Our Story

It all started in the summer of 2019. We were both camping on our own—often at Campit—but hadn’t met yet. That changed thanks to a friend named Freddy, who Adam met during a late‐night boat cruise out of Sidetrack. When Freddy posted to Instagram that he was heading to Campit’s Mardi Gras weekend, Adam replied to let him know he’d be there too.

That weekend, Freddy introduced Adam to Jason (and Jason’s partner, Andrew), and from there, the connection stuck. The 2019 season wrapped, but we stayed in touch. When summer 2020 came and camping became a pandemic-friendly escape, we started doing weekend trips together — including one to a gay campground in Indiana.

At the time, Jason had a tiny Palomino truck camper that barely fit us, but we made it work. That fall, over beers at darts league, the idea came up: “Should we go seasonal next year at Campit?” And just like that, Site 71 was born.

For the 2021 and 2022 seasons, that tiny camper became our home base — just enough to squeeze us all in and build a rhythm.

By 2023, it was time to stretch out a bit. We upgraded to a 33' Forest River camper — technically able to sleep 10, but realistically perfect for 6 or 7. It gave us the space to spread out, host bigger weekends, and embrace camp life more fully through 2024.

And now? We’re entering the 2025 season with our biggest glow-up yet — a brand-new 36' Coachmen Catalina Legacy Edition camper. We haven’t even finished unpacking, but we’re ready to roll.

Site 71 is more than a campsite — it’s home base. We’ve got WiFi, A/C, a dartboard (seasonal league representation included), and a hot tub that’s always open. We lean into Campit’s themed weekends, host our own glow and underwear parties, and sometimes co-host the Friday cocktail crawl.
