Dear Dejah,
Do you know of any nudist camps in Michigan? What is the etiquette
at these places? Do people have sex at nudist colonies?
Scott
Well, Scott, there are two different types of nudist camps throughout
the country: purist and swinger-friendly. Pure nudists revel in
the natural side of just being naked in nature. They aren’t
as interested in sex as people who frequent the more swinger-friendly
camps. So, these vistas may be better for first-timers looking to
experience nudism in a public setting. The only downside to these
settings is that some are very family-friendly. You’ll find
people from great-grandmothers to college students at naturist events,
but I still find the sight of nudist children a bit shocking despite
my own upbringing. If you wanted to have a relaxing weekend with
little sexual pressure, however, places like Forest Hills in Saranac
or Turtle Lake in Union City might be worth the trip.
As for the more swinger-friendly resorts, the etiquette differs
by location. All nudist events require that participants bring a
towel to sit on at all times for hygienic purposes. Beyond that,
each resort varies as its tolerances of public sexuality. Cherry
Lane in the Irish Hills area, one of my personal favorites, manages
to find a good balance between pure nudism and swinger sexuality.
Their rules restrict sexual displays to enclosed areas, i.e. your
camper or tent, and leave the common areas open for mingling. Other
camps, like Sun Aura in Roselawn, IN, may encourage more exhibitionism
as they see fit. (Always check the camp rules online before going.)
If you’re interested in attending the more swinger-friendly
camps, I’d recommend either Cherry Lane Nudist Resort or Northaven
as two good starting options; they run weekend specials, dances,
and events. If you’re willing to make the drive, Sun Aura
with its distinctive female-leg statue can be worth the trip as
the crowd is somewhat younger than the regulars at the Michigan
events.
I hope that gives you a starting point, Scott. All these places
have Internet sites, so read up and determine which one would be
the best fit for you. If you’re looking for a local group
that does smaller events as a warm up, I’d also recommend
Southeast Michigan Naturists. I cannot vouch for their slant as
I’ve only met a couple of members, but they seem to have more
purist leanings as opposed to hosting swinger events. They seem
like a nice group of people, so feel free to check them out too.
Happy camping,
Dejah
