Some of my favorites based on a few years of campfire-cooking, in and out
of the SCA:
Pasta and cheese (see e.g. Cariadics Miscellany). Quick, easy, filling.
Store-bought pasta might be cheating, but... A staple.
Potage from meat (Cariadocs Misc.;
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/soups.html#3). Great stuff.
Caboges: (http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/vegetables.html#7). Quick,
easy, etc.)
Capouns in councy (Goodman of Paris (?), Found in, e.g. Maggie Blacks
"Medieval Cookbook"). A bit more work, but great.
Icelandic chicken (http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/poultry.html#1)
Not for cooking in camp (unless ground ovens are period?), but you
can make then in advance and everyone can have one when you
arrive/are fininshed setting up camp/whenever.
Bread: you can make some breads over your campfire if you have either a
"viking style skillet" or a flat, thininsh rock. Let sourdough rise
overnight, and pat into flat cakes (app. 1/2") before baking. Great
tip: mix in leftover porrige.
Porrige: Mix several grains, fruits, etc. Breakfast of (viking) heroes. :-)

P.S. If I only could document pitcooking...
