help finance Swamp Women for Corman, who returned to Louisiana with his cast and crew for the production. Larry Woolner's wife Betty said her husband "was crazy about" Corman. Woolner's son Jurt said “A big part of my father’s decision process was whether he could visualize the poster. So you can just imagine a movie called Swamp Women. That laid a very clear exploitation track to follow.” A former Louisian governor owned a large plantation, and invited the filmmakers to make a movie there.

The film was shot on location in Louisiana near the town of Lacombe, and was shot in either 10 or 22 days, depending on the source. Jonathan Haze, who worked with Corman a number of times, had a small role in the movie and also worked as a fight co ordinator for the women. He says the Woolner brothers had him arrested and put in prison as a joke, but called them "really good people. They played hard-guy, but deep down they were nice. Barney was always in a hurry, while Larry was much more cool and quiet, and not so much of a character.” Beverly Garland, who would go on to make several films with Corman, called the movie: A terrible thing! Roger put us up in this old, abandoned hotel... I mean, it was really abandoned!... I'm surprised that the hotel had running water! I remember that we each had a room with an iron bed. Our first night there, I went to bed, and I heard this tremendous crash! I went screaming into Marie Windsor's room, and there she was with the bed on top of her— the whole bed had collapsed! Well, we started laughing because everything was so awful in this hotel, just incredibly terrible, and we became good friends. Windsor confirmed this, saying Corman is "such a nice guy. but he's sure hard on you out on the location." Mike Connors recalled, "the girls in that picture had it much worse than I did. They were playing escaped convicts, and they captured me. They had to trudge through the mud, the swamps, pulling this rowboat, and I was sitting in the rowboat high and dry."
