The Friday the 13th Camp Still Exists in New Jersey

The camp from Friday the 13th still exists today. It has been 46 years since the movie came out, and the place where it was filmed, Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in New Jersey, is still there.

Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco was a Boy Scout camp during filming

The camp spans over 380 acres of dense, remote wilderness in Hardwick Township, a rural area of New Jersey. When the movie was shot, the property was a Boy Scout camp. I believe it is still that to this day, and it hosts many youth events.

The low budget meant Friday the 13th used what the camp already had

When they first started filming Friday the 13th, they did not expect the movie to do well. Because it had such a low budget, they had to use everything that was already in the camp. That is why Boy Scout signs appear on the walls in several different scenes. Every single structure except for the bathroom was already there, used by the camp counselors and the campers.

The working camp offers Crystal Lake tours in the fall

Since the camp is still operational, it even runs Crystal Lake tours during the fall.
