The private camp property is not open to the public at any time outside of our official tour dates. Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco has been an active youth camping facility since 1927. The safety of our youth campers is priority #1. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Our nostalgic guided tours are not meant to be scary, but fans of the movie will often experience non-stop chills and excitement from the experience of exploring these iconic horror landmarks – especially at night!

These events are run by camp alumni that are passionate about ensuring that the 98 year old private youth camp is around for many generations to come. Our tours provide much needed funding for Northern New Jersey Council’s properties and programs. In addition, we have also raised over $30,000 for other local camps that serve both children from marginalized communities and children with cancer.

Our guided tours take fans on a walking journey through the famous locations at the camp which have not changed much since the filming in 1979. Our fan-favorite extended tour visits the main cabin (a.k.a. “Comanche” Lodge), Brenda’s cabin (a.k.a. “Seneca” Lodge), Alice’s cabin (a.k.a. “Fox” Lodge), the lake, beach, the canoe scene, the opening fireplace scene, the storage building, generator shed, archery range and more. Our photo area featuring replica vehicles and props is available during all tours. Please see the description on the date you are interested in as the activities included with each tour may vary.

If you’re a super fan of the movie, our VIP Overnight Experience should be at the top of your horror bucket list! This premium experience includes a full tour, dinner, movie screening, campfire, overnight stay, breakfast, canoeing on the lake, newly forged friendships, memories to last a lifetime and much more! This exclusive overnight opportunity has only been offered on 8 weekends since our tours began in 2011. Minimum age 21.

We offer tours in the afternoon and evening. The afternoon tours are great for bright photographs, but there’s nothing quite like being there in the evening hours when it gets dark. Many fans make a return visit to experience both options.

Yes! Our on-site gift shop is available to ticketed guests before and after their tour. You can also visit our online gift shop at any time.
