Gay-Owned Adult-Male Campground & RV Park in Western New York
Jones Pond Campground has been a cornerstone of inclusive outdoor hospitality since 1963, when Clifford Jones transformed his family farm into a welcoming retreat. Over decades, the park evolved into a premier destination for LGBTQ+ travelers, redefining its mission in 1991 as a gay-owned, adult-male campground. Our 100-acre property in Western New York combines natural beauty with modern amenities, offering a diverse range of accommodations from full-service tent sites to luxury rentals. With a commitment to fostering community, we host themed weekends and events that celebrate individuality while maintaining rigorous safety standards through secure check-in protocols and property management.Our team draws on generations of experience in hospitality, ensuring every guest enjoys a seamless blend of rustic charm and contemporary comfort. We prioritize transparency in pricing, enforce clear pet policies, and maintain state-of-the-art facilities including a renovated swimming pool and dedicated event spaces. As stewards of this historic land, we balance tradition with innovation, continuously upgrading infrastructure while preserving the legacy of the original Jones family homestead.
