Halloween just got a serious upgrade at Jellystone Park™ Tyler — and we're not just talking about the candy.
This fall, we're bringing six full weekends of Halloween fun from September 25 through November 1, packed with haunted trails, costume contests, trunk-or-treating, and more spooky surprises than you can shake a broomstick at. And this year, we're adding something brand new that's turning heads (and maybe a few stomachs): a $2,000 Grand Prize Site Decorating Contest... EVERY single weekend.
That's right. Six weekends. Six winners. Six chances to walk away with $2,000.
New This Year: The $2,000 Site Decorating Contest
Think your campsite has what it takes to be the scariest spot in the park? Prove it.
Every Halloween Weekend, we'll be awarding $2,000 to the best-decorated campsite or cabin on the property. No theme requirements, no limits — just your creativity, your Halloween spirit, and however many inflatables, fog machines, and spider webs you can fit into your site.
And the prize? Spend it however you want. Put it toward your next stay. Fill up your tank. Stock your pantry. Buy even more Halloween decor (we won't judge). The $2,000 is yours to use as you see fit.
With six separate contest weekends, first-time visitors and returning campers alike all have a shot at the top prize. Contest terms and conditions apply.
