What we have done in the past is put our camcorder in a large ziplock bag. This way, when it is in our backpack, and if it rains, or the bag gets wet the camcorder stays dry. They work great, and especially the sizes of them now, most of them should fit. We will be definately be taking ours this time, as we will be going with a co-woker and her three kids, and this is their first trip EVER, anywhere. So I think they will LOVE to look back on their trip.
