Your Questions About What To Take Camping For Food

What kind of food to take camping?
My husband and I will be going to a primitive campground next month. I haven’t found any info on their website about whether or not they have something you can use to cook.
Do most primitive sites have grates that can be used over fires for cooking? I haven’t been camping in 20 yrs, and I’m clueless about what to bring.
If you camp, what kind of meals do you cook? What about things like milk and eggs? Just keep them in a cooler? Thanks.
J Camp answers:
In my experience, primitive sites do not have fire grates unless they are controlled by the government or state. And even then, there is a shot that you won’t have a grate. So the rule of the boy scouts is to be prepared. Take a small grill that you can use with firewood or with just charcoal.
Take charcoal with you as well as matches and lighter fluid. Some places do not allow you to bring firewood into the campsite for fear of bring critters into their forest preserve.
Plan each meal so that you have enough for the entire time. Pack stuff in Zip loc bags so that when your ice melts, you won’t lose the food.
Take a water-tote so you can carry water into your campsite.
Don’t forget a lantern and flashlight as well as tp and that’s not an Indian Tee Pee either. (toilet paper)
I suppose you should not forget your tent either.

What food to take camping?
I’m going camping and I need meal plans, but here’s the catch, my campsite is a mile from the car AND there is a burn ban, we also do not have a camp stove, so I have no way to cook or heat anything. What are ideas for FULL meals and snacks. Thanks!
J Camp answers:
Cooler full of ice and cold sandwiches:
Ham salad, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, (you can use bologna instead of the meat); You can bring tortillas and wrap up your sandwiches, lettuce would be GREAT in one. Cold cuts, cheese,
BLT’s, precook your bacon (or buy precooked bacon)
Potted meat with crackers; or bread; PB&J
Veggies & dip
chips
potato salad
