Produced by C-Station and distributed by Shochiku, the film is directed by Yoshiaki Kyogoku from an original story written by Jin Tanaka and Mutsumi Ito.
In the film, a grown-up Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Rin Shima, Chiaki Ōgaki, Aoi Inuyama, and Ena Saitō reunite to build a campsite.
The film was announced in October 2018, with Kyogoku, Tanaka, Ito, and character designer Mutsumi Sasaki confirming their return from two seasons of Laid-Back Camp in April 2021.
Yumiri Hanamori, Nao Tōyama, Sayuri Hara, Aki Toyosaki, and Rie Takahashi were confirmed in October 2021 to be reprising their voice roles from the anime television series, with their characters going to be matured in the film.
Years later, Rin, a magazine editor in Nagoya, is visited by Chiaki, who has begun working at Yamanashi Prefecture's tourism promotion organization recently.
While in an izakaya, Chiaki mentions working on a redevelopment plan for an abandoned facility in the prefecture when Rin suddenly suggests building a campsite on its vast space.
Following a crab hot pot at Nadeshiko's house and Aoi's arrival, Chiaki reveals her plan to build a campsite and assigns everyone's role, including Ena who is not present due to her work.
After their trial camping, Chiaki informs the group that an investigation is set to take place on the campsite due to the shrapnel being connected to buried earthenware found in the prefecture.
