I am reading this late in the summer. We just returned from camping yesterday. (by the way-none of the NYState owned campsites have electric) We had a great week eating group meals, most were prepared using cast iron dutch ovens. (If you watch carefully you can pick these up much cheaper at Harbor Freight than from any other source.) We had delicious stews, lasagna, chicken dishes, and marvelous desserts. The RV sites have many wonderful recipes. I personally take many of our main meals made ahead and frozen. Then I just heat them up quickly and add simple sides such as rolls or biscuits, salads, pasta sides. When I am camping, I am on vacation and don't want to slave making meals-the simpler the better. (I have always wanted to use a simple cardboard/tin foil solar oven but never got around to trying it out ahead of time)

We have an annual "Dinner Party at the Lake" every year cooking in these black pots...we've done a meatloaf flower with bread rolls and cobbler desert, We've done pulled pork enchiladas with Spanish rice, beans.... Chicken Marsala, bread rolls, stuffed mushrooms, salad, cake...
You get the idea. You can also do some pretty simple stuff.
If you aren't interested in learning dutch ovens, there's always soup, chili, sandwiches...
Here's a website that has GREAT people, and some totally awesome recipes and camp cooking tips and tricks...

Enjoyed reading everyones ideas...we are going on an extended vaca in our 5th wheel the end of this month. I have been freezing a lot of leftovers..sliced brisket, roast, grilled chicken, grilled porkchops. Then all I have to do is thaw, and reheat and add a salad or side dish. More time for sight seeing and then a quick supper. We also enjoy the "hobos"...especially when you can customize them to each persons taste preference.
