There’s something amazingly cozy about celebrating the holidays in a warm, snug home-on-wheels, decorated with twinkle lights and smelling like cinnamon. One of the perks of RV Christmas?

Across campsites and forest trails, a quiet revolution is reshaping the way people eat outdoors. Sustainable camping, once focused mainly on reusable gear and leave-no-trace ethics, now extends to the campfire kitchen, where responsibly sourced foods are taking center stage. Outdoor recreation often has a big impact on the environment. It doesn’t have to be that way.
