Episode summary
Hoping to "bond" with son Lamont (Demond Wilson) before his marriage, Fred (Redd Foxx) talks Lamont into embarking upon a camping trip. Things go from bad to worse as the truck breaks down in the tall timbers, and Fred and Lamont are stranded, without food, in a snowstorm. Although not readily apparent, this is a "clip" show, comprised of flashbacks to earlier episodes. "Camping Trip" was the final installment of Sanford and Son's fifth season.

Note: Carol Arthur appears as Girl Scout master Mrs. Barnes.
