Long before the term "glamping" (glamour camping) was coined, Barbie and PJ went on a camping trip with way too many clothes, some of them very dressy.
One of the 1974 Whitman Barbie paper doll sets was #1951 Goin' Camping." (Mattel has dropped the "g" dozens of times with Barbie accessories.)
In the clothes photograph, note the dressy yellow kimono pajamas and the long flowered sarong with a lei.
The dolls themselves show a combination of years. Barbie has her blonde flip from her 1969 Twist N Turn swimsuit, and she wears her 1970 standard Barbie green and pink swimsuit. PJ wears a Whitman swimsuit, but at least this time she has her blonde ponytails held by beads.
