When she wakes up, it's night, in a place she's never been before, with no way of knowing how to get home. Nadeshiko is saved when she encounters Rin, a girl who is out camping by herself. This outdoorsy girls story begins with this first encounter between Nadeshiko and Rin.

Both series have similar atmosphere. While the activities are quite different both take place in nature.
Both about going outdoors and being comfy; Yurucamp is the more chill between the two since camping doesn't require that much stamina, Yama no Susume however goes into detail about personal struggles, especially in the second season. Both have gorgeous environmental details and detailed explanations about the know-hows of the specific hobby (camping and hiking respectively). In both series, the relationship between the two main characters - Rin and Nadeshiko, Aoi and Hinata respectively - are the main driving force.
Yamasusu, unlike Yurucamp, is a short series (the first season is 12 3-minute episodes, the second is 24 10-minute episodes), so you'll breeze through it relatively quickly if you want to catch up.
Cute girls doing cute things but this time they're doing outdoor activities. That's pretty much it really. They're both cute though.
Adorable schoolgirl shows that deal with an outdoorsy hobby. You like one, you'll like the other.
Both of these shows focus on cute girls doing outside activities. Both take place while the main characters are in highschool (if I remember correctly).
There are one or two experienced girls and some newbies that are learning along the way. They actually teach you about some useful items and how to correctly use them
Both anime feature cute girls doing cute things (camping or hiking). The main cast from both anime are in high school, and they all go out to have fun in nature. Nothing too dramatic happens, and both anime are great iyashikei to watch. Also, the viewers get educational facts/advice either about camping (Laid-Back Camp) or about hiking (Encouragement of Climb). If you like one, I believe that you'll like the other.
Both anime are about girls having outdoors activities in a leisure way. The girls are students from schools.
For encouragement of climb, the girls are fond of climbing mountains and hills while for laid-back camp, the girls are fond of camping.
A photograph is a mysterious force that creates magical moments the instant the shutter closes and allows people’s hearts to connect. For the new girl in town, Fuu Sawatari, this is more than a saying but a way of life as she spends her days quietly attempting to capture those special instances on film and use them to bring others joy. Along with her friends – and her beloved camera – Fuu reminisces about her father, begins to contemplate where her future lies and wonders whether she can capture more of the mysterious Tamayura light bubbles in her photos filled with warmth and friendship.

Although they center around two different hobbies, Yama no Susume and Tamayura are quite similar. They're both slice of life shows dealing with a young girl moving forward with the help of her friends. Yama no Susume is shorter and not as mellow as Tamayura, but they definitely share the same atmosphere. If you're looking for something that's short and sweet, give these titles a try.
Encouragement of Climb reminds me a lot of Junichi Sato's style of slice-of-life (I think he calls them "healing" anime), such as Tamayura. Though they're about cute teenage girls, both prioritize relaxation over silly jokes.
Yama no Susume and Tamayura are very similar in how they feel. They're both relaxing series where a group of girls who get together and become friends while exploring their hobbies, Mountain Climbing and Photography respectively.
Minami is an air-headed girl who is starting high school and who loves eating bread for breakfast. Baked goods bring happiness everyday to her and her classmates —the reliable Yuu, the pastry-baking Fuyumi, and the independent Noa.

Both of these anime are about young, sweet girls brought together by their shared passions. Neither have much action, and tend to focus on the interactions between the girls and teaching viewers about the subjects (mountain climbing and bread). While it may seem silly to compare a love for mountain climbing to a love of bread, these shows are actually pretty similar! If you enjoyed one, you'd probably enjoy the other.
Both anime are about a group of girls who bond over a shared passion (mountain climbing is Encouragement of Climb and bread in Pan de Peace!). Both series are also cute and have short episodes. Fans of one series will probably enjoy the other.
These two shorts are about girls with a specific interest. In Pan de Peace, it's bread; for Encouragement of Climb, it's climbing. The focus is really on the friendships, and both have a gentle, slightly silly atmosphere.

Another super relaxing and adorable series about cute girls doing cute things, that's centered around one particular hobby (either art or mountaineering). Both use a lot of pastel colors and are less energetic than most slice-of-life series of this type.
The year is 1925 and Japan is still a country with socially backwards views, particularly on women's rights. One young girl named Akiko Ogasawara decides to fight for equality in her own way - by forming a girls' baseball team! She soon enlists her good friend Koume Suzukawa, and it's now up to the two of them to put together a team of like-minded and spirited young ladies. Under the able and enthusiastic tutelage of English teacher Miss Garland, the girls will need to bond closely, learn well and practice hard if they are to stand their ground against boys' teams and show a misogynistic society exactly what they're made of... while having some fun in the process.

If you want a touch of sports in your cute high school girls series, you might want to check out one of these. Taisho Baseball Girls has more emphasis on the sport, whereas Encouragement of Climb just goes over the basics and prefers to show the girls hanging out and giggling, but they may appeal to the same audience.
Natsumi, Saki, Yuka, and Ringo are best friends. They've grown up in an old agricultural town, experiencing everything together, both happy and sad. But one summer, they are visited by a miracle.

Another relaxing and adorable slice-of-life series. Both are about friends who had briefly fallen out of contact/friendship coming back together and having fun. Also, both deal with childhood dreams that the girls are trying to fulfill.

Shy female lead and her energetic friend doing some sort of hobby that's uncommon in an anime. The friend is more experienced in the hobby than the beginner lead. Both are very cute shows that act sort of as a how-to guide for getting into either hiking or yosakoi. They take the characters and the viewer through all the steps of starting their new hobby, from the first shopping trip to actually hiking/dancing. Both shows also show a progression of the girls' friendship. If you likee Yama no Susume but find the 5 minute episodes aren't enough, definitely try Hanayamata. If you like Hanayamata and want more like it, Yama no Susume is a great starting point.
Yuzuka Hanami is an average girl, with a few friends until one day she finds a strange creature named Miton digging through the garbage. Miton suspiciously tells Yuzuka that she has the makings of a magical girl. However, much to her dismay, when she transforms, Yuzuka is wearing a bathing suit.
If you like the sweet slice of life side of Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara, I think you'll also enjoy Encouragement of Climb. Both are short form anime about four girls (of varying ages) who hng out due to similar interests. The episodes are pretty chill and are about enjoying young girls having fun with their friends.
