Overview

Babes in the Woods sets its sights on the Pine Tree Resort, newly reinvented by Martha Figby after her husband's passing. Desperate to save the struggling business, Martha markets the camp as an upscale getaway for respectable, busy businesswomen. Her first trio of guests—three vivacious young women—waste no time in shaking up the scene. Their arrival is marked by a spontaneous nude swim at Hidden Falls, a stranded jeep, and an unconventional approach to hitchhiking. Martha's earnest attempts to entertain her guests include a nerve-jangling airplane tour, while the women bring their own brand of fun—mixing mischievous antics with the camp's wholesome intentions. It’s a sun-soaked, lightly risqué romp that playfully toes the line between innocence and cheek.
