About Camp Crystal Lake

The counselors went home. The servers went dark. But the lake doesn't forget.

Camp Crystal Lake is a community resurrection of Friday the 13th: The Game online on PlayStation. Gun Media pulled the plug - we plugged it back in.

What's at camp

1. Public matchmaking - the lobby is open, the hunt is on
2. Private lobbies - bring your friends, lock the cabin doors
3. Every trophy - the Platinum is earnable again
4. Persistent stats - your kills, escapes, and deaths are tracked permanently
5. Pamela - our Discord bot that tracks stats, server status, and player activity
6. PS4 and PS5 - both consoles, same server

PS Plus

Yes, PS Plus is required. Online multiplayer goes through Sony's network - not even Jason can get around that.

Keeping the lights on

The campfire doesn't burn for free. Hosting, infrastructure, and development take real money. If you want to help keep Camp Crystal Lake running, you can contribute on Ko-fi.

All the money goes towards funding the server costs.

The code

The standalone community server (ccl-server) is fully open source. Download it, audit every line, host your own camp.

The production server adds security layers that aren't public. The game's original protocol is full of holes - our patches work because nobody knows where they are. Publishing them would hand every script kiddie a map to every player's data.

Transparency matters to us. That's why we built the wiki you're reading.
