ABOUT THE EVENT:

Every Year a group of brave and hearty bears set off on a trek to the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania, to a place where their most primal urges can be unleashed.
That place is Hillside Campground and this year’s annual trek begins
Friday May, 28 and ends on Monday, May 31.


Remember… anything can happen in the woods!


Hillside Campground is a private, members only campground for adult, gay men. It is located about ½ hour north of Scranton, Pennsylvania off Rt. 81 in Gibson, PA.


Amenities include 100+ camp-sites, a heated inground swimming pool, “nature walk”, and Friday/Saturday/Sunday bon-fires by the recreation hall. Clothing is optional.


WHAT THE PACKAGE INCLUDES:

  • Your reservation with us on Site 60 (the community site)

WEEKEND AT A GLANCE:

Saturday 2PM: Bear Bash Party! To help kick off the first big party weekend at camp, the Ursamen are throwing an afternoon party at the Rec Hall! Hot bears, cold beer, great food, music, and a 50/50 to benefit the camp's Helping Hand Fund.

Saturday 9PM: Wizard of Hillside Party! Our neighbors at Cumalot are throwing another one of their "over the top" parties. This year's theme is based on everybody's favorite gay movie! Everyone is encouraged to come in Oz-related costume so have fun with this!!
