Blairstown is a small town West of Newton, NJ, located in the Northwestern corner of the state, close to the Pennsylvania border. Sean Cunningham chose this location because it provided the perfect small town setting for the events of the fictional "Camp Crystal Lake" to take place.

The Moravian Cemetery is close to Hope, NJ, and is actually not much closer to the campsite. This road is where Enos lets Annie out to walk the rest of the way to Camp Crystal Lake.

The archery range is still in place, although it appears that several trees have been cleared away to make more room. The basic structure of the area has not changed, however.

This is another recognizable shot of when Mrs. Voorhees is watching the counselors swimming. You can see that the watchtower that was white is now painted brown, and the dock is stored on land while it is not in use. The brown building further back is where Ned thought he saw someone and went to inspect a noise...
