Halloween may not have the same historical significance in Australia as it does in the United States, but it’s quickly becoming a beloved holiday Down Under.
And what better way to celebrate Halloween than in the great outdoors?
If you’re an avid caravanner looking for a unique and memorable way to mark this spooky holiday, a caravan park can be the perfect setting.

Transform your caravan into a haunted haven by adorning it with eerie decorations.

You can find an assortment of Halloween decor at local stores or get creative and make your own decorations, utilising materials you have on hand.

Set up a trick-or-treat trail within the caravan park, allowing kids (and adults!) to go from caravan to caravan, collecting goodies along the way.
Make sure to inform your fellow caravanners in advance, so they can prepare treats to hand out.
Keep it safe and fun by setting designated hours for trick-or-treating and ensuring well-lit paths.
