About Hidden River Resort
Hidden River Resort is a privately run clothing-optional campground on 88 acres beside the St. Marys River in Charlton County, in the far southeast corner of Georgia, about 30 miles west of Jacksonville, Florida. Despite the name it is essentially an RV and tent park: there are no rooms or restaurant, and guests bring their own food and supplies. Campers choose between sites with 30- or 50-amp power, water and sewer, tent sites with or without electricity, and open wooded camping, and there is a dump station. Shared facilities include a swimming pool and hot tub, a bathhouse with indoor and outdoor hot showers, and a large covered pavilion with an outdoor kitchen. The land runs down to a white-sand river beach used for sunning and, when the water level allows, canoe and kayak trips. Nature trails are open to walkers, cyclists and riders, as horses are welcome, and there are petanque, horseshoe and volleyball courts plus fenced space for dogs. Clothing is optional across the grounds, but full nudity is required in the pool and hot tub, with a soap shower first. The resort's long-running spring event, Nudie Blues, reaches its 25th edition in April 2026.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on this private property. Nudity is required in the pool and hot tub and optional elsewhere on the grounds.
Public nudity is largely prohibited in the US under indecent exposure laws which vary significantly by state. Vermont has no state-level law against public nudity, making it unique. Florida designates specific beaches as clothing-optional (Haulover Beach, Blind Creek State Park). Federal jurisprudence under the First Amendment has occasionally recognised nude expression in protests, though states regulate for public decency standards. Most states prohibit exposure of "sexual organs" in public under statutes similar to Florida Statute § 800.03.
What’s here
Getting there and visiting
From I-10 take exit 335 and head north through Macclenny, Florida, on GA-228/US-121; after crossing the St. Marys River into Georgia, turn left on GA-185 and follow it to Reynolds Bridge Road. There is no public transport. Day visitors are accepted under the resort's day-visitor guidelines; call the office (912-843-2603) to arrange a visit and confirm fees, as current rates are not published online. The Explore Georgia listing gives older rates of $20 for a tent and $25 for an RV. Pets are welcome but must be leashed or kept at the campsite. No glass containers.
What visitors say
Public reviews are few. A 2024 review described it as a relaxed, adults-oriented nudist campground whose pool is the main social spot, and travel roundups single out the river beach and the pet-friendly policy. Visitors note it is rustic, with no store or restaurant, so it suits self-sufficient RV and tent campers.

Alice Falls is a waterfall and swimming spot on the Ausable River near Keeseville, at the northeastern edge of the Adirondacks. Flat rock ledges beside the falls are used informally for nude sunbathing, including by families. It has no facilities or official status. River currents can be strong after rain, and visitors should respect nearby residents.
Alpenglow Ranch Clothing Optional B&B
Alpenglow Ranch is a clothing-optional bed and breakfast and small resort near Bend in central Oregon, listed with AANR and the Clothing Optional Home Network. Guests stay in the house and can relax nude around the grounds with views toward the Cascades, using Bend as a base for high-desert hiking and hot springs trips. Booking ahead is required.
Alvord Hot Springs
A privately owned desert soaking spot at the foot of Steens Mountain in south-eastern Oregon. Two rustic concrete pools look out over the white playa of the Alvord Desert. The spring is on a working ranch, and a small fee covers soaking, with bunkhouse rooms and camping nearby. Soaking here is clothing-optional, and the remote setting is known for big skies and stargazing.
Apollo Beach
Apollo Beach is the northern, Volusia County district of Canaveral National Seashore, a federally protected barrier island south of New Smyrna Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast. A park road runs south from the entrance station past five numbered parking areas with boardwalks over the dunes; nude sunbathing happens on the sand south of parking area 5, the last lot before the road ends. A long-standing understanding between naturist groups and rangers dating to 2000 asks people to stay covered until about 150 yards south of that boardwalk, although nude visitors are often seen closer. South of there the beach continues as Klondike Beach, roughly a dozen miles of undeveloped shore with no road access, so the farther you walk the emptier it gets. The beach is wide, soft, pale sand backed by sea oats and dunes, with no shade, no buildings and no vendors. It draws fewer people than Playalinda at the Brevard end of the seashore, mostly because parking is so limited. Volusia County has never passed a public nudity ordinance, which is why this end of the seashore has a calmer legal position than Playalinda. Wildlife sightings (shorebirds, wild hogs, armadillos) are common on the drive in.
Apollo Beach Ramp 5
Apollo Beach Ramp 5 is a nudist-friendly beach in Volusia County, Florida,, USA. Nudity is optional. On-site amenities include restrooms.

Day passes are available during a summer season that runs roughly from Memorial Day through September. Coordinates mark the Arcadia community, not the exact gate.
