This book has been my white whale for the longest, as the only 2000 book I didn't have access to. It was finally put on Archive.org recently so that inspired me to do finish out the 2000 books this month. I felt like doing this earlier in the week as I may double dip on my last one, we'll see.
This isn't as immediately review-worthy as some others but I will cover it on the blog anyway...since I've done all the other camp books anyway. I won't be super deep anyway so I'll keep this short. Yes, it has nothing to do with Ghost Camp and it's weird they called it this since it only became a big favorite later due to reviewers. I knew that going on so I was able to judge it for what it is.
It's fine. Yeah, I know, I say that a lot lol, but it is. It has enough interesting/fresh ideas to keep my going, with the protagonist switching identities with a kid named Ari, the legend of The Snatcher. It flows alright and has a few creep/tense moments with said snatcher. However, it does have a bunch of little scenes that are a repeat of other books, not even just Ghost Camp. There's even a camper named Billy at one point because this must remind you of all the other camp books.
The identity idea doesn't quite bubble up in the way it should, it's almost there as a really interesting element but doesn't quite cary through by the end. I'll explain it more in detail some day but I don't quite get Ari's whole deal.
It's like a lot of these, where there's enough as far as positives and idea to pull you through, but doesn't go through enough to create something special. Still, it's a fine read and not worth dumping on just for the weird branding. It's nothing quite special though, even without comparing it to Ghost Camp.
It's the better of the two camp books in Series 2000 at least. See ya whenever when I finally finish having read all these at least once, with Creature Teacher.

First off, this book's title is a bit misleading. In Return To Horrorland, we got a direct sequel. Same characters, and the same (kind-of) location. I was kind of expecting this book to follow suit, but the only thing this book shares with the original Ghost Camp is that there are a few scenes that imitated / repeated. Other than that, this is more of a stand-alone book, and really has nothing to do with Ghost Camp - unless it does take place within the Ghost Camp 'lore' that I am unaware of.
But the camp in this book has a different name, we get all new characters, and quite a different plot than the last one.
I did like one of the ideas behind this story, the idea of the "Snatcher" creature and its taking various forms (not really much of a spoiler, as the 'Snatcher' is described in a campfire story pretty early on), but that idea is not really explored to its full potential. That was one of the only things about the book that really had me interested; and during the climax near the end, it was pretty gripping and interesting and I liked that little "battle" that went on and the slight mystery in regards to who was the "Snatcher".
Apart from that aspect of the story... I didn't really care for this book all that much.
Honestly, I thought it was kind of boring.
I don't know why, and I don't really have a lot else to say about this entry in the series. I just found it kind of boring and uninteresting. Even despite the fact this book has very little if nothing to do with the original Ghost Camp, I tried to get into it for what it was, but I just didn't think it was very good.
The story didn't seem to have much focus (the whole mistaken identity thing was too played out, imo, and they should have introduced the girl, Laura, sooner, I think), and there just wasn't a lot of substance to what was going on. And the whole bit with the protagonist's brother, no spoilers, but his brother's character and decisions just made no sense... and then we get a bit of a cliffhanger with his role in the story.
So... I don't know. I don't have very strong feelings for this book one way or the other, but I suppose it would be accurate to say it's one of my lesser favorites of S2K so far.
There just wasn't anything about this book that really stood out, and the story just seemed to be kind of weak. Still, it wasn't horrible, but not one I can really recommend either.

