Campgrounds
The campsite is equipped with many modern amenities such as running water and shower stations, to ensure your comfort during your stay. There is also a camp store stocked with groceries and other necessities, so you don't even have to leave site if you forgot anything!The surrounding towns have many delicious home-style restaurants, bars with live music, and many other local attractions. You'll also find fresh produce straight from family farms and firewood on almost every corner.We have many events throughout the year, but open camping is available almost every weekend. We are closed during the winter and on Halloween, the summer solstice, Pentecost, and a handful of other significant dates of the year. Please check the calendar and ensure you have designated your next-of-kin before visiting.
The Team
Our camp staff is here to help you have an enjoyable visit! Please don't hesitate to ask them for help or phone the camp emergency line if no one is close enough to hear your screams.
This camp has been in the same family for generations now. You'll find aunt and uncles and brothers and grandparents all helping out to keep the campground running efficiently and safely. We also employ a lot of locals to take care of the grounds and run our camp store and restaurant. While you're here, you're part of the family too.
Here's a couple of the friendly folks you might meet during your stay!Aunt Aleda and Uncle Tobias typically help behind-the-scenes and tend to stay on the front porch of their cabin, which is firmly off-limits to campers. If you do meet them though, rest assured you're in capable hands - Uncle Tobias grew up on the campground and knows how to handle its dangers!You might come across my brother Stuart. He's recently returned to the campground after working as a cattle rancher in the south and is eager to help out. Don't confuse him with my younger brother, Tyler, who will sometimes come out to the campground to help with major events.Finally, if you see a fellow followed by a pack of dogs, don't be intimidated. They might be large and scary-looking, but they're sweet little puppies on the inside. Go say hi to Bryan and ask if you can pet them.
Finally, you might run into some of our more reclusive inhabitants during your stay. Please treat them with respect and remember to always follow the rules that you received as part of your information packet. Otherwise, don't be afraid to say hello to the friendly ones. You might just learn something about yourself, the world around us, and the world that we cannot see. (please consider carefully if you can bear the burden of knowing, for the things they say can never be forgotten)

Goat Valley Campground has killed generations of Kate’s family. The land is old, passed down through generations, but the campground’s reputation doesn’t just draw campers year after year. Creatures from folklore and horror have made Goat Valley not just their home, but their hunting ground.As campground manager, Kate has rules to protect her campers—if the man with the skull cup offers you a drink, accept it or you will die a gruesome death; don’t buy ice from the children with no wagon; and of course, never ever follow the lights. Still, not every camper follows the rules…which means not every camper survives their stay.Soon decapitated and exsanguinated campers are the least of Kate’s worries; one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the campground is determined to claim the land for himself. Meanwhile, something in the land is shifting, the tides are turning, and the curse that hunts members of her bloodline begins to close in…
Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled “How to Survive Your Camping Experience.” It includes a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campgrounds other…inhabitants.With the campground in the throes of a bad year, it will take more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously lying dormant are starting to stir and they’re waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman things alike.Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage. On top of all this, the man with the skull cap has started taking an unusual interest in Kate. But with the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down, and a sinister spider infestation, Kate is going to need all the allies she can get, even if those allies aren’t actually…human.
