    Was at Camp Buckwood last summer to film over in Bloomington on my bike. Stayed 4 days in the cabin by the Lake. Loved my heated outdoor shower! This was in the heat of July. Lots to do around the area especially Nashville, IN. Great town with basic shopping. IU Campus and Bloomington only 30 minutes away. And the new Bunk house was a good time. Come to the southwest gents and do some reviews!

    When you're talking about the "vibe" of the campground, you might say whether it's clothing optional and any restrictions on that. Also one of the biggest differences in gay "resort" places, including campgrounds is what is sometimes called the "sexual temperature," meaning how "cruisey" it is.

    • @FullTimeGays
      @FullTimeGays  3 года назад

      Great idea, but very tricky territory with RUclips rules and regulations. Talking or even insinuating certain "delicate" topics could get us flagged.

    • @FullTimeGays
      @FullTimeGays  4 года назад

      I'm not sure what your level of knowledge is about RVs, but there are several kinds. You have pop-up trailers, travel trailers, which are pulled on a ball behind your vehicle, fifth wheels, which are pulled by a pin box that sits in the bed of your truck, and then motorhomes, which are motorized (think big busses). I'd start your search with a youtube video that goes over each kind of RV and then do a search for "how to choose a ". Hope this helps! Best of luck you!

      Yes! We are going to do a comprehensive gay campground cost analysis. We also would like to interview you, Him, amd Rigo... amd we'd love to do a "behind the scenes" type of video on what goes into running a campground, or at least what goes into putting on an event weekend. Perhaps we can chat.

    Hi Full Time Gays, what do you do for two weeks besides only working? how or why do you pick to stay at certain campgrounds. What hours are you available for curve side pick up :)

    • @FullTimeGays
      @FullTimeGays  4 года назад +1

      Ha! We wondered how many comments we would get on that shirt!
      We work regular business hours, so when we're not working we're out socializing, getting footage for our video, or if it's particularly slow during the week, for example, we just do typical evening things like watch TV or read a book (well, David does, Eddie doesn't like reading books). In addition, these videos take a LONG time to edit. David does that bit, and prior to launching the channel never did anything relating to video editing, so there's been a hugely steep (and time consuming) learning curve. On average, it is taking him 1-2 hours of editing for every 1 minute of finished video. Most of that is from learning new tricks... as he tries to "up his game" in each video over the previous one.
      The way we pick campgrounds is largely how this channel got started. David does most of the planning. In calling campgrounds, he found himself asking variations of the 4 criteria we rate on. Internet and Big Rig Friendliness are total deal breakers for us since we have to get there and have to be able to work. Each trip usually begins with a goal, such as making it to Michigan to visit family. Next summer it will be to cover all of the New England states, so getting to Maine is an objective. Then it's a matter of finding gay campgrounds within (ideally) a one day drive from the previous one somewhat along our route towards or from our objective .The toughest part is ensuring availability, as one kink in the plan has a domino effect on all the others. This trip, for example, we were supposed to start at SIRenity Farms, then Buckwood, then MI, then Freedom Valley (in other words, a clockwise circle). Freedom Valley was booked for Labor Day and so were the two places before and after. Our solution? We reversed the trip. Now week 4 (Labor Day) fell to Sugar Creek, which DID have availability. The downside is that we found ourselves further up north later into the season, so the weather was colder in Oct than if we were down to the Southeast, but that was fun, too... esp the fall colors.
      Hope this answers your questions :)

      And yes, tilt is absolutely a concern. I know when you're driving your semi, you don't have to typically worry about that because you're almost always on flat roads, but yes!

    I went to Buckwood last summer. And I loved it! Who knew southern Indiana was so hilly and beautiful.
    The roads there are certainly tricky, even for someone in a car. But, once you find it, it is a great place, and very cool and pretty setting.
    I love that the tenting areas are so woodsy, and lots of trails to explore. Plus their hot tub is huge and open 24/7.
    The only downside was the distance to shopping. But, everything else was great.
    It was pretty much sold out when I was there, so there were tons of guys, and lots of bearded furries. As it was bear weekend. Some really gorgeous men.
    If it was not so far away, I would probably be there every weekend.
    If the campground added a store. Like other camps have. It would be perfect.