Dustin sering bermimpi buruk. Orangtuanya memaksa dia masuk ke Camp Full Moon dengan harapan dia bisa berubah. Maka, ketika teman barunya mengajak untuk bertukar identitas sebagai candaan, ia pun menyetujuinya. Serentetan nasib baik langsung didapatkannya ketika menjadi "Ari". Ia bisa tinggal di pondok paling bagus dan teman-teman barunya memperlakukannya dengan istimewa bak selebritas. Namun, semuanya jadi mencurigakan sejak Paman Lou menceritakan legenda Si Pemangsa.
Kalau ini adalah sekuel, aku enggak ingat pernah baca cerita sebelumnya. Tapi, aku pernah baca cerpen R.L. Stine yang juga tentang "perkemahan satu dan perkemahan lain dipisahkan oleh perairan". Banyak yang kecewa karena mereka bilang ini bukan lanjutan. Aku sendiri senang-senang saja, sih.
Blurb yang ternyata bagiannya sudah muncul di awal novel dan ternyata kejadiannya tidak menakutkan seperti ekspektasi meski cukup disturbing—hal ini bisa membuat pembaca kehilangan minat. Tapi, hal itu enggak terlalu membuatku sebal karena si protagonis bukan salah lihat dan ternyata cuma mimpi.
Dari mimpi kelewat mengerikan Dustin, kukira dia bakal menjadi tipe protagonis lain yang super paranoid di sepanjang cerita dan ternyata di halaman berikutnya bukan itu yang dilihatnya. Tapi, ternyata rasa takut dan penglihatannya normal-normal saja, jadi hal itu membuatnya tidak menjengkelkan.
Sepertinya, istilah psikolog anak belum tenar pada tahun diciptakannya novel ini, ya. Atau kuanggap begitu saja karena orangtua Dustin jelas-jelas tahu bahwa anak mereka mempunyai masalah dengan "selalu mimpi buruk tentang apa pun dan sangat seram", tapi malah dipaksa masuk ke kamp dengan judul bernuansa horor pula.
Aku benar-benar suka pembawaan suasana gelap di sini. Misterius, dibuat bertanya-tanya, dan unsettling. Pertama-tama diperlakukan dengan sangat baik, lalu lama-lama disudutkan. Ada hal-hal tak masuk akal yang dilihatnya dan ternyata memang benar. Aku senang karena judul kampnya menjebakku. Kukira musuh utamanya bakal apa, eh, ternyata malah apa.
Ending-nya kali ini membuatku benar-benar merasa kalau penulisnya sengaja ingin membuat jengkel pembacanya. Padahal, secara keseluruhan ceritanya, suasananya sesuai dengan keinginanku banget dan hampir membuatku ingin memberikan nilai empat bintang. Tapi, ending-nya seperti hampir mematahkan hatiku.
Awalnya, aku bisa mengabaikan kelemahan-kelemahan di novel ini karena memang seasyik itu. Tapi, berkat ending itu, aku dibuat berpikir kira-kira nasib Dustin bakal bagaimana. Permasalahannya dengan Ari, adiknya, dan orang-orang di kamp juga belum terselesaikan.
Ada tiga cara yang kupikirkan, yaitu:
1. Kemungkinan besar si antagonis adalah tipe pembohong akut, jadi dia juga berbohong soal adanya jalan raya di seberang sungai. Alhasil, Dustin memang berakhir tersesat di pilihan ini.
2. Monster tangan tidak sama dengan arwah yang ingin beristirahat dengan tenang, jadi kemungkinan besar monster tangan enggak ikut menghilang ketika para hantu menghilang. Dustin pun enggak bisa balik menyeberangi sungai karena masih ada monster sementara batang pohonnya patah.
3. Ketika sebagian peserta yang merupakan hantu mendadak menghilang, seharusnya para manusia di kamp itu sadar kalau Dustin berhasil mengalahkan musuh. Adiknya juga pasti bertanya-tanya. Setelah menemukan keberadaannya, mereka pun bisa menolong dengan memberikan batang pohon lain supaya Dustin bisa menyeberang lagi.
Pertanyaan:
1. Omong-omong, ada apa dengan sungai itu sampai-sampai ada tiga makhluk supernatural berkaitan dengannya? Entah kenapa Si Pemangsa ingin membunuh manusia di sungai; arwah penasaran harus meminta manusia menyeberangi sungai itu dengan selamat supaya mereka bisa beristirahat dengan tenang; dan monster tangan akan membunuh siapa saja yang lewat di sana. Di halaman 101, si antagonis sudah menceburkan diri ke sungai, tapi kenapa pas itu monster-monsternya enggak menyerangnya?
2. Kenapa para hantu mengira "Ari" sudah langsung tahu tugasnya padahal enggak diberi tahu apa-apa? Sementara gerak-gerik Ari pas itu menunjukkan kalau dia juga masih belum tahu.

I ordered this book on Amazon because, as far as I know, it's the follow-up to 'Ghost Camp;' number 45 in the original Goosebumps Series. It sort of seems to be. In the first one, we had Harry and his brother Alex. However, in this one, we have Dustin and his brother Logan. In the first one, it was called 'Camp Spirit Moon,' but in this one, the campers are separated into two categories: 'Camp Full Mooners' and 'Camp New Mooners.' It was Uncle Marv in the first, and it's Uncle Lou in this one. Also, I'm not sure how this is a return when there are new characters and none of the original. I must admit to some confusion.
Dustin is the last person to make the list for the 4 week camp list, while his brother Logan is on the two week. Meaning Dustin goes for four weeks and Logan goes for two.
On the bus ride, Dustin meets Ari. A guy who wants to switch identities with him so they can mess with the camp counselors. Dustin agrees, they arrive with their swapped identities, and no one is any the wiser. Unfortunately for the real Ari, Dustin gets Ari's place in the Apache cabin; the best one on the grounds. The real Ari gets Dustin's place in the Cherokee cabin; a run down, bed bug and flea infested living quarter.
The second Dustin tells 'Uncle' Lou that he's Ari, he is suddenly the most popular kid in the camp. Later at the campfire, Lou tells the campers the store about The Snatcher. After a bit, the real Dustin wants to switch back with Ari, but finds himself in a situation where no one believes he's not Ari.
Despite my confusion, this turned out to be a really good sequel. Idk. Maybe after the end of 'Ghost Camp' everything changed?

