I think its a great idea.  You should camp in a place where there are
restrooms available and allow people to bring campers, RV's, and 5th
wheels.  This definately won't be "primitive camping".  Usually we hold it
Friday-Sunday with a service on Sunday AM.  

The North Dakota District has done this several times sponsored by the FCF
men.  

Good Luck!
