We'll have a grill and a full kitchen (cabin in the woods), but don't want things that take a lot of time to prepare or use a bunch of ingredients. Anything other than hot dogs and baked beans, please. Thanks!

The suggestions so far are great - I could use a few more details, though! Give me a recipe if you have one - thanks!

slice up some potatoes, add some sliced onions & put in sliced bacon, cut up in to thirds.start the bacon 1st so the potatoes won't stick to the pan. once those are started then addd your potatoes & onions, stirring frequently til the potatoes are golden brown or are easy to cut

This ain't 'camping' if you have a full kitchen.
Go for the simple stuff you like at home, with some twists.
Pasta dishes- spaghetti and sauce with sausages for example.
Mexican- although some thigns like tacos may require a lot of different ingredients, fajitas are great if you have a grill available.
Omlets, crepes, stews, casseroles... you have almost every option on Earth available. The main limitation WE find is that we don't want to haul too many cooking pots along.
Some sample dishes we did on vacation in our cabin in the woods with primarily a large cast iron skillet include:
- Deep dish pizza (delish!)
- Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, peppers, etc. (was going to be omlets, but that did not work out!)
- Americanized 'Bangers and mash'- sausages and roughly mashed taters or a hot potato salad.
- Tuna noodle casserole
- Great chili and cornbread with jalepnos in it
Have fun!

My best idea is to be prepared! Put your marinates in good ziplock bags with you meat for the whole time you will be camping.Then just stick them into the freezer or fridge when you get there. It will save you time and energy and lots less prep and cleanup time taken out of your vacation! You can make up cookie recipes keeping the dry ingred. in one bag and the wet in another bag. Mix and bake! Buy frozen veggies so if you miss a day of cooking you will not have ruined food.Take plenty of fruits and carrots, celery stks for snacking. If it is there, they will eat it!You can make a cocoa mix with Nestles cocoa mix, 2 qts of coffee creamer, and 2 c. powered sugar. Mix well and store in an airtight container(or in separate small baggies for each cup or 2 cup portions if you have med age kids who want to do things for themselves).It is easy to see how many true portions are left and you won't unexpectedly run out. The recipe really calls for powdered milk also but I stopped using it and just use more creamer. I get the largest store brand creamer and the store brand cocoa to cut costs and it is just as good. To make each cup add about 1/3 c of mix to 1 cup of hot water. DO NOT put the mix in the water and heat in the micro or you will have a boiled over mess!For your spagetti and taco nights have your hamburger already browned and bagged. I like to boil mine in a little water to get rid of the extra stuff that is in HB and then drain and brown it. You get a better taste and no fat or additives. I do it this way for meatloaf also. Anyway brown the meat and put the portions in freezer bags labled with what they are for. You can make all of you HB patties beforehand also. This sounds like a lot of work but you will not carry extra heavy cans and jars and have so much trash and preparation time while you are SUPPOSED to be vacationing. did you ever notice that mom still has to cook and make sure everybody gets taken care of? When does her vacation start? Well, never because as soon as the kids leave home and mom helps furnish their home and give recipes and furnish seasonings for their daughter who "forgot to get any" then they start bringing over grandbabies!!Moms- the contract we sign by literally have sex is a lifetime committment!Have a great trip!

About a week before my family and I go camping, I make homemade chili and freeze it. When we get there I just thaw and heat it. Another of our favorites is steak marinaded in Italian dressing (let it sit for a few hours in the fridge). We throw that on the grill and serve with corn on the cob. Our kids favorite is Jiffy-Pop brand popcorn that we eat by the campfire!

Marinated boneless chicken breast - stored in a ziploc bag until ready to toss on the grill.
Sweet corn on the cob - also cooked on the grill in the husks. (Soak corn in water for at least an hour before grilling)
Pasta salad - prepared ahead of time & stored in a serving saver container.

Get some kielbasa and cut it to fit hotdog buns. Charcoal grill it till it's hot (get the precooked kind that you only have to heat up), throw it on a hotdog bun and put some BBQ sauce on it. It's really good.

Take some stew beef, sliced potato and onion, 1/2 corn on the cob, wrap up good in tin foil, throw in the coals of your fire, twenty minutes its done and yummy.....If you don't care about calories put in some butter or olive oil before wrapping.

Hmm... first off.... S'MORES! You can't go camping without s'mores... what else? Um... oatmeal, pancake mix, trail mix, and maybe some sandwiches like peanut butter and jelly, chicken, turkey, ham, bologna, or tuna. =)
