What are everybody's favourite 'classic' or nostalgic dishes cooked over a campfire?

I have many memories of cooking sausages on a stick, baking potatoes in foil in the embers, and banana and chocolate in foil .. What are some other classics like this I might be forgetting? Timeless campfire classics?

Hi everyone! My friends and I are camping this weekend. We don't have a dutch oven or an iron skillet (broke college students). And so we were thinking why don't we bake brownies in a foil pan. Do you think it's possible?

My plan is to use some charcoal and place the pan on top once the charcoal has greyed.

I have a question. In movies and media, some people prefer to cook pots by suspending it on a tripod. It's heated by tall open flames. When I go camping, I put the cast iron pot directly on a coal bed (this is after the flames die down). Sometimes I put coals on top of the lid.

Is there a reason people would cook pots on a tripod over a flame? I would think using coal beds is simpler and uses less fuel. And a tripod is an extra object you need to have.

When I look this up I get conflicting results so I just wanted to ask people who know the most. Would it be OK to cook hotdogs or marshmallow over a fire if I used lighter fluid to help start it.

I’m going on a camping trip this weekend and I have the whole menu planned except for dinner Saturday night. I would like to cook some kind of big roast to feed 4-6 people. Ideally something that takes a good amount so we can start it early and hangout around camp while it’s cooking.I was thinking about maybe doing something with a dutch oven where I braise it, however I’m not opposed to any ideas or cooking techniques. I also don’t have a spit, but am not opposed to getting one. Thanks in advance!

My wife and I are talking about travel-size cooking gear and we came up with this idea. I have checked some of the camping gear websites but can't find anything.

I’m camping this weekend and it’s going to be very cold, so I need food that will be hearty and hot!

I plan to cook over the campfire with a large cast iron Dutch oven and I will be feeding 6-8 adults. Usually I do stews or chili but that getting boring…

Here is my idea, a one pot meal with layers - starting with some onions and then sliced potatoes on top with some cream and shredded cheese (think au gratin style). On top that a layer of seasoned, boneless, skinless chicken thighs. And on top of that a veg - in thinking broccoli florets but I haven’t committed yet.

Would it be crazy to think that this could not only cook but actually come out well if done over a nice bed of coals?

I’m open to any ideas or suggestions.

I'm working at a school (USA) that is hosting a s'mores themed family event. Given that s'mores are a very cultural snack, I was looking for some campfire snacks that are enjoyed in other countries. Does anyone have any suggestions?
