So I'm going camping in a couple weeks and until further notice, there's a no burning ban where we'll be staying. Are there any good meals one can make that don't require cooking? (Don't have a camping stove to cook with either.) I'd rather not be suck eating sandwiches all week long :laugh: Thanks guys!

    Hopefully you will have a good source to keep things cold???

    Fresh fruits and veggies are obvious.
    Jerky
    Tortilla's with any type of filling you like. Sandwich toppings, a mixture of turkey or chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes etc. anything goes!
    Yogurt
    Salads
    Cold soups (would take preperation before going)
    Protein shakes, if you have a good shaker cup!
    Packaged foods are an option if you eat them. Granola bars, cereal bars, meal bars, fiber bars etc. Not very healthy though.
    String cheese

    Seems I can only come up with snacks... not actual meals :(

    If you have a way to keep things cold, make a batch of pasta salad or a cold quinoa dish. Last time we went camping I made an orzo pasta salad chock full of veggies (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mexican-orzo-salad/detail.aspx - it makes a TON) and that was a great thing to have on hand.
