Whatever type of recreation or getaway your family is looking for, there is a nudist destination for you. There are family clubs, campgrounds, beaches, and resorts throughout the country where you can enjoy everything from a clothing-free evening away to an complete nudist vacation.
Clubs, parks and resorts are three popular kinds of nudist destinations. Each varies in the form of experience it provides, but each one should provide your family with the safe, wholesome environment you deserve. Which type of destination you choose will depend upon what type of experience you are looking for.
There are two types of nudist clubs, travel clubs and landed clubs. Travel clubs are those that do not own or lease land of their own. Their nudist activities may include renting a local recreation center one night a month, organizing sailing trips at a nearby lake, or hosting Super Bowl parties at a member’s house. Landed clubs may offer some of the same activities, but they have the added benefit of owning and maintaining the club’s facilities. As a result, landed clubs may offer a larger variety of activities to their members.
Nudist parks, often owned or operated by clubs, can provide your family with a great offering of outdoor activities. Many parks have spaces for tents and RVs and some also offer rooms or cabins for overnight stays. Parks allow you and your family to enjoy a relaxed, natural setting while still having access to amenities such as shower and toilet facilities, swimming pools, recreation areas, and snack bars. Some parks also have indoor activity facilities and heated pools for year-round use.
If you are looking for a destination with even more options, there is a large selection of family nudist resorts that range from smaller campground-sized facilities to huge, full-service resorts. In addition to swimming pools or beaches, many resorts offer a variety of activities for all members of the family. Some resorts even have on-site gyms, spas and restaurants.
Finally, there are a number of travel agents who specialize in nude travel. These agents will be able to answer your questions regarding all the details of travel in general and, more specifically, nude travel. Some will also be able to give you and your family even more destination options such as overseas resorts or chartering your own private boat.
Two organizations, the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and The Naturist Society (TNS), both provide to their members listings of nudist clubs, parks, and resorts which meet the guidelines and standards of each organization. An affiliation with either AANR or TNS, or both, will help you to ensure that your prospective destination has a safe, wholesome environment for you and your family. The Trade Association for Nude Recreation also maintains a registry of organizations which meet their standards of providing wholesome nude recreation.
