Employees at Twin Knobs Campground in Kentucky are spending off-hours and about $3,000 per year to build and run a growing Halloween haunted trail, now in its second season.
Twin Knobs Campground employees are using off-hours to build and staff a haunted trail for Halloween, aiming to turn the campground into a destination for October visitors as the attraction enters its second year, according to a report from LEX18.
The LEX18 report describes how campground staff members volunteer time outside their scheduled work to help create the haunted trail experience, with employees contributing both planning and on-site help during the Halloween season.
In addition to the time commitment, the employees are also paying for part of the effort, with the report stating they spend about $3,000 a year to support the haunted trail’s operation and growth.
This year’s effort, like the first, is centered on producing a consistent Halloween attraction for families and other guests visiting Twin Knobs Campground during the fall season.
LEX18 reported that the haunted trail has continued to develop beyond its initial setup, with employees drawing on what worked in the first year while expanding the experience for returning guests and new visitors.
The campground’s approach relies on a volunteer-heavy staffing model among employees, rather than hiring a separate cast or crew, according to the account, and it emphasizes staff participation in both building and running the trail.
With the attraction now in its second year, the campground employees’ time and personal financial contribution are expected to remain a key part of how the haunted trail functions through the Halloween weeks.
As Halloween week progresses, Twin Knobs Campground’s approach highlights how local businesses and community-oriented attractions can depend on staff involvement and direct investment to sustain seasonal events.
