New Ticketing Options for 2026…
This year we will be offering four (4) types of ticket levels. This allows us to offer additional camp sites due to the growing popularity of this event. Remember: if you do not plan to bring a tent, please choose the General Admission ticket. If you plan to just tailgate with a popup tent and not spend the night, please choose the 10’x10′ Popup ticket. This helps make more camping plots available for those that plan to bring a tent and spend the night.
The three (3) ticket levels for 2025 include:
- $70 – General Admission (no plot  included)
- $75 – 10′ x 10′ Popup (for popup tents and small camping tents)
- $85 – 14′ x 12′ Â Campsites
All tickets include: Access to Howl-In Activities & Events, Dinner, S’mores, Costume Contest, Trick-r-Treating, Movie, and Breakfast the following morning.

- Do plan to bring 200 pieces of candy for the trick or treating from tent to tent.
- Do step in to help: with games, activities, security, or cleanup.
- Do keep an eye on all children, not just your own. It takes a village!

- Don’t think you can drop your kids off. This is not Daddy daycare!
- Don’t bring fire pits, fireworks, or firearms.
- Don’t invite your entire neighborhood or extended family. This event is for your immediate family to enjoy together.
