Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A camping holiday [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] for any of a number of reasons.
* '''Straight''':
** Alice and Bob go on a camping holiday and get CabinFever.
** Clare and Dave are on a camping trip, but find themselves in a RainRainGoAway situation.
** Emma and Frank have gone to the campsite for the weekend, but can't light a fire.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Either those on the holiday end up dead for some reason, or a disaster leads to the entire campsite being destroyed.
** Campers cannot light a fire [[EpicFail while it is]] ''[[HowUnscientific raining]]''.
** A CampingEpisode in the series ends with everyone dead and the world destroyed.
** DontGoInTheWoods
* '''Downplayed''': Alice, Bob, Clare, Dave, Emma or Frank get homesick on the camping holiday.
* '''Justified''':
** It's their first time camping, and they do not know how to do this correctly. This one ties in with the 'cannot light a fire' scenario.
** Alternatively, misfortune follows the campers everywhere they go.
* '''Inverted''': The camping trip goes very well.
* '''Subverted''': Alice, Bob, Clare, Dave, Emma and[=/=]or Frank imagines that the trip will go wrong, but it does not.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Until something happens and the trip is judged to have gone wrong.
* '''Parodied''': The ruined holiday was staged, but things happened that [[GoneHorriblyRight genuinely did not go their way]].
* '''Zig Zagged''': Things go wrong one day, and things go right the next.
* '''Averted''':
** There is no camping trip.
** For another aversion, see 'Inverted' above.
* '''Enforced''': It's a camping comedy, things have to go wrong.
* '''Lampshaded''': "God, this makes me think I do not want to go camping again!"
* '''Invoked''': The campers have an enemy (let's say he or she is their main enemy) who appears in dramatic fashion and ruins the holiday.
* '''Exploited''': The ruined holiday was staged as a fraud.
* '''Defied''': A camping trip is considered, but not embarked on because the holidaymakers think things will go wrong.
* '''Discussed''': "How come disaster follows us on our camping holidays?"
* '''Conversed''': "I hear Alice and Bob's last camping trip was a nightmare."
