hoppepude
Another campsite utility - is this the equivalent of a bouncy castle for kids, or something completely different?
Advice appreciated!

bouncy cushion
A lot of people call this a "bouncy cushion" or a "hopping cushion". I had now way of confirming I am right, but this is what I think it is.

: I'd probably go for this one - it works on the same principle, but is simply an inflated square with no 'castle', so it looks like a giant cushion.
