Alright, complete confession time. I have often thought that if I brought the right lanterns, some of those boughs of sparkly tinsel wire (that you see in newage stores, for making childlike fairy-looking implements), and the right tent, I could create a look which might fit my estimates of a good "enchanted" encampment. Even Christmas lights would be nice, but out of place...what, bring a battery?! Heh,.. anyways...
I always toy about it in my brain. It would be funny to see my friends spellbound and drawn to a "Faery" campsite, where they would or should, encounter some entertainment. Perhaps a play, or even eghads, whattah performance, me as a storyteller. *sigh* But I'm a fiddler by trade, so it'd have to be a muscial group of a harpist a fiddle and perhaps an accordian... problem being after 10pm some campers with kiddies don't like that much noise! Eh, a sessun wiht a few lullabies at the end might be useful. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'm a crackpot, what? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Every time I go to a medievalist campsite I dream of this. Yet there were so many times when I'd look across a campfire to see the merry face of a good friend and think, "This is the life."
No need for the faery encampment when the company's good and the hearth crackling.
