In 1986, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives was filmed right here in Hard Creek Labor State Park, creating a spooky and surreal backdrop for this slasher film.

In case you haven’t seen the film, Jason Voorhees comes back from the dead to target camp counselors at what has been dubbed “Camp Forest Green” which is actually Camp Daniel Morgan in the park.

If you’re brave enough, reserve a campsite and watch the film before you go to see if you can recognize any of the background during your visit.

While the campground and the state park are not at all as scary in real life as showcased in the film, once the sun sets, you’ll still be out there…all alone…
