Trivia:
The middle initial in Ernest P. Worrell fittingly stands for "Powertools". moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the ladder falls over backwards with Ernest in the beginning, you can see he jumps off screen before it hits the ground. You also see that he wasn't very high off the ground. Maybe 3-4 feet. moreSoundtrack:

This was the first "Ernest" film, and I've been reading a lot of people's comments, how they're bashing this movie, and saying it wasn't good. I disagree. "Ernest Goes To Camp" is a great "Ernest" film. The plot is very solid, and Jim Varney's first theatrical movie as the dim witted Ernest P. Worrell was a LAUGH RIOT!!!! Varney did a great job in this film, and this was the movie that got me hooked into "Ernest" films in the first place.
Jim Varney Rules (I miss you!!)!
