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.

We started the 2021 season with that tiny camper—just enough to sleep three of us (if you squint and stack)—and quickly realized we needed more space. For the 2022–2024 seasons, we leveled up to a 33' Forest River camper, which could technically sleep 10 but comfortably held about 6 or 7.

And now? We’re entering the 2025 season with our biggest glow-up yet — a brand-new 36' Jayco 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.
