AANR West Club Highlights

Laguna del Sol

Laguna del Sol is one of the premier clothing-optional resorts in the United States. Located on 250 acres near Sacramento, it’s close to the city and yet a world away.

Everyone’s idea of the perfect, relaxing getaway is different. Laguna del Sol aims to provide a full range of active and leisure activities to be enjoyed with the luxury of not having to dress.

Deluxe, modern facilities blend smoothly into the lush, green lawns that cover much of the grounds.

Nudity feels incredibly natural in this beautiful environment. https://www.lagunadelsol.com


RoadRunner Naturists Club

Roadrunner Naturists is an active group of nudists based in northern New Mexico, with most events held in the Albuquerque area.  The average age of our members is 40's to 60's, but ages range from diapers to wrinkles.  Some of us are single and some are married.  Some have school-age children, who accompany us on our outings, and some of our children are grown but still come along when they can.  We are bound together by friendship, a love of the outdoors, and a common belief that there is nothing shameful about the human body.  Our custom is nude when possible and appropriate, clothed when practical.  If we are cold or sunburned, we dress accordingly. http://roadrunnernaturists.com

Short Story

Naturist Retreat

Beneath the wide embrace of the cerulean sky, there lay a secret haven known to but a few—it was called Whispering Pines Naturist Retreat, a place where the clutches of society's fabric were unthreaded by the gentle hands of nature.

At Whispering Pines, trees shimmied in the breeze, their leaves whispering secrets to those who walked unshackled from the constraints of clothing. Birds chanted their ditties with a vigor reserved only for the truly wild places of the world. In the beating heart of this secluded paradise, timid souls found liberation, and the raw beauty of human connection blossomed.

It was a typical resplendent morning when Jane arrived, shoulders weighed by the confinement of a textile world. Her first steps through the hand-carved wooden gates of Whispering Pines were shrouded with trepidation, but the warmth of the sun's kisses on her cheek coaxed her forward. The lush grass, swaying to the rhythm of the gentle wind, tickled her bare feet like a whispered invitation to come and dance.

As she ventured deeper into the community, her nerves jangled like a cacophony of discordant notes. But with each step, her symphony began to harmonize with the natural orchestra around her. Her past struggles, the imprisoning stares, and deceptively heavy fabrics—all ebbed away with the morning mist.

She met Jonathan at the heart of the retreat—a gentleman in his golden years with a smile as wide as the horizon and a spirit free as the hawks circling the azure above. With his silver mane and the guidance of experienced hands, he led her to the edge of Sapphire Lake, whose waters reflected the endlessness of the sky above.

"Freedom is not just about shedding your clothes," he told her. "It's about shedding your fears, your prejudices, and the burdens society places upon us. Here, we let nature strip us down to our very essence so that we may see each other, and ourselves, as we truly are."

In the hours that followed, Jane found herself swimming in the cool serenity of the lake—her skin caressed by the fluid hands of purity. She laughed with abandon, her laughter mingling with the chorus of such genuine joy radiating from those around her. They shared stories, sunbaths, and the simple act of living that became profound when unadorned.

Picnic tables adorned with a cornucopia of natural produce became altars of communion that evening. Jane sat, her body's tapestry of scars, stories, and triumphs open to the cosmos, feeling as if each star watched over them with an approving glint.

It was over fresh fruit, sun-baked bread, and the earthy scent of wild herbs that she finally comprehended the truth Jonathan had imparted. Freedom was not in the donning or the doffing of garments, but in the acceptance and celebration of the soul's natural state.

Jane retired to a rustic cabin, her heart beating to the primordial drumming of a world alive and unconstrained. That night she dreamt not of constraints or barriers, but of the beauty of authenticity, of skin touching earth and souls touching souls, with the cosmos as their tapestry.

The next morning, the sun greeted a transformed Jane—a woman reborn in the understanding that the truest form of being was not about hiding but about connecting—wholly, beautifully, naturally. Whispering Pines was no longer a retreat from the world, but rather a gateway to a fundamental aspect of it.

She left, clothed once more, but carrying with her the indelible understanding that beneath it all, there was a freedom that could never be stripped away—a freedom born in the gentle embrace of Whispering Pines Naturist Retreat.

The Many Names We Take Pride In

Our organization has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, with a focus on providing more detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the locations where we practice and enjoy our nudist lifestyle. While terms such as "nudist colony" or "nudist camp" may have been accurate in the past, we now prefer the use of terms such as "nudist clubs," "parks," or "resorts," which better reflect the diverse and welcoming nature of our community. Additionally, we have adopted new terminology to describe ourselves, including naturists, nudists, or members of clothing-optional organizations, highlighting the positive and respectful aspects of our lifestyle.

We believe that our lifestyle is grounded in basic human rights, such as the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to be comfortable in one's own skin. Our organization is committed to ensuring that these rights are protected and respected, and we work tirelessly to promote acceptance and understanding of our way of life. In addition to advocating for top freedom, social nudism, and family nudity, we also support a range of initiatives aimed at promoting body positivity and inclusivity, including educational programs, community events, and outreach activities. By working together, we can build a more open and accepting society that values diversity and celebrates the beauty of the human form.
