In my younger days we would make a hamburger patty, put in in aluminum foil with sliced potatoes and carrots. Salt and pepper, fold it up and set it next to the coals.

So we in our old camper didnt have an oven. And we would roll the canned biscuits twisted on a hot dog skewer over a fire and make some sausage gravy inside for camper fire biscuits and gravy

This is also my campfire recipe. We call them hobo pockets. I think we heard about this from “Long Long Honeymoon” on YouTube.

Cook here everything is tenderized session frozen ready to cook on the Webber on alumiumn foil . I have gator I'm thinking about blackened on the Webber . I like my cooking and have never poisened myself, If you don't have a gas grill might look into a small 1000 Webber.

I remember my father doing this with hot dogs and potatoes & onions. Thing is, the heat source was the exhaust manifold on a 1959 Ford Galaxy.

We also did what we called "Hobo dinners" on the campfire since I was a young'un & that's been a while.

If you like to fish the "hobo" dinner works well with trout or other fish. Same concept; rub the fish with oil so it won't stick, put a slice of onion and seasonings on the fish and wrap in tinfoil. For a side I like to slice zucchini and yellow squash with onion and spices, wrap them and place them in the coals with the fish. If you can't have a fire it works on a grill as well. Also like to cook potatoes and onions the same way. As Danny pointed out, very few RV parks allow open fires any more.

The "no campfire" cg's must be in TX or west. East coast isn't that way. Most CG's state no out of state firewood due to some pest issues but don't know of any that really enforce it.

Yikes, i don't think i have ever been to a CG that does not allow Campfires. The only time we couldn't have one was when the wild fire hazard was way up one time in Northern Mi and no open burning was allowed. Hobo pies/dinners are a staple with our camping group..

Maybe the issue is the type of campground? State parks, COE many times allow fires, most places we stay are commercial campgrounds/RV parks and fires are generally discouraged-prohibited. A few have some fire rings but I've had that conversation before when the sites are small and the fire ring sits outside my door filling the RV with unwanted smoke. Seems some are moving more to a "centralized" fire pit for the tenants.

Every campground we have been in in Minnesota Wisconsin and Michigan has allowed campfires. Mostly families coming for weekends and it is simply part of the experience.

I love campfires, smoke and all. I won't book a site without a fire ring.
Iike to cook over the fire/coals.

We go to primarily private CGs. Every one has had a fire ring and only one year in PA all outdoor fires were banned due to drought conditions maybe 20 years ago. Any CG that's too tight for a fire ring is off my list to stay at.

Then of course Spider dogs for a quick snack.
When I was a Scout, it wasn't really campside cooking, but peanut butter smeared on a slice of bologna and rolled, simple and quick, lol.
Other than that, most of our meals are prepared on the Webber Q1200, but we mostly have done cabin camping, and now just having bought a TT in the fall, we will be able to bring more in the fridge and freezer and have better meals.

Get a Dutch Oven
Bye yourself a old school dutch oven. Season it properly and look after it when it comes to washing it. Avoid soap and scalding hot water or you will have to re-season. You can also choose to buy a ceramic coated one that will be easier to use.
Suddenly the campfire menus open up to new dishes such as bread baked in the dutch oven on the hot fire embers, pot roasts of all kinds, bacon, sausage and eggs for breakfast.
