Open Thursday to Sunday · 9am to 6pm

The beach,
upgraded.

Gay summer camp, all grown up. We set up the chicest beach day in the Pines, anywhere you want on the sand. Premium reclining chairs, coordinated shade, a stocked cooler, and a whole lot of camp.

Reserve. Arrive. Relax.

Three moves. We handle the other forty.

1
Reserve
Pick your date and build your setup online — chairs, shade, and anything you'd rather not carry.
2
Arrive
Step onto the beach to a setup that's already staged, styled, and waiting wherever you selected.
3
Relax
Sink in. We've got the setup, the breakdown, and the sweep. The day is yours, queen.
What's in the kit

Pack light. We've got the rest.

No two beach days are the same, so nothing here is one-size. Start with a chair, add shade, and let us carry whatever you'd rather not.

The basics
Chairs & shade
Premium striped chairs and coordinated umbrellas. As many as your troop needs.
Chairs from $35 / day
The provisions
Essentials Pack
A stocked cooler and Vacation Inc. sunscreen, so you arrive with nothing and want for nothing.
From $50 / setup
The full fantasy
Camp Couture
The essentials, plus ice service, a snack pack and a counselor on call, so the only thing you lift is your drink.
From $125 / setup
Pick your camp

Coming light, rolling deep, or making a whole occasion of it.

Solo Camping is for the camper traveling light. You're here to enjoy the beach with just yourself, or a friend or two in tow, and you want someone else to take care of everything. After all — you've earned it.

Chairs from $35/day · Umbrellas from $30/day

Group Troop is for rolling deep — the share house, the birthday, the whole crew spilling onto the sand. You bring the people; we bring the chairs, the shade, and a cooler that somehow never runs dry. One reservation, zero schlepping, everybody seated.

Some days call for more than a setup. Camp Celebration handles the rest, big or small, beachside or poolside. We organize it all from A to Z: catering, snacks, cake, decorations, and everything in between. You dream it up, we make the day worthy of it.

The Camp Couture upgrade

Your counselor is on call.

Couture adds the one thing a perfect beach day really needs: a person. Yours is on call from the moment you book to the last grain of sand.

Before the day
Plan the extraordinary

Your counselor is available ahead of time to arrange the day-of extras. A massage on the sand, a surprise for your better half, or a catered picnic for the whole troop. Throw us your wildest idea and put us to the test. We like a challenge.

On the sand
Kept effortlessly fresh

While you do absolutely nothing, we keep your camp pristine. We refresh your ice, refill your sunscreen, and reposition your chairs and shade as the sun moves. You will never chase the shade again.

Lunch, delivered
We make the run

Send your order and we will fetch it from the Pantry or Pines Pizza and bring it right to your camp, with no service fee. Food and snacks only. The cocktails, we leave to you.

A personal love letter

Something special, in a special place.

Fire Island Pines has been our refuge. When life got loud, this is where we came to escape the noise and be present with nature and chosen family. It's special beyond words, and it means everything to us.

We started Pines Camp Counsel because we wanted an excuse to be here all the time, and to make a day on the beach a little easier for everyone who loves this place like we do. We're two guys building a queer-owned Fire Island Pines beach rental the way we'd want it: premium reclining chairs, coordinated shade, and a stocked cooler, set up wherever you want on the sand. No fakeness, no quick buck. Just a setup good enough to live up to the Pines.

Certified LGBT Business Enterprise, recognized by the NGLCC
Proudly queer-owned. Pines Camp Counsel is a certified LGBT Business Enterprise, recognized by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
Camp is in session

Camp runs Thursday through Sunday, all summer long. Come spend a day on the sand with us.
