My husband and I will be going to a primitive campground next month. I haven’t found any info on their website about whether or not they have something you can use to cook.
Do most primitive sites have grates that can be used over fires for cooking? I haven’t been camping in 20 yrs, and I’m clueless about what to bring.
If you camp, what kind of meals do you cook? What about things like milk and eggs? Just keep them in a cooler? Thanks.

In my experience, primitive sites do not have fire grates unless they are controlled by the government or state. And even then, there is a shot that you won’t have a grate. So the rule of the boy scouts is to be prepared. Take a small grill that you can use with firewood or with just charcoal.
Take charcoal with you as well as matches and lighter fluid. Some places do not allow you to bring firewood into the campsite for fear of bring critters into their forest preserve.
Plan each meal so that you have enough for the entire time. Pack stuff in Zip loc bags so that when your ice melts, you won’t lose the food.
Take a water-tote so you can carry water into your campsite.
Don’t forget a lantern and flashlight as well as tp and that’s not an Indian Tee Pee either. (toilet paper)
I suppose you should not forget your tent either.

Most primitive campgrounds have grates for cooking. But you have to be sure of the fire level warning before your go. Sometimes, when there is a high fire threat level, the campgrounds are either closed or burning wood is prohibited.
With camping, you can cook pretty much what you cook at home, provided you have the right equipment and ar willing to invest the time.
There are staples, such as hot dogs and hamburgers. You can also make has browns, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, rice, noodles, steak, chicken, pork chops, etc.
If you have a cast iron skillet, a camping dutch oven, and a few saucepans, your cooking can be virtually unlimited.
You can do a an online search for camping recipes and get a lot of good ideas.
Good luck!
