Plot

Emma, Ravi, and Zuri leave New York City and head off to Moose Rump, Maine, to spend the summer at Camp Kikiwaka, where their parents met as teenagers. The Ross children and their new friends try their best to adapt to their lives at the camp, which was founded by Jedediah Swearengen and is named after a legendary Bigfoot-like creature that lives in the nearby forest. The camp has a notorious reputation of staying open despite violating various health code and safety regulations.
In "We Didn't Start the Fire", several cabins are destroyed by a fire after a candle is left unattended. In "We Can't Bear It", the Ross children return with a new generation of campers to find the cabins were never rebuilt and Gladys ran away with the insurance money. These children include pageant girl Destiny, cautious boy Mateo, and Lou's messy second cousin Finn. The Ross children then convince their parents to buy Camp Kikiwaka and put them in charge. Eventually, Emma, Ravi, and Zuri agree to sell the camp to Lou while they go pursue their dream jobs. In "Who da Boss? Lou da Boss!" Lou is now in charge of Camp Kikiwaka. While Lou gains Ava and Noah as fellow counselors, Destiny, Mateo, and Finn gain Gwen as a fellow camper.
In "R.V. Having Fun Yet?", new character Parker Preston, who is the great-grandson of Jedediah's partner "Hatchet Joe" Preston who co-owned the Camp Kikiwaka in the past, is introduced. Now Parker has arrived to become the co-owner and improve Camp Kikiwaka in appearance and camper attendance.
In the sixth season, Lou, Parker, Noah, and Destiny head to Dusty Tush, Wyoming, to open up a new camp at a dude ranch, which they purchased from The Marshall. There they encounter another new generation of campers, including fearless daredevil Winnie, enthusiastic cowboy-wannabe Bill, and video-game fanatic Jake.
In the seventh season, Lou, Parker, her right-hand man, and counselors Destiny and Noah accompany her on the final adventure at Kikiwaka Ranch. Winnie the daredevil, gamer Jake, and cowboy Bill are also returning for an exciting summer filled with new experiences.
