When camping with my friend's mom, we usually eat pretty well with just a 2-burner stove and a campfire.
She marinates beef shortribs in teriyaki (Kikkoman works well for this because it's less sugary) and then cooks them on a grate over the campfire. She also does teriyaki wings on the grate. We also frequently grill sausages, or cook kebabs and sausages on sticks in the fire.
As for recipes using the campstove, soups are good. There is a Girl Scout recipe called brownie stew that calls for a pound of ground beef plus a couple cans of Campbell's alphabet soup (there are hundreds of variation on this basic recipe, so you can adjust it for preferences). Soups give you a lot of ability to play around--plus, you can pack all the things to make your soup in the soup pot. Chili is always a camp favorite; you can easily adjust the heat levels to make a very mild chili if necessary by seasoning it yourself. You could do chili dogs, with hot chili from the campstove, and people can roast their own dogs over the fire. Just don't forget the onions or Tabasco, for those who like their chili spicy.
Another thing my friend's mom does is bag up all sorts of cut mixed veggies for us to munch on. She also serves us potatoes and onions wrapped in foil and cooked in the coals. Yum. We've also done corn on the grill. Very tasty.
