[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did lots of camping vacations when our kids were young and always just did hot dogs on a stick and some sides (chips, fresh fruit and veggies, etc.) for dinners.   We'd do that a few times and then go out to dinner for the other nights.   Breakfast was just shelf stable stuff like boxed donuts/cereal bars and fruit.   
I had no desire to fry bacon over an open fire.[/quote]

I do a lot of camping and like this approach assuming you're cooking over a campfire. My family likes the precooked sausages better than hot dogs. You can also do foil wrapped quesadillas on a campfire really easily. Pregrated cheese and refried beans from a pouch or a can and shelf stable salsa.

I understand what you mean about "defeating the purpose" to go into town but it's nice if you need a backup option. Alternatively if you have a way to boil water (camp stove or chimney is helpful) and remember to bring a pot you can have Cup of Noodles or REI style backpacker meals for dinner and instant oatmeal for breakfast. Instant coffee. Those things can stay in your car as a backup. [/quote]
