I was a girl scout forever and grew up with dozens of siblings and cousins. Literally. And no TV. Kids can be resourceful when they have to be.
Our seasonal park has limited, okay no activities, for the kids. Just a beach and a fishing pier. The campground kids seem to stay busy all season. Sometimes its rollerskating, catching fireflies, camp cooking, whittling or setting puzzles. Don't forget the Silly String, the sidewalk chalk or the Chinese lanterns. If someone has a birthday, decorating a campsite is always in order.
The boys like to throw loose change into the grass or sand and pretend to find treasures with a metal detector while making the little kids dig 'em up. They get to keep what they find. Great fun and the older boys get a charge out of intriguing the little kids. The older the boys, the more they just like to hang with the adults or scope out girls.
The girls are always tie-dying something. They like to take people's dogs for walks in exchange for a can of pop. They also like to arrange different scavenger hunts, using the graphics or names on various campers. An arranged game of kickball is always fun. We've shown movies on the side of our camper while the kiddos learn how not to burn Jiffy Pop over the campfire.
My own kids are grown and gone, but we still like to entertain the ones that are still around. Almost anything you can do at home, you can bring to a campground.
