  • Our scored review of Campit Outdoor Resort, an LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) campground/resort just outside of Saugatuck, Michigan. Opened in 1982, this campground has been a mainstay for the LGBT community through some of our most trying challenges... and triumphs. This is our 4th stop of our 13 LGBT campground 2021 review tour! We were there from June 27 till July 5, 2021.
    Our scored campground reviews rate gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender oriented campgrounds on the following important features so that you can be prepared and make informed decisions (on a scale of 1-10):
    *Big Rig Friendliness - how easy is it to get to and navigate within the park?
    *Grounds and Facilities - what kinds of amenities does the campground have (or not), and what are they like?
    *The Vibe - our (totally subjective) take on the ambiance and camp-culture
    *Internet Availability - Is there enough Internet via cell hot spots or campground WiFi to do more than scroll Twitter or Facebook?
    And NEW in 2021, we also spend some time at the end of the video talking about the nearby amenities such as stores, restaurants and points of interest.
    Please like, subscribe, comment, and click the bell to get alerts when we post new videos! Please also consider sharing this with your personal networks to help us get our name out there! We do this out of love for the gay camping lifestyle and community, not to make money. It's a HUGE lift for us, so a quick share from you is most appreciated! :)
    Let us know what other campgrounds you'd like to see reviewed, along with any topics relating to camping, gay camping, or full-time RV living. When we're not traveling, we would like to continue to produce content that you find valuable!

    I remember so many hot sweaty summer nights there in the late 80s and 90s, the trails, the farm parties and of course the dunes rooms ... love the video.

      Thanks! Sadly, it wasn't on our radar back then... tho us being in elementary school back then probably wouldn't have helped 😀

    Good fair review. Lived 3 summers in a big rig in Central Park.
    Go back during a slower weekend. You will find your vibe.
    Campit did have golf cart rentals. Not sure if they still do.
    Our AT&T worked well enough to stream even on big weekends.
    The permanent community is incredible. Great people and a real community.
    My rating would be a bit higher but you guys were fair.
    Safe travels!

      William - thank you so much for this. We never like saying anything even close negative about a gay campground - primarily because there aren't enough of them out there. We love the LGBT camping community, including those that take huge financial risks to bring us great parks. Whenever we do have a critique, we try very hard to justify it. At the end of the day, being fair is the best compliment we could possibly receive. Again, thank you.

    CAMPIT had some very clean restrooms. I was visiting mid week (Tuesday). The small bunk house private room was only about $30 a night (Much more expensive during weekend). The Staff was very friendly.

    I have been going to Campit since 2016. I have made several friends, some that I now call family. Yes, it is called Eastvillage. Yes, his name is Brian. No, there isn't a hot tub. There are also themed weekends throughout the season that are a lot of fun......p.s. I believe we crossed paths over the 4th of July weekend. 😊

    I have been last year and this year and they built a nice shower house in the Westwood area. I liked it because it has 8 private shower rooms where you can shower and get dressed in private. Sooo nice, sorry you guys missed that
