Halloween Camping 5 Great Tips For A Spooky Camp-Out
Halloween Camping 5 Great Tips For A Spooky Camp-Out
With Halloween right around the corner, it’s time to think about all of the fun and exciting activities you
can do with your family members that will make for a memorable holiday. Of course, you could stick
with the old tried and tested recipe and head out on a trick or treating excursion around the
neighborhood, but how’s about this year you did something different? What about a family camping trip
into the great outdoors?
Just imagine how deliciously spooky it would be to sit around a camp fire at night, tell ghost stories while
wearing your costumes, or trick or treating with other campers. Yes, Halloween camping is super
exciting, so here are the five eerie tips to help you organize an amazing Halloween camp-out.
Start by choosing the kind of decorations you’ll be making on the spot. It’s important to know exactly
what you’ll be making because you’ll be able to bring all of the right supplies, and avoid hauling too
much stuff with you. For example, to make monster rocks, you’ll need paint, some brushes, and a lot of
googly eyes. Monster eyes are also very popular and easy to make – you just need some paper towels
and some small LED glow sticks. Simply carve out the eyes in the paper towels, wrap them around the
glow sticks and put them in various places around the campsite.
Go ahead and decorate your tents with Halloween-themed decorations, bring plenty of marshmallows
to roast over the fire, and don’t forget to bring fold-out chairs for everyone. Bring lanterns and
flashlights (also makes for an excellent tool when telling ghost stories), a first-aid kit, camping utensils, a
portable fridge, and your essential tech such as a camera, smartphones, and portable chargers.
Get dressed up for Halloween
Of course, you can’t have a Halloween party without scary costumes. Be sure to prep all of your
costumes well in advance, because chances are that you won’t be able to make any last-minute
alterations on the site. What’s more, be sure to dress appropriately underneath, because the weather
can get quite chilly, and consider going without any Halloween makeup because it can be tricky to take
off if you don’t have the right lotions and equipment. To make the whole dress-up party that much
more exciting, you can host a costume contest and invite everyone from your camp to participate.
Wrapping up
Camping on Halloween is one of the most exciting things you can do with your family this year, and it’s
bound to make for a memorable night spent with your loved ones. Before you set off, though, be sure to
follow these tips in order to organize yourself the best Halloween party ever.
