Willamettan's

Overview

• The Willamettans is a premier clothing-optional nudist club and naturist resort, not a traditional sauna business, but featuring spa-like amenities such as a year-round hot tub and seasonal pool. Established in 1953, it spans 40 acres of serene, wooded Pacific Northwest landscape, making it the largest nudist club in the region with over 350 members.
• The overall atmosphere is wholesome, friendly, and family-oriented, emphasizing non-sexual nude recreation, community connection, and relaxation in nature. It’s volunteer-run (office staff are the only employees), with a strong focus on safety, rules adherence, and a non-discriminatory policy welcoming all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities per AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation) standards. Visitors distinguish nudity from sexuality, fostering a peaceful, liberating environment with wildlife sightings like deer and birds.

Unlike commercial spas, it’s volunteer-maintained for authenticity, with year-round hot tub access even when pool/lodge are closed seasonally.

Ideal for solos, couples, families seeking liberating escapes—clothing-optional, stress-free.
