There’s something special about a crisp October evening. Fall is the perfect time to slow down, gather around the fire, and enjoy simple treats that make every night feel a little bit like home.

Here are a few of our favorite easy campfire snacks and drinks to enjoy this season. Remember to check with your campground regarding fire regulations.

Classical S’mores With a Twist

You can’t have a fall campfire without s’mores, but why not switch them up a little? Try using

Reese’s Cups instead of chocolate bars for a peanut butter kick.
Cinnamon graham crackers for a warm spicy flavor.
Caramel squares melted between marshmallows for a gooey upgrade.
Pro Tip: Prep ingredients in small containers before your trip. It keeps things tidy and makes campfire setup a breeze.

Campfire Caramel Apple Packets

All you need are apple slices, a drizzle of caramel, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a handful of oats or granola. Wrap it all in foil and set it over the fire for about 10 minutes. The result? Warm, melty, caramel apples!

Warm Apple Cider

Skip the store bought bottled cider and make your own with just a few ingredients:

4 cups apple juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 orange slice
a few cloves or a dash of allspice
Heat everything in a small pot on your stove or over the fire and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Pout into mugs, sit back, and enjoy that fall magic. An added bonus, your RV will smell wonderful!

Campfire Quesadillas

When the nights get chilly, a little melted cheese goes a long way. Layer cheese, cooked chicken, and salsa between two tortillas, wrap them in foil, and heat over the fire for 5-7 minutes.

They’re easy, mess free, and perfect for a group snack!

Hot Cocoa Bar

Heat a pot of water or milk over the campfire until its steaming. Stir in your favorite cocoa mix. Set out mugs, hot cocoa packets, and a few fun toppings like marshmallows, whipped cream, crushed peppermint, or caramel drizzle. Pour, customize, and sip!

Pro Tip: Let the fire burn down to glowing coals before heating. It gives you steady heat without burning the milk.

Bonus Tip:

Don’t forget to bring a blanket and a few twinkle lights for extra ambiance. The best part of any campfire night isn’t just the food. It’s the laughter, stories, and warmth shared between friends, and maybe a few sticky marshmallow fingers.

Whether you’re parked under golden aspens or nestled beside a mountain trail, these fall campfire favorites are easy to make, easy to share, and guaranteed to make your October evening a little sweeter.
