I spent Friday may 13th 2011 in blairstown NJ touring the locations from the 1980 film "friday the 13th" complete with an exclusive tour of camp nobebosco!!!
Hello guys! I saw your video on 2011, it was the first one I checked about the city where Friday the 13th was filmed. Now I am here, following the same tracks, for the evening Tour Camp of today (20\08). Eleven years later, concluding a dream. Thank you for the help and inspiration! Cheers from Brazil!
I just screamed out of joy. damn this is so cool! thanks a ton for filming and uploading this. visiting that place must have felt so surreal and like FT13th heaven! this is so on my bucketlist now! thanks and cheers!!!; )
Amazing video. I one day want to visit this location because it's so beautiful. And perhaps a different image many have of New Jersey. The locations in Blaristown look similar to those used in the 70's horror film Alice, Sweet Alice.
Chris S The cabin used for Jack's and Ned's death scenes is called Sand Pond Lodge. Although it has been changed a lot over the years and the porch is gone.
a friend of mine called the camp recently and they said another tour will be taking place in the next few months no set day yet though, but great news that a 2012-2013 tour will be taking place!
Wow awesome video!! Great to know they do tours and they still have the sign!!! To the comments below mine I like sleepaway camp also.. Would love to see videos of it now if you can get them..
they told us a while back they are def doing a spring tour just no date announced yet. best way to keep in the loop is liking the FB page and theres a mailing list on the website.
As far as the lake goes... It's definitely sand pond at nobe. The scouts matched the screenshots to the reality perfectly. Somebody else was saying that it was filmed elsewhere... But IMO the work the scouts did was insane, they studied the blu ray and stills and found the approximate spot. As far as the tour goes, it looks really good that theyll do another one. Just "like" the tour page on Facebook... It'll keep you in the loop.
actually yes, nobody knows exactly where the showers were but the consensus is that it was a set built in one of the bigger cabins. we matched up windows to the right building but sorry to say there is nothing leftover from the showers. the camps actual showers were not used in the movie.
I know its not as cool, but I live in the town that Sleepaway Camp was filmed. It used to be an actual camp in the 1980s, but now is just people's summer camps.The lake is called Summit Lake, in the town of Argyle in Upstate NY. The Hudson Falls/Fort Edward police and ambulance vehicles were really from the 2 nearest towns since Argyle had no EMS at the time, and still has no police force.
So Cool. Great job. Scene of so much innocent fun.... and creepy sound effects. Enough to last a lifetime. Its great that they have preserved it, for the most part. I've heard the site of the number II, was bought by some private party, and the buildings demolished. Like WTFs with that? How can you destroy something that should be landmark status? I vote Camp Nobebosco- Landmark status !
@Ccg1171, all of the locations are right there on the grounds. The only things gone are the cabin which Ned got killed(with the porch, it's fell into the lake) Laurie bartrams cabin and the one Alice and Steve fix the gutter on. The shower building is still there, but the showers themselves were a set. I totally recommend doing the tour the next time they do it. The scouts were amazing and it was worth every penny.
@TKTnetwork yeah man, totally a guided tour. the camp did a one time fundraiser where they sold tickets for guided tours. was so totally well worth it, the scouts and camp were really great and really rolled out the red carpet. we also got carte blanche to see just about everything there.
done and done! so awesome that they are indeed doing this again! i will be there :0) Exnoctem i got a question, you didnt show much of the boat house and its a area im curious about, does the side with the three doors, stairs and pillars where ned sees mrs voorhees still look the same ? also the area where claudette is singing with barry where is that area on camp?
The mechanic's lodge was also used in the opening up scene. Where at the "Fox"-cabin in wich the killer walks pass those sleeping children on the way to the barn, i guess.
The best films for traveling to the filming locations are the horror movies, especially this one, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween. Whenever filming locations are at houses, they always interest me because they always fix them up to increase the value and they are always worth a ton. IMDB always tries to list the addresses so that helps when Google Mapping it or making videos for UA-cam.
I'm going to the camp for this thing called outdoor Ed in my school for the 6th grade, so I was wondering how big the lake is. My friends and I don't wanna get lost when we have to canoe in the lake! Get back asap because I'm leaving on Monday!!! Thanks so much!!!
Part 2 locations are in Connecticut. Most of it is still there. I believe the Exxon station is the only thing torn down (and that private house you're referring to, I think). Video in my favorites.
