Great Escapes RV Resorts Celebrates 57 Events of Halloween Fun Across 16 Resorts

Nearly 15,000 guests and 945 dogs turned out for costume contests, trick-or-treating, and haunted thrills in October alone

HOUSTON, TX (Nov. 9, 2026) Great Escapes RV Resorts is closing the books on one of its most spirited Halloween seasons yet. Across 57 Halloween events at 16 resorts, campgrounds filled with costumes, candy, and family-friendly frights, and October alone brought 15,000 guests and 945 pets through the gates. Guests also picked up 482 day passes and 244 fun passes during the month, proof that Halloween at the campground has become a tradition families plan around.

From Wisconsin to Texas and Colorado to Georgia, Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resorts, Great Escapes RV Resorts, and KOA locations each put their own spin on the season. Resort teams built lineups ranging from a Carnival of Screams to a Halloween bash made for dogs to a Not-So-Spooky Fall Festival for the littlest campers, so every family could find its kind of Halloween. No matter the resort, the result was the same: fall memories made together at the campground.

Season highlights include:

• Costume contests: guests of all ages, and plenty of dogs, suited up to compete for the title of best costume.
• Trick-or-treating: park-wide candy routes turned every campsite into a treat stop for young campers.
• Haunted thrills: haunted trails, spooky nighttime rides, and eerie surprises gave braver guests a scare worth talking about.
• Decorating contests: campsites and golf carts transformed into spooky showpieces, with prizes on the line.
• Themed events: from Hauntober Fest to Monster Mash Bash, each resort built its own lineup of Halloween fun.
• Magic pumpkins: 1,148 magic pumpkins went home with young campers, making the Magic Pumpkin Patch one of the season's most popular stops.

“Every year our teams try to outdo the last, and this Halloween was no different. They turned our campgrounds into full-blown fall festivals, complete with haunted trails, candy-filled campsite loops, and costume contests where the pups nearly stole the show,” said Troy Sheppard, COO of Great Escapes RV Resorts. “When nearly 15,000 guests and almost 1,000 dogs choose to spend Halloween with us, it tells us families aren’t just visiting for a weekend. They’re making us part of their tradition.”

With Halloween wrapped, select Great Escapes resorts remain open through the fall and winter with holiday celebrations, cozy cabins, and full-hookup RV sites. Families ready to start planning next year's Halloween getaway can book at greatescapesrvresorts.com.
