Here s What To Expect If You d Like To Camp Where The Original Friday The 13th Filmed

Get the Full StoryWould you happen to be looking for something else to do this spring other than hunting for Easter eggs and dealing with the unfortunate reality of having to mow the lawn again? Well, if you fancy yourself a huge fan of the Friday the 13th film franchise, a unique opportunity has presented itself but you re probably going to have to act quickly.

As it turns out, the next public tour of Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco is set to go down on Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14. That s right, the real life location that served as Camp Crystal Lake during the filming of the original movie from 1980 will soon be open to a select amount of diehard fans and trivia buffs. In fact, one could say this is doubly special with it being a real location that s still standing, as opposed to a backlot.

For more on what’s going on, here’s some info culled from the press release:

In order to relieve the stress of the ticketing process for our fans, we will be moving to a simple lottery system for these tours.

In addition to the regular tours, there will be two VIP experiences available via a ticket auction.

This will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for hardcore F13 fans. To learn more, please browse to our VIP page and place your bid for a VIP ticket by 11:59PM EST on February, 27th, 2018.
