A Backcountry Game Changer 

There is no shortage of choice when it comes to freeze-dried meals. But if you’ve ever suffered through a sad, gloopy excuse for a meal after a long day on the trail, you’ll know that not all trail food is created equal.  

Campers Pantry started with a simple mission to create the “absolute best lightweight food possible”. Founded in Launceston, Tasmania, they saw a gap in the market for lightweight meals that actually tasted like food. And that is exactly what they deliver.

Made using premium Aussie produce and meats, their meals are created with the care you’d expect from a good home cooked dinner - except it all gets freeze dried and packed for the trail.

What Makes Them Different?

• Real Food, Real Ingredients - The Campers Pantry team doesn't cut corners when it comes to ingredients. You’ll find their meals are packed with Aussie grown vegetables, quality meats and house-made spice blends - no fillers, artificial substitutes or ingredients you don’t know and recognise. And it’s not just about taste, using whole ingredients means better nutrition, better digestion and better morale after a long day out.

• Adventure Ready - These meals are created with outdoor adventurers in mind, they are lightweight, easy to prepare and packed for convenience, so you can focus on enjoying the experience. They’re low-volume in your pack, quick to rehydrate with minimal fuel, and designed for ease of use—no cooking skills required. Just add boiling water, wait, and enjoy.

A Brand That Gives a Back

Beyond great food, Camper’s Pantry is also a brand that genuinely cares about how it operates. Sustainability is wrapped in every part of their processes from minimising food waste in production to using recyclable packaging and supporting local producers wherever possible.

They are also giving back to their local community. Partnering with organisations like Loaves & Fishes Tasmania and the Endeavour Foundation, Camper’s Pantry supports community food programs and disability employment services. It’s one thing to make a great product but to do it with integrity and impact! That’s a rare combo.
