On a haunted campground owned by one family for generations, the caretaker must make sure the guests don't die while also managing an eternal battle between the mysterious creatures and forces that call the camp home.
For fans of Welcome to Night Vale and The World of Lore, a horror-comedy series adapted from an r/nosleep subreddit thread with 16,000 passionate readers and originally self-published to cult fame.
Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled How to Survive Your Camping Experience. In it is a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campgroundβsβ¦ otherβ¦ inhabitants.
With the land turning ancient, it is no longer just the campers that are in danger. Kate is the key to ascension and every inhuman entity is out for her blood. All the lesser creatures are making attempts on her life, from the hammock monster to the gummy bears. Kate isn't willing to let her land go without a fight. If these creatures are going to hunt her, then she'll hunt them in turn and eradicate everything from her land that cannot coexist with humanity. With the help of both her inhuman and human allies, it looks like Kate might actually have a chance at controlling her land. But ancient land attracts ancient things, and the town has a bad history with ancient creatures.
A new entity has come to the campground, bearing an old grudge against one of the inhabitants. Its malevolent designs will put the entire land at risk β unless Kate can stop it.
