camping recipes for the campfire?

HiI'm looking for some fun and yummy recipes to use with a campfire.We're going to do the obvious ones (s'mores, potatoes and corn on the cob in foil, hot dogs on a stick), but what other things have you made with your campfire?We don't have a tripod with a grill pan or hook, so it has to be something that can be cooked in foil or on a stick/camp fork.We have a table-top grill as well (well, we have a full kitchen because we're borrowing a camper), but I really want to use the fire as much as possibleThanks!
