Canned foods are easy - like chili or beans and corn that you can make into a salad. Watermelon is fun during the day and doesn't need refrigeration - you can always put it in the river/lake to cool if you're camping on the water. Another fun thing to do that doesn't require refrigeration is bring russet potatoes, wrap them in foil and throw them in the coals of the fire to cook until soft - makes for easy baked potatoes :)
