- TriviaBetty 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.
- GoofsMiss 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 versionsAs 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.

Featured review
How do you even review this iconic film?
Carry on Camping is a national institution, from a Golden age of British comedy, one of those films I think every person has seen at least once.
A truly wonderful cast, they are all on top notch form, Kenneth Williams is utterly brilliant as the snooty headmaster, he combined so well with Hattie Jacques, who in turn delivered her lines with utter gusto, almost tragically. Every other cast member came up trumps, I absolutely loved Betty Marsden, sensationally funny as Harriet Potter, the domineering wife of Terry Scott's Peter Potter. Harriet's laugh has me in stitches every time.
Carry on Camping is a legendary film, Charles Hawtrey gets some of the funniest ever lines, the sequence with the Farm girl 'Couldn't your father do that?' 'no it has to be the bull,' his face is immensely funny.
As British as it comes, a film to enjoy again and again. 9/10
