The group stopped and set up their tents, but they heard thumping noises. Uncle Marvin begins telling a ghost story about a group of campers who wanted to spend a night in the woods. Uncle Marvin interrupts and calls both kids back to the campfire. Alexander sings well, but his new friend, Elvis, sings horribly. Uncle Marvin guides the campers in a song. Harry's hot dog falls into the fire, and to Harry's shock, Lucy unflinchingly retrieves it.

A girl named Lucy greets Harry, and the two begin roasting hot dogs. After unpacking, the boys go to the camp's campfire. They notice a strange blue liquid pooling in multiple places on the floor. Uncle Marvin takes the boys their cabin, and they unpack. Uncle Marvin alludes to a test that will take place at the camp's campfire gathering later that night. Chris introduces the boys to Uncle Marvin, the giant man who runs the camp. A camp counselor, later revealed to be Christopher, approaches the boys and explains the brothers had been the subjects of a camp prank the other campers were actually just hiding. After a short walk, the boys arrive at their camp, but they don't see any other campers and become worried. The bus stops eventually, and the boys get off. Alexander, a talented singer, is sad that his parents didn't sign him up for a music camp. Two brothers named Harry and Alexander Altman are on a bus traveling to Camp Spirit Moon. First a girl sticks her arm in the campfire. Then the jokes start to get really serious. And the way the old campers love to play jokes on the new campers.

But the camp has so many weird traditions. Harry and his younger brother, Alexander, are dying to fit in at Camp Spirit Moon. The cover illustration shows a girl following invisible ghost campers as lightning strikes in the background. Despite the title, it actually has nothing to do with this book. This book received a spiritual successor titled Return to Ghost Camp, which is the nineteenth book in Goosebumps Series 2000. Ghost Camp (also known as Haunted Camp) is the forty-fifth book in the original Goosebumps book series.
