laser lights and fog machines... too much?

Same here

 

It would be a great one-time gag at a group camping event, but...

 

Hmmm...throw some pyrotechnics too...people from all around will rush towards with bells ringing...... poof

 

Hi

Actually, I think it would pretty cool to see such a rig because it would be so out of the ordinary. I'd come over and chat with you about your setup. (With my background in theatrical lighting, I'm gonna' guess that you're using DJ-type stuff, because in most places you need a license for real laser, and true laser is expensive gear anyway.) However, even the smallest fog machine will fill your camper pretty quickly, too; you might want to be aware that some "Helpful Harry" three sites away will see your fog and call in a fire alarm. I had that happen on an outdoor show many years ago.

This may be where you meet some problems if you forget that others ARE into looking at the night sky. As long as you keep your show contained -- in the camper or under the awning -- you probably won't bother too many folks as they can simply walk away. But If you start hanging your stuff in the trees or spraying it all over the site, you're sure to have some stiff opposition.

Additionally, you really need to watch the level on your music -- if your music impinges on somebody else's camping pleasure, you're over the line. If you like it loud and thumping wear headphones! (And yes, you can get wireless 'phones so you can walk around or sit outside.)

It does sound like a fun set-up as long as you remember you're not the only one in the CG. Consideration for others will go a long way in gaining their acceptance.

how much for cover?

and you should hire someone to watch for those guys

 

Ditto.

 

Yes too much

 

How is the fog being made? I hope not with dry ice if you are using it in your camper.

 

I too like, out of the ordinary because I am out of the ordinary. Just ask DW.
I don't think I would have any problems with it at least not once. After the first time, I think I would get tired of it.
Are you a DJ? My guess is,yes, but I may be wrong.

 

A good rule of thumb is that if you have to ASK if something is too much, annoying or inappropriate that it probably is.

 

Ya... I planned to win best costume at this years Halloween party at the CG.
I still believe I had the best one but one of the permanent site members won with everyone of them getting together and voting for her. Oh well. That is life as an outsider.

 

Based on your updates, I don't really think it would be offensive to others. A little "out there" maybe, but quirky can be fun.

 

It is so smoky at most campgrounds you could probably have a big laser show without the fog machine. I don't think that I would mind as long as it stopped at quiet time. I know that my kids would like it.
At some campgrounds you can do anything. At a campground next to MT Deception in NH my friends would shoot 1/4 sticks into the air with a sling shot at 3 am and we never had a problem.

 

I don't want to be mean but if somebody was putting of 1/4 sticks off at 3 AM where I am staying, there would be a problem.

 

I totally agree. This campground was the extreme. Loud stereos , giant bond fires, destroyed bathrooms. I went there about 25 years ago, I drove by about ten years ago and it looked the same. . I wonder what it is like now
It was all young partying campers. The quarter sticks were incredibly loud and would echo off the mountains. I would not even think about camping there now.
