“From the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing”
For the 1987 hit Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey danced right here, in the blue waters of Lake Lure, beneath a mountain moon. You can enjoy the scene from the comfort of a tour boat on a romantic moonlight cruise. The footbridge and the foundations of camp buildings used in exterior shots for the film can also be seen about 1/2 mile from Four Seasons Cottages. To reach the location by land, take Boys Camp Road and turn right on Chapel Point Road.
The camp was closed for visitors so you could not see anything.
There is now a housing development where the camp was. I
I remember driving past this structure 26 years ago when my father in law had a cabin on Boys camp Road. It is definitely sad to see a subdivision occupying this space. It would have been cool to see the building renovated. We now have a cabin nearby and I enjoy kayaking into the inlet of Firefly Cove to see the stairs. ❤️
I SO wanted to make a stop here for a photo op! But it was surrounded by a private subdivision. It was difficult to find then when we did there was no way to get to it, plus the 'Do Not Trespass' were disconcerting. Bummer that they build houses around this and made it their own private property.
