This is on an island called Jackson Lake Island. You can find out information about the island on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/JacksonLakeIsland/timeline

When you get there, you call the number on the gate to get the gate code. Don't worry, there are instructions on the gate. Then you put your entrance fee in a provided envelope at the gatehouse. The fee is $3 per person to visit and $10 per person to stay overnight. If you're not staying overnight, you have to be off the island by dark.

Once you go through the gate, just keep following the dirt road onto the island until you eventually see a little wooden sign that says Spectre with an arrow pointing to the left. Go to your left, and you'll start to see the tiny wooden town. Be warned, this town has residents, a small herd of goats. All of the ground around and inside of the prop houses is covered in goat droppings, so be sure to check your shoes before you get back in your car.

The town itself is showing lots of wear and tear, which is to be expected from a prop town outside on an island. It's really neat to see the parts that have aged naturally versus the parts that were aged by the set dressers for the movie. There's a line for you to throw shoes on like the little girl did in the movie, so bring an old pair with you for an awesome photo-op!

When we went, there were lots of people fishing on the island and people kayaking in the water around it. There were also a fair number of people camping. We even saw two separate couples taking what looked like engagement pictures. It was an absolutely beautiful area.
