What’s Up in Gay Camping This Week? Aug 19-21, 2022

You can always go to a gay campground anytime and have a blast. There are always great people around to meet, places to wander and explore, and everything else that you would expect from a campground or LGBT resort.

Here’s a taste of what’s happening this week in gay camping! Most gay campgrounds have theme weekends and parties to accompany them. You can choose to go camping and not partake in any parties. We suggest not taking the theme too literally – unless you want to!

Which theme weekend should you choose? Themes only define the activities, but don’t define the people who will be there. You’ll have a great time no matter what which you choose!

Here’s what’s up this weekend in gay camping:

The River’s Edge

Jock Jalk In A Jock – This week in gay camping

Georgia, 110 miles from Atlanta and 160 miles from Columbia, SC

The River’s Edge welcomes campers 21+ in tents, RVs, and rental cabins to Jock Jalk In A Jock Weekend.

Jock (that would be you even if you don’t think you are)
Jalk (jog + walk around the trails and roads) 
In A Jock (well you can certainly wear more)

Everyone can check “Jock” on their profile this weekend!

Get ready to jog and walk, or Jalk, a 5k around the various roads and trails of this friendly gay campground about 90 minutes East of Atlanta. Of course, you can also run the course if you’re feeling athletically ambitious or stand back and cheer on all the sweaty men. There are great views from both front and behind!

When you arrive, leisurely Walk The Course at 5pm before the Weekly Meet & Greet at 8pm on Friday night.

Then on Saturday, The Big Jalk Event is at 10am! If you want to prep even more or missed the previous night’s walkthrough, you can Walk The Course While Direction Signs Are Being Placed at 8am. Afterward, water, bananas & a Finisher Medal Ceremony!

You are also welcome to take it down a notch with the monthly Sip and Sew. Hosted by Marion and Dave, bring a beverage and your favorite sewing project, or just drop by the clubhouse to visit and learn every third Saturday of the month.

Gay Naturists International

The Gathering – This Week in Gay Camping

Stroudsberg, PA (In the Poconos, convenient to NYC, The Woods, and Camp OUT Mt Nebo)

This weekend marks the opening of the two-week Gay Naturists International annual gathering!

This isn’t a gay campground like the rest of what we usually share, but rather an annual camping-style meeting for all members of Gay Naturists International. Also, unlike many gay campgrounds which are clothing-optional, this is a nudist-oriented event. You don’t have to take all your clothes off, of course, but the vibe will heavily towards an entirely naked event.

This week in gay camping, you can stay in one of the 70+ cabins that house 8-10 men each or bring your own tent or RV. There are no power, water, or sewer hookups, though, so this is boondocking-style.

There will be chartered busses from near Grand Central Station in NYC as well as Newark International Airport. Alternatively, you can rent a car or take a bus from Port Authority to Stroudsburg and hop in a quick taxi/rideshare to the event.

Once there, you can kayak, play tennis or volleyball, join the GNI Men’s Chorus, work out in the gym or read and meditate in the shade of the tree. There are also two heated pools, karaoke and bingo.

The workshops, classes, and discussions will range from musical theater to massage basics, from family matters to fetish and kick. You can even volunteer to give a class in something you love!

You’ll vote for Mr. GNI, Mr. GNI Leather, Bare Bear, and Miss Lace while enjoying nightly performances, movie nights, and singalongs.

There’s too much for us to include in this recap of this major international gay naturists event, so check out the site for all the info.
