There are a few considerations of etiquette which are accepted among
most nudists. They are listed here for reference and for the benefit of
newcomers.
It is a good idea to secure an invitation before dropping in on a nudist club.
This usually means writing or telephoning ahead of time. Strangers who show up
unexpectedly may be turned away.
Honesty is the best policy. If you are sincere, most clubs will be happy to have
you visit. Deceptive stories about why you want to become a nudist are not
necessary. Give accurate information in your initial letter to a club and on
your membership application.
At a lot of clubs, married people must join with their spouse. Some clubs have a
no singles policy while others are more liberal towards single members. It is
always better to ask in advance rather than to run the risk of being turned away
at the gate. In most instances, single couples (male and female) are just as
welcome as married couples.
For business or personal reasons some nudists may wish to remain anonymous and
will introduce themselves using first names only. You should respect their
privacy and they will do the same for you. It is you that nudists care about.
Your personality will determine the number of friends you make at a nudist park,
just as at any other social function.
Nudist parks seek to maintain a family atmosphere. Innocent expressions of
affection among family members and friends are commonplace, but overt sexuality
is not condoned. Unseemly behavior of any kind is out of place and will not be
tolerated.
Photography is usually taboo. All clubs have strict rules governing photography.
Most nudists are camera-shy and it is inexcusable to take a photo of anyone
without permission. Don't take your camera to a club without checking all of the
rules governing photography.
Observe all of the clubs posted rules. They are for your protection as well as
for the safety and enjoyment of all concerned. Some of the more common rules are
simple: Watch your children, they are your responsibility at all times. Sit on a
towel for sanitary reasons. Shower carefully before using the swimming pools and
hot tubs. Respect the rights of others. Respect the club property and keep it
clean. Leave your pets at home.
Be as friendly and as open as possible and others will do the same.
What to Bring on your first visit:
Bring along two towels, one to sit on at all times when you are nude and
one to dry with after a shower, hot tub soak or a dip in our lake.
You might want to bring along any refreshments you might need or want such
as you might bring on a day at the beach or a picnic.
Bring sunscreen lotion with the appropriate SPF factor and by all means
use it. No sense bringing home a sunburn as your first visit souvenir!
Last, but not least, bring yourself. That first visit is the
toughest but you won't know you like it until you try it and we guarantee -
you'll love it! "The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first
step" - Old Chinese Proverb
