Honestly, when we first started camping we tried to do elaborate meals. (Big breakfasts.. toast, eggs, bacon or pancakes and sausage. Lunches were hot dogs or hamburgers, and for evening meals, steak, onions, mushrooms, hash browns.) Over time, we realized that we were spending too much time with meal prep and clean up, that we would have rather spent on the trail or sitting on the beach.
Now we camp lighter with an 'eat to live' mentality. (Breakfast- bagels and cream cheese, or english muffins and PB. and fruit. Lunches- sandwiches which we can pack right after breakfast and hit the road with, and Dinners are hot dogs, burgers or hobos- foil packs with burger, carrots, potatoes and onion)

Will you have a grill or outdoor fire pit? In Boy Scouts, we used to make individual foil packets with Italian sausage links and each person could add their own potatoes, green or red bell peppers, onions, or other veggies ... Drizzle a little olive oil then double wrap with foil and mark initials with a sharpie. Grill the packets for 30-40 minutes until potatoes and sausage are done and serve with a side of sour cream.
I though tranum's egg idea was also a great tip.

Wow!! Thank you all for the fantastic food ideas. Good thing we have several months to narrow down our menu.....lol
One thing we plan on taking is an assortment of veggies. Such as zucchini, peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, corn on the cob, whole mushrooms and plenty of skewers. This way the veggie side dish can be made to one's taste.

We are going deer hunting in October and I am designated camp chef. I will have a cast iron dutch oven, a 12" cast iron skillet to cook meals over the camp fire. As well as a two burner propane cook stove to boil water, make eggs for breakfast.
Foods that are easy, hearty and taste good are needed. Nothing fancy my husband and son(s) are meat and potato kind of guys. No cooking with wines, tofu or other fancy smancy foods........lol Veggie dishes are a hit too as long as I can alter them a bit (minus onions and bell peppers, one son has an finicky stomach).

A few suggestions:
One of the things I LOVE is fresh pineapple grilled. You can wrap it in foil or stick it on skewers. Doesn't take long & it really brings out the sweetness. I like to cut up a fresh one & chunk it.
Mushrooms whole, remember to soak them in water for about an hour or so first before trying to stick on a skewer or they'll fall apart.
Any veggie can be wrapped in foil or stuck on skewers. You can do plain/steam, use a little olive oil or add a sauce or marinate.
Chunks of your choice of meat. You can marinate them & then freeze them in ziploc baggies. Thaw in the bag, in a pan of water, stick on skewers or use in stew.
Bacon can be done on a foiled lined baking sheet. You can fit more on than in a 12 inch skillet & then just toss the foil. Easy clean up.
Corn Bread or biscuits done in your skillet.
Fried potatoe chunks & ham, cut into bites, would be a hearty stick to your ribs breakfast.
Enjoy your trip & happy camping.
