Variety Staff Variety 03/26/2009
While sticking to its well tried, profitable formula, latest Carry on suffers somewhat in comparison to some of its predecessors in that it lacks a storyline, however slim. Go to Full Review
Roger Greenspun New York Times 05/09/2005
Carry On Camping is a movie that proceeds partly by pratfall but mostly by a merciless succession of double entendres, which somehow excite the prurient interest of everybody except, perhaps, the audience. Go to Full Review

Thin is certainly the word for this latest effort which scrapes the bottom of the barrel for gags. Go to Full Review

John K @UndeadKingUK Sep 16 One of the best Carry On films ever made! The story keeps the comedic tone of the Carry On films, every Carry On regular who is in it is amazing in their roles, the innuendos are hilarious and the characters are enjoyable to watch onscreen. See more DanTheMan 2 Mar 31 Possibly the most iconic, or is it infamous? entry in the series, Carry On Camping marks the preverbal peak of the franchise's trademark randiness, despite being as basic as can be and merely offering a series of vignettes weaved together to create a lurid camping-based holiday film; its comedy is smutty and awash with innuendo, making the most of the double meaning of the word camping. It rather surprisingly also serves as a comment by the filmmakers on young people, the new 'permissive society' and youth culture in general. The dramatic contrast between the enclosed, static and make-believe logic of these films and the radical changes going on in the real world climaxes with the arrival of the young hippies at the end. Only then do the desultory plot strands and disparate characters come together to repel the ravers in the rather rushed finale. Just like most British camping holidays, you're always at the mercy of the weather as the poor cast found out while filming during the start of the winter as opposed to the summer of love the film proudly champions although you'd never tell given how well the team disguised it. The gags come a mile a minute, featuring a host of iconic moments that are still mentioned to this day. Carry On Camping has no other intention than to amuse the discerning Carry On fan with a wry and easy familiarity. See more chris j 07/01/2024 Carry On Camping.. what can you say. The jokes still stand up today. We all know of people like the characters. Its a carry on movie, from the 70's, so you know what to expect. This movie is a must watch for great laughs and guffaws. See more Christina B 03/08/2024 I've heard that it's the best Carry On film, which makes me wonder how puerile and bad the others must be.... See more David R 08/04/2023 Ok, it is what it is.....a Carry On picture. And what does that mean? Innuendo, innuendo, innuendo. And goofy (oftentimes slapstick) gags. OK, and a few boobs thrown in for good measure. But, harmless, silly fun. Good for some groaner laughs. See more andy f 11/23/2020 It's hard to review a film that's been part of your life since childhood, even though I hadn't seen it for 20 years or so. Undoubtedly the best 'carry on' with all the stars at the top of their game. Gloriously un politically correct and a breath of fresh air in a sterile world. See more Read all reviews
