The documentary “Happy Campers” is now out on Video on Demand, and this is a feature that all of us at CinemAddicts recommend. Directed by Amy Nicholson, the narrative centers on the residents of a waterfront campground off the coast of Virginia. This area, known as Inlet View, is a utopia that will inevitably be taken over by million dollar homes and urban sprawl. Nicholson, however, took a refreshingly different approach to her documentary, and she talked about that process during the interview.

Running at 78 minutes, “Happy Campers” is not a comprehensive documentary of the Inlet View denizens. Filmmaker Amy Nicholson places us right into their lives as they reflect on their home and loved ones. Nicholson and her husband spent three summers in this trailer park community, and although it is not an exhaustive account of the area, it gives us an immersive and reflective look at these “happy campers.”
