Disney Channel fans are just realising that you can experience a holiday just like Camp Rock in real life; there is an almost identical spot with beautiful lakes, campfires and more
Every noughties child who was glued to the Disney Channel had one dream: to rock out at Camp Rock and rub shoulders with the Jonas Brothers, just like Demi Lovato’s character, Mitchie Torres. Nearly two decades on from the film’s release, fans are still belting out tunes from the Camp Rock soundtrack and its follow-up, Camp Rock 2.
Now, die-hard movie buffs can rejoice as there’s a ‘real-life Camp Rock’ where they can live out their musical fantasies. Nestled in Haliburton in Ontario, Canada, Kilcoo Camp offers idyllic scenes that could be straight out of the movie, featuring quaint cabins and lush woodlands set against the backdrop of the pristine Lake Wanakita.
A TikTok user recently shared a sneak peak of her time there. TikTok user @nomswithcat declared she was “living out my childhood dreams” while posting about her last meal at the camp.
Her final day kicked off with a “splendid view” and a breakfast of bread cake. “I had it every single day, it’s literally just jam and bread,” she confessed.

After breakfast, she warmed up for a dance session, later indulging in a hearty lunch of spaghetti and meatballs smothered in marinara sauce, which she described as “sweet and savoury”.
The camp experience wrapped up with a classic evening of fireside barbecue and s’mores.
“It was such a lovely way to end off camp,” the TikToker said, admitting she would miss the camp cuisine.
Fans of the iconic film were left stunned to discover that Camp Rock isn’t mere fiction.
One flabbergasted fan exclaimed: “Camp rock is a real place why didn’t anyone tell me.” Another lamented: “You mean to tell me I could have saved all my money to go here?”
“Wait you’re telling me that we can go to Camp Rock,” echoed another, full of surprise. “Wait, what this is real?” one asked in disbelief.
While another shared their astonishment: “Why didn’t I know this was a thing?” “Oh wow never knew it was real,” admitted yet another fan.
The location, known for hosting summer camps and educational trips, also offers private retreats.
However, enthusiasts dreaming of their own Camp Rock experience should note that it comes with a hefty price tag; a four-week stay this summer will set you back $6,675 (£4902), while a two-week stint costs $3,950 (£2901).
