No camping trip is complete without a few good nature walks along the way – and no nature walk is complete without trail mix! This is one of my favorite camping recipes for trail mix. I even make it throughout the year for my family and it’s one of our favorite snacks! The best part is you can easily modify it to add ingredients you like or leave out the ones you don’t. Make sure to make a big batch before setting out on your next camping trip in your new or used RV!
