We're back and better than ever! It's the TENTH ANNUAL Deadbeat Retreat set to go down this summer at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, New York. It's gonna be a jam-packed weekend filled with bikes, booze and bikinis. Join us for a weekend you'll never forget, or never remember!

Ticket Info, Campground Map & More

One camping ticket is valid for one person. This will get you a camping spot for the weekend. Anticipate camping next to and with other Retreaters. Spaces go on a first come first serve basis, but since we'll have the whole campground for the weekend, you'll have plenty of options!

Blackthorne Resort also has hotel rooms and cabins available at an additional cost. If you would like to book a room please contact their office directly (518) 634-2541. Also if you're bringing an RV Camper a hookup for that is an additional fee as well.
