The Sullivan's Crossing location
The Harold T. Barrett Fun Forest Camp on Beaver Bank Lake served as the Sullivan's Crossing campground.
Established in 2000, this Scouts Canada–operated facility sits on a 5-acre property located roughly 16 miles (25 km) north of downtown Halifax.
The camp is currently not open to the public, providing plenty of space for filming.
