10/10
We had a…read morefantastic time at Camp Coffin Creek. Check-in was a breeze, and our tent was plenty big enough for the two of us and all the stuff we brought. The food at the concession stand smelled and looked great, although we were too busy trying to survive to actually stop and eat.
The camp and surrounding areas were designed incredibly well. Everything was clean and organized while still having the perfect run-down, dilapidated summer-camp appearance. Horror movies played on a huge outdoor screen, techno-horror music blasted throughout the camp, and monsters constantly roamed the grounds. It created a fun, energetic and genuinely creepy atmosphere.
The staff was excellent. Their costumes looked great, and everyone stayed committed to their characters. We also had a bit of a medical emergency during the experience, and the entire staff, including the monsters, handled it perfectly. They didn't baby us or completely break character, but they continued checking on us throughout the night to make sure everything was okay. They were spectacular: very good, and very evil.
We loved both the Fight and Flight attractions.
In Fight, you move through an infected camp searching for a cure while blasting zombies. If a zombie touches you, you become "infected." At the end, they scan everyone with a black light, identify the infected campers and administer the "cure." It was interactive, creative and a lot of fun.
Flight was much more physical and intense. You sprint, crawl, hide and try to escape while zombies hunt you. Each camper wears three flag-football-style flags, and the zombies try to snatch them. You must escape with at least one flag remaining to win. Some zombies loudly groan and charge at you in plain sight, while others stay completely silent and hide in the darkness, waiting for you to pass. Between the darkness, fog, creepy atmosphere and uncertainty about where the next zombie was hiding, it was intense as all get out.
Afterward, we were taken into the forest for the survival portion of the night. We spent approximately 30 minutes running through the woods and evading slashers. Somehow, after being chased through the darkness by a group of psychos, we made it out of the forest alive and returned to camp.
Back at camp, there was a series of traditional camp-style games with horror twists. There was always something happening, something to explore or something trying to kill you. The entire night remained entertaining from beginning to end.
Camp Coffin Creek was such a unique experience. It was far more than simply walking through another haunted house. It was interactive, intense, exciting and, at times, genuinely exhausting, in the best possible way.
We would absolutely recommend it and will be coming back for anything else these guys host. 10/10.
