Welcome to Starlite Lodge — a warm, inclusive gay camping community where everyone can relax, connect, and feel truly at home. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to make lasting memories with friends, family, or your partner.

Located just minutes from Pisgah National Forest’s waterfalls and hiking trails — and a scenic drive from Blowing Rock — Starlite is the perfect mix of peaceful nature and vibrant community. Lounge by the pool, stroll around the lake, or enjoy a laid-back afternoon by the river at one of our popular Van Life sites.

Choose from a variety of accommodations, including cozy tiny homes, RV sites, tent sites, and even a charming 1959 Serro Scotty vintage trailer named “Miss Molly.”

Our lodge is a favorite gathering place, and our calendar is full of fun community events that bring guests together. If you fall in love with the lifestyle, you can even purchase a park model and make Starlite your home.

At Starlite Lodge, you’ll find more than just a place to camp — you’ll discover a supportive community, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to be yourself.
