Share some backcountry camping horror stories.

Wild animals are a very common element. For example, bears, wolves, or mountain lions that can pose a threat to campers. Another common thing is getting lost in the backcountry, which often leads to panic and fear as resources like food and water start to run out. Also, strange noises at night are often part of these stories. Campers hear things like scratching on the tent or howling in the distance and don't know what's causing it.

One horror camping story is about a group camping near an old forest. At night, they heard strange howls. They thought it might be a wolf, but the sound was too eerie. Then, they saw a pair of glowing eyes in the dark. They quickly got into their tents and huddled together. The next morning, they found huge paw prints near their campsite that were much larger than a normal wolf's.

There was a camper who went camping alone in the mountains. At night, he heard soft whispers outside his tent. When he peeked out, he saw a figure in a white dress just standing there. He tried to shine his flashlight on it, but it disappeared. Then, the whispers got louder and closer until he couldn't take it anymore and ran all the way back to his car.

One story could be about a camper who heard strange growling noises all night long. They were so scared that they huddled in their tent, not daring to move. In the morning, they found huge claw marks on a nearby tree.

A group of friends went RV camping by a lake. In the middle of the night, their RV started to shake as if there was an earthquake. But there was no earthquake reported in the area. As they huddled together in fear, they heard a deep, guttural growl coming from outside. They were too scared to go out and check, and they spent the rest of the night praying that whatever it was would go away. In the morning, they found huge, unexplained footprints around their RV.

One time I was camping near a forest. At night, I heard strange growling noises that seemed to be getting closer. I was so scared that I just huddled in my tent, not daring to move. It turned out to be a wild boar that had wandered into the camping area. Thankfully, it didn't attack my tent.

There was a solo camper who parked his car in a secluded area for camping. As he was about to fall asleep, he heard a faint whispering outside. He couldn't make out what it was saying. He got really freaked out and decided to leave immediately. Later, he found out that there was an old, abandoned house nearby and the wind might have been making strange sounds as it blew through the broken windows, but it was a truly spooky experience for him.

Sure. One backcountry real story is about a hiker who got lost in the mountains. He had to rely on his basic survival skills like finding water sources and building a shelter from branches and leaves. After days of wandering, he finally found a small trail that led him to a ranger station.

When camping in the mountains, we had a really creepy experience. We were sitting around the campfire when we all smelled a really bad stench. It was like something rotten. Then we heard these growling noises from the bushes. We thought it could be a bear or a wild dog. We put out the fire and got into our tents. We could hear it pacing around outside for hours. It was the scariest camping trip I've ever had.
