what is your first meal you have when you get to the campsite?
Last summer our favorite first meal was a chicken caesar salad. We would buy the bag mix with all ingredients except the chicken and just add some cooked chicken. Quick and easy to do following set-up. And, the only clean up required was throwing away a paper plate.
For us, a lot depends on when we arrive. Frequently, we're arriving late enough that we've eaten dinner/supper on the road, so the first meal is breakfast - and there's no breakfast on your list! :p

While the first Meal is usually burgers/dogs/sandwiches ... the first Food is whatever I give the kids to eat at the picnic table while I attempt to back the PU in! [/FONT]
Sandwiches are the easiest. We have 4 of our own kids, and usually 1 or 2 foster kids with us. So cooking after driving and listening for a few hours is not going to happen.

It depends on how far the trip is and what time of day were get there. We don't have a set "first" meal.:)
I voted fast food, but it really depends on when we arrive. If it's our most often weekend trips when we can't leave until after work on a Friday, we just usually grab something before we get to the campground. However, if we can arrive early enough in the day to be set up and relaxed first, I'd rather cook a meal on the grill.
I voted fast food but we usually will buy one or 2 of those chicken meal deals at the grocery store and eat it when we get to the campsite. Or we will get a bucket of KFC if we splurge.

Usually burgers/dogs. We like to get the grill going as soon as we get there and after traveling it is a quick/easy meal that all of us enjoy.
Memorial Weekend 2005. Arrived at campground, got combi-camp opend in about 30 seconds, put the quick set canopy up (10 minutes) went out to pick up chinese food and brought back to campground. Noshed on egg rolls and pork fried rice at the picnic table and watched people setting up their campers for the long weekend. Dinner and a show! Best meal Ever! :!
No place to check- Margarita!!!
We like to get all set up and then go out for pizza and beer. :D I guess our first meal at the campsite would then be s'mores and pudgie buddies over the campfire.
Once we get to the campsite, we are THERE :D .....we have ARRIVED :! .....life is GOOD :-() and we're not going anywhere.
We'll usually start a fire throw in a few potatoes, wrapped in foil, let it burn down some then throw on a couple steaks.... :D .
If a wanted fast food (which I don't) I'd stay home (or go to my daughter's house) ;) .
