I read a children's book when I was in elementary school back in the
1970s.  It was written either in the 1960s or 1970s.  It had to do
with a brother and sister that were sent to summer camp.  They didn't
want to go and once they got there it was raining and a mess.  They
met this witch and she turned their tent into a place with all sorts of
pinball games and everything a kid could want.  They then have a great
summer. Unfortunately, I do not remember the title of the book. Thanks
SO much for your help!!!

Hello.

I believe that you're thinking of "The Witch's Vacation" (1973) by Norman Bridwell.

The book was first published in 1973 and there were  multiple editions
in the 1970s and 1980s.
