Queer Campout aims to be as scent- and chemical-free as possible. This includes but is not limited to personal care products, smoke, bug spray, and cleaning products. Most of the campground is marked as scent-free.

There are multiple Scent Areas around the campground. These areas are designated for the use and application of scented and chemical products. We ask that campers not use or apply scented or chemical products anywhere else in camp unless absolutely necessary.

Why Scent-Free?

Many people have scent and chemical sensitivities. Each person’s sensitivity is different; reactions can range from slight irritation to full anaphylaxis. Inclusivity and accessibility are guiding values of QCO, and we believe that helping ensure the safety and well-being of all campers is a communal responsibility.
