Plot Synopsis

Based on the British series of the same name, CAMPING is a half-hour comedy series that chronicles a camping trip to celebrate Walt's 44th birthday. What was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature -- at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife Kathryn -- becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman-on-woman crime for a trip that gathers Kathryn's meek sister, her holier than thou ex-best friend, and a free-spirited tagalong in one place.

Kathryn is a controlling LA mom who is far less cheerful than her Lululemons imply. She directs the weekend's proceedings with an iron grip, until she's faced with a woman who undoes all her best-laid plans. Walt is an obedient husband and a loving father, the reliable lynchpin of his male social group, but below that reality lurks a subtle but growing discontent about what he's just signed up for. Jandice is a woman of many talents: a DJ, a reiki healer and a certified public accountant. Her life may seem ideal, but the reality is far less. Smack dab in the middle of a midlife crisis, the recently separated Miguel now expresses his instability through a youthful wardrobe and very strange life choices. Carleen has spent her life in the shadows as Kathryn's sister. Timid and terrified, she must rely on her own strange passions, such as crocheting, to get her through the lonely days. Nina-Joy is the friend you go to for everything: best massage, best jeans, best oatmeal. But her tension with Kathryn over a breach of confidence threatens to topple the weekend. George is loyal, goofy and infinitely game. He's as obsessed with his best friend, Walt, as he is with his wife, Nina-Joy, and just under the surface of this affable boom operator simmers barely repressed rage that can stop any singalong. Harry is the tough-talking, nature-loving queen of the campsite; her passion for her wife, Nan, is surpassed only by her passion for all other women and an assortment of arms.