awesome tour guys! luv the parody of the certain scenes lol. I can see where Blairstown and Hope NJ are (on google earth) but where is Camp No Be Bo Sco aka Camp Crystal lake? Is it in Blairstown? Near There? I google earth it and it shows like 2 hours north of Blairstown. Where is it? How far from Blairstown?. I so want to go and visit the filming location of Friday the 13th (1980). Thanks again! big F13th fan.
@wrongwayfiend, they were as happy with the tour as we were... They gave us surveys and asked us for future suggestions... But as of yet we have yet to hear anything. No matter what though, I would TOTALLY go again!!
Part 2 was filmed in CT. There is actually a video in my favorites of the area. Or, you can find it if you search Friday the 13th part 2 locations. It's great! Part 3 is where they started slacking by shooting in L.A.
I love visiting these around Halloween. Is it still a BSA camp? This is great stuff. Must be fun (and interesting) to visit these places. And see how the magic of Hollywood can take reality and twist it anyway they like. Thanx.
long story short...i had a LOT of footage, most of which wouldnt fit into youtubes 10min limit. thats why the archery range for instance only got a still photo at the end. the boathouse is still there and looks very similar still but the cabin where need sees Mrs Voorhees is gone. the told the story that in a storm the cabin literally fell into the lake and is still there to this day.
dude that's terrible news, i always thought he went into the boathouse sense they filmed it like he was until i realized it was a different cabin further down, which is the one your saying is gone :( but at least everything else is still there! can't wait to go! are you going on the next tour too?
Great point, and totally true. The showers at camp were NOT used in the movie. The showers in the movie are believed to be a set made during production. We were able to find with 90% certainty the shower building but it looks nothing like it does in the movie so I didn't include it.
new jersey, in the towns of hope and blairstown. The camp is NOT open to the public though and i would not recommend going there unless a camp tour is arranged like the one we did.
I didnt think about it until I started seeing these location videos. But I dont have a camera, I have an old laptop, I dont even have a vehicle right now. Dealing with medical issues has me out of work so once I get my shit together, I might just go get some film of it. I use to go out there all the time fishing. AdamTheWoo has a video of it on his channel, you should check him out. The camp itself is gone and its mostly private property, some of its blocked off.
Hey this is the best video I've seen on the web as far as locating the different cabins. What is the name of the cabin that was used for Brenda's shower scene and Marcie's bathroom stall scene, and what is currently inside that one? What is the name of Kevin Bacon's bunk bed cabin and what is currently in that one? thanks
Could someone also tell me how to get to the barn where Barry & Claudette was killed? I saw everything but that & the lake where Jason pulled alice under, thats a different location & never found it...Thanx for directions =)
unfortunately we are still waiting on the follow up tour. They said they were going to announce a spring tour and the spring obviously came and went... perhaps the fall for friday the 13th?
Damn man you guys are lucky..I didnt know about this till yesterday.. Im pissed, I would have went NO DOUBT & paid the money for it..I went in 2009 & got in but I had to sneak in & in 2010 I went again & was denied entry & I was pissed cause I drove all the way from Massachusetts 5 1/2 hours for nothing..I have vids of all my trips to Blairstown on youtube, check them out if you want..Nice trip man you guys were luck to know of this, I wish someone would have told me..
3:53 i have always wondered how mrs Voorhes killed biil. We can see his throat was cut, so, Mrs Voorhes cut his throat and then, she hang his body on that wood door and use it as a target to practice archery? I think it has no sense.
all the cabins from part 2 are torn down, only area that really exists is the beginning with jeff and ted etc. and the roads obviously but the casino and cabins are gone.
That's the best you got. Your folks must be sure proud of you. You could actually get four letters together, not once - but twoce - to make a sentence. Bet you're the Einstein of the lot. "Cuz, you know, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Imean in the movie sense - After the first round of murders - It doesn't seem like a place you'd wanna send your kids. I knwo people tour it and such. But fantasy is a lot different then reality. Would I have gone knowing it was the movie sight - probably. But only in the daytime. LOL Would I go if actual murders had occured there? Equivocally - NO!!!
ywah buddy to hell with trolls, sit behind a screen and talk shiii ,,,,I grew up throwin hands in the 1980s dog and those tricks would not even have a platform then. Check out the part 3 location man that Let Adam ther silver spoon woo into, Im Heath by the way in the video that lets him into the ranch to film and do the spound effects and trailer pitch for the Higgins Haven filming location that I did on his channel
Yeah, and what's the point of bringing up the gay issue in a film that had not one gay person (scriptwise) in the storyline. I get a tad defensive - Comes with being gay, I guess. Yeah 1 out of 700 ain't bad. Odds are still on y side in the real world. Thanks.

