Gay Nomads
The Gay Nomads are a new community group created for like-minded people who enjoy caravanning and camping.
Playing on the term “grey nomads”— older and/or retired people who go caravanning and camping—the Gay Nomads are all ages, genders and hair colours.
“Grey Nomads” are a significant goal for state tourism bodies and the Gay Nomads could prove just as valuable to regional tourism.
The group aims to develop the first dedicated Lgbtq+ and Lesbian Chapter organization in the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia (CMCA).
Gay Nomads have both vintage and modern caravans, as well as motorhomes and camper trailers. Currently, group membership is predominantly from New South Wales and Victoria but the group aims to increase to a nationwide reach.
Co-founder for Gay Nomads Lynne Hocking said, “LGBTI+ people, often perceived by the wider community as inner-city urban creatures, are in fact very much drawn to the beauty and freedom of Australia’s excellent outdoors.”

Gay nomads drum up support
A small group of like-minded travellers is hoping to raise the nationwide profile of those in the LGBTI+ community who adore caravanning and camping.
The so-called Gay Nomads have up until now operated on a more ad hoc basis, regularly getting together at 'Gay Pride' events along the east coast like the annual ChillOut Festival at Daylesford in Victoria.
But Gay Nomads co-founder Lynne Hocking is hoping to create a more formal structure for the group and attract fresh members from around Australia. A member of the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, she is hoping a new chapter for ‘gay nomads’ can be formed within the CMCA,which is Australia’s largest RV club and already caters for various sub-groups including solo travellers.
“There’s now 40 of us between Victoria and New South Wales that regularly go away,” explained Hocking, who spends around half the year travelling in her Winnebago Esperance motorhome.
She says the Gay Nomads have already attracted some industry sustain , with a ‘pop-up’ caravan park planned for next year’s Mardi Gras Impartial Day, to be supported by the NSW Caravan & Camping Industry Association. The Fair
