Ashburn Waters (2020)

Binns organizes a camping trip for his friends from high school since they rarely see each other anymore.  Brett isn’t up for it after getting dumped but Binns convinces him it will be great to see the gang. However he neglects to tell Brett that his ex Scout is going and bringing her new boyfriend. Also they’ll all be car pooling.  So we already know Binns is kind of a dick.

When Binns goes in to check on getting a campsite, the manager laughs because it’s a holiday weekend and Binns has no reservation. When the manager says the only place with empty lots at this time of year is Ashburn Waters, the front desk person hushes him.  They don’t mention the reason its not full is due to the murders.

Binns doesn’t pick up on the tone and heads off to Ashburn Waters. When they see a man taking down the camp signs, Binns asks him about camping there. The man turns out to be the owner and angrily tells him to get off his property as the camp is closed. Binns tells the group it’s fine and they drive until they hit a locked gate. Brie has a bad feeling and wants to leave, but the others want to stay so they leave their cars to carry their stuff in.  

While walking, they see a creepy guy glaring at them from the woods.  No one is suitably alarmed at a creepy angry guy at an empty closed campsite. They decide to set up camp away from him, but later he shows up again and warns them to leave.  One of the guys says he can’t tell them to leave since he isn’t the owner. Lack of self preservation confirmed.  Things will not go well for them.

Ridiculous dialogue

Creepy guy: Leave if you know what’s good for you
Someone in the group:  He’s not the owner so he can’t do shit.

You made me cheat.