I laughed out loud at 1:04, great Ralph impression!
I just screamed out of joy. damn this is so cool! thanks a ton for filming and uploading this. visiting that place must have felt so surreal and like FT13th heaven! this is so on my bucketlist now! thanks and cheers!!!; )
Wow! Great video Tour guys, I love Friday the 13th and you did a fantastic job showing us all the great spots!
Brings memories of nobee
Thanks for posting. Super cool!!
Great job guys! I love the side-by-side comparisons you did with the film. Thanks.
as a huge fan of the series, this is SOOO COOL!! thanks for sharing!!! i would love to visit some of the sets. shoot, just one, for that matter!
Amazing video. I one day want to visit this location because it's so beautiful. And perhaps a different image many have of New Jersey. The locations in Blaristown look similar to those used in the 70's horror film Alice, Sweet Alice.
Sweet video. I'm from Maryland one day I should take another trip up the road to Jersey and check out Blairstown.

Wow awesome video!!!! I am a big fan of the franchise.
WOW amazing video guys,... I always wondered if it was a real camp..great to see the actual place, thanks!!!

Nice I remember they had that Camp Crystal Lake sign in the trading post a long time ago. I got my swimming merit badge in that lake, lol.
thats awesome!!! Considering how long it's been, it looks alot the same!!!!
Wow awesome video!! Great to know they do tours and they still have the sign!!! To the comments below mine I like sleepaway camp also.. Would love to see videos of it now if you can get them..

Thank you this brings back a lot of memoriesI visited Blairstown and the camp myself back in 2014. I have a video from it on my page.
actually yes, nobody knows exactly where the showers were but the consensus is that it was a set built in one of the bigger cabins. we matched up windows to the right building but sorry to say there is nothing leftover from the showers. the camps actual showers were not used in the movie.
Ahh. Godamit Ralph!. Great job man.
this is awesome!
thats pretty awesome!! you should get some video of it up!
I know its not as cool, but I live in the town that Sleepaway Camp was filmed.

oh summer camps wish we had that in my country they look fun
So Cool. Great job.

Nice Job. Wish I could've been there.
Very cool guys, must have been a blast. ;)
@TKTnetwork yeah man, totally a guided tour. the camp did a one time fundraiser where they sold tickets for guided tours. was so totally well worth it, the scouts and camp were really great and really rolled out the red carpet. we also got carte blanche to see just about everything there.

Nice video! How did you get into the camp side? was that a guided tour? I would love to do that as well!
LMFAO! This was actually pretty good guys. XD
I love visiting these around Halloween. Is it still a BSA camp? This is great stuff. Must be fun (and interesting) to visit these places. And see how the magic of Hollywood can take reality and twist it anyway they like. Thanx.

