GLBT Campground

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Camp Lickalotta is a membership organization of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender people and our Allies who value building community and share our love of the outdoors. We organize a variety of fun and exciting camping events thorough out the year. Our main annual event, Bushstock, is a three day music festival and camping weekend. Bushstock ’08 , last May, was a great success and Bushstock ’09 organizing is well underway.

Our members or, Lickalotta’s, as we like to call them, need only follow our simple creed and live our mission by example to….

o Lickalotta Prejudice

o Lickalotta Pollutants

o Lickalotta Pessimism

<[b>Lick: to overcome or defeat, as in a fight, game, or contest.]

There is no denying our name is unusual. It grabbed your attention didn’t it? It is easy to dismiss our mission by focusing solely on our name. Earlier this year the name "Camp Lickalotta" did generate some rather unfriendly attention.

That 'controversy' brought out the worst in some people but, it brought out the best in so many more. We have bounced back stronger, wiser and more resolved than ever to create something special. A place where everyone is welcome, safe and loved. So, to stop at our name is to miss out on a whole lot of, good clean fun with a higher purpose!

My Interests


Camp Lickalotta Founders, Nancy Leedy and Joanie Beasley

At Camp Lickalotta we make sure that all our events are affordable so everyone can participate in our wonderfully divers community. All profits will go toward the eventual purchase of our own campground. Until then, we will be holding the majority of our events at Etowah River Campground in Dahlonega, GA. The people at Etowah are great allies and warmly embraced Camp Lickalotta’s Bushstock ’08 music festival with open arms.We will be holding Bushstock ’09 there as well! If you are in the area, show the great folks at Etowah some love. Be sure to tell them Camp Lickalotta sent you!

It is our intention to have events at LGBT and Ally campgrounds in other parts of the country in the near future. We will post further information as it becomes available.

We are in the process of rebuilding our main website. Until then this is the best place to communicate with us, here on MySpace. So visit us often to keep up on what is happening at Camp Lickalotta.
