I've been to Glen Eden in the past and had a great time. Never had the opportunity to visit Olive Dell, but I have had friends who visited and some who were even members there.

Yes, I've been to both, actually a few times to Olive Dell and several times to Glen Eden.
Do you have any specific questions? Glen Eden is not nearly as rustic as Olive Dell. OD is still nice, clean and the people are friendly and welcoming but it is a bit more rustic then Glen Eden.
GE is a very nice, clean, well maintained campground/mobil home park type of club. In a sentence, "I'd live there if my wife were willing."
Questions? Ask away!!

I've visited Olive Dell. Had a great day (except for a major sunburn brought on by sheer stupidity) and met a lot of nice people. It was a few years ago and rustic is a good term but it still had a swimming pool, hot tub, snack bar/restaurant (burgers and such) and a lot of walking trails (mind the snakes, I don't recommend that you walk on the trails alone).
Summary, it fun place to visit.
Nobility is not a birthright, it is defined by one's actions.

Glen Eden Sun Club: Just had a nice visit here yesterday with the wife. Since it was our first visit here they give you a tour in the nude first to show you around and weed out the kooks. The couple that showed us around were very nice and are permanent residents here. The entire property is very well maintained with a resturant, tennis courts, and lawn area by the main pool. The weather was off and on with the clouds passing over but we talked with several other guests that were all very friendly. We will be back for visits here again!

Well, Glen Eden is our home club. So of course I give it my full endorsement. We have several friends that are members at Olive Dell and it is nice. A little smaller and more rustic. Unfortunately this next few weeks are busy,so we wont have much chance to get out to GE. The Halloween dance this coming Saturday should be fun!!

We are members of GE but rarely go because it's impossible to get a site. Hopefully in ten years our names will be high enough up the list that we can buy in.
Because of the above (waiting list) we are considering both Olive Dell and Deer Park. If anyone has any comments about either, we'd love to hear from you. For now it would mostly be a weekend and holiday escape (we have a trailer), but eventually we might retire to one of those places. We have no objection to kids being around, but for us these places are an escape from the rat race, so the fewer kids, the better.

Thats too bad that there are people that feel this way. Children are the future of nudism, and without them all of our clubs will go out of business. As a mom of three teenage girls I am a HUGE advocate of children and nudist families making up the majority of our nudist clubs. Nudist CLUBS ARE NOT RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES.. and I will do everything I can to steer them away from this direction.

Im with you Jennifer, I don't mind the kids at all, I'd take my daughter if my ex-wife would allow it. When we were at GE last summer there were several kids there from ages 7-17 and they were very well behaved and were still having a blast! You're right, the resorts are not retirement communities and I wish they wouldn't be treated as such. I too do what I can to bring in a younger crowd as a matter of fact I have two more friends my age (mid-30s) wanting to give it a try. I'm hoping to get em out to Shangri La this summer.

Not only do I not mind them, I encourage as many as possible. To all of you nudists out there getting married and planning on having kids...PLEASE DO NOT STOP COMING OUT TO THE NUDIST VENUES in your area. Lets establish a foundation for nudism to grow..not die out with all of the middle aged nudists who make up the majority now. I think we are moving in the right direction. Lets keep it up.

Wow, how condescending is that?! People can't feel how they want? It's too bad that people exist that have different points of view from your own??
Did you not also see that I said, "We have no objection to kids being around"? I'm not telling you not to bring/take your kids and I'm not pitying YOUR position. All I said/infered was that (since we are full-time employed city-folk) we would prefer a serene setting. It's a weekend ESCAPE for us.
The whole concept of retiring there is simply because ALL of the places we have found are too far of a commute for it to be feasible now.

I forgot to mention that, practically speaking, children are the future of everything. However, you don't need to be born a nudist to become one later in life. I suspect that the rank and file of most resorts are NOT filled with people that were nudists as kids. It would be interesting to see the statistics and I imagine some exist somewhere.
I don't think there is much causality between being one as a kid and being one later, at least certainly not to the extent that it would provide the basis to keep resorts alive. And unless you can prove otherwise, I would be hesitant to pontificate that it does.

If the Majority of the age demographic that make up the members of our nudist clubs are the 50+ crowd( this is a fact) then, not to be morbid..but this crowd is closer to old age and death. How can a nudist resort or club remain lucrative without the younger generation? People who view nudist clubs as a place to get away from children are doing a HUGE diservice to nudism as a culture. I completely disagree that nudism should be "discovered at a later age" It should NEVER be undiscovered. TO all who have not always been nudists or "became nudists as adults"...You must realize that in order for that to have happened ..Somewhere along the line you were brainwashed into "not being nudists"...by either society or upbringing. I ask you this.. knowing how enjoyable this lifesyle is..dont you wish you could have been a part of it all along..and arent you a little bitter that there were attitudes and outside influences that prevented you from it? By this logic there will be a huge gap in nudist attendance for 20 years or so, until all of the non-nudist children and teens "re-discover" nudism in their 40's and 50's...I certainly hope not. That would be a very sad commentary on our culture.

I guess I'm not old enough to be bitter about it (having discovered it in my 30s). ;-) I'm not sure I was ever against it, though my upbringing and my parents strict Catholic doctrine could easily have made it so.
But anyway, your logic doesn't compute. As the old folks die off, new people of whatever age will discover it. I would say most of the people I've met "in the hot tub" claim to have become nudists in their 40s and 50s. That being the case there will always be people in their 40s and 50s to fill the ranks.
I agree however that it would be nice to have younger people -- if only so that we don't have to listen to so much 50s music at the social functions. ;-)

I must agree with your last statement about all of the 50's music. My husband and I cant stand it. As for people "discovering" this lifestyle...My goal is to not have people have to "discover it" My goal, and the goal of every young nudist and/or prospective nudist parent should be to raise as much of every future generation in the natural lifetyle to which we are all born into. Do we really want the median age of nudists to be 40? Whay cant we make a much more diversified group amoungst us? That is children of all ages, families, teens, young adults. That would only improve the climate at all of our nudist venues. With more revenue...and lets hope better music at the dances:)
