These nudist resorts cater to an adult clientele, with a more sensual or romantic atmosphere in the evening. Therefore, some of these destinations may NOT be suitable for children.

Hi, My name is Candy Mejia and I am the General Manager of The Terra Cotta Inn in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Some destinations like ours are not suitable for children and and are run very conservatively. We have guests from all around the world that take their vacations with us and they don't want to have to watch little kids running around poolside all day long. That is why we cater to adults and not to families. So just because a naturist resort is not suitable for children does not mean it is sexual or wild. Thanks, Candy :-)

Land O'Lakes / Lutz
- - Resort - AANR -
But Paradise is listed as an AANR club which only accepts "family" type clubs..... I see kids there now and then and there are a few that live there. It is the same as Lake Como for example in this respect, which you include in your "family" clubs. Kids are welcome most times but there are events at which they aren't invited.
It is no different than being at home and saving the more adult TV for after the kids have gone to bed, or inviting friends over for a late night cardgame and having a few beers while the kids are asleep.
Hey admin, how about introducing yourself? Some personal background would be nice. I'd like to know who started this board and what motivated it.

My wife and I enjoyed Grand Lido Negril and stayed on the nude beach side. Very friendly people and the service was great. Have enjoyed it for the past 10 years and in the month of Dec.

Candy is also a member of the Diablo Sun Devils Naturist Club in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a wonderful advocate of our club... always helping us with our goals of introducing women to naturism.
She strongly supports the many joys and health benefits of naturism for women just as I do... (something which is long overdue) and is a fantastic asset to the naturist community as well as the Diablo Sun Devils..!
The Diablo Sun Devils have been to the Terra Cotta Inn as a group... and many of us have been there individually as well. It is not just a great place to stay... but it is also a wonderful destination. We are a singles... couples and family oriented club and I can assure you that children would be comfortable and right at home at the Terra Cotta Inn... but it is certainly much more relaxing without them..!!!
Keep up the good work Candy..!

Does anyone know anything about a place in Ontario Canada called "The Grand Barn" It is between Ottawa and Montreal. I've heard of it , but never seen it listed as AANR or such. Have not spoken to any couples or families who have gone either. Any word??
Thanks.

I do have some information. The fellow who runs it, Peter Riden, is a long-time friend. (Friends don't have to believe in the same things) It's not my cup of tea, but you can find more about them at http://www.hawk.igs.net/~tgbarn/200.HTM - it is definitely not g-rated. It will probably never be affiliated with AANR since it is not of that category.

Thank you Cheri. My daughter (18)will be going to school near there and I was wondering about using it as a base and place she could also go nude. So I take it from your response it is an "adult" place rather than "family".
Appreciate your input.
Regards.

Wiccan, You take it correctly. In Ontario, I would recommend New Forrest as a base for her.

You know, if a particular nudist place is non-family, that's NOT a bad thing. There are a lot of nudists/naturists that don't like kids, and don't want to be around them. Yet, we are made to feel like we're some kind of bad, for not wanting to go to a "family" resort. Because of that, my wife and I go to beaches. Of the three nudist/naturist resorts in Northern California, all are AANR Family affiliated places.
If I win the lottery, I'll see about opening a nudist getaway for "the rest of us" in Northern CA.

Yes, kind of a little late but better late than never. Beautiful Cheri is indeed a good friend. As for THE GRAND BARN, I know that our Darling Cheri has been highly under attack for standing up for her friend Peter and feels a little shaken about it.
Here is what summarizes TGB: The Grand Barn has never since day one considered its facility to be soley a nudist venue, club or colony. Since its opening in 1988 The concept of being "At ease with Nudity" has always superseded the exclusionary constraints of the fundamentalist nudist mindset. This principle of entreating individuals to define their own social and moral responsibility within the construct of a communal environment has caused a forced alienation of the Grand Barn, with many of the other nude venues and associations. The positive aspects of this exclusivity has yielded many long standing and supportive members, who year after year have supported the freedom that 'The Grand Barn' stands for.
That should be the destination for any and all who don't add pretenses in their lives when it comes to socializing in the Nude and an answer to some who are looking exactly for what we offer and expressed in these forums..;-)
Mostly for one who writes "If I win the lottery, I'll see about opening a nudist getaway for "the rest of us" in Northern CA." That money could be directed our way..;-)

Very well said, Peter, and I couldn't have said it better myself 
Total Independence from all other Nudist organisations, associations, clubs, and venues, since day 1, 7 years ago for us, has been probably our best ever business decision!
We do our thing to best suit our guests / customers and as the demographics of such change we are constantly looking at all options for the best result for those same guests / customers which ultimately is the best result for our business. 
So many of us are doing the same Peter.
It just may take longer for others to realise that it's 2008 now, not 1948!!!

I've always loved that quote by Mickey Rourke in the movie barfly: "Its not that I dislike people, I just seemed to like it better when they are not around." As I move on in years I tend to have this approach to children. I like peace and quiet, I've seen and participated in the lives of many children, I've done my service and deserve my honorable discharge.
