https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/ohio/zaleski-north-loop-trail

Day One - Meet at trailhead at NOON and Backpack east leg of the Middle Loop up to Campground 3. Set up camp. Gather firewood, build a fire.
Day Two - Hike the North Loop; hang out at the campsite; gather firewood, relax, get to know each other, and build a fire in the evening.
Day Three - Break camp and backpack down the west leg of the Middle Loop back to trail head.

Late notice, but the weather forecast is beautiful this entire week.
It may be the last stretch of warm weather (75) until next year.
Depending on the trail, time of day, etc., it's possible to gauge the risk of removing your clothes. (DM me for more information.) The farthest most remote campsite at Campground 3 is a large clearing with plenty of distance from the other sites. It's actually past the designated campsites, and a good 200 yards from the nearest site. Though we can't reserve it, the likelihood that anyone will claim it before us is little to none. A generic colored flag will be hung far enough in advance of anyone venturing the distance to encroach on our campsite. It's perfect for nude camping and hanging out in nature the way we like to enjoy it. It's beautiful too!

Backpack
