Camp Kidney, set in the Pimpleback Mountains next to Leakey Lake, is the camp where most of the show takes place.Murray likes 1950s and early 1960s designs of objects like advertising art, lamps, and old vacation brochures, and he said that the "brushy quality that developed at that time" heavily influenced the setting. ![]() He describes the camp as having a "retro" feel. Ultimately, Murray wanted to create a place where nature prevails, and the hustle and bustle of real-life is left behind, with no technology to distract from the impressions of camp life.
