and the spacious on-board storage, making cooking (and eating) easier. And with add-ons like on-demand hot water, cleanup is that much easier.

Breakfasts

Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day – even while camping. The right food can set you up with energy and stamina for a nice long day of outdoor adventure, or just lying in a hammock catching up on your reading.

You’ve been missing out if a typical camping breakfast has been tepid coffee and a granola bar. With plenty of room in the galley of your Colorado Teardrop, and counter heights that were designed with your home kitchen at home in mind, you can bring your ingredients and equipment and make a delicious fresh-cooked meal with no problem. Denver style scrambled eggs for everyone with English muffins and hot coffee for all?  Just bring the mixing bowl and start chopping.  With optional dual side mounted propane tanks, there’s room for two sets of burners to accomplish any cooking goal.

Lunch and Dinner

Now that you’re camping in a teardrop trailer, you can think bigger than just more granola bars and nut butters for lunch. Instead, set up the sandwich assembly line. With all the countertop space, everyone can line up and assemble their lunch-time masterpiece that would make Dagwood proud.

How do you and the crew feel about pasta primavera while camping?

Pizza?

Nothing like eating al fresco (outdoors in the open air!). 

How about a delicious stew or hearty chili?

Bring it all if you choose. Head back to your galley’s ample storage, organization and counter space – and whip up that next meal to will make your kitchen at home jealous to be stuck at home! Also, these six quick and easy recipes from Active.com are perfect for keeping you satisfied and full of energy while camping.

Beverages – Hot and Cold

And now that you have room in your galley start thinking about bringing your favorite beverages. You can make hot coffee and have cold milk/cream for it, too—lots of room in the galley for supplies and equipment. Likely, you can’t bring your espresso machine from home – check the output wattage on your battery system and the expresso machine’s energy requirements –  but you can have hot and easy beverages while camping. Check out some great hot bevy recipes here.

And, if you end your camping day with an adult beverage, you’ll be happy to convert the kitchen into the bar, given the space your teardrop trailer galley offers. Securely store beer, wine and cocktail fixings to make your camping wind-down even better! And with an insulated camper galley, it makes the ice in the cooler last even longer.

Cooking for Kiddos

If you are taking your fussy-eating kiddo camping, you don’t have to stress. Colorado Teardrop trailers are meant to make camping with kids fun and easy in many ways, including feeding your, ahem, particular kiddos. Bring the mac & cheese, chicken fingers, or whatever your kid campers love the most.

Not only is there more room to store and cook, but you can also make mealtime normal with in-cabin dining. Convert the cabin from sleep mode to dining mode with table and couch (or couches in our larger models) for an easy indoor mealtime.

Part of camping better is cooking and eating better. Colorado Teardrop trailers aren’t just made to satisfy your appetite for adventure but also your need for hearty meals.
