Anyone have some good "campfood" to suggest ?

We have eaten chicken, pork chops, corn on the cob, and squash and zuchini on the grill. Premade pork bbq and spaghetti and just warm up on the grill or microwave.

Pudgie pies!!

Snakes on a stick......crescent rolls wrapped around a hot dog poker or stick brushed with melted butter and cinnamon...over fire.

Omelet in a bag....

My wife can't live without her steak. I usually have grapes and bananas for quick snacks. I like to wrap potatoes in foil and cook them in the embers of the fire, but it is a time commitment.

My boyfriend always talks about the hobo dinners they would make when he was out backpacks. Ground beef, potatoes, onion, and carrots I think, wrapped in foil and cooked in the flame. I'm sure you can google search it for more specifics.

I've personally been dying to try campfire cones though. Waffle cones fill with chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, butterscotch pieces, etc, wrapped in foil and cooked over the flames. YUM.

what is hobo pizza?

I make a lot of soup. There's usually some in the big yogurt containers in the freezer. If we're car camping, I make sure to bring some of those as they act as ice cooling down everything else and you can eat them after heating over the camp fire.

The rest of my possible suggestions are related to the camping we do, which is very aware of the possibility of bears. I'd never go through hiking with meat. Ground beef needs refrigeration and ice is heavy. Beef jerky smells so yummy to me and to bears. And yeah, there's bear poles and stuff, but still, no need to tempt fate. Actually, hubs just came back in the room and told a story of his dad's about a bear coming through camp and tearing up the place, including the tent because someone left an unrinsed empty can of beans on the ground. [as a side note, the father is going to go to Alaska to fish for salmon. His last time there they saw LOTS of grizzlies. Believe me, they will be surgical in their precision about keeping the smell of food far from their tents.] If we're car camping, maybe there's canned chicken that gets added to one of those packets of noodles and sauce along with some broccoli (my hubs' favorite thing), but that stuff gets eaten the first night and thrown away in the bear proof dumpster over there by the shower building, not left in a bag at the campsite.

The rest of the food is light. I have a bunch of food I dehydrated and assembled sitting in a backpack across from me right now for a canoe trip we're taking. Lots of cooked then dried noodles, beans, vegetables, spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc. We'll have big greasy burgers and milkshakes and pie when we come out of the woods having eaten that for 5 days. I made some "marathon cookies" for snacks and we're bringing several cliff bars and GORP (Good Ol' Raisins and Peanuts with pretzels and m&m's for us).

Doesn't sound like there's bears where you're going, and you'll be near your car, and you have ice chests. Totally bring the food you love to eat. Especially the stuff you can grill. Hot dogs on a fork over the fire all unevenly cooked are the best things ever. Bring some hot chocolate mix. Best stuff is the homemade kind that you make with nonfat dry milk, non-dairy creamer, cocoa and powdered sugar. Google it. Its SOOOO good. And you can add it to oatmeal along with peanut butter on a chilly morning in camp and sit and listen to the birds and stare at the mist and wait for everyone else to wake up. Its the best.

I hope you have a great time!
