John is right. Although there is no blanket federal law regarding nudity in public, there are laws in federal parks regarding it depending on whether it's National Park or National Forest or BLM land, and state laws are all over the place in this respect. Several "gray areas" exist... for example, in some cases it depends on whether anybody around you is offended or feels threatened by your naked presence. In other cases, the law is clear but the local enforcement people don't feel that it's worth the trouble to police the area if they don't see any blatant sexual behavior and/or don't want to fill out the paperwork. (Most nude beaches in California fall into this category.)

So try to check out the scene with local people who can advise you.
