Camp Granada is a children's board game published in 1965 by the Milton Bradley Company for two to four players, with a playing time given as about sixty minutes. It is based on Allan Sherman's 1963 novelty song Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp). Players are campers who take turns driving a breakdown-prone toy bus along the road to different summer camp locations, collecting animals and trying to be the first to leave for home. On a turn a player draws a Bus card, which sends the bus to a named camp location to pick up an icky animal or grants a special privilege, such as taking an icky animal from another player. The board carries jokes drawn from the song, including spikes on the diving board, an octopus in the swimming hole and a lover's leap into a volcano.
