Happy Halloween! It’s the perfect day to remember that Camp Crystal Lake from the 1980 horror classic Friday the 13th is a real Scout camp.

Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco (short for North Bergen Boy Scouts), a nearly century-old, 380-acre camp in Hardwick, New Jersey, run by Scouting’s Northern New Jersey Council, served as the film’s eerie backdrop.

In 1979, Scout leaders rented the then run-down camp to the filmmakers for $25,000, and more than 80% of the movie was shot on site. Special effects legend Tom Savini bunked in the camp’s cabins during the month-long shoot, creating the film’s memorable practical effects, including Kevin Bacon’s infamous scene. The low-budget film went on to gross nearly $60 million worldwide and launched one of horror’s most enduring franchises.

Today, the camp still welcomes Scouts each summer for swimming, canoeing, crafts, and classic camp traditions. In the off-season, a company run by camp alumni has led sold-out fan tours since 2011, staging props at filming locations around Sand Pond.

Scout camps hold plenty of stories beyond the campfire, though some are a little scarier than others.
