About Mountaindale Sun Resort
Mountaindale Sun Resort is a member-owned, family-oriented nudist club on 104 acres of forest along Dairy Creek Road in the hills northwest of North Plains, in Washington County, about 40 miles west of downtown Portland. Despite the 'resort' name it is a private club: the land is held collectively by the members together with the American Association for Nude Recreation, its parent body, and it has operated for more than half a century. The grounds are wooded and secluded, with hiking trails through the forest and a flower garden. Facilities include a solar-heated outdoor pool, an indoor spa with hot tub, a sauna and a clubhouse, plus pickleball, a disc golf course, horseshoes, shuffleboard and a children's playground, with games such as pool and foosball indoors. Accommodation is mainly camping and RV sites, with some overnight options for visitors. The community describes itself as clothing optional, and it organises social events every month through the year, with more in summer. Members have round-the-clock access; families with children are a regular part of the community, especially during school holidays. The indoor spa makes it usable year-round despite Oregon's wet winters.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on this private, member-owned land in Oregon.
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 Portland take US-26 west to North Plains, then follow the rural roads north and west to NW Dairy Creek Road; a car is needed. First-time visitors come by appointment only, between 9 am and 5 pm, and must pass a background check. Book through the club's website or phone before arriving. Fees and single-visitor rules are not published on the home page, so ask when booking. Prospective members undergo a background check and a probation period of about a year.
What visitors say
Visitors describe a quiet, wooded club with a friendly membership and a relaxed, family atmosphere, and the solar-heated pool, indoor spa and disc golf get frequent mentions. A Portland Mercury first-timer's account noted how quickly self-consciousness faded and how seriously the club takes screening and privacy. Some find the appointment-only first visit and membership vetting slow, but most regard it as reassuring.

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.
