There’s something magical about fall on the open road. The crunch of leaves under your tires, the scent of campfires in the air, and the thrill of discovering small-town celebrations where costumes meet campgrounds. Whether you’re traveling by RV or car, this is your sign to pack up, load your favorite people (and maybe a few pumpkins), and chase the season wherever the road leads.
Across the country, campgrounds and RV resorts are transforming into haunted havens this October, complete with trick-or-treating trails, pumpkin patches, haunted hayrides, and costume parades under the stars. From the California Delta to the rolling Texas Hill Country and up through the colorful forests of Michigan and New York, there’s no better way to celebrate spooky season than by spending it outdoors.
Campspot, one of the leading marketplaces for booking campgrounds, RV parks, and glamping stays, has seen a nearly 50% increase in Halloween bookings year-over-year. That’s proof travelers are trading crowded parties for ghost stories by the fire.
So fuel up, grab your costumes, and cue up your favorite road-trip playlist. Whether you’re chasing pumpkins or poltergeists, these Halloween-themed campgrounds offer the perfect excuse to get out, explore, and make this fall one to remember.
