Join The Bears of Binghamton at MY ♥ BELONGS TO DADDY, our first ever camping weekend, happening June 15 at Brookhollow Retreat in Deposit, NY. 

What better way to celebrate Father's Day weekend than with a bunch of hot daddies?

Brookhollow Retreat is NY State's newest all-male campground, located just a half-hour east of Binghamton in the ♥ of the beautiful Catskill Mountains. Located on 370 private, wooded acres, this clothing-optional campground offers a variety of spacious, stream-side permanent camping sites as well as deep-woods tent camping. There's a pond for skinny-dipping, miles of logging trails for hiking, volleyball, lawn games and outdoor showers. 

We will kick off the weekend with a charity DADDYBEAR WASH at 2PM, hosted by Mr. New York State Bear 2013 Chris Thornton. Donate $10 to scrub down a hot Bear: you choose from our line-up of beautiful, beefy men. Choose your favorite... or be generous and wash 'em all! All proceeds from our wet-n-wild Daddybear Wash will benefit the American ♥ Association.

At 5PM, dinner is served! Our PIG ROAST, catered by gay-owned Butterfield's Cafe in nearby Deposit, features pork, hamburgers, hotdogs, sides, soda, and beer (all-you-care-to-eat/drink).

The party continues all night long with an old-fashioned BONFIRE at 9PM. Greet friends old and new while enjoying a brilliant evening of warm fur, fire, and lightning bugs too. Gather 'round under the stars as the flames leap high and light up the night!

Brookhollow offers many options for joining in the fun. A Saturday day-pass (10AM Saturday 'til 3AM Sunday morning) including all events, food, soda & beer is $30 in advance, $35 at the gate. If you wish to camp, a $75 full-weekend pass includes camping both Friday and Saturday nights. The day-pass and weekend-pass both include a one-year membership at Brookhollow. Options for camping for one night only are also available; contact Brookhollow (info@brookhollow.com) for details. If camping isn't your thing, there are hotels in the area that are just a short drive to Brookhollow. Nearby Deposit also offers grocery stores, shops for other supplies, and restaurants, including gay-owned Butterfield's Cafe.

Campsites at Brookhollow are rustic--no cabins--so if you're spending the night, don't forget to bring your tent and other camping gear. There are outdoor showers on the premises. The campground is clothing-optional, and you can of course bring your own alcohol. You must be 21+ to enter the campground.
