griffmom - The lights to connect end-to-end.  

Dee4j - Thanks for looking for the Yogi Bear lights.  I can order them from the Jellystone in Frankemuth, MI, but they are $20.  I was hoping to find cheaper ones.

they probably have some trademark, copyright blah blah blah and can only be sold at their parks..maybe ebay

I found a site that I believe is cheesylights.com (not positive)  They have lots and lots of great lights.  I too, love lights.  We have dragonfly ones from IKEA for our PU. But, always looking for more cheesy lights!  I love tropical, so next I'll probably get palm trees or maybe even (Yikes) flamingos!! Do you think I need to move to Florida??? :D

Just ordered 3 sets of the lights and 2 sets of the toasting forks. I just couldn't resist--they are so cute and my 4 y/o will LOVE them! DH probably won't be thrilled that I just spent $40 on MORE camping stuff--as if we didn't already have enough! ;)

A few years ago while vacationing in Sequoia I bought a S'mores ornament and garland.  This was before the S'mores stuff was everywhere and I htought it was so novel and all my camping friends would be so impressed.  Then it started popping up everywhere.  I was warned by a ranger not to put up my garland on the awning as I planned unless I wanted a bear to get close enough to sniff if it was real marshmallows or not!  So it usually is draped over my sink area to make dishwashing more festive.
 
By the way, ornaments from campgrounds/vacations make great souvenirs and bring back camping memories when you're decorating your tree.  I use a sharpie marker to write the year and location so we'll remember in 20 years where the heck we went!

I just got some Luau lights from Michaels craft store for $6.00/ strans of ten and you can plug more than one strand together. They are really cute. I don't know if you saw them this weekend or not, I had them up on my trailer (site #13).

I saw you had some lights on at night, but didn't see what they were.  They sound cute.  I'll have to check them out.  Thanks for the info.  Did you put them on your awning?  We didn't put up our awning, so we put a thin rope from the PU to the tree and strung our dragonfly lights across that.  That worked.

Estelle,
I went for both...my lights are alternating flamingos and palm trees.  I love the flamingo theme for camping.  I have a flamingo wind sock, flamingo marguerita glasses, flamingo lawn ornament, and a flamingo neon light.  Totally cheesy...I love it!  
 
We also have Uncle Sam lights, dragon fly lights, Halloween and Christmas lights.  YIKES.  I really like the s'mores lights too...I already have a lot of Christmas s'mores decorations but I'm thinking the lights are a must.  By the way, the ABC catalog has some great deals if you haven't already seen it.
