My wife and I are planning a few trips to a nudists resort as well as clothing optional campgrounds. In our one experience at a clothing optional campground we felt like the “regulars” were somewhat rude. I do not know if it was because we were the new couple or because we were the youngest ones there (we are 30 and 28). Has anyone else had a similar experience? It has somewhat discouraged us from trying again!
Last year, we were new at nude camping/resorts. We had a very good experience. We are a senior couple and we went to an age appropriate campground. We did our research and also called before going. Ask questions. They made us feel welcome. This year we will go to a different one to get a comparison. AANR is a great organization that promotes safe wholesome family nudity. Do your research first.
Some resorts have "cliques"; which are usually regulars/members who just hang out with each other - exclusively. I've visited resorts where people looked "upset" about my wife and I "invading" their space. It doesn't have anything to do with age; they're just "tribal" and don't like newbies. I find it ridiculous. Whether that was the case in your situation or not; I simply recommend trying a different resort. My wife and I have visited three resorts; and out of the three, two were very welcoming of newbies. We settled on one to return to regularly.
Nudony, You nailed it, That’s exactly my point as well. With the age demographics of most US nudist campgrounds being an older age group, these places should be more welcoming to younger nudist. I recently spoke to a worker at the campground where we go and said many nude campgrounds are slowly turning to allow swinger/swapper types to increase revenue. As you said, some nude campgrounds have permanent residence living there as well. Those are the ones that are tribal.
Thank u guys for the input!! We feel better knowing that u guys have had similar experiences. I guess we will just keep looking around for a place that may be a better fit.
Your get the same anywhere even on beech's in the UK let alone sites. See some live there and they think its there's and we should not go on there beach, just shear snobbery.
Totally agree..I think in our specific experience, our age was a big factor in the way we were treated. Don’t get me wrong, we still had fun, just weren’t as comfortable as we thought we would be.
Campingcouple When you search for another nudist campground. Look for ones that have hot tubs. People seem to be more open for chat. Conversation seems to flow better in a hot tub. The club we went to last year had a indoor hot tub and pool along with a large outdoor pool. They also had a kitchen that served breakfast on the weekends. We all sat around nude drinking our morning coffee and the mood was social. We mixed with the tribe(residents) and visitors. Warning: Stay away from political discussions. Unplug and have fun.
Depending on the latest medical problem swirling these days, we will probably still get together on weekends in New Hampshire. Every now and then a traveling family joins us. We don't have much extra cleared space, but the option is there for you. Nothing to buy.
Thank you very much!! We have a camper that we travel with but if I would like to keep in touch you can probably get a hold of easier on kik if you want! Thanks again!!
Go to Caliente near Tampa. They accept everyone. As long as they are not single guys. I'm a married guy who's wife will not attend resorts after her breast cancer so now I'm an outcast everywhere!
Caliente is one of the resorts that isn't affiliated with the national organizations because it's too tolerant of (or actually encouraging) sexual activity. And Armondo, you're not an outcast. You can go to any beach and most resorts, and travel/social clubs too. But when a single man goes to nudist venues, he has to accept that he can't just let himself be attracted to where the women are. That's how we become really unwelcome!
Try Cypress Cove. Men aren't normally made unwelcome unless you break the rules. Your wife may feel mire comfortable too. There are ladies with breast massectomies and many people with disabilities.
I go there by myself when my wife is out of town. I love the place. They don't engage with single guys but they don't glare at you either. I ride my bike and swim. I hate having to hide it from my wife though.
I saw the women with mastectomies and would love for my wife to speak with them but nudity is a taboo subject now so I can't bring it up.
I've had good experiences at Lake Como too. I've had conversations and one couple even asked me to play Cornhole. I really appreciated that.
