My wife and I were at Shangri La a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Nice place and friendly people.

Also stayed at Tonopah hot springs, very rustic but nice soaking, a nice restuarant nearby, and cheap.

We stayed at Mira Vista for two nights in the summer, and enjoyed it a lot. Clean, well maintained landscaping, beautiful pool/spa areas, a group of javelinas appeared as we were watching the sunset from the nude observation deck. The room was nicely furnished, the exercise facility was great, quiet with a few old-timers there for the day, and an overly-talkative couple who seemed to be tailing us the whole time. Not for the RV crowd, a bit too classy. We will definately go back to enjoy the resort and nearby attractions like Karchner Caverns.

I stayed at Mira Vista for a couple of days,the begining of Sept,while visiting Tucson considering it a place to relocate. The stay was pleasant and relatively quiet. The staff were friendly but I would have liked a litle more info when I asked about membership than just the application form. It did seem a little expensive for the ammenities that exist at present. I will be visiting again and hopefully updating will be visable.

I checked out their website (Mira Vista), nice photos, not much on rules etc. but I sent and e-mail to them and they said they are family friendly and singles are welcome, rules apply to everyone equally. It is a short drive from my rather rural abode (yes abode not adobe...LOL) so I think I'll check it out later this month while on vacation. They do offer a coupon, unfortunately it is a two for one deal, I guess I'll have to consider that my other leg gets in free!

Madame and I were at Mira Vista last month, and I am happy to report that the new pool area is very nice, as was the AZ sunshine. (I can also recommend Vivace, an Italian restaurant not too far from the resort.) On a less happy note, their condo project has stalled, presumably due to the crappy economy and tight credit.

I love the adobe architecture of Mira Vista. I had friends down that way who have since passed away, and they were nice enough to let me stay at their adobe home. I loved it!

I hate to dispute figures but as of 12/31/08, AZ Wildflowers has only 109 members according to the end of year figures. Shangri-La has 486.

Here's a recent article about being clothes optional in Arizona.


From Phoenix Day Trips Examiner - March 15, 2009

Clothing optional getaways in Arizona
March 15, 6:06 PM

A friend of mine just commented on Mira Vista Resort as a great getaway sans clothing. With the weather warming up, some might appreciate a list of nude and naturist resorts and clubs in Arizona.

For those curious about being nude and joining other naturists, I can recommend a very good list of questions and answers regarding nudism. They are questions and comments you might think about but are reluctant bring up.

Arizona

Arizona Wildflowers is one of the largest travel clubs (aka: non-landed) in AANR, with over 200 adult members. They began in 1980 as a small group of friends, but are now a proprietary club. If you feel that your concepts of social nudism are in agreement with theirs, they welcome you to join the group for a pool party or a campout, a potluck, or a special event. Their contact person has a Phoenix address.

Shangrila Ranch - Clothing optional resort. They are a family friendly facility located north of Phoenix that welcomes everyone interested in naturism. Full memberships with the resort are available. Visitors are allowed to ease into nudism. Shangri La Ranch emphasizes the freedom of choice. You select the activity that suits you from quiet relaxation in the spa , sauna or on the pool deck, to swimming, volleyball, water volleyball, tennis, shuffleboard, basketball, horseshoes or hiking trails. A clubhouse, children's playground and laundry are available. The pool is maintained at a comfortable temperature year round. RV, camping and rental units available.

Canyon State Naturists - A family friendly, clothing optional, non landed club with over 150 members across the USA mostly in Arizona. The organization models itself under the Body Beautiful, Body Acceptance and Nude Recreation theories. They enjoy time with friends and family in a natural setting and the group includes lots of campers and hikers.

Arizona Nudist Resorts and Naturist Clubs - A great listing researched by About Phoenix writer, Judy Hedding.

Mira Vista Resort - Marana, Arizona - Mira Vista Resort in Tucson is a clothing-optional hotel and recreation club located on a 30 acre property with a colorful history dating back to the 1800s. Features include 4 pools and spas, a full-service restaurant and bar, fitness center, tennis and massage services. The grounds are secluded and surrounded by beautiful hills and mountain views, yet just 3 miles from I-10. Day visitors are welcome.

El Dorado Hot Springs - Forty miles west of Phoenix, Arizona or seventy-five miles east of Quartzsite, leave I-10 at Tonopah--Exit 94. El Dorado is a rustic western mineral water spa located over an enormous natural subterranean hot spring.

We would love to read about more experiences concerning Mira Vista. Good or bad.
webenude Posted - 03/14/2009 : 5:46:39 PM
We are newbies at this site. Glad to see that there is info and opinons here concerning Mira Vista. We live in the midwest and have reservations at MV for early April. We booked it because of attractive airline rates to Arizona and for the most part, very good reports on Travel Advisor. After a winter like we just went thru, if it is warm and clean we will be happy campers!

Thanks to both of you for your comments about Mira Vista. I haven't been there, but know the new owners quite well. There were originally three couples who purchased it for a nudist resort. One of the original couples, Wayne and Suzanne Schell, recently bought out the other partners and took control in January of this year. Wayne and Suzanne have owned Laguna Del Sol in California for about 25 years, and have made it into one the nicest nudist resorts in the country. I'm a member of Laguna Del Sol and have seen the steady improvements they have made over the years, and I'm sure they will continue that at Mira Vista.
We also have a no cell phone rule in the pool areas at Laguna Del Sol. It's not just for peace and quiet, but since most cell phones contain cameras, they don't want anyone sneaking pictures with them. I know that the Schells would never tolerate some of the problems mentioned, so just give them a little time, and you'll be impressed with what they do with the resort.

My point, although I didn't make it well, was "lots of obtrusive no-no signs which were roundly and successfully ignored."

We should, and I do. It expect it will become a good place to live and a good place for locals to go for a day.

However, this thread is about places to snowbird in Arizona. Mira Vista is not now, and is unlikely to become, suitable for that. Well, unless one buys a condo there - which I don't think was what the OP had in mind.
