Line 33:

The film has an infamous outdoor aerobics scene in which Babs' bikini top flies off and is caught by Dr Soaper. (The effect was achieved with a fishing rod and line attached to the garment.)

In charge of the schoolgirls is Dr Soaper ([[Kenneth Williams]]), who is fervently pursued by his lovelorn colleague, the school's matron, Miss HaggerdHaggard ([[Hattie Jacques]]).

Other campers are Peter Potter ([[Terry Scott]]), who hates camping but must endure a jolly and domineering wife Harriet ([[Betty Marsden]]), who probably has the world's most annoying laugh, and Charlie Muggins ([[Charles Hawtrey (film actor)|Charles Hawtrey]]), a naive first-time camper and unwelcome lodger whom Harriet invites into their tent when he gets caught in the rain.

Much of the low-brow comedic tension derives from the anticipation of seeing actual (female) nudity, a much rarer sight in those days.

Line 92 ⟶ 44:

*In Hispanic areas, it was titled (in Spanish) ''I Want a Nudist Girlfriend''.

*Because the film was shot in October and November, in several scenes you can see mud painted green to look like grass. On one day, snow had to be covered!

*It was shot on ___location at Pinewood studios and in [[Burnham Beeches]] near bynearby. The house owned by the Potters from which they left on their tandem is actually in the housing estate directly across from the main studio gates.

*In the film, Matron refers to having worked as a hospital Matron, where she fell in love with a doctor there; this is a reference to Carry on Doctor, when Matron fell in love with the doctor played by the actor who plays Doctor Soaper in Carry on Camping.

Line 110 ⟶ 62:

*PETER: Oh not bad, got drunk at lunchtime, went to a strip club and ended up in bed with a popsy.

Dr. Soaper falls for a joke where Babs covers the "wo" in "women's showers", and Fanny covers the "men's showers". Dr. Soaper accidentally goes into the women's shower room and attempts to get into the shower, but Miss HaggerdHaggard is in there. She takes him outside to prove he was wrong about the signs.

*MISS HAGGERDHAGGARD: I don't think a shower stall is the place for making advances!

*DR KENNETH SOAPER: I thought I got hold of the shower tap!
