    • Trivia
      Betty Marsden said during filming to Dilys Laye that she always wanted to die with a glass of gin in her hand. In Denville Hall, a home for old actors, twenty four hours after arriving in July 1998, this is exactly what happened. Miss Marsden collapsed and died at the home's bar, whilst drinking gin.
    • Goofs
      When Sid and Bernie go to the Department Store, the lady in the white trousers has already gone past them, but when they get out of their car, she walks past them again.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Muggins: Hello. What's a nice girl like you doing with an old cow?

      Girl with cow: I'm taking her to the bull.

      Charlie Muggins: Well couldn't your father do that?

      Girl with cow: No it must the the bull.

    • Alternate versions
      As with many Carry On films the BBFC required cuts for an 'A' (PG) certificate. Although the double entendres during the tent scene were eventually allowed the word 'erection' was removed, as was an entire scene where Peter leaves the girl's tent. Later releases feature the same edited print.

    Oh yeah, I go all the way!
    Sid Boggle (Sid James) and his friend Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) hatch a plan to take their girlfriends, Joan Fussey (Joan Sims) and Anthea Meeks (Dilys Laye), to a nudist campsite called Paradise. However, when they get there it's not the paradise they envisaged, full of odd balls and bad British weather, things only perk up when a coach load of girls turn up. Trouble is, the guys must get shot of their girlfriends first.

    Oddly, Carry On Camping is a film that is revered by the series fans yet frowned upon by critics. Plot wise I'm inclined to agree with the critics, it's as basic as can be and is nothing other than a series of vignettes weaved together to create a lurid camping based holiday film. Tis true, but hell the comedy is good here, smutty and awash with innuendo and making the most of the double meaning of the word camping. It's also one of the series best roll calls as regards its cast, most of the big hitters are here, it's easier to just say Jim Dale and Kenneth Connor are the two notable absentees.

    From the sight of Barbara Windsor's bra shooting thru the air, to the hapless Terry Scott having buck shot removed from his posterior, Camping has no other intentions other than to titter the discerning Carry On fan. What often gets forgotten tho, is just what great comedy actors some of these series regulars were, witness here a sequence in a tent as Terry Scott, Charles Hawtrey and Betty Marsden attempt to get ready for bed, comedy gold. So one for fans only it seems, hooray for me then because I love Carry On Camping, always have, always will. 8/10
