everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Sabah Hensley
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Phillipa
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Carry on Camping is a national institution, from a Golden age of British comedy, one of those films I think every person has seen at least once.A truly wonderful cast, they are all on top notch form, Kenneth Williams is utterly brilliant as the snooty headmaster, he combined so well with Hattie Jacques, who in turn delivered her lines with utter gusto, almost tragically. Every other cast member came up trumps, I absolutely loved Betty Marsden, sensationally funny as Harriet Potter, the domineering wife of Terry Scott's Peter Potter. Harriet's laugh has me in stitches every time.Carry on Camping is a legendary film, Charles Hawtrey gets some of the funniest ever lines, the sequence with the Farm girl 'Couldn't your father do that?' 'no it has to be the bull,' his face is immensely funny.As British as it comes, a film to enjoy again and again. 9/10

Desperate to be intimate with their prudish girlfriends Joan Fussey (Joan Sims) and Anthea Meeks (Dilys Laye), sex-mad pals Sid Boggle (Sid James) and Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) take the girls to the Paradise Campsite, believing it to be a nudist colony. When they get there, they are dismayed to discover that the clientèle are fully clothed, but decide to stay when a coach-load of well-developed teenage girls (played by women in their twenties or older) pitch their tents nearby.The world of camping proves to be a goldmine for the writers of Carry On Camping who fill this hugely enjoyable and wonderfully un-PC romp with all manner of hilarious, smutty double entendres (although 'opening the flaps to slip inside' and 'maintaining a successful erection' are notable by their absence). In addition to the non-stop suggestive dialogue, this one also delivers plenty of silly visual humour, gratuitous nudity aplenty, and truly memorable performances from the Carry On greats—James, Jacques, Williams, Scott, Sims, Butterworth, Bresslaw, Windsor and Hawtry—with Terry Scott and Peter 'Pound' Butterworth providing the film's funniest moments and Babs Windsor baring her boobs in the classic 'PT in a bikini' scene.

This film is famous for one scene; possibly the most famous scene in all the Carry On films... the scene where Barbara Windsor's bikini top flies off as she does her exercises; in some ways that is a pity as there are plenty of much funnier scenes in the film. This instalment in the series includes many of the regulars as they go camping at the Paradise Campsite. Not surprisingly it does not live up to its name; Sid and Bernie are particularly disappointed as they thought it was a nudist establishment where they'd hoped to take their rather innocent girlfriends 'by accident'. Other attendees are hen-pecked Peter Potter (Terry Scott) who would rather be in a hotel abroad, solo camper Charlie who accidentally camps on a bombing range and a bus load of less than innocent school girls. Inevitably they all get up to their usual antics; Sid and Bernie take an interest in the girls; Peter gets a backside full of shot after a misunderstanding with an irate farmer and school headmaster Kenneth Soper has to fight off the attentions of the amorous school matron.By the time the Carry On team went camping the more gentle comedy of the early outings had been replaced by innuendo, lots of innuendo; that wasn't really a problem though as it was well handled and pretty funny for the most part. When I saw that Terry Scott was in it I was prepared for disappointment but surprisingly he turned out to be one of the most entertaining characters; the moment when he finally stood up to his wife and threw the unwanted 'guest', Charles Hawtrey, out of his tent was a joy to behold. The regular cast played the characters one would expect; Sid James was an old letch, Bernard Bresslaw was a bit dim and Barbara Windsor was a naughty girl, who giggled a lot... despite being far too old to be a believable schoolgirl; who cares though it is a Carry On! If you are a fan of the Carry On series you are sure to love this one and despite the innuendo it isn't too naughty... after all it currently has a PG certificate.

This is what I call a perfect film! I am 16 and was persuaded by my mum to watch this film and other Carry On films and I loved!It is myfavourite Carry On film! Its actors occur again and again in the films and they are what makes this film fantastic. Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Sid James, Barbera Windsor and Joan Sims are great actors. Also even though they occur all the time in carry ons, they never bore me...Fantastic!!!!! I would totally recommend Carry On Camping to any age group as it is an absolute classic and a must see. Plus don't be put off with the fact that it is old and simple, this is what makes it so good! AnIconic Carry On...10/10!!!
