Lady Moraine! Thank you so much for posting this workaround. I have had my sim stuck on the mountain campgrounds since my first attempt to play the travel destinations. He was not sent back, he just has never been able to leave. So, I will try this and see whether it works.

Thank you!

EDIT TO ADD:  This did *not* work for me.  When I proposed move in, I got the message that my sim was not saved on his household and I should return him home first. At his home lot, I get the message that he is on vacation -- so I cannot save it, move household out or bulldoze the home lot. On the vacation lot (Axes Campground in Mountains), I can't bulldoze the lot because my sim is there. He can check out, then dial to End Vacation -- but then he immediately hangs up. I do not have the buy/build options enabled, so I cannot delete him.

EDIT #2 - SOLVED! I used a drastic method, but I got my sim home at last!
First, I * Backed Up* my game (of course!). Then I used the Clean Installer to find out which lot was the Axes Wood Campground. I then moved that lot package out of the N001 Lots folder and onto my desktop. I relaunched the game and selected my sim's home lot. Within seconds, the shuttled appeared, he got out and went in to fix himself a meal!! I saved the lot.

I lost the campground, but who cares? Chester's home! I am beside myself with joy!
