Surprisingly after checking the examples it does seem like we ''do'' have enough examples that all fit with the Consensus on CampingEpisode. There are more people that agree with CampingEpisode as a name than not, and it has five hats.

Since kjnoren seems to be assuming people [[ViewersAreMorons won't get the trope]] and will exclude examples from other media from the page (which is not true given how other pages are treated) I guess we could add a paragraph in the description to clarify that as a sort of compromise. Although I personally think people are smart enough to discern it and I don't think that's necessary.

For the most part though I agree with CrypticMirror we should [[JustLaunchItAlready Just Launch This Already]].

proposed paragraph:

A CampingEpisode is used to keep the story and the characters fresh by changing the circumstances for the characters, and having an excuse for them to grow. Other types of isolated stories within a work like single issues in a comic or a movie sequel that has the characters leave their usual setting to go camping would also be {{Camping Episode}}s. Because of the nature of this trope you'll generally only see a work use a CampingEpisode once or twice.
