I'm a bit more rustic than most of you when it comes to camping.
The food that says, "Camping" to me is;
freshly caught fish or small game cooked over hard wood coals,
along with foraged herbs and greens.
Wild fruits, vegetables and nuts when in season.
One of the best times for me to go camping is in the late spring.
Ramps(wild leeks), watercress, dandelion greens, flower blossoms,
garlic, wild scallion(onion grass), ginger and oregano are up, brown
and rainbow trout are active, ducks are migrating into the region,
rabbits are out of hibernation. YUM-YUM!!
I do bring from civilization: salt, pepper, citrus and olive oil.
Everything else I eat is what nature provides.
General basics would be Bacon and pancakes for breakfast, bonus points for real maple syrup.
Pot of Chilli con carne for supper. And beer has to fit in there somewhere.
Bread can be a nusance for camping, it takes up room and easily gets smashed so tortillas are the way to go when we camp. And so much can be done with tortillas.
I created 'camping crepes' many years ago.
Warm up the torts, smear some cream cheese and pineapple-apricot preserves (or any other to your liking) and roll them up.
We also make 'pizzadillas' with tortillas. Put tomato/marinara sauce on top and bottom tortillas, put cheese and what ever else you like on your pizza and brown both sides in a cast iron.
Yummy!

To each their own - if we all liked the same things, it'd be real boring.
I camp to have fun and to relax - not be Pocahontas

I don't have any particular food for camping that I don't eat when I'm not camping. My wife cooks dinner just about every night of the week except Thursday when we go to our favorite Mexican restaurant. She works part time for a financial investment firm, so some of the time I have dinner ready or started when she gets home. We never eat processed or packaged foods, mostly meat of some kind and fresh vegetables. We eat the same general thing when we are camping because at home most of the meat we eat is cooked on a natural gas grill, as are potatoes that are baked. We do use a crock pot at home for small roasts with vegetables included. We have a pot of beans at times, or spaghetti or stir fry. Breakfast while we are camping is often bacon and eggs, sometimes pancakes are added, or maybe French toast. We also eat scrambled eggs with cheese, onions, mushrooms and bacon bits added. I make omelets often with onion, cheese, mushrooms, and bacon bits added. We also have 'home fries' or hash brown potatoes with the scrambled eggs. We hardly ever eat cereal or Oak Meal. The same thing is our breakfast fare at home. It is seldom we eat fast food, I haven't been inside of a McDonald's for over 5 years, and I don't miss it.
