Something between Over the Garden Wall and Adventure time. Cute stuff, magic, animals, monsters and witches. There is everything and it is awesome. I loved this show since my first watched episode. I need more series right now!

I usually describe the arc of Adventure time as being a show that was just kind of taking random stabs in the dark with its episodic storytelling and then eventually accumulated enough worldbuilding to start telling cohesive stories about all the incredible characters it had accumulated. With productions in the wake of Adventure Time like Steven Universe, you start to see a more cohesive and considered approach to worldbuilding, working up to larger things that are seeded RIGHT from the get-go, in ways that really reward the fandom and close consideration and rewatches and all that. Summer Camp Island takes a bit to get its engine going, but is in that same Steven Universe model. It knows what it's doing, it's doing it really well, and I'm enjoying the journey.

Season 5's anthology approach has been really nice. I don't know if it's necessarily a good starting point, but if you're curious about some of the stuff this show is doing but don't want to commit to the whole thing, I think you could treat season 5 as a kind of Over the Garden Wall-style miniseries.

First 4 episodes of Season 3 just got released
