Sometimes cooking is a plus at a campsite, but sometimes you want to chill out and not worry about your meals...how would you organize your breakfast, lunch and dinner...and include 'snacks' too if you want!
Answer
Breakfast, two options I can cook a breakfast over the campfire or if I want to take it easy I do a "Jungle Breakfast". When I was scouting we would always do a "jungle Breakfast" on the last day because of the simplicity of it. All it is, is one piece of fruit, one small box of cereal and one pastry. The milk and juice was at the table. The jungle idea came from our troop leaders would hide these items for us to look for them.
For lunch we would usually do something simple like lunch meat sandwiches and chips with fruit, etc. Usually we were not at the campsite so we would have packed lunches for this.
For dinner this was always the best. We would make foil dinners. You would take some veggies i.e.potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, corn on the cobb, squash, etc and cut up bite size pieces of meat and wrap them in foil, season to taste and put them in the campfire to cook. Unwrap and eat. The nice thing with this is you could cut up your veggies and bag up at home, except for potatoes you can either peel on site or peel and cut at home just put into water to prevent browning. You can also marinade you meat beforehand as well. Serve with bread.
Snacks trail mix is always easy, just mix nuts, fruit, cereal, choc chip and m&m together. You mix what you like, I like capn crunch, raisins, salted peanuts, cashews, choc chips, peanut butter chips, butterschotch chips, m&m plain and peanut, reese pieces and banana chips. I know that there is a lot of sweet in this, but I only use the small bags of the candy and larger quanities of the raisins and nuts.
Campfire: take one loaf of sweet egg bread, one can of sweetend and condensed milk and coconut. Cut up the bread into chunks and dip into milk and then dip in coconut. Put on stick and grill over fire like marshmallows, they are done when the coconut is golden brown.
Another is campfire banana splits....
Leave the skin on the banana and slit down the middle, open it up and put your toppings in. Wrap in foil and place in coals until your toppings are melted. Open up scoop out and enjoy. Toppings can be mini marshmallows, choc chips, coconut, peanut butter chips, chopped peanuts, cherries. You can be creative and even healthy on these toppings. Good Luck and have fun......

How do you organize a camping trip?
Smiles
I know nothing about camping and want to organize a trip. How do I find a camp site? What other things should I consider? Is there a fee? What do I need for the trip? Thanks.
Answer
If you go to a campground, there is usually a fee. In NY, that fee runs about $20 / night for a state campground.
I typically make reservations online. The website http://www.reserveamerica.com/ handles the reservations for many campgrounds. I know the sites I go to in New York are handled through reserve america.
In terms of what you need, you will minimally need:
Tent,
Sleeping bags
Mats or mattresses unless you are ok with a harder surface to sleep on
Camp stove (optional but handy)
Lanterns
Flashlights
table cloths for covering the picnic tables
cooking supplies (spatula's, tongs, long forks, knives, cutting boards, silverware or plasticware, cups)
Cooler (s)
Hatchet or Ax, Saw
Hammer (pounding stakes)
Fireside chairs
Appropriate clothes and sundries
(This list could go on forever depending on how rustic or civilized you want to go)
