Cheese requires no cooking and is very forgiving about how you store it.
Do not challenge the bull in its own field. It will take umbrage and you may have regrets.

Some cheese, that is. I would advise against cheddar or anything that has a lot of oil. After a couple of days that oil just leaks everywhere. In my experience, part-skim mozerella has held up the best over long periods w/o refrigeration. Bagels hold up well as far as breads go, as does hard salami.
Remember rope and a tarp.
Are you sleeping in a tent?

Thanks for all the great suggestions (maybe I'll skip the lawyer and the instant mashed potato which is the DEVIL'S FOOD, but I *will* attempt to whittle an obscene item, just for hstencil). No doubt I will report back on what we forgot, what we used, what was pointless and whether the Olde Tea Shoppe would actually serve us in muddy boots.

Don't forget, beer=fun.

We didn't use: spare torch batteries, penknife (boo!), sun cream, spare socks.
I wish we'd taken: ziploc bags for opened food items, a hand mirror so I could have ventured out without looking like an orang-utan, and booze. (We were told not to bring alcohol onto the site but looking at the number of empty bottles in the bins area, it didn't seem that others observed that rule, and maybe I would have slept better). I didn't sleep well. Because there were rats. And very high winds.

We filled up a van with secondhand sofas last time we went. You can get collapsible jobs in Asda for less than a tenner, but they're still a bugger to carry.
Wait a minute. You brought sofas? Now you're talking my language. Sofa Sherpas!

i always get a complex about that and if someone spawns in front of me I'll quickly head off without dealing with them, and just try and wait around the corner. obv more often than not they just shoot me in the back. so much for being the nice guy.
this world is not for me, evidently

It is dirty. It may well be ugly. Its resale value is near zero. But these facts means nothing to a determined practical joker.

So everyone tell me your favorite east coast camping spots - anywhere within a day's drive or so of NYC. I'm looking to plan a long road trip with camping involved. I'm looking for natural beauty and non-overcrowdedness. I'm willing to rought it a bit in exchange, but i'm not a super-experienced camper.

Baby wipes, can't stress importance enough. Baby wipes.

I am also interested in this list. Although maybe more so in places accessible by metro north or Amtrak, or those plus bus and walk or cycle.

the delaware water gap is really nice for close to nyc-ness

Do you have any particular Delaware Water Gap spots you like? My one camping experience there was kind of miserable, even though the hike was nice.
