There’s nothing better than bacon and roasting up a nice meal over a campfire, so why not combine the two? We’ve provided a list of bacon cooking essentials you can use over a fire or on a grill at the campsite to cook up your favorite style of bacon over the campfire… morning, noon, or night!

I’m sure a frying pan comes to no surprise for gear to cook bacon, but most often you have used one on your stove at home. Frying pans also work great over an open flame, especially nonstick pans!
