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, this is exactly what happened after Miss Marsden arrived there in July 1998: she collapsed and died at the home's bar while drinking gin and smoking a cigarette.

Goofs
Miss Haggard's blue towel "turban" disappears and reappears between shots when Babs' bra comes off.

Quotes
Mrs. Fussey: Joan may think you're a gentleman but personally I've got sore misgivings.
Sid Boggle: You ought to put some talcum powder on them.

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 girls' tent. Later releases feature the same edited print.

Very funny, one of my personal favourites of the series

I don't consider the Carry On movies the best movies I have seen or anything, but I do find them very entertaining. Carry on Camping is for me one of the better movies of the series, it is very funny and lively. It is perhaps too short, and the big slapstick finale was a wee bit of a disappointment compared to other scenes of the film such as the wonderful double entendre incidents. That said, it looks great, one of the better-looking Carry Ons I think, the music is quirky, the direction is lively and the film moves quickly. Not to mention a nice story, some hilarious dialogue and some of the funnier comedy set pieces from any Carry On movie. And the cast are on top form- Sidney James has a ball as an unlikely hippy, Kenneth Williams is delightful as pretty much always, Barbara Windsor brightens up the screen with her presence, Charles Hawtrey is hilarious and Peter Butterworth has possibly his finest hour as the miserly site owner. Overall, very entertaining, high art it isn't, but fun it is. 8/10 Bethany Cox
