Review: Campingland
I received this book from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
A perfect summer book! This one is all about a family of 4 (parents and two kids) who decide to go camping! They have ZERO idea what they need to bring, what camping is exactly, and are totally not prepared! So I was 100% prepared for chaos! But they are eager and I loved that. I looked forward to the camping. And the chaos. And boy what a chaos! Which leads them to a special place, Campingland. A dome-like building with safe camping! But is Campingland so fun? I mean, I would have ran immediately at seeing those animatronic animals, those are freaking terrifying as HECK. But our family stays and I love seeing them have fun, but also compare how their campingtrip went before they got to this place, and BOY oh boy, I was just laughing my butt off at all that happened to them (sorry but it was just too funny). From fallen sausage (5 seconds rule??) to skunk hug (never do that) to no toilet paper (just bring some with you man) to mud and poison ivy (OUCH) to much more. It was truly a disaster and I was wondering how the HECK did these people have so much bad luck. Yes, they are novices, nay newbies, nay just stop camping people but it was as if they never have been truly outside. XD
But is Campingland fun? I can imagine that after everything it looks fun. But everything is curated. Everything is handled for them. It is like a kiddie place, all padded, all sweet, no danger, no rain… no excitement. I loved seeing our family realise things, see the bright in the dark, find some great memories, and I am so proud of them in the last pages. Many people would have opted for something else, but they decided on that and I was just cheering for them.
That last page, that had me in stitches. Oh no.
The art was just SO SO much fun and I loved every bit of it!
All in all, a fun camping trip gone rogue and is a curated place really that fun? Find out now in this delightful, laugh out loud, hilarious book perfect for summer!

This looks like a cute read! Humour is a genre I don’t really explore but would love to change that this year.
It was so cute and funny! Oh, if you need more humour books let me know! I got some great ones~
