Roseland gay campground

Roseland is a gay owned and operated resort and campground that caters to gay men ages 21 and over. We're open all year and offer a unique private setting on acres of rolling West Virginia forested hills and meadows. Roseland is an all male, over 21, gay campground on acres. We have Bed and Breakfast style Guestrooms, Deluxe Cabins, Junior Deluxe and Sleeper Cabins, and Tent Sites throughout.

Welcome to Roseland, a campground that is open year-round and has rolling hills and meadows, a big pool and sundeck, food, booze and lots of male fellowship. And a chance to experience an open-bay shower and more of those all-male activities which are now solidly part of the past in this era of gender non-conformity. Truly one of the nicest and friendliest gay camping resorts in the USA. Roseland is unique from other gay campgrounds in the USA due to the fact that it is located on the top of a mountain.

Most of the permanent sites are erected on stilts, on the side of a mountain ridge. Nestled within acres of West Virginia wilderness, sits one of the most popular gay resorts and camping areas in the US. Read a book by the pool or take a nap while swinging in a hammock. Since I moved to Cleveland almost three years ago, I had made a decision to change things in my life.

To start doing things that I may have been more afraid to, before. To work on my body image positivity and feelings of self-worth. My blog was the beginning of the working on being more present, it is a way to share my experiences and views. It has gotten me the opportunity of writing an article about a new bar in Willoughby, OH for Prizm magazine. My blog has also been an outlet for working on my body positivity.

Going places to the able to share them on my blog has also helped. Most recently I had the chance to do something I have never done but wanted to do. Never did it out of personalized fear of the place and situation and for fear of how I would be judged. I say small, but in fact it sets on about acres of land in a West Virginia forest and meadows on top of a mountain. It is gay owned and operated and for gay men ages 21 and up.

The amenities there are amazing, and they have did a considerable amount of upgrading over the last few years. The pool and poolside bar have been recently upgraded and there is also a poolside shop called the Male Pouch. They offer swimwear and gear wear just perfect for your visit at Roseland. So yeah, Bill sent me a text Wednesday, May 22 nd , last week, asking me what I was doing the coming up weekend.

I was taking a small break from going out and maybe wanted to catch a show on Friday night. Him and his husband, Brandon, have been after me to go to a campground with them, knowing I had never been to one.

Yes, my nerves were pumped to a , after all the website boasts that they are a clothing optional resort. I, in fact, hate wearing clothing and do think that the negative stigma we have placed on naked bodies is what creates the self-confidence and body dysmorphic issues we see today. But I tried to stay out of my head, as much as possible, and just be excited for a chance to go camping and be around that many gay men in one place.

That being said, I did pack with the intention of taking as few of bulky clothing as possible. I limited it to swimwear for the pool, should I choose to swim, tank tops, and shorts. As the weekend advertised parties that were as bare as you dare, I did opt for more boxer briefs than shorts to be worn and of course one of my lighter kilts. Outside of being with friends and having a relaxing fun time, I made no preconceived ideas about how the weekend would play out.

Yes, obviously, I did pack items in case some outside change an encounter were to happen. After all it is safer to be prepared and not use it than not have it and need it. Few other essentials, like alcohol, a tent, sunscreen, and bug spray and my packing was done. I met Bill and Brandon about noon on Saturday, we consolidated cars and proceeded to hit the road.

I was still a bit nervous over what to expect, but my excitement for it overwhelmed the insecurities. Music, singing off key, talking about past vacations, and how excited we were to be away from work and home. The last 30 mins of the trip was spent ascending the mountain in a trail of a road.

Places where down to half a lane wide, where the road has started giving away, all thanks to the building of a pipeline and the constant traffic of heavy axle vehicles delivering needed parts. The views only continued to increase and beauty and grandeur as we climbed.
