Carry on camping - By: robertwhitley, 05 Oct 2007 
this film isn't exactly what i would call a real classic. sure, it has all the usual actors but it doen't any humourous moments, like some of the other filmsin the series. The ending is just plain embarissing. it made me cringe.
watch this if you a fan.
My son adores this film, i haven't discovered why yet but i've been watching him very closely & i think that some of the scenes are a little to saturating for him to handle.
Technically ropey, but who cares, we love it - By: Lou Knee, 19 Aug 2007 
Okay so it's not an Ealing comedy, but for what it was, anotherin the series of formula 'camp' comedies by a well oiled machine that was the Carry On team, it is very good, one of the best. And I would hazard a guess & say it was most people's favourite. It certainly is my favourite, not least because nearly all the regulars are here: This must be the definitive Carry On cast. It's as though they've gathered together for one final fling as they sense the whole franchise may be on its last legs. And what better way to gather than to go on holiday, the British way, campingin the cold & wet. It's a very fair send up of British conservatism & unadventurousness, really, & actually ends up celebrating it, with the campers' successful expulsion of the more exotic young flower children gatheredin the field for a rave. Has tremendous nostalgia value, this film, even if you were only a nipper when it came out, as I was. It sort of makes you pine for all that old stuff most people thought was naff even then. Oh, for a life of such simple pleasures, though. Yes, you can almost smell the Double Diamond waiting for youin the camp's own bar. A wonderful film to visit & revisit. This also has to be Terry Scott's finest hour.
a real classic - By: sean paul mccann, 22 Mar 2007 carry on camping,1968,and the 17th carry on,is one of the most recognisable ones,up there with carry on doctor & abroad perhaps,carry on camping is a film that has never appeared old & the jokes are still more than capable of creating a smile across your face.
The film has the infamous scene where babs windsor,playing a schoolgirl despite being a lot older,where her bra flies off during exercise class,everyone knows that scene.
The story centres around sid james & bernie bresslaw,who decide they want to take their prissy girlfriends to a nudist camp,sid james is great here as a sleazy enough man who soon lusts after babs as he didin real life,the camp that they attendin the end isnt a nudist camp at all & other guests include terry scott & his wife who livesin a different world,freeloader charles hawtrey who just takes advantage of peoples generosity,kenny williams who along with his school of female pupils & a love struck hattie jacques who decides she loves kenny,much to his horror,the film is packed with naughty harmless jokes & this is the carry on team at their much loved best,check it out if you havent already.
One of the cheekiest and funniest - By: Bruno, 11 Mar 2006 Carry on camping straddles that happy period between the inventive but rather dull early carry ons & the overly crude & suggestive later films. Here we have just the right balance & we can happily chuckle at 50 something lad Sid James trying to get the 'green light' from 30 something school girl campers Barbara & co.
Still mildly amusing - By: L. Davidson, 20 Sep 2005 
The "Carry On" films are now almost quaint & nostalgic with their familiar combination of double-entendres, slapstick ,pretty girls & old bags. "Carry on Camping" is typical of the series & features most of the regulars getting up to mischief & naughtiness on a camp site. Sid James is the catalyst for most of the humour, but Terry Scott steals the show as a sex-starved whisky-guzzler reluctantly camping with his slightly deranged wife when he'd much rather be by the Med. Although it was a bit risquein its day, the absence of bad language, sex & violence makes "Carry on Camping" seem tame by todays standards.
