Boat Camping Nude
Return to DiscussionsI like to go camping from my boat. Going to places that can only be accessed by boat. I have gone out on the river and found secluded sandbars to camp on with a tree line close by to set up camp in the shade. When camping like this, you can hear motorboats coming in most cases before they round the bend. This gives you time to sink down in the water until they pass, or go into the tree line to be out of site.I have also gone out on lakes with islands in them to camp on the islands. I live next to a lake and it has some islands on it. There is one island in particular I like to camp on. If we are planning on camping there over the weekend, then we go out there on a weekday afternoon to pre-clean the area before the weekend. I take a couple of rakes a weedeater and sometimes a saw to gather some fire wood for the weekend. Then on Friday afternoon, just take our stuff and set up camp when we get there as the site is already ready for us. This island has a ring of cypress trees around it, so no one can see you from a distance with binoculars. You have to get inside the ring of trees before you can see very far.Anybody else do any boat camping?
Boat camping sounds awesome. I used to live near the coast and can imagine tons of places to do this. It's cool to think you're going to a place few people venture.
That's one of the good things about it. Not as many people can get to where it is you are camping, and less likely that anyone will be able to "sneak up" on you, at least if they are in a power boat. A canoeist or somebody fishing using a trolling motor or sailingmay be a different story though.
I've done nude camping, nude hiking, nude driving...but never nude boating. It's on the bucket list :-)
I think there is a group or two on this forum for nude boaters, but you will have to search and find it on your own as I don't feel like it right now.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, here are links to my florida naturist camping pages:

I boat camp more than any other kind of camping. It is my default mode of camping.
One sandbar I liked to camp on had a small creek joining the river on the downstream side. I could back my boat in there and it could not be easily seen from the river. There were some low hanging trees over the creek that helped to hide it. We set up camp under the trees at the top of the sandbar, and no one would know we were thereunless they saw the smoke from our campfire. We could sit up there and watch boats go by without detecting us there. One time some friends came looking for us as they knew we were camping "down the river somewhere". They passed us 3 or 4 times before they found us. By then we were in the water and had covered up. If we had not been in sight like that, I doubt they would have ever found us as the wind was blowing our campfire smoke into the woods behind us, not out over the river.
We even had the lake Patrol come by a few times on trips and I know they knew we were naked by they also just waved and motored on.
I'm figuring the Lake Patrol is thinking that unless you're selling hard drugs openly or shooting at someone they have better things to do than pestering a few nekkid people on a boat minding their own business.
