It’s still in summer in Michigan, but it’s already time to think about fall camping reservations.
Many Michigan state park and recreation area campgrounds have already set dates for annual harvest festivals.
The popular events take place each September and October and have activities like trick-or-treating, hay rides, pumpkin carving, costume contests and haunted trails. Some campers even go all out and decorate their campsite.
State park and recreation area campsites can be booked six months in advance, so the prime time to lock in fall and Halloween fun is now.
Reservations are important because the festivals are typically open to registered campers only. Some campground have events over multiple days or weekends.
Here’s a list of the Michigan state park fall harvest festivals in 2025. Check back as more are added.
