We got here
I can't believe no one responded to my post about a week a go saying we were going here.
Now that we are here I can't believe people actually come here. The 2 mile dusty washboard road was horrible. Our nice clean vehicles were filthy.
The bar is only open on weekends until 4PM.
People drive around here creating even more dust. It is more of a ghost town than anything else. Have seen two ladies and a handful of men.
Today,s adventure will be check out the showers and train trail.
Maybe when it was OK to be nude it was better but not a place I would come back to to wear clothes.
Sorry I missed those days.
Sad to hear, but not unexpected. If the owners thought the nudists weren't supporting them enough how do they expect textiles, accustomed to much more amenities, to support them? One comment on Trip Advisor sums it up: if I wanted to go to a textile campground, there are plenty of other much better options much closer (to San Diego).
Now that we are here I can't believe people actually come here ... not a place I would come back to to wear clothes.
When I lived in southern California, I visited there a few times. It was a thriving community of friendly people. Yes, it's dusty (it is the desert, after all) and rustic (it is the desert, after all) and remote (it is the desert, after all) but it was a pleasant place to enjoy clothes freedom. The guided hikes were excellent and, if you are familiar with hiking in the desert (which I am), it was a great place to start an all-day freehiking excursion to Goat Trestle. So sad that one more resort has pursued commercial gain at the expense of dedicated nudist residents.
We enjoyed visiting there when it was a nudist resort / campground. There are some excellent hikes out in the desert - and the hike down the track to visit the rail cars is interesting as well. Too bad the lack of continued social nudism forced this to go textile.
We lived there some years ago. The area is awesome. Being able to hike off into the desert at will was great. Usually took a backpack to put trash from all the illegals in. Found a little crossed pick & shovel carved into a rock one day. :) The owners were a mixed bag, the wife (can't remember her name) was usually cold and her hubby Dave was okay but could turn into an asshole at the drop of a hat. Their daughter Kim , who I'm guessing runs the place now was nice but a little stuck up. Aside from dealing with the owners it was a paradise. I believe the decaying economy has precluded many people from doing much just for fun. Most of the residents when we lived there were old. :) I imagine they are all gone now. Truly sad news.

It didn't change from lack of participation. The resort was sold and the new owners changed it.
