Why stick to traditional at-home celebrations when you can enjoy a whole month of spooky fun at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ in Pelahatchie? Our family-favorite RV park offers five spooktacular Halloween weekends, each filled with thrilling activities for both kids and adults. With that being said, pack your costumes and your camping gear for a hauntingly unforgettable experience!
Why celebrate Halloween with a family camping getaway in Mississippi?
Halloween is a time to embrace the spooky, the silly, and the supernatural. What better way to do that than with a family camping trip at one of Mississippi’s best RV parks and campgrounds? Camping adds a whole new layer of adventure to Halloween. Picture yourself around a cozy campfire, sharing ghost stories, and heading out for trick-or-treating under the stars. Did you know Halloween’s roots trace back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest and the start of winter? Communities would ward off spirits with costumes and bonfires. These traditions have evolved into the fun-filled holiday we love today. RV camping lets you celebrate Halloween in a way that’s both classic and uniquely adventurous!
What to Expect at Our Spooktacular Weekends
For five weekends, Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie transforms into a Halloween wonderland, offering an array of activities for campers of all ages. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store:
Magical Pumpkin Patch
Kick off your weekend at our Magical Pumpkin Patch! Upon arrival, grab your magical seeds from the Ranger Station and plant them with a dash of Halloween charm. Overnight, watch your pumpkins grow as if by magic! It’s a delightful way to get into the Halloween spirit and start your family adventure on an enchanting note.
Scarecrow Making Contest & pumpkin carving
Unleash your creativity with our Scarecrow Making Contest. This is your chance to bring a spooky (or silly) scarecrow to life! Whether you’re going for creepy or cute, there are prizes for the most inventive designs. And, of course, no Halloween celebration is complete without a pumpkin carving session. You and your family can carve your pumpkins into spooky or whimsical designs, and then proudly display them at your RV campsite.
Costume contests & site decorating
Dress to impress at our Costume Contest, where you can show off your best Halloween attire. From ghouls to goblins, superheroes to storybook characters, everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Prizes await for the best costumes, but the fun doesn’t stop there! Compete in our site decorating contest and transform your RV, cabin, or tent into a haunted wonderland. The top decorators will win a free night’s stay on a future reservation; what a treat!
Halloween Parade & trick-or-treating
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Get ready for the ultimate Halloween tradition: trick-or-treating! Bring plenty of candy for our eager little trick-or-treaters as they parade through the park in their festive costumes. Whether you’re dressed as a witch, a wizard, or a werewolf, our Halloween Parade is the perfect way to show off your spooky style.
Trail of Terror
For those who dare, our Trail of Terror offers a heart-pounding journey through eerie scenes filled with unexpected frights. But don’t worry; for younger or more timid guests, we have a Not So Haunted Kiddie Trail to ensure that everyone can enjoy the thrill of Halloween.
