Campamento Desventura is a Mexican web series produced by Odd Nation Cartoons heavily inspired by Total Drama. It was previously known as Drama Total Aventura, (ENG: Total Drama Adventure,) and Campamento Aventura, (ENG: Adventure Camp.) In English, the show is called Disventure Camp. English and Polish versions of the show are available by Odd Nation, subbed and dubbed. Most English fans call Campamento Desventura by its English name.

Disventure Camp is similar in scope to the existing Competition Fic variant of Total Drama fanfiction, which attempt to make a season of Total Drama featuring a cast of original contestants and hosts, though this is the only series of note to try this in animated form. Disventure Camp is popular with Total Drama fans and has inspired a notable amount of fanac everywhere fandom lives.

In 2024, Disventure Camp: All-Stars premiered.

Characters

Each Camp, (Adventure and Disventure,) has a different cast. Unlike Total Drama, contestants are of various ages. Tom is 27 while Karol is 41, for example. Each character gets their own title.

1. Adventure (later remade as Disventure (2023): Ashley, Will, Dan, Eli, Fiore, Gabby, Grett, Jake, Tom, Lill, Miriam and Nick. Jared and Jensen are its hosts.
2. Disventure (2022): Aiden, Yul, Ally, Connor, Hunter, James, Kai, Karol, Lake, Maggy, Oliver, Riya, Rosa Maria and Tess. Kristal McLean, (daughter of Chris McLean,) and Marcus are its hosts.
3. Disventure (2023): Features four new characters not in Adventure (2021), Alec, Drew, Derek, and Trevor. Jared also is not in this. Eli got her name changed to Ellie.
4. All-Stars: Kristal McLean, Emily, Marcus, Oliver, Derek, Trevor, Aiden, Alec, Ally, Ashley, Connor, Ellie, Fiore, Gabby, Grett, Hunter, Jake, James, Lake, Miriam, Riya, Tess, Tom and Yui.

Shipping

Shipping the contestants and the hosts are common for fanworks.

• The most popular ship for Adventure/Disventure (2023) appears to be the canon couple Ellie/Gabby. Ashley/Will, which was teased, as well as the canon couple Jake/Tom are also shipped.
• The most popular ship for Disventure (2021) by far is the canon couple Aiden/James. The semi-canon Ally/Tess and fanon Aiden/Kai are also shipped. Notably, Ally/Hunter/Tess isn't too far from Ally/Tess in terms of amount of fanworks hosted on AO3. This isn't surprising given how they are in a canonical Love Triangle.

Reception

The series has generally been well-received. One common complaint is that the seasons' English dub's VAs sound uncoordinated or otherwise lacking emotion, likely due to poor voice direction. Another is that Jake and Tom's relationship was not written well. The following comment was posted on an official episode and received 834 likes & 101 replies.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I know everyone loves Tom and Jake but I honestly think Ellie and Gabby’s development as a friendship/couple has been executed far better than Tom and Jake’s. Ellie and Gabby, despite being on opposing teams for the most part, were able to form a quick bond even from the 1st episode without it feeling inorganic or over the top and their development has been gradual and believable. Ellie being the only one who has been consistently kind and encouraging to Gabby as well as not voting her off the team in episode 1. Gabby offering the totum to Ellie as a means of protection and Ellie not only mentioning Gabby’s wild nature instead of avoiding talking about it but being able to use it as a compliment and good attribute back in episode 5 “I like you Gabby, you aren’t afraid to speak your mind.” Gabby and Ellie have always been able to trust each other and Ellie has never felt threatened by Gabby’s wild nature. Tom and Jake’s relationship on the other hand has felt rather forced at times as it’s mainly been just Tom comforting Jake because of the loss of his Grandma or them talking about something mundane and then either one of them laughing or blushing. Tom doesn’t seem to take any romantic interest in Jake until episode 4 where they’re on the boat and it feels really sudden because unlike Gabby and Ellie, we haven’t really seen them connect with each other’s personalities....
