THIS WEEKEND: POOL PARTY!
It's summer! That means it's all about the pool. So grab a towel, pack a cooler and join the fun in the sun.
SIMPLY GAY CAMPING
SIMPLY GAY CAMPING FOR MEN
That's what Camp Mars is all about. Be yourself. Make new friends. Most of all, get away to a place where you can relax and have fun, with no pretense. That's Camp Mars.
IN A GORGEOUS SETTING
There's a lot here to help you with that! Over 40 acres of some of Florida's most beautiful forest, natural stream and ponds, and grassy fields to soak up the sun.
FILLED WITH FRIENDS AND FUN
But we haven't left out the creature comforts. Enjoy our beautiful, clothing optional pool, fun parties, dances and special events. We've added just enough of what you're used to at a resort without spoiling our natural atmosphere. This is gay Florida camping as it should be. As we like to say...RELAX, YOU'VE LANDED ON MARS
SUPPORTING RAINBOW RAILROAD
LGBT People Are in Danger
Currently, in 69 countries around the world, same-sex intimacy is criminalized and in 14 countries, trans and gender non-conforming people face legal discrimination. This results in simple, yet unacceptable reality: In too many countries, LGBTQI+ people face extreme violence and persecution, solely based on who they are or who they love.
What is Rainbow Railroad?
Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. Rainbow Railroad provides emergency travel support to LGBTQI+ people in immediate danger, as well as additional programming to support individuals' unique needs and circumstances.
Rainbow Railroad received 10,000 requests for help in 2022 and that number is growing. Since its founding, the group has helped over 3,100 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety.
Camp Mars is pleased so support Rainbow Railroad and has made a donation. We encourage our campers and friends to join us in supporting their important work. To do that, use the QR code shown here to donate directly on their website. Thank you.

10 Reasons Why Gay Camping is Loads of Fun
We've been passing on how fun Camp Mars is for years. But now, you don't have to take our word for it. Men's Variety, an online lifestyle hub for men (gay or straight) recently added an article about gay camping and Camp Mars was mentioned:
"But if you want more of a resort type feel, you can scoot over to Venus Florida to Camp Mars! They’ve got rental cabins and trailers galore that are great for singles and couples."
We couldn't agree more. For the rest of the article (it's a good one), click below:
