By 1969, the Carry On series was relying more and more on blue humor, as this entry demonstrates. Here Sid James convinces his girlfriend (Joan Sims) to join him on a camping trip, while omitting to mention that their destination is a nude campground. To James' dismay, however, the campground has put in a clothing mandatory policy, so he sets about to naughty things up, especially with a busload of private schoolgirls that includes series regular Babs Windsor (who looks about ten years past private school age, but who cares?). The resulting hi jinx, silliness, misunderstandings and broad farce are familiar to any watcher of the series but fairly entertaining anyway. I personally found the DVD transfer to be a bit grainy, but watchable, and watching this movie was like re- visiting an old friend, familiar and comfortable.
