History of Samish Island

The Well at Shelter Mountain RoadyGoat

Camp Firwood, a youth camp on Lake Whatcom in Bellingham, Washington, was filmed as the exterior of the Shelter Mountain Inn cabins in the 2002 horror film The Ring -- the resort where Rachel discovers the covered well that the cursed girl, Samara Morgan, was thrown into. The killer videotape and seven-day curse are pure fiction; this is a real, working summer camp.
