I've been to both LOTW and TLR (as well as other venues in the Midwest). My wife and I ultimately chose LOTW; but had it not been more convenient for us to go there during COVID, who knows, TLR might have been our resort of choice.Some things I like about TLR, some things not so much. Same with LOTW. You can't have everything.The "obvious" distinction between the 2 resorts is one is completely clothing-optional; the other is not.I personally have not seen a distinctive difference in attendance between the two. Notwithstanding special events.Yes times are changing and resorts are closing at an alarming rate. My daughter basically grew up at Bell Acres (GA); it is no longer a nudist resort. We used to meet up with friends at Cedar Creek (SC); it is no longer a nudist resort. But to think that TLR, or LOTW, has a better chance of enduring over the other reflects a personal bias, and lack of understanding as to why Millennial/Zoomer interest in resort nudism is waning. It doesn't matter to them whether a resort is clothing-optional or nudity-expected; rustic or commercial. They're just not interested in nudist resorts. Naked gaming with friends at home, or traveling to the nude beaches in Spain is the nudist experience they're going to be more interested in.We should all support AANR resorts - while they're still around - and bemoan any resort that doesn't survive. Regardless of whether you're a fan or TLR or a fan of LOTW.Just a thought.
I am not familiar with the abbreviation TLR. What is the full name?
We live in Indiana, a state that has 7 nudist resorts. Up to a few years ago 6 of the 7 resorts were family oriented. Then one of the 6 resorts in the northwest part of the state called Ponderosa became an Adult Nudist Resort much like Sun Aura which is nearby. Our biggest concern is that other family resorts like the one we frequent every year will someday switch over due to the lack of nudist family visitation. Weve been on TN for 13 years and have seen a decline here of nudist families.
You raise a valid concern that is unfortunately only by what seems to be a declining group. I spoke with you both in person about my solidarity with you and how important I think that is for the future of naturism. i think those who say that resort nudism is dying or dead dont account for the fact that resort nudism is one of the few places family nudism can currently safely take place and nudist families can thrive. I saw so much evidence of that this summer. But I as you noted in reference to the decline in this space, I suspect they are only focused on adult nudist experience.
Fortunately there are still a few places that seem to be bucking the decline in family nudism and promoting whole family experience that looks like the golden days of nudism but where families of all kinds can safely practice this wonderful way of life without fear of social stigma.We live in Indiana, a state that has 7 nudist resorts.

I know that AANR has mentioned the youth nudist camp our son and us attended a few years back in their monthly publication of The Bulletin. Hopefully that will raise the importance of having future generations of nudists families. Thanks for your input on this topic.
