Summary[]
It’s campers versus glampers as Strawberry’s berry friends compete to see which is the better way to camp.
Plot[]
Strawberry Shortcake and some of her friends set up their tents and camping equipment in a forest. As Orange Blossom wonders where everyone else is, a large campervan arrives to their camping spot with Bread Pudding, Raspberry Tart, Lime Chiffon and Sour Grapes coming out of it. The four came for glamping instead of camping and the Berry Besties are divided by their idea of camping. Strawberry tells them that they can do both of them but Orange Blossom decides to take this as a competition between the glampers and campers with the winning team getting to decide everything for the rest of the weekend. They start their competition despite Strawberry's pleas for it to not be a competition.
The first contest is about getting rid of bugs, the automatic fly swatter of the van gives the glampers a disadvantage as it slaps anything but the bug and Blueberry Muffin scores for her team by asking the flies to go away nicely in their language. While Lemon Meringue struggles to start a fire, the next contest is about fishing. Raspberry orders sushi quickly which earns her team a point. Huckleberry Pie says that music is the best way to relax when camping and gets blasted by the loud speakers of the van which malfunctions shortly after. His team earns a point as he plays an instrument for music and not electronically. Lemon finally starts a fire but after seeing how easily Lime started hers with just a click of a button Lemon unintentionally sets off her small fire with her own sweat. The last challenge is on what they'll eat for dinner, and because the glampers' options are a lot better than the camper's, they won but the van runs out of fuel which panics the glampers because they don't have their luxuries anymore.
Orange agrees to let the glampers stay with them as long as they say that camping is better. But before that can be said, it suddenly rains and everyone runs into the van. Strawberry thanks the earth for bringing her divided friends together and also gets in the van. She is glad that her friends can both camp and glamp together but wants to see the stars. Raspberry opens an app that projects the ceiling of the van to a stary background. Her phone runs out of battery which stops the projection and she asks if anybody has a charger for her phone.
