Absolutely amazing! A beautiful place to stay and not have a single worry about weird prejudice or harassment. Tent sites surround shared fire pits and picnic tables, covered by tarps overhead.

Tent sites surround shared fire pits and picnic tables, covered by tarps overhead. On site portable restrooms with handwashing stations were pleasantly clean and tidy. There isn't running water at the tent sites, but that's not an issue for me. Firewood is available on site at a generous price for the volume of fuel you're getting. Everett is a short drive away if you need supplies, and nearby Verlot has a small store in case you forget something. During my July stay the bugs were out in force, so I heavily suggest bringing some competent insect repellent- save yourself a few bites. Some of the tent sites are on the smaller side (not a complaint) so be sure to book a site that states it can accommodate a large tent if you plan on using one. Super well maintained, comfortable trails, an amazing beach on the river (ice cold snow melt- but such an invigorating swim!) Every long term member I ran into was incredibly welcoming and informative. My partners and I will definitely be returning since we're in love with TRC!

It has great sites overlooking the river and is a great place for the lgbt community to commune. It however doesn’t have showers so if you can’t handle being dirty keep that in mind and go to a state park.

Went labor day weekend for festivities and I have not had a better time in a really long time. All the gentlemen were sweethearts, everyone welcomes each other with open arms, helps each other have an awesome time and makes sure everyone enjoys themselves

This is such a nice place to go camping. The events are nice as well. The gay camp grounds have a lot of friendly people that work there and help when they can. From what I have seen they do a lot of work to make sure all the people that come out are happy. My husband, our dog and I always love going out there to just get away from the city and relax for a weekend.
