Three Octobers running

Halloween Camping

Amanda and I didn't invent it, but for three Octobers running we've been all in. Here's why it rocks.

The day

Cold, but not too cold.

That's the whole trick. You spend an October weekend outside in the woods with an all-day fire going and movies playing in the background. There are games. There's pumpkin carving. There's hot apple cider that tastes better than it has any right to.

A weekend at the site, 2023.

The night

The only thing missing is more campers.

If the sites were full, you could wander the loop after dark and see everyone else's Halloween decorations. For now it's just us, which is its own kind of great. Last year we even set up a scavenger hunt down a wooded path. Halloween camping rocks.
