Well, have been camping many years and this year we saw a first - the group (about 4 families) next to us brought a projector and showed movies on the side of their van. Oh and they also brought a small bouncy castle and bubble machine!

Amazing!

Actually while I think of it had another first when we arrived back at said site and flock of sheep had invaded the camping field. Kids loved helping the farmer round them up and chase them back into their field.

Actually also had a first earlier in the summer, on a lovely little quiet camspite in Wales and came back to find three piggies rampaging around the field and troughing at our unwashed dishes . Had to herd them off with pig nuts back to their field.

Never a dull moment camping!

I've seen bubble bottles on several occasions this year camping and consequently informed the parents that the mixture will damage the waterproofing of a tent if a bubble lands on it. All of them had no idea that this was the case and immediately confiscated the bubble mixture. They seem harmless and cheap forms of entertainment for the children if you don't know the consequences of these and washing up liquid....

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

I suppose the outdoor projector thing could either be great fun for other campers too or most annoying if you have a loud film on and families outside watching.  As long as it was not too loud and/or they let you watch too (or at least the kids) then I think it would be fun.

We went to a car show a couple of years ago and there was a   hot rod club there with their huge plasma tv and karaoke machine, they had a great time singing their little hearts out until gone 2am when their generator finally ran out power.
