The absolute easiest camping meal is foil dinners.  Get a hot bed of coals, 
take three sheets of heavy duty tinfoil, and give one to each camper.  Let 
each choose his/her own proportion of meat (hamburger in a patty and/or 
sliced kielbasa work well; you need something with some grease), sliced 
veggies (we use carrots, onions, mushrooms, and potatoes; YMMV), salt and 
pepper.  Fold the long ends of the tinfoil up until they meet, then roll 
them down together; then tuck and roll the short ends in (the goal is a 
sealed tin envelope in which the food cooks by steam and pressure).  Put it 
on the coals; come back 40 minutes later (you can turn it if you want; you 
don't need to, and you risk puncturing the outside).

Shis-kebab works nicely but don't use chicken unless you parboil first.
