Sun, Fun and Men
Friday was a busy day at the campground getting all the campers checked in, the newbies shown around. The weather has been absolutely beautiful: the sun has been shining and mild temperatures. The guys got their tents set up, had a few cocktails and got to meet some new friends. Last night my lover and I threw a big cocktail party on the hill by our cabin which was decorated like a disco on acid. The party lasted a couple of hours until the men stumbled down the hill to find a midnight snack to play with.
Today has been wonderful also. The guys are lounging around, some are playing the games we have scheduled, the sun is shining; it's a great day to be in the woods!

The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday night show known throughout Texas as the "best drag show in Cameron" however Cameron has the ugliest women in Texas.The campers are very friendly and socializing, cruising and hiking are some but not all of the favorite activities.

PWA CampoutCampers Perspective
Located in the center of the DFW/Houston/San Antonio triangle. Free camping weekend for HIV+ with a limited income. Food, drink and campsite provided.The Texas Conference of Clubs owns and operates a private 35-plus acre campground outside of Cameron, Texas. Cameron is located in central Texas about 80 miles northeast of Austin and 35 miles east of Temple. The conference is composed of GLBT member clubs, community organizations and independent members throughout Texas. Some of these clubs are bear, leather, nudist, bar, service and social groups. There is a variety of "runs" held on weekends throughout the year and some "unruns" that are cheaper but do not provide meals. There is regular camping too.For 10 years in May and September, the conference sponsors a Lady Victory Lust/PWA Campout for gay HIV+ men. It runs from Friday noon to Sunday noon (Gay Standard Time). Most gay men do not "rough it" at least when it comes to camping and this is no exception. It's more like being in a gay bar because there is more camp then camping. Six meals are provided along with campsite, toilets, hot/cold water showers and electricity. A wading pool is good for skinny-dipping with 25 of your closest friends and a leathermen's playground for those that like the wild side. Being a hopeful romantic, I prefer the hammock to a sling.Bring a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillows, flashlight, sun screen and bug spray. A radio, fan and long extension cord would be helpful. A pink flamingo or a personal artistic touch is always welcomed. Some tents and air mattresses are on hand, so ask. A bunkhouse is available to those with special physical needs. The campers are very friendly and socializing, cruising and hiking are some but not all of the favorite activities. Alcohol is allowed. Beer is included with various groups holding cocktail parties at various times of the day. Clothing is optional and fun is encouraged. The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday night show known throughout Texas as the "best drag show in Cameron" however Cameron has the ugliest women in Texas. There are just limits to what makeup and alcohol can do. After the show, the campers display their vocal talents with karaoke. The most important of the few rules is "What happens in Cameron, stays in Cameron".The cost of the LVL/PWA Campout is free to HIV+ gay men on a limited income or $25 for those who are working. No membership is required and HIV- lovers are welcome to attend. You will need to arrange your own transportation. An application can be found on the TCC web site. Send it in at least a month before because space is limited. In May 2004, there were about 120 guys from Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the rest of Texas. Additional information and directions will be provided with confirmation of your reservation.Sponsored by Texas Conference of Clubs.
