Is Camp RoundUp still open? Yes.
Camp RoundUp is active as of 2026. Current schedule per the operator: Labor Day weekend 2026 (annual since 2022). Always confirm dates on the official site before booking travel, since adult camps shift venues and weekends more often than kids' camps do.
Among the adult camps we track in Ohio, Camp RoundUp stakes out the women's camps territory. The format is a weekend-length sleepaway, and like every camp in this directory it passes the core test: it is a programmed, sleepover-style camp designed for adults, not a resort weekend wearing a friendship bracelet.
Founded in 2022 by Alison Rampa and Erica Chiseck, Camp RoundUp is an unapologetically pro-fat summer camp for 'ladies and theydies' 21+, covered by NPR for its swim-dance-play-celebrate ethos. Campers stay in retro cabins at Camp O'Bannon outside Columbus and eat classic camp comfort food without diet talk. Demand has outstripped bunks, and 2026 runs over Labor Day weekend.

The experience
Practical picture: the format is weekend sleepaway (3 days / 2 nights, 21+). The weekend format keeps the commitment low: arrive Friday-ish, surrender to the schedule, and be back at your desk with stories by Monday or Tuesday. It is adults-only, which matters more than it sounds. The tone of a camp changes completely when every camper chose to be there for themselves.
Cost
Published pricing: a few hundred USD including cabins and six meals. The operator does not publish a simple rate card, so treat any number you see on third-party sites as a guess and confirm directly. As a rule of thumb for this category, all-inclusive adult camp weekends in North America cluster between $400 and $1,000 once lodging and meals are counted.
Where and when
The venue is in Newark (Camp O'Bannon), Ohio. Here is the current timing picture: Labor Day weekend 2026 (annual since 2022).
