we have always camped with no electricity. my friend takes hers and my DH commented i would really be mad if you brought yours. so ive always brought knitting or cross-stitch so i can do something crafty. Last summer we bought a summer home on Lake Huron and he bought me Janome 6600P to use up there. "but i better not catch you sewing inside if it's nice out!" and thats a direct quote. LOL
