Memorial Day Weekend:  This holiday is the first big party weekend of the summer. Return here as we get nearer this weekend to see all the events.

Friday is the beginning of this busy weekend. Manwood will coordinate the lighting of the Memorial Garden in honor of those Hillsiders who passed before us. This year donations of tall votives are expecially welcome. You may drop them off at Marshall & Shamus′ cabin on Lavender Lane by 1 p.m. or at the Garden beginning at 1:30 p.m. Other items that would be helpful:  flowers, rose petals, novena candles (in glass, any size), stick lighters, tin foil.

The Friday, May 25, schedule:

2 to 3 p.m. -- garden cleanup (rakes & trash bags needed as well as help)

Hillside celebrates 27th
year during 2012 season

HILLSIDE IS A LARGE and, we think, best all-male campground in North America. We take this challenge seriously and continue to make changes and improvements from season to season. The 2012 season, which begins Friday, May 4 at 10 a.m., is our 27th year.

We want Hillside to be an attitude-free environment and with your help we can keep it that way. It is a place where men can be themselves in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Hillside is all about individual rights, respect and caring to the thousands of men who visit the camp each summer. We ask that all Hillsiders help us keep it that way. Yes we must follow some rules because of the size of the property and the community makeup but we have been told they are not unreasonable for such a large camp.

Hillside members must be at least 21 years old. A picture ID showing your birthdate is required when one fills out the membership form.

Located on more than 235 secluded acres with over three miles of walkable roads, visitors can always find something to do. Excellent camping sites exist throughout Hillside with some ideal campsites along the shaded creek that runs through the campground.

If fun-in-the-sun is what you want there are sites on the Landing Strip located almost in the middle of the camp. For those who want to get away there are a few remote sites.

Most sites have water and electric with clean rest rooms nearby, flush toilets, showers and a pure water supply.

For groups there are very large sites that can accommodate groups of 80 or more campers. Also, Hillside has an incredible safe and secure 45-acre play area, isolated from the outside world. It is the largest safe and secure area of its kind on the North American continent!

The camp is clothing optional. A popular place to relax and meet old and new friends is around the in-ground pool where you can swim or just enjoy the sun. The pool's official opening is Memorial Day weekend but if the weather cooperates it's been known to open even sooner than that.

Friday and Saturday nights you can dance at the disco located in the Rec Hall. If dancing is not for you, you can star gaze by the huge bonfire from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. or relax at your site. On show nights the Rec Hall stage is spotlighted to showcase the hidden talents of campers. On show nights the bonfire and disco start at the conclusion of the show.

If you plan to camp at Hillside for a weekend, reservations are a must (note information on reservation page), otherwise you may find we are fully booked. No reservations are needed for day campers.

Sites and rental cabins are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wait too long you might be able to get a site but it may not be the type of site that best suits you.

We look forward to seeing you at Hillside -- your camp away from home.
