Halloween Camping Decoration Ideas We Love!
Halloween camping takes on a whole new level of fun when the campground fills with pumpkins, skeletons, spider webs, lights, and decked-out golf carts. At Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort, a Mississippi campground near Ole Miss, campers can get creative with everything from RV sites and cabins, to golf carts! Need some inspiration? Here are some of our favorite camper decorations for Halloween to help you plan your own setup.
Turn Your Campsite Into a Haunted Graveyard
Why settle for one Halloween decoration when you can transform your entire campsite? Create your own mini haunted graveyard with foam tombstones, skulls, fog, lanterns, and other creepy details scattered around your RV. Whether you're new to Halloween camping or decorate your site every year, you can make this idea as simple or elaborate as you'd like. A few tombstones can set the scene, while serious decorators can add fog effects, caution tape, and other details to create an entire haunted campsite.
Give Your Cabin a Haunted Makeover
Staying in one of our cabin rentals in Mississippi? Your porch is the perfect canvas for Halloween decorations. Add pumpkins, hanging ghosts, Halloween garland, a spooky wreath, and other decorations around the entrance. You can even carry the decorations along the porch railings for a setup that looks just as good during the day as it does after dark. It’s a fun way to make a cabin feel like your own during a fall getaway or Halloween camping trip.
Let Skeletons Take Over Your Campsite
Skeletons are a Halloween decoration classic, but the funniest displays give them a little personality. Instead of simply placing one next to your camper, create an entire scene. Set skeletons in your camping chairs, around the picnic table, or beside the campfire as if they're enjoying their own Mississippi camping getaway. You could even create a skeleton family or give them props that match your camping setup. The more unexpected the scene, the better!
Cover Your Camper in Creepy Crawlers
Sometimes one oversized decoration is all you need. Stretch giant spider webs across your RV or around your campsite and add a few oversized spiders crawling across them. This is one of our favorite camper decorations for Halloween because it's easy to customize to your space! Stretch webs around your awning, between decorations, or across the front of your camper to turn your RV into a creepy centerpiece.
Create a Pumpkin-Filled Campsite
Not every Halloween campsite has to be scary! If your family prefers festive over frightening, make pumpkins the star of your setup. Line your RV, cabin porch, or campsite with pumpkins in different sizes, then mix in hay bales, fall leaves, and scarecrows. You can even decorate or paint pumpkins together during your trip and add them to your display. It's an easy Halloween camping idea for families with campers of all ages.
Make Your Golf Cart Part of the Costume
Your campsite isn't the only thing that can get a Halloween makeover. Bring the decorations on the road by transforming your golf cart! Add Halloween garland, lightweight ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons, or other decorations to completely change the look of your ride. Whether you're staying at an RV site or exploring one of the campgrounds in Mississippi with the family, a decorated golf cart is a fun way to take the Halloween spirit beyond your campsite.
Light Up the Night
Your camper Halloween decorations don't have to disappear when the sun goes down. Use colorful lights to make your campsite glow after dark! Try orange and purple string lights around your RV awning, glowing jack-o'-lanterns around your campsite, or pathway lights leading toward your setup. You can also use lights to highlight the decorations you've already put up. Just remember to keep walkways clear and use outdoor-friendly or battery-powered lighting when appropriate.
Pick a Theme and Go All In
Some of the most memorable Halloween camping ideas start with one theme and carry it throughout the entire campsite. Turn your site into a pirate hideout, witch’s lair, creepy carnival, or even an old-school gangster hideout complete with brick walls, “Wanted” posters, and other themed details. You can even coordinate your decorations, props, and costumes to bring the whole idea together. Picking a theme is a fun way to get creative and make your campsite stand out during Halloween camping in Mississippi.
Tips for Decorating Your Campsite for Halloween
Before filling the car with decorations, think about what will work best outdoors. Choose weather-friendly decorations whenever possible, secure lightweight items so they don't blow away, and use battery-powered or outdoor-rated lights. Keep roads, walkways, and campsite entrances clear, and avoid placing cords or decorations where someone could trip over them. Most importantly, have fun with it! Part of what makes Halloween camping so memorable is walking around our Mississippi campground and seeing how creative everyone gets with their sites.