I love Goosebumps, and this installment has a pretty good story to it. However, there were quite a bit of plot holes in Return to Ghost Camp that were not resolved at the end of the book. It almost feels like it ended too quickly, and there was not enough time given to wrap up the story.
Also, the phrase "-and gasped!" was pervasive throughout the novel, and it was said too many times. Every time the main character, Dustin, reacted to something, it ended in a "-and gasped!" Here are some examples:
"Glanced to the side- and gasped!"
"I raised my eyes- and gasped!"
"I followed his glance- and gasped!"
"Glanced up at the driver- and gasped!"
As you can see in this small sampling of "-and gasped," it occurs way too frequently, and this issue could have been solved with a quick "glance" in the thesaurus. 😉
Overall, for a children's novel, it isn't bad, but from what I remember in past Goosebumps installments, this one is probably the worst I have read so far. Maybe they were all this bad, and I was just too young to notice back then, haha. A solid 2-stars from me!

Fatoni Maraton Goosebumps Series 2000
Buku 19 dari 25
Dustin pergi ke Full Moon Camp musim panas ini--ini adalah camp yang sama dengan yang di Ghost Camp di seri original. Saat sampai di sana, dia mendapat perlakuan yang istimewa karena ternyata dia adalah Si Terpilih. Apa itu? Terpilih sebagai apa? Ternyata, dia adalah Si Terpilih untuk menjadi tumbal tahun ini.
Aku bersyukur ini bukan jenis cerita camp Goosebumps yang isinya cheap scare kayak di Fright Camp sebelumnya. Ceritanya lebih menitikberatkan ke misteri dan hal-hal aneh yang terjadi. Walaupun monsternya tidak terlalu menarik, tapi ceritanya cukup utuh. Lumayan suka.

my final camp book for this year and am not fully satisfied
I would have liked that this book had anything to do with the events of the first part, but it is not completely related to it.
You can expect many events in this book like the first book , but the atmosphere here was not the best and was not bad either, The characters were good and you can immerse yourself with them
what i didnt liked was the cliffhanger ending And also plot holes were not resolved.
.the book is not bad But when you read it, don't expect much.
(VERDICT: 6.3/10)

This book is not a direct sequel to the original Ghost Camp it’s more of a standalone. Although I prefer the original Ghost Camp this was still a fun, spooky read. There were some eerie, ghostly scenes that were creepy. I would have like this book better if the ending would have been different and not too rush.
December 15, 2023
The book isn’t five stars but it’s damn close, so I rounded it up to five. 9.5/10. One of the best Series 2000 books. Only issues is that it wasn’t a true sequel but I honestly don’t think I would’ve liked a Ghost Camp 2.
September 10, 2024
I, er, huh. No connection to the previous Ghost Camp title, besides a camp as the setting, and a disconnected series of events. These books can get loose with plot but they need to make it up with more outrageous happenings.
April 5, 2025
I really liked the plot, but it's frustrating that the image on the cover never happens, and this is flat out not a sequel to Ghost Camp. I just don't understand the logic of titling the book Return to Ghost Camp and making no effort ro connect the stories.
December 9, 2017
j'ai apprécié l'intrigue principale mais j'ai trouvé que l'auteur a conclu beaucoup trop vite en laissant beaucoup questions sans réponse.

Most Goosebumps books have sudden twists, and "Return To Ghost Camp" was no exception in this case.
December 12, 2023
The book was very dark and AMAZING. The twists were shocking, too.

Simpatico!

Despite the fact that it's not a direct sequel to Ghost Camp, Return to Ghost Camp is still an incredible book. The Snatcher is a great villain and the climax is incredible. 10/10

I don’t know wether to put this as 4 or 5 stars, if I could I would give it 4.5 stars ⭐️. If it wasn’t for the ending I would have gave this book 5 stars, but the lameness of the ending slightly brings it down. The villain is defeated by tickling, and then when she is defeated, the main character is just left standing there, and the book ends. It would have been satisfying if he had some triumph but whatever. Other than that this book was amazing. It was similar to the original OG62 book but set at a different camp, which some people don’t like, but in my opinion it’s perfect. It makes it to the book isn’t just an exact copy but with different kids *cough cough* night of the living dummy *cough cough*. I really liked the start of the book, with the dream sequence, this guaranteed that Stine would not just pull the dream sequence card whenever something bad happened to the main character. And the start introduced some characters thats would come in the book later, such as Logan. Dustin’s little brother. The dream sequence also set the stage for the horror you will read in the book, with all the creepy bus driver stuff. The pay phone scene is a classic in every camp book, the main character try’s to call home, and then the camp councillor stops him, but in this books case a kid stoped the main character. I thought the name switch thing that happened at the start of the book was kinda dumb at first but then it set up the stuff with the snatcher which I thought was really cool so bravo RLStine. My only problem with it is that the mystery was explained at only around 40 pages in, which ruined the suspense. I thought there was going to be some stuff like in creature teacher the final exam where the kids have to complete challeges to not be eaten but Stine did not take that approach.
Stay tuned for a review on my YouTube channel. Also I rounded it up to a 5 because that’s what basic math says to do.
