We took the alternate I-94 route tonight coming home cause traffic was so backed up. Just outside Black River Falls was a billboard advertising the nude campground. Got to go through two towns I’ve heard of but never been to, Alma Center and Merrillan. If you plan on camping carefull when frying the bacon.
Now, see, nudy camping in Arizona makes sense to me. It’s hot and dry and no bugs. Here in Minnesota, you have about four days where the weather is ok for it, and when the weather’s fine, you have more mosquitos, biting flies and wood ticks than anyplace on earth.
You have to admire their optimism, though. I’d go on “hot babes weekend”, but probably miss a lot of the other events, like the fall classic, where bobbing for apples is the big event, or the fourth of July fireworks extravaganza. Not lettin’ the dangly bits anywhere near fireworks. No sir.
On the other hand, packing for a week there should be a breeze. If it rains, do you get to wear rain gear? What would a nudist do?
I’ll be applying for the “Activities Coordinator” opening:

They have lots of biker weekends there. I know a gal who bartended there for a couple of these “weekends”. She said most of the people who do the “clothing optional” thing really should not! 
There’s a lot of people that don’t look real good with clothes on. I don’t want to think about them as “naturists”!
Yes, surprisingly quite a number of these places seem to have popped up (!) in recent years.
My father plays golf with the owner of the local rental company and, among other party rentals, they organize for portable sanitation (satellite toilets). So they got a call from a new “RV Park” in Pine County, having a special event, needed this, that, the other thing, and 30 portable toilets.
So he sends a driver out with the first load, completely unaware that this place is NOT what most people are thinking of when they think “RV Park”. So he hits the buzzer at the gate, the gate rolls open, and he drives into the park.
In telling the story later, the driver said he probably drove past the first dozen or so people without noticing what became painfully obvious just seconds later when he passed a couple walking their dogs and realized both the owners and the dogs were wearing only what they were born with.
Suddenly, the driver realized, hey… well now… nobody in the entire RV Park had a stitch of clothing on. Except for him.
So needless to say, that was probably the most awkward delivery of his career. A whole bunch of “campers” turned up to help him unload the truck. Careful with that box of tent stakes, those are sharp… Here’s the weed eater that you ordered, let’s go over the safety instructions. Things got really awkward at the “protective clothing” section of that little lecture.
My father is a good friend of one of the township board members where this RV Park is located. This man, John, is an Evangelical Christian of rather stern conviction and a devout political conservative. So it was somewhat surprising to my father that John announced he would be voting in favor of granting the RV Park’s request for a permit to expand. Need to support revenue generating businesses, get government out of the way, etc, etc.
My father felt the need to intervene when John added that he would be visiting the park to see for himself the planned expansion which included replacing and expanding the swimming pool. So dad tested the waters carefully (!) so to speak.
“Say, John, on an unrelated note, you probably are aware that that RV Park is, ummmm, a “naturist” park, aren’t you?”
“Well, whatever people want to do in their free time is fine with me as long as it honors God. If they want to watch birds and deer, well, those are the Lord’s creations too.”
So dad decided to leave it alone. Apparently, some hilarity ensued…

Reminds of the nudist beach over in golden valley some years ago. Caught my fair share of pasty butts on my backswing at Theodore Worth.
