About this location

Pettigrew State Park offers filmmakers a haunting natural canvas centered around the 16,600-acre Lake Phelps, an ancient Carolina bay surrounded by primordial cypress swamps and remote coastal plain vistas perfect for period dramas, mysteries, and atmospheric indie productions. The park's historic plantation structures and pristine wetland ecosystems create striking visual contrasts—from dense, moody cypress stands to open water and weathered architectural elements—ideal for capturing the isolated, timeless character of North Carolina's coastal interior. Located in Washington/Tyrrell County and available for exterior filming with advance permits, Pettigrew State Park delivers authentic, undeveloped landscape that reads authentically on camera for productions seeking untamed natural backdrops.
