Hershey Park Halloween 2017

We have never camped at Hershey campground for Halloween before and since we couldn't book anywhere else we decided to give it a try. The only other time we've been here was when Mckenzie was like 9 months old and I honestly I don't remember it at all. We arrive Friday after we hit a ton of traffic we had a site all the way in the back all the sites seem pretty spacious and everything was pretty clean. we got set up ok and the kids went exploring while a cooked dinner. It was pretty packed they only had a couple sites here and there open and most of the sites were decorated. The gave us a map at the gate and someone in a golf cart showed us to our site everyone seemed very nice and helpful. Friday was pretty uneventful we didn't bring any wood with us so we just stayed in the camper most of the night and watched TV. Saturday we woke up and I made breakfast they put out a schedule of the events for the day and I was surprised to see they all started at 9am and were done by 12pm, they had a costume contest and pumpkin carving contests and all the prizes were given out from 9 am to 10am, at 11 am the trick or treating started.... yes 11 AM and lasted till noon. The paper said to meet at the office and visit the different places on the map and get candy... we were so confused so apparently they give you a map of 12 different station to go to and get candy and thats it for the most part. and these stations just go in a big circle I had to ask because I wasn't sure whats was going on. The lady I asked said they do it this was so that the campers aren't expected to give out any candy. So we were done in about 10 minutes lol. There were some campers giving out candy but not many and we didn't give out any and usually we go through 2 big bags of candy but no this year. The park has a an event that you can pay to go to but the kids wanted to stay and play with their friends, thats the only other reason I can think that they have trick or treating so early. they rest of the day the kids played on the playground and we got some fire wood from the office that was wet so it didn't burn very well. all in all it was an ok weekend but we will not be going back for Halloween again just wasn't enough for the kids to do.
