While the communal facilities, including kitchens and showers, are well-maintained, guests should be prepared for the rustic charm of open showers and close-knit yurt arrangements.
I loved tent camping here! The pool was sparkling, morning sauna and jacuzzi and hike were so refreshing. Nice people too, had a great conversation in the communal kitchen with a fellow guest. I’ll be back!
Amazing spot. I’m not a nudist but after staying there I gave it a little shot to see what it was like and I have to say it was pretty freeing. Everyone was super nice and I loved the community aspect.
Groovy, hippie style place… exactly what I needed for my first time being in a clothing optional camp/resort. Tents on wooden platforms made it level although the plywood was rather aged. Tent area was close to hot showers and restrooms as well as a communal kitchen. There are refrigerators, but I would suggest your own cooler. And note that there are no fires at campsites due to wildfire season. (There are many yurts around as well but I didn’t check them out)
Expect casual, easy going staff and residents and well as visitors. Bodies of all sizes, ages and colors… and I didn’t detect any body shaming, gawking or open sexual activity.
Pool was clean and refreshing, hot tub was nice and toasty. The trails above the pool area were magical and a bit rustic: the was a swing at one point, a hammock at another, a labyrinth to walk, and at the outlook a couple of chairs and a bench. I didn’t see any other people on my three hikes on he trails… most folks seems to hand by the pool or the clubhouse.
All in all, a great relaxing weekend… oh and you don’t need to pack much… I was in flip flops and a hat the whole time carrying a small towel.
Lovely camping spot. There were several types to choose from. Ours was in a very beautiful forest. Charles and Charlene were very kind and professional.
It was very welcoming and nice! The yurt we stayed at was very spacious. We also sung Christmas Carols and they had musicians there too! The only thing was we didn’t realize that it was nude optional until we got there but that was my own fault haha
