We dress or undress for comfort at Bare Mountain. Nudity is required in the pool and hot tub. All other areas are clothing optional. Nudity is welcome at all times, including while dining and at social events.

Lounge Chairs
Please remember, the lounges are intended for people. Do not leave towels and personal belongings for extended periods on unoccupied lounges and chairs.
Pets
Pets
Campers please keep your pets at your campsite or on a leash. Pets are never permitted in the pool area, clubhouse, common ground lawn or public buildings.
Looking For Love in All the Wrong Places
A big misunderstanding prevalent among non-nudists is that nudity means sex. That is actually the misconception about the lifestyle nudists have tried hardest to dispel for years. Make no mistake, nudist resorts are nothing like singles bars. Women especially do not go to nudist resorts to be hit on or picked up.
Public Sexual Displays
Public Sexual Displays
We promote family oriented nudism, which should be WHOLESOME AND NON-SEXUAL. Sexually suggestive language, dancing, dress or displays of affection are never appropriate
Staring and Gawking
Staring and Gawking
People are vulnerable when they’re in the buff, so you want to avoid even the suggestion that you’re regarding them with cruelty or creepiness.
Making Comments About the Bodies of Others
Comments
Refrain from conversational comments on another person's body or on specific parts thereof, whether meant as a sincere compliment or not. A good rule of thumb is not to make a comment at a communal nudity gathering that wouldn't be appropriate at a clothed social event.
Photography
Photography
Generally, cameras are not welcome in the common areas. Most nudists are camera-shy. Never photograph anyone without permission.
Quiet Hours
Quiet Hours
Please be as quiet as possible between the hours of midnight and 8 AM and do not play your radio or television loud enough to disturb your neighbor or other guests at any time.
Nudist Etiquette Summary
There are certain rules that apply to all nudist clubs and resorts. Always sit on a towel or other similar item, refrain from picture taking, no unwanted advances, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, ensure that your conversations are not offensive to others, be considerate during quiet hours, smoke in approved areas, etc.
However, the best rule a member can use is the “Golden Rule.” Our club works best when all members and guests treat each other with respect and kindness. Our members do not always agree on everything, but we are committed to working out our differences by listening to all opinions and employing compromises that respect all viewpoints.
