About this location

Croatan National Forest offers filmmakers a rare convergence of coastal Carolina ecosystems—pristine pocosin wetlands, blackwater streams, and longleaf pine forests that create hauntingly beautiful natural backdrops ideal for atmospheric dramas, horror, and adventure productions. The forest's distinctive landscape, including rare Venus flytrap habitats and the tannic-stained Neuse River estuary, provides visually striking and authentically wild exteriors that feel isolated and dramatically rich. Located across Carteret, Craven, and Jones counties, this expansive public forest requires filming permits but rewards production crews with endless scenic variety and the kind of moody, untamed environment that translates powerfully on screen.
