Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonOct 11, 2018
Season 1 Review: A very funny, quasi-cringy series that takes the Sartre-esque point of view into the great outdoors. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverSep 21, 2018
Season 1 Review: Girls collaborators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner have adapted the British version of this comedy into a wickedly funny, unnerving eight-episode. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Created and co-written by Lena Dunham, Camping is replete with characters who are more layered than they initially appear. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKristen BaldwinOct 5, 2018
Season 1 Review: When Camping allows itself to dial back the quirk, it delivers some laugh-out-loud moments and emotional observations about marriage and femininity. ... Camping is not perfect, but if it allows Jennifer Garner to explode with the white-hot rage of aggrieved womanhood, it will all be worth it. Read full review

Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallOct 11, 2018
Season 1 Review: Camping is not an easy watch, even when things are relatively peaceful among the group. But the performances are all strong, and the writing tends to find more empathy for its characters--Kathryn included--than they often have for one another. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Fine actors, one and all, saddled with playing caricatures who have one or two thinly drawn storylines apiece. Read full review

USA TodayKelly LawlerOct 12, 2018
Season 1 Review: There are moments when Camping feels a little pointlessly misanthropic, and others where it just feels random. In the middle are a few laughs, a few good performances and a little bit of that "Girls" sense of humor. Read full review
