Shima Rin left her hometown in Yamanashi to live alone in Nagoya while working for a small publishing house there. On a winter weekend in the not too distant future, while she is planning a bike tour, she unexpectedly receives a text from an old high school friend, Ohgaki Chiaki, telling her that she is currently in Nagoya. Chiaki now works for an organization that promotes tourism in Yamanashi, and is in charge of a project to reopen a facility that closed a few years ago. When Rin casually suggests that such a large property would make a good campground, Chiaki is inspired. She rounds up all their old camping buddies: Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who works at an outdoor supply store in Tokyo; Inuyama Aoi, who is now an elementary school teacher in their hometown of Yamanashi; and Saitou Ena, who works at a dog grooming salon in Yokohama, and the campground opening project gets underway. So the story of five outdoorsy girls who became friends through a shared love of camping begins again, taking on a new challenge with the knowledge and experience they have gained.
