    If your going camping in a camper it would be best to keep it refrigerated in the fridge.If going camping in a tent, Bring a cooler with ice in it and put the salad in it.Remember to not let it get too cold!!!!!!!!! P.S. The fruit salad sounds really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Personally, I would bring the fruits camping along with a cutting board. The problem is that your fruit salad will be much better if done this way. If you are going to a drive-in site then this is absolutely the way to go.

    I especially recommend keeping the berries out of the salad until served. They will begin to go bad the fastest. The good news is you can keep your uncut fruits out of the refrigerator (or cooler). If you are hiking in instead of driving to your site then just keep the berries out alltogether.

    Once you cut the fruits you should refrigerate them. If you are not home and refrigeration is not possible place a sealed bag of ice in with your fruit and surround the bowl or container you have the salad in with ice to maintain the proper temperature.

    there's nothing to spoil, really, so you don't have to refrigerate it... but fruit salads are typically served cold. A bit more refreshing that way. If you are picnicking, putting it in an ice chest is fine.

    Well, it should be refrigerated at home, but if you're going camping it will be fine in a cooler.

    ahhh now i'm hungry for fruit salad, thanks a lot. haha.

    you can just keep it cool. keep it covered with tin foil, because bugs like fruit salad too. yuck.

    You can just keep it cool, but the berries (especially raspberries) will go bad very quickly .....

    put it in a cooler with ice. be sure the container you use it water tight so you don't end up with a soupy, watery mess.
