Halloween isn’t just for neighborhoods and front porches—it’s the perfect holiday to celebrate on the road! Whether you’re parked at a campground, exploring a new city, or traveling between destinations, there are so many creative ways to get festive in your RV this October.
1. Decorate Your RV for Halloween
Transform your RV into a rolling haunted house! String up orange and purple lights, hang spider webs across your awning, and add window clings or mini pumpkins on the dashboard. Keep it simple with removable décor—battery-operated candles, hanging ghosts, and fun doormats make a big impact without taking up space.
Pro Tip: Join a campground decorating contest—many parks host them throughout October!
2. Host a Campsite Costume Party
Invite neighboring campers for a Halloween get-together! Play themed music, set up a snack table, and encourage everyone to show off their costumes. If you’re traveling with kids, organize a costume parade around the campground—it’s a fun way to meet others and show off your creativity.
3. Trick-or-Treat at the Campground
Many RV parks organize safe trick-or-treating events. Decorate your campsite and hand out candy to little ghouls and goblins who stop by. Even if you’re boondocking or off-grid, you can still make it fun—hide treats around your campsite and let your kids go on a Halloween scavenger hunt instead!
4. Enjoy Spooky Movie Night
Set up an outdoor projector and watch Halloween classics under the stars. Cozy blankets, popcorn, and hot cider complete the perfect fall evening. If the weather isn’t cooperating, move it inside your RV for a warm and comfy night in.
5. Cook Up Some Festive Treats
Your RV kitchen can handle more than you think! Try making caramel apples, pumpkin spice cookies, or roasted pumpkin seeds. A slow cooker is great for keeping cider warm or making chili for a crowd.
6. Explore Local Haunted Attractions
Check out haunted trails, ghost tours, or local fall festivals near your destination. Many small towns go all out for Halloween—exploring their spooky side can make your RV trip even more memorable.
7. Tell Ghost Stories by the Campfire
Nothing beats a good ghost story under the stars. Gather around the campfire, dim the lanterns, and take turns telling tales. Bring along s’mores for extra fun (and maybe to calm your nerves afterward).
Make This Halloween One to Remember
Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends, celebrating Halloween in your RV brings a whole new level of adventure and creativity. So grab your costumes, stock up on candy, and hit the road—your next spooky destination is waiting!
