About

Melanated Campout is more than just a camping trip—it’s a movement born from the vision of three friends who wanted to create something unique and meaningful. What started as a fun idea between friends has blossomed into an incredible experience that celebrates the beauty of nature and the richness of Black culture.
Founded by three women who share a love for the outdoors and community, Melanated Campout is a Black and women-owned business with a mission to bring people together in a space that feels both safe and exciting. We believe that nature belongs to everyone, and we’re passionate about creating opportunities for people of color to rediscover the joy and peace that comes with spending time outdoors.
At Melanated Campout, we’ve created an atmosphere that’s perfect for those who want to experience the outdoors without having to sacrifice comfort or fun. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or brand new to the experience, this weekend is designed with you in mind. Our event offers a wide range of accommodation options to fit every need, from traditional tents to cozy RVs and even luxury glamping setups. No matter where you rest your head, you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of the Melanated Campout community.
But this isn’t just about camping—it’s about connection. Throughout the weekend, you’ll have the chance to take part in a variety of activities that bring people together. From yoga sessions and empowerment workshops to line dancing, kickball, and glow-in-the-dark parties, there’s something for everyone. Our days are filled with adventure and our nights are spent under the stars, creating moments you’ll remember for a lifetime. Whether you come with friends, family, or on your own, you’ll leave with new connections, new skills, and memories that will last a lifetime.
As a Black-owned business, we understand the importance of community and representation. We’ve designed this event to be a space where Black and Brown people can feel welcomed, celebrated, and free to be themselves. It’s a space where we reclaim our connection to nature, challenge stereotypes, and create new traditions. Every detail, from the activities to the food and even the music, is curated with the culture in mind, making this an experience that feels authentic and familiar.
We also take pride in the fact that Melanated Campout is about more than just fun—it’s about wellness. In addition to our adventurous activities, we offer mindfulness sessions, self-care workshops, and spaces to simply relax and recharge. We believe in the importance of mental, physical, and emotional wellness, and we’ve made it a priority to ensure that our camp provides an environment where everyone can take care of themselves in a meaningful way.
Safety and comfort are at the heart of everything we do. Our campground is fully equipped with 24/7 security, clean restrooms, and all the amenities you need to feel comfortable during your stay. We understand that, for many people, camping may feel outside of their comfort zone—that’s why we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure that your experience is as seamless as possible. Whether you’re navigating your first camping trip or are a seasoned pro, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Melanated Campout isn’t just an event—it’s a community. Over the years, we’ve hosted thousands of campers, each one leaving with their own story to tell. Our campers come from all walks of life—whether you’re single, a couple, or part of a group of friends, there’s a place for you here. Together, we’ve built something special, and we’re excited to share it with you.
So, if you’re looking for a weekend of fun, adventure, and connection, Melanated Campout is the perfect getaway. Come camp with us, explore the outdoors, and be part of a movement that celebrates Black culture, community, and the beauty of nature. We can’t wait to welcome you to the family!
