You probably already know that winter months such as January are the perfect time to plan a family camping trip to enjoy the outdoors with smaller crowds. Whether you are staying in one of our RV sites or leaving the RV at home and trying one of our cozy cabin options, the cooler evenings and mornings will have you craving some camping comfort food recipes cooked by the fire ring or BBQ that comes with your Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort site.
Campfire Cinnamon French Toast
This twist on french toast is super easy to make and can feed families of just about any size.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf cinnamon-raisin bread
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings of choice (chopped pecans, fresh blueberries, strawberries, etc.)

1. Prepare a campfire or grill for low heat. (Let the campfire burn down to mostly coals.)
2. Stack two pieces of foil a little larger than double the size of your loaf of bread (about 24 inches).
3. Arrange bread slices on the center of the greased double thickness foil.
4. Bring foil up the sides to make a dish shape, and leave the top open.
5. Whisk eggs, milk, syrup, and vanilla, and pour over bread.
6. Sprinkle with your toppings of choice.
7. Fold edges over the top, and crimp to seal.
8. Place on a grill grate over a campfire or BBQ until eggs are cooked through (about 30-40 minutes).

10. Add additional toppings if desired, and top with maple syrup.
