How to Make Campfire Popcorn | Easy Outdoor Recipe

Make popcorn over the campfire with this easy outdoor recipe. Learn the simple steps, best seasonings, and tips for perfect campfire popcorn every time.

Some camping snacks just feel like tradition, and popcorn is one of them. There’s nothing like the sound of kernels popping over the fire while everyone’s bundled up under the pines. With a campfire popcorn maker, it’s simple, fun, and perfect for kids and adults alike.

What You’ll Need:

  • Campfire Popcorn Maker

  • Popcorn kernels

  • Cooking oil or butter

  • Seasonings (garlic parmesan, white cheddar, salted caramel… we say bring them all!)

How to Make It:

  1. Add a drizzle of oil or a small pat of butter to the bottom of your popcorn maker.

  2. Pour in enough kernels to cover the base in a single layer.

  3. Hold the popcorn maker over the fire (not directly in the flames) and gently shake to keep the kernels moving.

  4. When the popping slows, remove from the heat.

  5. Add your favorite seasoning while it’s still warm so it sticks.

Paloma Pines Tip: Keep a few different shakers out so everyone can make their own mix. It turns snack time into its own campfire activity.

Because sometimes the best camping recipes are the ones that make you slow down, gather close, and enjoy something simple together.
