Sid Boggle and his reluctant mate Bernie Lugg hit on the idea of a nudist camping holiday to spice things up with their girlfriends! But there's just one small problem... how can they persuade the girls to spend their holiday naked? But the fun really starts when Dr. Soaper, headmaster of the Chasyte Place Finishing School, and his matron, Miss Haggard arrive with a gaggle of nubile girls. Star pupil Babs catches Sid's eye and sets the scene for one of the most delightful frolics in the
Carry On repertoire...

Carry On Camping is probably the most well known movie in the series. It's cheap, it's cheerful and the jokes are terrible. But, you can't help but laugh from beginning to end. The best characters are Terry Scott's hen-pecked husband, his wife with the annoying laugh, and Charles Hawtrey's lone camper.

The execution of this movie is adequate, although nothing too write home about (Oh! I wish I could have reviewed Carry On Henry, that last sentence would have been great to add to the review) although not groundbreaking. And Kenneth Williams shows a rare sign of heterosexuality as his character is seen eyeing up the girls as they get on a bus.

Extras include yet another terrible episode of the Carry On Laughing TV series (Orgy and Bess); audio commentary by Dilys Laye and Sandra Caron; and a photo gallery with captions.

While nowhere near up to the standard of Carry On Cleo or Carry On up the Khyber, this is still pretty good fun. And of course there is the most famous scene of all included in this movie - the scene where Barbara Windsor's bra shoots off during an early morning exercise warm-up.
