The absolute best thing I have ever used to ward off mosquitoes is Avon's Skin So Soft, original scent. I bathe with the soap or shower gel then moisturize with the lotion. Top it of with the bath oil spray and you'll not only smell good, you'll be mosquioe free! Safe for kids, too!

I have also read (but not tried) dryer sheets (ie Bounce, Snuggle) will keep them away. Put them in your tent and the skeeters won't go in. At least that is what I've heard.

Bring campho-phenique or menthlatum to ease the itching if nothing works 100 %.
