Our intro to Nudist Campgrounds...WHAT??
On our way to Montreal we see a sign for the Centre Naturiste D.S.A. Upon further investigation, we find out it's the Family Nudist Campground. Bob was pretty mad when I told him we WERE NOT staying at the Family Nudist Campground but we were staying at the KOA (which has a new meaning for me - Keep On Attire.) So now, Bob thinks he is going to be doing all future campground reservations.......Over My Clothed Body!
I suggested we buy him a little tent and drop him off at the campground with extra sunscreen and bug spray, Sam and I will pick him up later.
So I had to do a little research on this....
As it turns out there at quite a few Naturist Campsites in Canada and the US!
- According to the Naturism Directory in Canada: Naturism (Nudism) was perhaps started by a religious sect called the Doukhobors. Russian migrants to Western Canada. The first Naturist club to open in Canada was the Van Tan Club in 1939 in North Vancouver and is still open today.
- According to SpotNaked.com: Nudism in the US was introduced by German immigrants in the 1930's with the establishment of Sky Farm in New Jersey as the first camp. According to Spot Naked, Nudism is on the rise!
