While we wait for the return of the Friday the 13th franchise with Peacock’s television series “Crystal Lake,” the real-life Crystal Lake is opening back up for tours this Halloween!
The original horror classic Friday the 13th was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, an active Boy Scouts camp in Hardwick, New Jersey. Unfortunately, the campgrounds are off limits to the public, meaning you can’t actually visit the filming locations outside of rare special events that the camp offers. And that’s where Crystal Lake Tours comes into play.
For the last several years, Friday fans have been offered the opportunity to tour the real-life Crystal Lake, and tickets are still up for grabs for tours – and overnight stays – this October.
The premium overnight experience includes a full tour, dinner, movie screening, campfire, overnight stay in a movie cabin, breakfast, canoeing on the lake, newly forged friendships, memories to last a lifetime and much more!
Upcoming event dates and times include…
