PARKING: Please stay on gravel at any time the ground is wet. When ground is dry,
parking is available on the upper side of driveway in the main area
at an angle to the driveway. Angle park in the driveway leading to
the clubhouse. In dry weather, sites along the roadway to the dam
are available for small cars. Site holders and renters may park at
their site. Please do not drive in the main grassy area or
non-parking spots in cabin area!
-
ENVIRONMENT: You have come to a campground in the woods and can expect the joys and
hazards normal to that environment. Hiking, sunning, relaxing,
swimming, sports and games, and other activities are entered into at
your own risk. Be aware of uneven ground, deep pond, poison ivy and
wild rose bushes, and insects. Wildlife is generally harmless if
left alone. Raccoons have been known to invade food supplies. Please
keep food locked up.
-
NUDITY: It is expected that you come here because you want to be a part of the
nudist experience. We are a nudist park and choose to be nude when
the weather is appropriate. However, we give newcomers time to be
acclimated. If a family member chooses to come along without full
participation, clothing may be accepted for the sake of the family
activity within limits. It is considered nudist etiquette to carry a
towel to sit on. Wearing underwear, bathing suits, or body jewelry
in the genital area is not considered appropriate attire.
-
TOILETS: A bathhouse is located on the far side of the clubhouse. Outhouses are
located on various sites around the grounds. Report need for tissues
or cleaning to the management. Spare tissues and cleaning supplies
for volunteers are located in the small green shed in the middle of
the camping area. "Mailboxes" in the toilets are for
disposal of sanitary napkins, etc. Do not put any materials,
garbage, or liquid chemicals into the toilets. Keep seats and doors
closed. We use only white toilet tissue. Disposable diapers should
be wrapped and placed in garbage cans or taken home. Parent shall
accompany small children to toilets.
- PETS:
Please
see our Dog Guidelines page
for our rules concerning pets.
- PRIVACY: Respect the privacy of individuals and their property. This includes
tents, campers, cars, cabins, etc. Be aware that your children
do also. We hope you will tell everyone YOU were here, but NEVER who
else was here.
- HIKING: There are hiking trails on the grounds and on the adjoining property
owned by the Kern/Brown family. Wear a cover-up when in the vicinity
of the roadway. Ask for directions. Nature walks are particularly
enjoyable in the spring.
- PITCH-INS: Our policy is that each participant provide a dish of food to feed
themselves and party times five, sometimes following a theme. You
may bring or purchase beverages for yourself as they are not
regularly provided. When the food supply is adequate, persons caught
unprepared may eat with the group for an appropriate contribution to
the kitchen fund.
- COMMUNITY KITCHEN: The kitchen is available for the members use and you are expected to
leave it better than you found it. Contributions help us maintain
and improve the area and equipment.
- CLUB STORE: A store is maintained with various items of camping supplies, paper
goods, nudist books, magazines, and videos, and items of
"nudist clothing."
- TOOLS: Some tools are available for members' use provided that they are used
properly and restored to proper location.
- FIRE PITS: Build fires only in designated areas. Campfires are designed to serve
several campsites. Exceptions for individual sites must have fire
pits approved and be encased in rock and small enough to put out
with a metal lid or tub and must be covered when you leave your
site. Keep a bucket of water handy to your fire. Use dead wood on
the ground for campfires. Do not burn treated wood or other toxic
items.
- FIREARMS: Firearms are not permitted. MOTORIZED VEHICLES other than
transportation onto the grounds or for handicapped and maintenance
require a permit.
- ECOLOGY: We hope that you will make a habit of using biodegradable soaps and
other items that will reduce the polluting of our environment.
Several items will be available in the community store. No trees or
other vegetation are to be removed or disturbed except with consent
of leaseholder. (Ellyn) It is our policy not to use poison controls
in our environment and we attempt to live in harmony with wildlife.
Most pesticides and herbicides disturb the balance of nature and we
are very discriminating in their use and it would be appreciated if
you would refrain from using any.
- FEES: If your membership is revoked for cause, no fees are refunded.
- LEGALITY: The operation of a nudist club is legal in the State of Indiana and we
are well accepted by the local community. All local, state, and
federal laws are expected to be obeyed.

