Default Camper Lanterns

Where is the best place to buy decorative holiday lanterns for a camper? I don't usually do this but this year I have decided to be more festive around holidays.

I don't know about holiday lanterns but I just came across some great solar powered hanging lanterns. They were about $20.00 and fold flat. I thought that would be a great light source in a camper.

x2. I have battery operated LEDs and would love to get solar powered at a reasonable price. Wally World here wants ~$60.

I like the idea of the solar powered ones. You don't always know if you are going to have electricity for a plug, and I am not one who is good about replacing batteries.

We try to stick with the LED's too just because almost anything else in our house is. I guess we could use a torch if we really had to but if I had to pick a lantern I would want an old style/vintage one.

Peggy and I consider ourselves delightfully tacky we have been buying those cheap party light strings for years. Google party lights and the sky is the limit. True ya can get new high tech ones now, but the little plastic things with christmas lights in them are the clasic style. Here is a list of some but not all we have owned over the years. you guys ever have any different??
Pigs in chef hats and aprons alternating with bbq pits
Jalapeno peppers
large mouth bass
railroad lanterns
chinese lanterns
smiley faces
American flags
palm trees alternating with pink flamingos
assorted fruit
Those are ones I rememberThey work great and last pretty good eventually heat gets to them they fade get brittle and a strong wind will scatter the flamingos through the camp site. In a way that works out good. By the time they wear out ya ready for a change anyways.

PartyLights.com, the largest online source for party lights, string lights, commercial grade lighting, paper lanterns and more!
Here's a link happy shopping.

I've seen some that have a little teardrop camper shaped lights. They were pretty funny and I wish I had bought them at the time I found them, but I didn't. There is a Christmas World or something of the sort in Pigeon Forge, TN. that may have something you are looking for. IDK if they have an online presence or not though.

I would love to get one myself and might need to look into it more. We are on a business trip this weekend and near a huge camping store so I might need to take a peek and check the new place out.
