If you’re coming to Bare Oaks this weekend, you’ll see that Kennedy Road is closed at Doane Road for construction. But that’s happening just past our driveway so you still need to access from the south end. Just ask the nice attendant to let you through. Read More →
We have had a number of incidents last summer where people using their smartphones looked like they were taking pictures. The Bare Oaks policy on photography has always welcomed picture taking as long as everyone within range gave permission. This was easy to manage when photography was only done using specific picture-taking devices. But the ubiquity of phones with built-in cameras and the fact that people are always using them has led to a great deal of consternation. To solve this problem, members and visitors are now required to have a Bare Oaks camera sticker on the lens if they will be using their smartphoneRead More →

We have been struggling for several weeks to repair a major leak under the hot tub. The biggest problem has been accessing the area in order to do the repair. After many calls, one company finally showed up and thought we wanted the hot tub completely removed. (e.g. cut out and disposed of) 😲We informed them of our actual plans so they left and never came back. 😒 A second company declined after many calls. 😞 Feeling deeply frustrated, our team decided to build a lifting rig themselves. They did a very good job so next time it will be faster. But hopefully there won’tRead More →
The pool is now open for the season! But with a new season comes new government regulations. Despite the fact that our water treatment system is fully automated, we now need to test every 4 hours to confirm that the system is actually working. Previously, testing in the morning was deemed adequate. That means that the pool can only be open when there is staff on duty to test it. This new regulation also applies to the hot tub. Pool and Hot Tub Hours: Sunday – Thursday 9am – 9:30 pm Friday & Saturday 9am – 1:30am Sunday before a holiday Monday 9am – 1:30amRead More →
You may have noticed that the dumpsters were replaced on Earth Day with these new containers. They are called Moloks. They were invented in the 1980’s in Finland. They take less space than a dumpster but hold more, are easier to access, and look better. With the new system, we now have 3 different waste receptacles: Mixed recycling Organic waste (ie. compost) Garbage for landfill The objective is to have as little of the last one as possible. Members and regular visitors will realize that the organics collection is new to us. Only include things that will rot and decompose. Please do not put plasticRead More →

We are sad to inform you that Carol Elizabeth Bean passed away on Thursday, April 4th. For five years, Carol and her husband Larry (who passed away in 2016) owned and operated The New Forest Naturist Resort which was sold in 2006 and renamed Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. Their ownership started in 2001 when they purchased the assets of Town & Country Resorts Inc out of bankruptcy. The property had once been the Toronto Helios Society and it was their plan to return it to nudism. For the next 5 years, they did a number of renovations. Of those, their most enduring legacy at the park was the creation Lake Beamor.Read More →
We are completing the electrical upgrades in Beckett Circle. Over the next few weeks, the electricians will need to turn off power to the entire park from time to time. During the work, some parts of the park could be without electricity for several hours. If you have a trailer, it is up to you to ensure that nothing will be ruined by these power outages. We will announce the specifics 24 hours ahead of time. To receive these announcements, follow our Twitter Status Updates account: https://twitter.com/BareOaksStatus You do not need a Twitter account to read the status on the website.
