Nude Resorts

[flintstones]

thank you well said

Well put, flinstones. My one (actually two) opportunities to experience nudism came during my former life as a journalist. At the time, there were two nudist parks in York Region. One in East Gwillimbury, now long gone, and the other in King Township.

The second, Glen Echo Family Nudist Camp, is, according to the Highway 400 road sign near Aurora, still there. Spent a Sunday at each of the two camps and, while I liked to joke that I spent a lot time time looking people in the eye, the impressions I came away with and shared with my readers echo those of flintstone.

I interviewed a older retired gent, a young couple expecting their first baby (about the week after the interview), high school students, and many others just enjoying nature.

Of all the comments, this one stands out the most: "When we're here, we're all equal. Clothes tend to define a person. You can be a minister, cop, teacher or construction worker but here you're accepted as you."

That's the essence of what was said (20 years or so later, and I don't have my notes!!) and it still stands out.

These two camps were family only, no single men. If it's a lifestyle you've thought about, try it. It's an experience that will impact each person in a different and, I suspect, very positive way!

And yes, to answer the inevitable question, I was nude for both visits.

thanks that is so well said. When we are all equal its a amazing feeling.If you are insecure about your body..you go there and realize no one is perfect its whats inside.I had my grandson there from day1. swimming in the pool running around naked Well its so natural..The kids there are not afraid to go outside because stangers are lurking they are protected at all times. they are out playing in the sun. Not inside in from of a TY, or playing video games. They are fishing swimming, playing with other cheildren. They do not see the body as something to stare at and point. I feel they are so much more well rounded and less confused about there body I too have talked to people in ther early 20's that were raised in this atmosphere and are still there.loving it.I mayself had a kidney transplant last year so I am taking so many antirejection drugs I am not allowed to sit in the sunshine anymore apparently its adding fire to the chance for cancer. I miss it so much and wish I could still ly in the sun listen to the radio and jump in the pool. thanks

thanks that is so well said.

You're most welcome. One of the things I forgot to mention is something you just touched on - these parks (I'm talking family, not the "beautiful people showing their beautiful bodies so they can have a beautiful time with a beautiful other" ones) are visited by normal, often plain-looking folks who just appreciate the atmosphere.

As for not being to get out in the sun, that's probably a positive, since I hear it's bad for your health!!!

That is a great story M&M and thanks for the post!!

I just find it fascinating that some parents would consider bringing there kids to these resorts. I don't know if I would have the balls to do that. But to some parents it's normal I guess.

I like the idea that you don't have to pack alot of cloths to go to these places. All you need is a toothbrush!!'

W hy wouldn't you bring kids we have to get rid of the notion that nudity is bad . Nudity is more natural for kids until someone says it's bad.

beautiful people

you are so right. I have been around the pool laying on my towel(rule#1) when a couple has paraded around the pool her with her perky fake boobs him with his 10 inches swinging as he sways.. and they are so disapointed that no one runs over to talk or seems interested. she usually has on a thong and cant understand why she must take it off to go in a non textile pool and there stay is very short because they did not get the reaction they wanted. I suppose they thought everyone would be so entranced with their beautiful bodys not knowing its whats inside thats beautiful

More Info

Great thread!

I've never been to a nudist resort before but have been curious about it.

I basically want to get a fullbody tan without alot of people gawking.

Between 4Seasons & Ponderosa which would you recommend for a 1st timer?

Do either of these resorts allow 'prudes' to use their facilities too? I ask for my friend who might want to accompany me but isn't ready to bare it all at this point.

any of these places for a single heterosexual male can go to and not be treated like a creep providing of course that he was conducting himself properly?

There is an alternative nudist resort near Montreal called The Grand Barn. Single guys are always welcome, it is quite an adult atmosphere. Their summer themes include adult-oriented weekends, swinger weekends, internet porn star beauty contest weekends, etc. My wife and I visited on a weekend when nobody was there (on the way by), and met the owner, Peter. He emphasised several times that they were very open minded. We definitely intend to go back later this summer. The website is www.the-grand-barn.com. See you there.

By the way, I still find it to be a strange feeling when I'm at a nudist resort and I find myself taking a shower and there are ladies and even teen girls next to me showering as well...Nothing wrong with it since it's a family nudist park, but it still feels kind of strange..

Also, I'm amazed when I see young teen girls swimming and playing volleyball with a bunch of nude men without even blinking an eye or giving their nudity a single thought. Well, they have been brought up in the lifestyle since they were babies, so....

Exactly when I go to the nude beach at Hanlans it's the people who come with clothes on that look strange.

Yes I have been to the pondarosa resort close to Hamilton area

Most people think there are just older people
well there is all ages and many pools, gyms, saunas, hot tubs, golf, tennis


You spend all your life wearing clothes so here's the famous quote:

"Life is short play naked"


p.s. any MP'S like to go to a resort or nude swim event?
