Camper Costumes: Fun Halloween Ideas for Your RV & Campsite

Halloween camping weekends are a favorite tradition at campgrounds everywhere. Families transform their RVs and campsites with spooky decorations, lights, and even camper “costumes.” Many campgrounds even host best decorated campsite contests, which makes the decorating competition extra fun!

The best part? You don’t need expensive supplies to make your campsite stand out. All of these campers were decorated with plastic tablecloths as the base, plus simple add-ons like giant googly eyes from Dollar Tree and foam sheets for details. Affordable, easy to set up, and big on impact!

Here are four creative Halloween camper makeovers anyone can try:

🎃 The Jack-o’-Lantern Camper

Orange plastic tablecloths cover the camper’s front, while black foam sheets are cut into triangle eyes, nose, and a jagged smile. Add a green detail at the top for the stem. Pumpkins, hay bales, and twinkle lights around the site create a pumpkin patch glow.

👻 The Ghost Camper

A white plastic tablecloth instantly transforms your camper into a ghost. Stick on oversized googly eyes from Dollar Tree (or cut circles from foam sheets). Inflatable characters, glowing buckets, and spider webs stretched across trees complete the ghostly vibe.

🧟 The Frankenstein Camper

Green tablecloths form the face. Black foam sheets make the stitches and hairline, while white foam rectangles create teeth. Add tombstones, skeleton props, and eerie green lights throughout the campsite for a chilling monster setup.

🩹 The Mummy Camper

White tablecloths are cut into strips and wrapped around the camper. Slip in a pair of big foam eyes or Dollar Tree googly eyes to peek through. Cobwebs, pumpkins, and skulls scattered around the site finish the look.
