Camptown Ladies Paperback – January 10, 2012
Purchase options and add-ons
"Damn if I didn't actually laugh out loud while reading it—several times, in fact. If you're looking for a funny, well-written novel . . . give this a try!"—AfterEllen.com
Just when you thought it was safe to pitch your tent, the Santora family shows up. Lisa's taken over a rundown campground, baby sister Marie's been dumped (again!) by the actress, and the Santoras don't know the meaning of minding their own business. When the whole clan decides to fix things for their girls, it's a hilarious recipe for havoc. Camptown Ladies is the sequel to Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer.
Mari SanGiovani lives the crazy Italian family lifestyle and writes about it like no one else.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2012Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseSo Happy 4th and I have a HUGE party to go to today and last night I couldn't put Camptown Ladies down to save my life. I wanted to be well rested for this and nope stayed up half the night finishing the book and laughing out loud for most of it! I loved the 1st book too. You have a sense of humor I haven't seen since my best friend in high school. It is AWESOME and I can't wait to read your next book. Please keep writing cause I will keep buying and reading. I truly hope both books get made into a movie as the Santora family is so funny the movie would be hilarious to see! Thanks Mari for making my night last night! Happy Holiday to ya!Camptown Ladies
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2012Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI just reread my review of this authors first book..and I have to say that par of it
will fit the bill here as well. So, to quote that review:
"This is a book that you will want to read in one sitting because
it's just too good to put down. This is about an Italian family
with all the foibles of any family, anywhere. This family, however, takes
it all to a new level. The inside family jokes, the funky dad and the mean auntie.
Other books have all of these things but not with the flair and the humor of this one."
This time we find Marie and her siblings involved in restoring a campground that
her sister Lisa bought, on something of a whim. The story brings back the characters
from the first book, so you will want to read that one first, because it is too good to miss..
So once you have Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer, and Camptown Ladies next to your
reading chair, or bed.. or whatever.. prepare to be entertained. Where was I ? Okay..
so.. Mare, Lisa and Vince are working at restoring an old campground to serve the masses. In particular
it is meant to say the masses of gays and lesbians who are to lured in by good food, parades and all
sorts of gimmicky, and hilarious activities planned by the trio.
Erica is brought in from California to do much of the work, because she is the best, and
since inheriting all that delicious money, they can afford the best. So despite an sad
breakup with Vince, Erica packs her bags and climbs up to the roof and starts shouting orders
while looking quite decorative. Believe me, no one fails to notice just how decorative! Even
a previously taken for granted old uncle falls victim to her many charms.
Now I don't want to give too much of this away, but you will have a rollicking good time
taking side trips to Provincetown, Massachusetts and unbelievably, even more hilarity ensues.
I would not miss these books if I were you.. they have everything, and I do mean everything. A
huge part of Mari's gift is sharing laughter. And she shares it freely in her books. There is nothing
I would like better than to see movies made of her books, or at least a television series. We need more
laughter in this country and Mari is just the woman who knows how to get us there....
No.. I am not a friend of hers.. I do follow her on Facebook, and have been touched in many ways by her
life and her sharing. I am just a reader who enjoys reading and I have particularly enjoyed these books.
Treat yourself..
Recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2013Being of Italian decent, I can totally relate to this story. This book is hilarious ( even if you aren't Italian.) Camptown Ladies is well written and very entertaining. With it's camping theme, it makes for a great summer read. I just loved it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017Beautifully written, makes you laugh out load on one page and shed a tear the next. I can't get enough of those characters!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI enjoy this author and her humor.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2012Just as great as her first book Greetings from Jamaica, wish you were queer.
This book continues with Marie's story of love heartbreak and loyalty, all twisted in with her classic sense of humor.
Can't wait for her third book in the series to come out!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015Wonderful book . Very well written and proofed. Looking forward to reading another book by her.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2025Format: KindleGreat summer read, fun and wacky characters! Mari paints a picture with words, you will feel like you are there.

AnReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 20125.0 out of 5 stars I've laughed and cried, great book!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAfter reading 'Greetings from Jamaica' I was thrilled to see Mari SanGiovanni's next book come out 'Camptown ladies'. It made me laugh out loud and cry. It's the sequel to 'Greetings from Jamaica' and it's about the Santorini family opening a gay campground. Really loved reading it and hope a next book by SanGiovanni will come out very soon.
LyndsayReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 30, 20143.0 out of 5 stars No need to buy it, just read the blurb!
A little disappointed with this novel. Whilst there are some genuinely funny laugh out loud moments for the most part the book is very predictable and a little drab. I had high expectations for this book as I had previously read and loved 'Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer'. Perhaps I need to adjust my expectations.
