FORT PAYNE — Campers in DeSoto State Park have been decorating their campsites with Halloween decorations for years.

Now there is a campsite decorating contest.

“Decorate your site with the most original and creative Halloween décor you can find … you might win a prize,” park officials say.

The best decorated sites will win prizes including free camping. There will be first-, second- and third-place awards and a prize for most creative.

Winners will be announced Oct. 27 via DeSoto’s Facebook/Instagram(#desotostatepark) page and will be contacted via email or phone.

Decorations must remain on the individual sites and not bleed over into others’ sites, roadways, trails, etc. The decorations must be removed from the site at camper checkout.

“Please, no glitter/confetti, paint, toilet paper or other materials that cause damage to the park,” officials said. “Help us observe ‘Leave No Trace’ in the park where we can, especially with picking up litter.”
