Plot summary
Maria Nacastro is on her way to summer camp when a garbage truck driven by Angela Baker runs her down, one year after the killings at Camp Rolling Hills. Angela throws the body into the back of the truck, takes Maria's place on the bus, and arrives at Camp New Horizons, which sits on the same grounds. The camp is an experiment meant to pair wealthy teenagers with poorer ones. Once the campers have settled in, counselors Herman and Lily Miranda and Officer Barney Whitmore split them into three groups. Angela is placed with Herman, Snowboy, Peter Doyle and Jan Hernandez, while Bobby Stark, Cindy Hammersmith, Riff, Arab, Marcia Holland and Tony DeHerrera camp at other sites on the grounds.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Felissa Rose, who played Angela Baker in the original Sleepaway Camp, was asked to return for the third film but was busy with her enrollment at New York University, so the role went to Pamela Springsteen.
- Because some of the actors were underage, representatives of the Georgia Department of Labor were on set to keep them out of sex and nudity scenes, to watch them during graphic kills and to stop them using profanity.
- Daryl Wilcher, who played Riff, told director Michael A. Simpson he was not comfortable spitting on Kim Wall's Cindy as scripted, even though Wall was fine with it, and the scene became Riff hitting Cindy in the face with a bowl of oatmeal.
- Violence had to be trimmed from the film before the MPAA would give it an R rating, and Anchor Bay Entertainment later put some of that deleted footage on its 2002 DVD release.
- Kyle Holman watched the original Sleepaway Camp, hated it and turned down a part in Part III; his agent convinced him to join by saying the film was being made by a different crew.
- Director Michael A. Simpson supplied the red Ferrari driven by Tawny Richards, played by Randi Layne, then fell in love with the car, drove it down the Interstate at night and moved it between scenes himself.
