^The idea to make this trope about any story with an incident of camping has made a lot of people put forward examples that are very chairsy. I hate to think what examples it would get if it were on the wiki in that state. People were putting forward things like them camping in Harry Potter in the Deathly Hollows where camping wasn't relevant to anything in the book. It was just an incidental extension of them being [[SternChase on the run]]. Next we'll get examples from {{Pokemon}} because the characters in the show put up a tent sometimes. Even though the focus and setting aren't even about the camping but about the journey, and the various mons.

Expanding the description to talk about what people do while camping will help somewhat. However it would need to exclude some stories where camping's not relevant to prevent that misuse.

Oh and to the question asked earlier. ''Goblet of Fire'' is unfortunately the one book in the Harry Potter series I've never reread. Since I rented it at a library. I don't really know that book as well, and I have no reference point to answer whether the camping at the Quidditch world cup would be a good example or not.
