DanTheMan 2 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.

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.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review David R 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review andy f 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.
