A Trailer Campfire Thanksgiving Meal You Will Love: “It’s About New Traditions!”

Many of you may be tired of the long traditions of hosting a lavish dinner for family and friends. Pandemic has taught us a lot, including how to value time, family, and close friends. So why not try something unique in an unprecedented year? How does spending thanksgiving on a campfire sound? Many Americans spend their thanksgiving in their hometowns but spending thanksgiving in a 34ft enclosed trailer surrounded by the woods may just be one of the best things you can plan to do in 2020.

Prepare The Best Thanksgiving Of Your Life In A Budget Enclosed Trailer

Trailer camping is fun. For your camping adventures, you can get cheap trailers easily from trusted companies. So if you really are interested in a camp-style thanksgiving you may just come to love it more than you can imagine. 

A large enclosed trailer turned RV can easily store the following cooking utensils. 

  • Cast iron Dutch oven 

  • Aluminum foil 

  • Aluminum pie tin 

  • Camp stove and propane 

  • Cast iron skillet 

Ingredients To Cook:

  • Turkey (under 7 pounds)

  • 3 cup stock 

  • 4 garlic cloves 

  • 1 red onion 

  • Rosemary/thyme/sage as required

  • 1 butter stick 

  • Boxed stuffing 

  • 3 sweet potatoes

  • Salt/pepper/chili as per taste 

What You Need To Do:

The only trick you need to focus on to prepare a delicious campfire meal is to actually know how to build a campfire. So you start by starting the fire. While the stove gets heated, take the aluminum pie tin, poke a few holes in it, and put it upside down at the bottom of the oven.

This is the steam method (the campfire-style) so that the turkey is steam cooked and not burnt. Remember to keep spinning the cast iron to make sure the turkey is properly cooked from all sides. While your turkey gets cooked you can start to prep other parts of the meal. Cut the veggies and once the turkey is done, then sauté the vegetables. You can always cook the potatoes the old fashioned way by wrapping them in the foil packet and adding some water before letting it cook on the fire.

It’s pretty simple though. Yes, it might not be what you are used to but you have to improvise with your natural surroundings. 

Now, Where Can You Go Camping In Georgia On Thanksgiving? 

If you have bought your trailer from enclosed trailer dealers in Georgia, then you must know about the famous camping sites too. If you never had a chance to go camping in Georgia then you can always try camping in the following recreational areas.

Wildlife Management Area Camping 

First, make sure to check the permits for camping. It is quite a popular ground for hunters so maybe you can enjoy thanksgiving with your hunted meal of the day. Some trails may be off-limit to preserve the wildlife but fishing sport, geocaches are always an option. 

Appalachian Trail 

In the north Georgia Mountains, you can start by hiking or set your trailer near the hiking trail of Springer Mountain. 

The hike is 8.5 miles long so once you have set your trailer turned RV into the safe zone, set the security padlocks, and ensure lights are working, you can begin your primitive camping adventure. 

General Free Camping 

You can even try a self-contained RV park overnight for thanksgiving too (if the places are not already packed)!

Just be mindful of the truckers and keep the grill inside and don’t deploy the slides either. Some towns nearby do offer great camping sites too such as Fairgrounds. 


So why not try a unique thanksgiving for a change in the enclosed trailer of your choice? A thanksgiving meal out in the open at a camping site of your choice is an eye-opener for many.
