When you’re out in the wild, breathing in that fresh mountain air, there’s nothing better than a hearty meal cooked over a crackling fire.
Unless, of course, that meal comes with a little extra elevation.
Today, we’re talking about how to whip up DIY cannabis-infused camping meals that are both delicious and adventure-ready. Plus, we’ll show you how to dose safely so your trip stays the right kind of wild.
Why Infused Camping Meals Rock
- Adventure meets chill: Cannabis-infused eats make outdoor adventures even more memorable.
- Easier on the lungs: Cooking your cannabis into food gives you an option besides smoking.
- Control your vibe: Infused foods let you pick your own pace, whether you’re chilling by the lake or hiking those trails.
Essentials for Infused Outdoor Cooking
Before you head into the woods, make sure you’ve packed these cannabis must-haves:
- Infused ingredients:
- Cannabutter
- Cannabis coconut oil
- Infused honey
- Gear you’ll need:
- Portable camp stove or campfire-safe grill
- Measuring spoons or cups (dosing matters!)

Tips for Dosing in the Wild
Keeping your camping trip fun (and not too foggy) comes down to smart dosing:
- Start low and go slow: Especially if you’re hiking or adventuring afterward.
- Pre-portion servings: It’s easier (and safer) to pre-measure doses before you head out.
- Wait it out: After eating, give yourself at least 90 minutes before deciding if you want more.
- Stay hydrated: Cannabis and altitude can be a wild combo—water is your best trail buddy.

5 Easy Infused Recipes for Campers
1. Cannabis-Infused Trail Mix
Mix roasted nuts, dried berries, dark chocolate chips, and a few spoonfuls of infused honey.
Store it in a mason jar or baggie for a sweet pick-me-up during long hikes.
2. Wake-and-Bake Breakfast Tacos
Sauté your eggs in a touch of cannabutter, pile them into tortillas, and load them with cheese, salsa, and avocado.
Pro tip: Wrap them in foil for an easy reheat at the fire.
3. Grilled Infused Veggie Packs
Chop up your favorite veggies, toss them in cannabis olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Wrap them in foil and cook them on the campfire’s edge until tender and smoky.
4. S’moreganic Goodness
Take your classic s’mores and spread a whisper of infused butter on the graham crackers before assembling.
Warning: You’ll never look at s’mores the same way again.
5. Campfire Chili with a Kick
Heat up some canned chili and stir in a small scoop of cannabis coconut oil right before eating.
Warm, spicy, and perfectly lifted.
Safety First: Cannabis and Camping
- Know the laws: Some parks allow cannabis, some don’t. Always double-check.
- Label everything: Keep infused foods separate and marked, especially around kids and pets.
- Plan activities smartly: Maybe don’t tackle that crazy cliff trail after your infused breakfast burrito.
