[[caption-width-right:340:Where the zombies drool, where spooks are cool, and where you shouldn't eat that food![[note]]From left to right: Rosebud, Sawyer, Gretchen, Armand, [=McGee=], Squirt, and Slimey[[/note]]]]

''Camp Lakebottom'' is a Canadian animated series produced by Creator/NineStoryMediaGroup that aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in its home country, as well as on Creator/DisneyXD in the U.S. It was created by Eric Jacobson and Betsy [=McGowen=], and ran for 64 episodes over 3 seasons between 2013 and 2017.

Summer has arrived! That means it's time to for kids to go to summer camp, and ever-eager 12-year-old [[ThePrankster McGee]] couldn't be more thrilled to spend his summer at Camp Sunnysmiles, the most elite summer camp in all of Canada -- even if he has to spend his time there with his overbearing sister, [[AlphaBitch Suzi]]. But thanks to Suzi and rich jerk [[TheRival Jordan Buttsquat]] (whose dad owns Camp Sunnysmiles), he, along with an aloof girl named [[DeadpanSnarker Gretchen]] and a big, softhearted goof named [[FriendToAllLivingThings Squirt]], wind up taking the bus to the creepy, old summer camp across the lake known as [[SummerCampy Camp Lakebottom]]. It's a gloomy wreck of a camp, staffed by a friendly zombie named [[FriendlyZombie Sawyer]], a fancypants sasquatch named [[BigHeartedBigfoot Armand]], and a short, surly lunchlady named [[CampCook Rosebud]]. Though spooked at first, the trio find out Camp Lakebottom isn't such a bad place to spend the summer after all, even despite the freaky and supernatural stuff that occurs there regularly. The only thing that stands in the way of these kids, their counsellors, and their summer fun is their rivalry with Buttsquat and Suzi over whose camp is better.

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: "Cluck of the Were-Chicken".
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Sawyer doesn't desire to eat brains. He's just a big friendly undead guy.
** Although a throwaway line PlayedForLaughs at the end of "Zombie Dearest" has him say that he ''does'' desire to eat brains (and regularly fantasizes about eating the brains of the campers), he just chooses not to act on it so he can be a camp counselor.

'''Gretchen''': No, but they can eat us!
* SimilarSquad:
** The kids find Camp Bottomlake in an underwater cave, containing FishPeople versions of themselves and a GiantSquid version of Buttsquat. There aren't any counselors to be found though (it's implied that the Buttsquid may have had something to do with that).
** In "Now With 100% More Portal", The Bottom Dwellers went to a different dimension where they meet their zombified selves, alongside with the counselors. [[spoiler: (Except for Sawyer, who is trying to survive in his dimension.)]]
** In "Tur-Keepin' It Real", there are turkeysaurus versions of the Bottom Dwellers and the counselors.
* SpoiledBrat: Buttsquat.
* SummerCampy: Naturally.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Sawyer's left hand contains everything, but for some reason he most prominently wields the chainsaw.
* TakenForGranite: In "Gnome Force", Papa Gnome does this to the counselors with his monocle after demonstrating with several items, including a head of cabbage, a bucket, a chicken, and [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a rock]].
* TakingTheBullet: In "Late Afternoon of the Living Gitch", Gitchy (who is a pair of Squirt's underpants that has been brought to life) leaps in front of [=McGee=] to take a shot of super-strength fabric cleaner fired by Buttsquat. This is played exactly like this trope, including the dramatic slo-mo.
* TearingThroughTheMovieScreen: In "Cluck of the Were-Chicken", the campers at Camp Sunnysmiles are watching a 3-D movie about a were-chicken when an actual were-chicken tears through the screen. Buttsquat complains about how unrealistic the special effects are.
* TheTeaser: Episodes open with a clip of the climatic scene, framed as a (title) postcard from [=McGee=] to his mother with a quip about plot events.
* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Gretchen is the tomboyish deuteragonist to the antagonistic GirlyGirl Suzi.
* TerrifyingTiki: [=McGee=] and his friends unleash one of these in "The Great Tiki Hunt".
* ToiletPaperPrank: In "Late Afternoon of the Living Gitch", Buttsquat attempts to wrap Lakebottom in toilet paper. However, he ends up wrapped in toilet paper and hanging from a tree.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Popcorn for Gretchen and marshmallows for Armand.
* TrapDoorFail: In "Stage Fright", Gretchen attempts to sabotage Suzi's audition by opening a trap door on the stage.

* TwoGuysAndAGirl: [=McGee=], Squirt, and Gretchen are the main characters of the show.
* UnconventionalFoodUsage: In "Fanboy Freakout", Gretchen uses chocolate to create fake Sasquatch droppings. (ItMakesSenseIncontext.)

* WalkThePlank: GhostPirate [[CaptainColorbeard Captain Spitbeard]] tries to make [=McGee=] walk the plank (off a flying ship) in "Pirates of Ickygloomy". He ends up going off the plank himself.
* WeaponizedCar: Buttsquat's Beach Blitzer in "Slimeball Run". Its weapons include missiles, a dart gun, and a giant magnifying glass.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: A surname example. What kind of family would keep the name "Buttsquat"?
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Gretchen is afraid of chipmunks, although the events of "Cheeks of Dread" seemingly cure her.
* WorldOfWeirdness: Oh, where do we begin? In case you couldn't guess from the premise or the fact that the place is staffed by a zombie, sasquatch, and a cook with the grossest food on her menu, the titular Camp Lakebottom is a good ol' fashion hotspot for such strangeness as a desert complete with a mummy's tomb, access to a LostWorld, a tree that lets one time travel, is near a forest with countless spooks, and even the very wildlife is weird and dangerous such as giant talking raccoon bandits and demon chipmunks with a taste for flesh. And you cannot overlook how the counselors themselves have a vast collection of supernatural and possessed objects such as a titan held prisoner in a tv set or the remains of an evil sentient rally truck.
* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: In "Smells Like The Holidays", [=McGee=] inadvertently causes Squirt [[ItMakesSenseInContext to vow never to fart again and to seal himself inside a smell-proof bubble]].
