The Great Melanated Little Camp of Horror

The Great Melanated Little Camp of Horrors 🎃🏕️

Pack your costumes, grab your camping crew, and get ready for a Halloween weekend in the great outdoors.

The Great Melanated Little Camp of Horrors is a family-friendly, PG-13 camping experience bringing together community, Halloween fun, outdoor adventure, food, games, costumes, and just the right amount of spooky.

From Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, we’re transforming the campground into our own Halloween camping village for a full weekend of connection, laughter, friendly competition, campfires, and things that may go bump in the woods.

👻 What to Expect

This isn’t just camping with a few pumpkins scattered around.

We’re building an entire Halloween weekend experience.

Throughout the weekend, campers can look forward to:

• 🎃 A decorated Halloween Camping Village
• 🏕️ A full weekend camping experience
• 🏆 Melanated Games: Family Halloween Edition
• 👻 The Little Camp of Horrors Saturday night experience
• 🚜 A Haunted Hayride
• 💀 Haunted activities and spooky nighttime rotations
• 🧛🏾 Costume contests and Halloween fun
• 🍽️ Saturday dinner and additional meal options
• 🔥 Campfire time, music, games, and community
• 🍿 A relaxed Friday evening to arrive, set up camp, meet your neighbors, and settle into the weekend

Whether you’re camping with your family, coming with friends, bringing your partner, or joining the adventure solo, the weekend is designed to give you plenty to do while still leaving room to relax and enjoy camp.

🎟️ HOW TICKETS WORK

Your Weekend Camper Ticket is for ONE person and includes your camping spot plus the weekend experiences included with your ticket.

Bringing family or friends? Every additional person attending must be added to your reservation as an additional guest.

Example:
If 2 adults and 2 children are camping together, you would purchase:

• 1 Weekend Camper Ticket
• 1 Additional Adult
• 2 Additional Youth tickets

You do not need to purchase a separate campsite ticket for every person in your tent. The Weekend Camper Ticket establishes your campsite reservation, and then you simply add the other people staying with you.

Think of it this way:
🏕️ Weekend Camper Ticket = your campsite + the first camper
👤 Additional Adult/Youth = everyone else camping with you

Each tent reservation may accommodate up to the stated occupancy limit for that ticket type.

Still unsure what to purchase for your group? Send us the number of adults and children attending and we’ll help you figure it out.

🏆 Melanated Games: Family Halloween Edition

Saturday brings out the competitive side of camp.

The Melanated Games: Family Halloween Edition will bring campers together for a lineup of outdoor games, team challenges, relays, and family-friendly competition.

Expect kids, teens, and adults to get involved.

Some challenges may test your speed.

Some may test your teamwork.

Others may simply test how willing you are to look ridiculous in front of the entire campground.

Bring your energy. Bring your crew. Bring your competitive spirit.

🌙 Saturday Night: The Little Camp of Horrors

When the sun goes down, camp changes.

Saturday evening brings The Little Camp of Horrors, our signature Halloween night experience filled with eerie environments, haunted activities, creepy characters, costumes, music, and spooky surprises throughout the campground.

Expect darkness.

Expect fog.

Expect things hiding in the woods.

And expect at least one person in your group to claim they “weren’t scared” afterward.

The overall weekend is designed as a PG-13 family camping experience, but some nighttime attractions may include:

• Darkness
• Jump scares
• Fog
• Loud sounds
• Creepy characters
• Halloween props
• Haunted environments

Parents and guardians should use their discretion when deciding which nighttime activities are appropriate for younger campers.

🚜 Take a Ride Through the Darkness

One of the signature Saturday night experiences will be our Haunted Hayride.

Climb aboard, grab a seat, and ride through the campground after dark as the woods come alive around you.

Expect Halloween lighting, fog, decorations, creepy characters, and a few surprises waiting along the route.

The haunted hayride is designed to be spooky, fun, and memorable without crossing into graphic or extreme horror.

🍽️ Come Hungry

Camping is better with good food.

Saturday includes a meal with select ticket options, and additional meal choices may be available for campers who want to add food to their weekend.

We’re building the menu around hearty, crowd-friendly dishes that fit the relaxed outdoor atmosphere.

Youth meal options will also be available for younger campers.

Specific menu selections and meal details will be provided with ticket options and to registered campers before the event.

Choose Your Camp Setup

However you like to camp, we’ve got a setup that fits the weekend.

Bring your own gear and build your campsite your way, or choose one of our prepared tent packages and arrive with less work waiting on you.

Camper of Horrors — Bring Your Own Tent
Perfect for campers who already have their own setup. Bring your tent, sleeping gear, chairs, and camping essentials, and we’ll provide the Little Camp of Horrors experience around you.

Comfort Camp of Horrors — Tent + Sleep Setup
A more comfortable camping option with your tent, setup and takedown, plus basic sleeping equipment prepared before you arrive.

Glamp of Horrors — Furnished Glamping Setup
For campers who want the spooky woods without giving up all the creature comforts. This package includes an upgraded furnished tent setup prepared before arrival.

RV of Horrors — Bring Your Own RV or Camper
Rolling into camp with your own RV, travel trailer, or camper? Choose this option so we can reserve the appropriate site for your setup.

Each tent package can accommodate up to 4 campers, or up to 5 campers when the 5th camper is a Youth Camper.

Additional adults, youth, and little campers can be added to your reservation during checkout.

🎃 Make Your Campsite Part of the Experience

Your campsite isn’t just where you sleep.

It’s part of the Halloween village.

We encourage campers to decorate their tents, canopies, RV areas, and campsite setups and bring their own personality into the weekend.

Go creepy.

Go funny.

Go elaborate.

Go completely overboard.

Pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, lights, cobwebs, graveyards, monsters, and creative themes are all welcome as long as decorations remain safe and campground-friendly.

By Saturday night, we want walking through camp to feel like exploring an entire little Halloween neighborhood.

👨🏾‍👩🏾‍👧🏾‍👦 Bring the Whole Camping Crew

Little Camp of Horrors is designed for families, couples, friends, solo adventurers, teens, and children to experience Halloween outdoors together.

You don’t have to be an experienced camper.

You don’t need the fanciest equipment.

You just need to be ready to spend the weekend outside, meet some new people, and have a little fun in the woods.

The event maintains a family-friendly PG-13 atmosphere, with younger campers welcome throughout the weekend.

Campers 13 and older require a regular event ticket unless otherwise stated in the individual ticket description.

Please review ticket descriptions carefully when purchasing for your group.

🎟️ Choose Your Halloween Experience

You don’t have to experience the weekend exactly the same way as everyone else.

Ticket and add-on options allow you to build the experience that works best for your camping crew.

Depending on the ticket selected, options may include:

• Weekend camping admission
• Saturday admission
• Adult campers
• Youth campers
• Additional campers
• Meals
• Youth meals
• Other event add-ons

Camping space and certain add-ons are limited and may sell out separately.

If your group plans to camp for the entire weekend, reserving early is strongly recommended.

🔥 A Halloween Weekend Built Around Community

At the center of all the games, costumes, decorations, food, haunted experiences, and campfires is something simple:

getting outside together.

Little Camp of Horrors is about creating a place where Black and brown families, friends, couples, and outdoor lovers can spend Halloween weekend camping, laughing, competing, eating, decorating, getting scared, and making new memories together.

By Saturday night, the lights will be glowing, the costumes will be out, the campground will be buzzing, and somewhere in the woods somebody will absolutely be screaming.

Hopefully because of the haunted attraction.