Great video. I was wondering if you know where the gas station was where Annie stops pets the dog and asks how far to Crystal Lake was located?
dude that's terrible news, i always thought he went into the boathouse sense they filmed it like he was until i realized it was a different cabin further down, which is the one your saying is gone :( but at least everything else is still there! can't wait to go! are you going on the next tour too?
wait so do they have tours now of the camp grounds?
Yes, my boy scout troop goes here often.
I read somewhere that the existing outhouse/latrine and showers was'nt used for the Marcie death scene.
Great point, and totally true. The showers at camp were NOT used in the movie. The showers in the movie are believed to be a set made during production. We were able to find with 90% certainty the shower building but it looks nothing like it does in the movie so I didn't include it.
please answer me one thing? state in which the film was recorded and in which city? i am big fan of the franchise please answer me.
soooooooooooooooo lucky......i want to go to a camp tour
new jersey, in the towns of hope and blairstown. The camp is NOT open to the public though and i would not recommend going there unless a camp tour is arranged like the one we did.
God that is fucking cool.
dobbins2550 thank you!
How do you get guided tours ?
I wouldn't want to be there when it gets dark lol
I didnt think about it until I started seeing these location videos. But I dont have a camera, I have an old laptop, I dont even have a vehicle right now.

thanks
NO, it was a one time only charity fundraiser they did. theres been loose talk of another one but nothing confirmed yet.
If I'm correct, they went to Connecticut for some of the shots in Part 2.
Could someone also tell me how to get to the barn where Barry & Claudette was killed? I saw everything but that & the lake where Jason pulled alice under, thats a different location & never found it...Thanx for directions =)
unfortunately we are still waiting on the follow up tour. They said they were going to announce a spring tour and the spring obviously came and went... perhaps the fall for friday the 13th?
ill be an hour away from blairstown and an hour and 40 minutes away from the camp next week
The guy reminds me of Mark from Classic Game Room.
Damn man you guys are lucky..I didnt know about this till yesterday.. Im pissed, I would have went NO DOUBT & paid the money for it..I went in 2009 & got in but I had to sneak in & in 2010 I went again & was denied entry & I was pissed cause I drove all the way from Massachusetts 5 1/2 hours for nothing..I have vids of all my trips to Blairstown on youtube, check them out if you want..Nice trip man you guys were luck to know of this, I wish someone would have told me..
Muito loko Doido
its crazy how the critics rate the originals so low and now they are classics they were so wrong lol
3:53 i have always wondered how mrs Voorhes killed biil. We can see his throat was cut, so, Mrs Voorhes cut his throat and then, she hang his body on that wood door and use it as a target to practice archery? I think it has no sense.
whats the name of the fb page so we can keep up with it
YOOOO, THERE GOES MY M2CREW!!!! :) :) :)
all the cabins from part 2 are torn down, only area that really exists is the beginning with jeff and ted etc. and the roads obviously but the casino and cabins are gone.
1:11...Goddmamitt Ralph!

I know a park similar to camp nobebosco the park I'm talking is in blackville sc the lake is the same the cabins are similar t the ones in the movie
1:18 - 1:23 LOL
Where's addam the woo
Too bad they dont have a memorabilia store.
I don´t care if the film is fiction. I never would put my kids in that summer camp.
Did you see the showers were Marcie got an axe in her face?
DUDE WHERE'S CRAZY RALPH????
He was wearing the Al Bundy 33 shirt. By the way, that's me.
"I'd be a tad pissed if my parents sent me to this place."
You'd be surprised. It was a nice camp and I was happy I got to spend time there.
Imean in the movie sense - After the first round of murders - It doesn't seem like a place you'd wanna send your kids. I knwo people tour it and such. But fantasy is a lot different then reality. Would I have gone knowing it was the movie sight - probably. But only in the daytime. LOL Would I go if actual murders had occured there? Equivocally - NO!!!
dont care about the trolls, over 7,000 views and only one dumbass comment is a pretty good record IMO.
ywah buddy to hell with trolls, sit behind a screen and talk shiii ,,,,I grew up throwin hands in the 1980s dog and those tricks would not even have a platform then.

Another reason i LEFT new jersey
new jersey is a great state
get a life...you got too much time on your hands...lol
Irony- guy sitting at computer watching videos telling working man who travels the country for recreation to "get a life".
I watched this again....it is interesting. Sometimes I have to remember what I don't find fun someone else might. God Bless.
I think this is cool to watch.
