About
Connect with nature and each other
Melanated Campout was created by 3 friends who wanted to challenge
their friends to do something different, relaxing, and exciting.
Are you living your best life filled with relaxation and adventure? Do you like the idea of an adult camping weekend campout but cannot see yourself “roughing it”? Are you open to having a weekend where you can connect with nature, camp in style, partake in adventuresome games and activities, as well as party under the stars? Our campers enjoy tent and RV camping, fishing, yoga, empowerment classes, line dancing, field day activities, themed parties, and much more!

testimonials
I had an Amazing time camping! The people were great and so were the activities. I can't wait to come again next year and see my camp cousins!
“Worth every minute of the 15 hour drive! I needed to be at camp and feel all the love and peacefulness. Campout has restored my spirit; can’t wait for the next time.”
I stepped out of my comfort zone and loved it! Sleeping outdoors turned out to be fun. It was my first time camping but won't be my last.
