I have tried several of the remedies mentioned: dryer sheet(s), mouthwash spray, fogging (never in a campground!), cintronella.
The only ones I've found to work are Skintastic, deep woods off (with lots of deet), or as Larwyn suggested, a very large fan.
I have also observed that many times it boils down to individual bodily chemistry. I get eaten up while folk next to me sit in comfort. And if mosquitoes can detect me from up to 7 miles away, I just hope I get inside before they all get there, because I must appear to be a big dessert smorgasbord to them.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).
Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.
