Camping?

[clocktor]

We took the Shasta to Provincetown for Bear Week.

Not being big party-goers, the non-stop party atmosphere was, well, not us, really.  Still, it was relaxing and relatively entertaining for a couple of old farts.

I don't know that we'll go again, though, as it was pretty much the same deal this year as last year, only without the newness.

Not only

Two humanoids of any gender combo is less suspicious than a single middle-aged guy alone, which has been me a number of times. EldestSister got seriously weirded out by the fact that there was a single guy camping next to us, and I had to tell her "That's your brother on numerous weekends"

I have also observed the ven overlap of RVers with red-state attitudes (and the fact that hardly anybody who lives around us seems to be into it) and so I completely hear where you're coming from. I think you have to be conscious of that everywhere these days and I know it takes away from the enjoyment.

One thing you might consider is focusing more on places that lend themselves to tent camping vs giant RVs. Tenters tend to be at least a little bluer in my observation. There are also LGBT-specific campgrounds which would mitigate at least the fear factor if not rule out unpleasant political conversations around the pool.

i hope you'll stick it out and find your niche. I'd hate to see you do all this work and then end up walking away from the

I was hoping you would comment.

I would like very much to find specifically LGBT-friendly campgrounds to patronize; so far my searching around the Internet has produced few results.

I would like to stay in the hobby. I can’t help but think that not for the current political climate, I would not be so filled with trepidation.

Thank you for your input. I will definitely include tent-oriented campgrounds in my consideration!

You surprise me. A lot of well to do people go caravanning here. It might be a case of being more discerning in your choice of campground? Or is there a club you can join - Camp Campers, or somesuch?

With you guys in CT and @wantedonvoyage in NJ, I wonder you all don't rendevous somewhere midway.

This may swing too far in the other direction for you, but have you considered a place like Hillside Campground in Gibson PA? https://hillside.camp/ It is strictly Gay, men only, and clothing optional.
I have been there only once, about 15 years ago, but definitely enjoyed it, (twice ...*wink, wink*). They have different themes for each weekend over the summer, and a nice pool.

I know exactly what you mean about low-level discomfort. Even though I drive a macho-looking rusty Ram pickup, I sometimes catch some flack for my bumper sticker that reads: "Unfit to Serve, Impeach Trump".
