Halloween at K River Campground


Dallas Downriver Club formally invites you and your family or friends to help us haunt K River Campgrpund just north of Antlers, Oklahoma at our annual Caddoween Campout on Friday, October 23th thru Sunday, October 25th, 2009. Camp will be at the pavilion at K River Campground. We will occupy as much space as is necessary around the pavilion.

The Kiamichi River is flowing at excellent levels right now, so those who choose to do so can paddle a few or a lot of miles above or below K River Campground between Dry Creek north of Clayton all the way down to Antlers. Some of us will go early and probably start paddling on Thursday and/or Friday before the crowd starts arriving. Bring a few sticks of firewood and everything you need for meals, camping, etc. K River Campground offers RV sites with electric hook-ups, rental cabins for those who do not want to tent camp, flush toilets, hot showers and other amenities that are not common to our usual Caddoween event at Caddo Lake, so this one will be like living in the lap of luxury, or something very close akin thereto. We will be base camping with easy access to vehicles, so bring whateer you think you might want or need.

Saturday, the 24th, will include several events and contests:

12:00 - Start of the pumpkin carving contest. Bring uncarved pumpkin, knives, candles, pattern, etc. Judging starts after dark. Plan on taking pumpkin home with you as they are not natural to Goat island!

2:00 - Pinata for the kids

3:00 - Best decorated tent site. All decorations MUST be removed when you leave.

4:30 - Dutch oven cook-off - have your entry ready at this time so we can eat it for dinner!

5:00 - pot luck dinner - please bring enough for your group.

After dinner - Trick or treating from tent to tent, bring treats or you could be tricked!

Bonfire, bring 2 or 3 pieces of firewood per boat.

Costume contest for kids and adults.

Ghost stories, bring your best! Maybe the "Lady of the Lake" will make her appearance. Pretty scary stuff! Prizes and awards from local paddle sports outfitter stores and DDRC.

Camping is primitive so bring water and appropriate camping gear. Plan on leaving no trace of your stay on the island.
