== [[Literature]] ==
* In one of the [[Bruno and Boots]] books, the students go on the annual "wilderness survival" camping trip, which is nicknamed "Die in the Woods". (The canoe they bring along is christened the SS Drown In The Woods.) {{spoiler|It really does become a matter of wilderness survival when all their supplies end up in the lake.}}
* One of the ''[[Berenstain Bears]]'' books details a horrible camping trip that's tainted not only with everything imaginable from floods to swarms of insects, but [[Hype Backlash]]. (Papa bear spends the first third of the book hyping the trip up to be the experience of a lifetime)
* Outdoor humorist [[Patrick McManus]], who has written for such magazines as ''Field & Stream'' and ''Outdoor Life'' and whose pieces have appeared in numerous books, more or less specializes in chronicling bad camping/fishing/hunting trips.
* [[Three Men in a Boat]] has elements of this.
Line 49:
* In one episode of ''[[Monk]]'', Randy Disher and Adrian Monk go camping with a group of kids. They have to deal with a bear and two criminals.
* ''[[Eureka]]'' has this trope n spades, starting with the tent acting up, and ending with an angry TINY trying to attack them all.
* In an episode of [[Gene Simmons Family Jewels]], 'Alpha Male', Gene's family went off camping in an RV for Sophie's birthday. They dealt with a snake, a bear, and a park ranger with a fire extinguisher.
* [[The Inbetweeners]] did this for their Season 3 finale. It involved sinking a car in a lake, eating raw sausages and then throwing them back up in the tent.
* ''[[Father Ted]]'' episode "Hell"
Line 113:
** In ''The Camping Episode'', where Squidward is continually attacked by a sea bear.
** In the survival episode where Spongebob and Patrick fall out of the back of Sandy's truck and must fend for themselves.
** In the episode with the conch shell where Spongebob and Patrick do fine, but because Squidward doesn't believe in the powers of the conch shell, he's not allowed to eat anything.
* In the ''[[Ka Blam!]]'' episode "The KaBlair! With Project", Henry, June, Mr. Stockdale, Mr. Foot, Henry's mom and Jimmy McGee go on a company camping trip, but they hear the loud roar of a [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bear]] and Mr. Foot freaks out and escapes in the camper, leaving everyone else stranded. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'' has two horrible camping trips:
Line 123:
** Let's put it like this: {{spoiler|The culminating moment was when his father, in a drunken rage, ''shot Orel in the leg''. Then drank the rubbing alcohol that could have kept Orel's leg from getting worse. Then passed out for two days while Orel suffered. Then denied shooting Orel, saying that since he didn't remember it, it wasn't his fault. And was only concerned that Orel killed a bear rather than his son's well-being. And, months later, admitting (in front of the town no less) that he was ''glad'' he shot Orel.}} Yeah, it's that kind of show.
* The [[Barney Bear]] short "Bah, Wilderness" had Barney suffering such indignities as a malfunctioning phonograph, noisy nighttime animals, and ''a flash flood'' while trying to sleep during a camping trip.
* An episode of [[Garfield and Friends]] has them going on a camping trip, against Garfield's will. They end up chased by a bear and have to keep dancing and singing to keep the bear entertained. They end up doing this late into the night Garfield notes that sadly of all the times he's been camping with Jon, this is the best time he's ever had.
* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' gets "Those Who Camp, Do" in which Kick, currently obsessed with a Survival-style tv-show, decides to camp on his own out in the forest rather than the family's camping site. Kick, being who he is, takes on every challenge the wilderness has to offer him like a boss... however, his older brother Brad goes through his worst nightmare while tagging along.
* ''[[Regular Show]]:'' "Camping Can Be Cool". Nobody thought to bring matches, Rigby intentionally forgot the tent and accidentally forgot the tarps, Mordecai locked the keys in the car and the park rangers showed up to yell at them for camping in a restricted area. Then it started to rain. And then Freddy Kreuger showed up...
Line 134:
* ''[[Frasier]]''
* ''[[Family Matters]]''
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'', but they one up it and drop the ''car'' in the lake.
* ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' has an example where they're trapped in the shed by a bear.
* ''[[Good Luck Charlie]]'' features the fishing pole being dropped in the water. They get it back when Teddy falls in the hole.
