"Camping" sitcom?

Hi,

Does anyone remember a sitcom about camping from (roughly) the On the Buses era? Not Hi-de-Hi but tent camping. A friend swears he has happy memories of this but I can't place it. Perhaps he's remembering a sketch? Thanks.

Can't think of a sitcom but there's a classic Mike Leigh TV film/Comedy Drama about an hour or so long from about then - Nuts In May. Very admired Classic comedy.

Carry On Camping?

Carry On Camping?

You could be on to something.

Happy memories / knockers.

Carry On Behind, too.

Yes. Alison Steadman as Candice Marie and Roger Sloman as Keith.Brilliant stuff.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. My friend has confirmed it was "Carry On Camping". Unforgettable, I would have thought! Thanks again.
