Camden, Arkansas
Volunteer-run, clothing-optional men's campground in south Arkansas with cabins, B&B rooms and a 24-hour pool
Boar's Rut is a volunteer-run, non-profit men's campground outside Camden in south Arkansas, about 90 miles south of Little Rock. Its stated mission is to help the gay community in the rural South, and it welcomes gay, straight, bi and trans men of all shapes, sizes and colors. It is clothing optional with one plainly worded rule: if you can see the entrance or the street, do not be naked. Sexual activity is not allowed in the pool, hot tub, showers or common areas, and firearms are not allowed on the property. Yearly membership is $25 and a day pass is $20, valid from 9 AM to midnight. Camping is on tent sites, electric tent sites and 30/50-amp RV sites; indoors there are king and queen cabins with names like the Swine Suite and the Pig Pen, a five-bed bunkhouse and B&B rooms in the Rut House. Posted weekend rates are $40 for a primitive site, $50 for an electric tent site, $60 for a full-hookup RV site, $100 to $120 for cabins, $50 for the bunkhouse and $130 to $170 for Rut House rooms, with weekdays $10 to $20 less; each reservation covers two people and extra guests are $20 a day. Bookings run through Campspot. The pool and hot tub are open 24 hours, and there is a shower house with private stalls, the Barn and free Wi-Fi. The site notes construction upgrades to meet state code. The autumn 2026 calendar ran a Pup Play weekend, a work weekend, a drag show, a Lumberjack weekend, Halloween, a Renaissance weekend, a first responders and veterans weekend, a Bear Weekend, Friendsgiving and New Year's Eve. Dogs are welcome on a leash or contained at your site.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

Caribbean law has changed fast since 2022, in both directions. Here is the current legal picture island by island, the places that are easy to book, the ones that take judgment, the ones still criminalizing gay sex, and where a cruise makes more sense than a stay.

Dedicated LGBTQ+ retirement communities are rare, and at least one that still shows up in older articles has closed. We checked each one against its own website in October 2026. Here is what is actually open, what it costs where prices are published, and how to vet a mainstream community.
