They do this by using simple roasting methods or by using a grill designed for use over campfires. Some campground fire pits have built-in grills. Other campfire accessories are also available, such as pot hangers and tripod grills. But campfires are not allowed in some areas. In that case, a fire pan or some sort of camp stove is required for cooking.
Fire pans help to preserve the environment by keeping burning wood and coals off the ground.
If you won't be using a fire for grilling meat, a small propane grill works best because it heats up and cools quickly. Most are compact and easy to transport. Perishables must be kept cool during the camping trip. A lightweight cooler filled with ice is the easiest way to keep your food from spoiling. Camping in a location far from a source of fresh ice can be a problem, however, if several nights will be spent in one location.
