Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
There are three periods to Carry On. Early on, they were typical British light comedy capers, hardly risqué. By the 1970s, the loveable double-entendres had been replaced by an almost nasty sleaziness, culminating in 1977's Carry On Emanuelle. 1969's Carry On Camping, thankfully, belongs to the Golden Years. Pretty much everybody is present and correct, if not politically. Sid James is a likely-ish, if slightly elderly lad, persuading Joan Sims to join him at what he secretly expects to be a nudist colony. Terry Scott is a put-upon suburbian, coerced into outdoor vacations by his ghastly, horsey-laughed wife, while Charles Hawtrey is the campest of campers who befriends them. Kenneth Williams, who alone makes this worth watching, is gloriously ridiculous as head of a girl's school, Chayste Place, with Hattie Jacques as Matron and Barbara Windsor as one of the 30 year old fifth formers in their charge. Technically it's terrible stuff, with Barbara Windsor's flying bra, laboured puns galore, peeping tomfoolery, punchlines visible two miles off, 'comedy' incidental music and a reactionary denouement in which they chase off a bunch of hippies. Yet if you don't chuckle at least half a dozen times during this, however many times you've seen it, there's probably something wrong with you. --David Stubbs

- Carry on campingthis 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 films in 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 and i think that some of the scenes are a little to saturating for him to handle.

- Technically ropey, but who cares, we love itOkay so it's not an Ealing comedy, but for what it was, another in 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 and 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. ... Read More

- a real classic carry on camping,1968,and the 17th carry on,is one of the most recognisable ones,up there with carry on doctor and abroad perhaps,carry on camping is a film that has never appeared old and 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 and bernie bresslaw,who ... Read More

- One of the cheekiest and funniestCarry on camping straddles that happy period between the inventive but rather dull early carry ons and the overly crude and suggestive later films. Here we have just the right balance and we can happily chuckle at 50 something lad Sid James trying to get the 'green light' from 30 something school girl campers Barbara and co.
Rating:
- Still mildly amusingThe "Carry On" films are now almost quaint and nostalgic with their familiar combination of double-entendres, slapstick ,pretty girls and old bags. "Carry on Camping" is typical of the series and features most of the regulars getting up to mischief and 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 risque ... Read More
