Halloween in Algonquin Park

This was our second year booking a site in Algonquin for their Halloween weekend, and when we booked there was still a bit of hope that their celebrations would still be happening despite the pandemic. Not long after, the park made the inevitable decision to cancel all organized activities, but we decided to go anyway since we enjoy going to Algonquin in the shoulder season and a lot of our friends were still going. This is huge because Hayden loves to be outside with friends and camping at Mew Lake gives him the freedom to roam the park and play with friends without having parents watching his every move.

Halloween at Mew

For the past few years we have heard about how several Ontario Parks campgrounds host Halloween festivities, but have not had the chance to go. Camping near the end of October has its challenges due to the cold and wet weather, and although we’ve often camped as far north as Arrowhead Provincial Park for Thanksgiving, we are not really properly prepared for the colder camping season. However, this year we really felt like we had the knowledge and skills (and blankets) to endure any weather Mother Nature would throw at us.
