The Western North Carolina region has a storied summer camp tradition, owing to its unparalleled beauty and access to numerous outdoor experiences. With national and state parks everywhere you turn, serene waterways like the ancient French Broad River and thousands of miles of hiking and biking trails that start in the city and lead to unforgettable adventure, it's no wonder why Hollywood comes a-calling when they need the perfect summer camp backdrop!
Summer Camp, a comedy starring Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, and Alfre Woodard is the latest camp movie to be filmed in the area. In the movie, three childhood best friends who used to spend every summer together at camp reunite for a summer camp reunion with the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains as their backdrop.
Our advice: don't just watch the movie – live it! Start planning your Asheville trip now to experience the summer camp magic firsthand.