-
WATER: All the water that we use is hauled in and we request that you conserve it. Several faucets are available on the grounds, and showers are inside and located on the south side of the bathhouse, and a kitchen is located inside the clubhouse. Do not attach hoses to any faucets. We also have to haul out our waste water. We are unable to accommodate large motor homes. Medium-size RVs may be possible if space reserved. No permanent RVs over 22 feet and no water hookups.
-
CAMPING:
Tent
sites are available for overnight camping. Permanent campsites are
available with consultation with the management and payment of a
fee. Applications are required for new sites, construction, or
change in accommodations. Occasional campers may camp on a space
available basis. We cannot provide any utilities (except possibly
electricity on a very limited basis). A dump station is located
along the drive behind the clubhouse. Do not dump any toxic
chemicals; a donation for its use is appreciated.
-
SWIMMING: Children must be accompanied by an adult while in the pool area. The
deck gate shall be closed at all times. No roughhousing in pool or
on deck. Do not use any Styrofoam products in the pool. Remove any
oils from skin before going into water. Bathing nude is required in
the pool except babies not toilet trained should be wearing special
swim diapers. Clothing shall not be left around the pool area, but
left in cars or campsite. Keep all food, drink, and cigarettes away
from water area. Do not swim alone. Swimming is not permitted in the
pond.
- ALCOHOL: While alcohol is not prohibited, please keep its consumption to a
minimum. No intoxication will be tolerated. Generally speaking
alcohol is not included in our activities.
- QUIET TIMES: Children and teenagers are expected to be asleep at reasonable hours.
Adults may keep their own hours keeping extra quiet from 11:00 PM
until 8:00 AM. Radios and TVs, etc. volume should be for one's
own ears only. Not everyone shares the same tastes. Mechanical
equipment noise shall be minimal and weekend maintenance for
necessity only.
- DONATIONS: Donations of consumables and certain hard goods are welcomed. Please
verify need and appropriateness of items to donate. Any items
unidentified or unclaimed after the season will be utilized or
disposed of by the club management appropriately.
- VOLUNTEERING: We are a not-for-profit organization and do not have employees. We rely
on the members and guests to be responsible for themselves,
including cleaning up after themselves. While we don't require
everyone to volunteer assistance, the club can function so much
better if everyone contributes. Contributions are not limited to
physical labor. A project list is frequently posted. Others have
come up with innovative ways of contributing to the welfare and
enjoyment of the group. Do not take any actions that are
irreversible in case they may be deemed contrary to policy.
- SNACK BAR: Snacks and ice are available. The honor system applies as to payment and
preparation. A "tab" system is available to save you from
carrying money around. Please use the "money cans"
to pay for ice cream,
soft drinks, and small snacks. Pay for pizza, sandwiches, ice, and
hard goods directly, or tally on "tab,"
- GAME EQUIPMENT: Equipment is stored in various locations and should be returned to its
storage place. Outdoor equipment and balls are in plastic boxes in
play area. In fairness to all, do not abuse equipment.
- LOST AND FOUND: A box for lost and found is available in the clubhouse. Items not
claimed by the end of the season may be used or disposed of by the
discretion of management.
- GARBAGE AND RECYCLING: Garbage barrels are scattered around the grounds and
certain cans are marked for aluminum cans to be recycled. We attempt
to recycle other items when we can.
- NUDITY/SCREENING: In the off season and during dry seasons, the foliage we rely on for
screening is not adequate. Be careful about where you camp and
walk nude so that you are not seen by anyone passing on road. If you
wish to hike off the property, be certain to have a cover-up with
you. We do not want to offend any neighbors or create opportunities
for criticism.
- SOCIAL EVENTS: Members are invited to sponsor or organize special events. Members and
visitors are encouraged to participate in planned activities.
- GUESTS: It is your responsibility to inform your guests of the policies of the
club and of the fees that may be required. They should register upon
arrival. A guest of a member may have a one time free day. If you
are loaning your cabin or camper, please advise management in
advance. Overnight charges still apply.
- TIME:
Indiana
now observes Daylight Savings Time. We are now the same time
as Ohio or Kentucky.
