A- Nude recreation embraces the joy of living and experiencing nature in the most natural way possible. To relax and be nude is to let yourself be totally free. Although we enjoy clothing-free activities in appropriate settings, we also choose to wear clothes when practical. Nudists respect each other’s individuality. Our own self-esteem is enhanced by our ability to accept ourselves as we really are. We find it easy to accept others regardless of physical size, shape, or body condition. Moreover, social class distinctions, often indicated by clothing, disappear.

A- A resort has many amenities to make your visit relaxing and more enjoyable. It is also safer at SVR, because we do a background check on those that come to our resort.

Q- I have tattoos and/or body piercings, is that acceptable?

A- A Tushy Towel is a small towel, like a hand towel or small bath towel that you would carry with you when going somewhere will you will be a) bottomless and b)sitting down.  Nudist etiquette says that any time you sit somewhere (restaurant, bar, lounge chair, etc.) and you are not wearing anything to cover your buttocks, you place your Tushy Towel down before sitting (and take it with you when you leave).
