        Wow... That's the third reply now trashing the idea of going camping and watching a movie. It's starting to sound almost as unpopular as my yoghurt and fried eggs breakfast... :~ FWIW: with the right companion, it can be a very enjoyable activity. And i also enjoy drive-in movies, for similar reasons. Don't knock what you haven't tried...

            normally the purpose of camping is to get back to basics, get in touch with nature... then shoot it :-\

              Sounds suspiciously like hippie-hunter crap to me. What's a vacation without CodeProject? :-\

                Picture yourself in another campsite close by hoping to get away for some relaxing time in nature leaving the cares of civilization behind. Then well into the night you can see the glow of a TV and hear someone watching Rambo 23 and all the previous Rambos after that. X| Drive in movies are fine because you expect to hear and see a movie. Camping trips bring to mind campfires and the like.

                  Campfires, drunk campers carousing, periodically wandering off into the woods to drag new combustibles back to the fire, breaking bottles, anguished cries of the sorry camper who thought bug spray worked better ah flambe... :-\

                      I have a 2 year old and a 7 year old both weeks away from having tonsils removed. They both tire quickly, become cranky quickly and well... a movie is a better than medicine in my book.:cool:

They both tire quickly, become cranky quickly and well... a movie is a better than medicine in my book.:cool: I can drug them or lull them. I prefer to avoid medicine. It worked a treat and I had no idea how many times we would need to let them decompress. They flat out went "negative" in short order.
