Road closure
It's starting to feel like spring. The sunlight is beginning to regain that cheery warmth that's been missing all winter.

Each time that happened, it often took weeks to get an expert to give us the solution and then a further wait for parts to arrive. I was asked this week when I thought the hot tub would be open. My answer was ...
Campsites Available
Last year, several people were disappointed to find out that there were no long-term campsites left at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. We're happy to announce that there are a few opportunities in Beckett Circle for people looking for a year-round campsite. Here are your options: 1. Take an empty site We opened several sites this year by clearing some brush and adding access to electricity & water in some areas. In addition, we had a couple of people give up their site. During the busy season, it was hard to figure out where we stood because we were always ...
