To me, this movie is perfection.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A different way of telling a story

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Good fun.Having seen a advert for a nudist camp, two men decide to go camping there. They then taking their unwitting girlfriends along, but end up going to the wrong camp. Meanwhile a busload of girls from nearby school are heading to the camp too, plus a varied assortment of characters...One of the better Carry On films. The humour can be quite naughty at times, but is more often clever than dirty. Generally not as low-brow as the Carry One films sometimes could be. Some good skits and one-liners.Plus, the movie has a great fun-driven momentum. Never a dull moment.

I have always been a big fan of the Carry On films and I own all of them on DVD. Carry On Camping, however, is not one of my favourites and I watch it rarely now. Basically, your enjoyment of this film will depend on how much you like Barbara Windsor. Personally speaking, I detest her, she is only famous because of her boobs and I much prefer the Carry On films that she is not in. The ending of this film is also very dated, featuring a hippy band and makes me cringe now when I see it. The film is also primarily famous for the scene when Windsor's bra flies off during an exercise session and hits poor old Kenneth Williams in the face. I suspect this is why this film has a strong following, particularly among men. However, I do not regard it is one of the best Carry On films, though I appreciate that it is treasured by some fans. The film was also cut in several scenes by the British censor back in 1969 and these cuts have never been reinstated in any version that I have ever seen. This does not ruin the film, though and it is worth seeing, though I doubt that you will want to see it too often. This is not the worst film in the Carry On series, but it is a long way from the best too. It is a watchable but very dated film now and just not as funny as it once was.

Fantastic Carry-on-Noir (an overlooked sub-genre that includes Carry on Screaming and Carry On at your Convenience). The strong main plot romps along nicely driven by excellent performances by Lotharios Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw. However the real interest lies in the characters of Charlie Muggins (Hawtrey's finest performance?), Joan Fussey (Joan Sims) and Peter Potter (bravo Terry Scott). Exploring issues from the unbearable constraints of monogamous relationships in post 60's Britain to the working class rejection of pastoral values the trio act their hearts out in a triumvirate unparalleled in modern cinema let alone Carry On movies(although Mutiny On the Buses' Reg/Olive/Jack comes close).Epic performances like these sometimes overshadow the strong ensemble cast. Kudos to Peter Butterworth's deft Josh Fiddler, Hattie Jacques understated Miss Haggard and Babs Windsor's excellent pair of perky norbs.First class satire.

This is the one, out of all 31 carry on films, this is the very best, you have got the whole team, Sid, Kenneth, Joan, Hattie, Charles, Bernard and Peter all causing mischief in this fantastic Carry On Camping. Gerald Thomas and Peter Rogers have done it, they have created one of the best comedy films of the sixties (my opinion).What a good idea of them to come up with a carry on that involves the whole gang out in a field, in tents etc. Bernard Bresslaw is hilarious when he rips through the tent roof. Kenneth Williams's fantastic performance as usual and Terry Scott a hero, continued to work although ill.One of my very favourite Carry Ons and i know many others will like it too!
