The main story is in Camp Green Lake in Texas, Elya Yelnats' story is in Latvia, and the first Stanley Yelnats' story was mainly set near the mountains not too far from Camp Green Lake
According to Sachar he began thinking about a dried up lake in Texas called Green Lake and started writing about Camp Green Lake. He states, " I suppose the initial inspiration for writing about the camp came from the heat of summers in Texas. At the time I began the book we had just returned from the relative coolness of a vacation in Maine to the Texas summer."
There is no Camp Green Lake in Texas. It was a fictional juvenile detention facility that was featured in the movie Holes. The area that they filmed in was originally a lake but it dried up.
