Now open for visitors through late October, Solair Recreation League in Woodstock is a family-oriented resort and campground where people of all ages can relax and discover the freedom of recreation without clothing.

Nudists (also known as naturists) have long held that nudism offers significant psychological benefits, such as improved body acceptance and confidence. Now a scientific study in the Journal of Happiness Studies has measurably demonstrated that, “individuals do experience increases in positive body-image, self-esteem and life satisfaction after participating in real naturist activities.” The key, it was found, is getting naked around strangers—that is, social nudity.

Located on 360 secluded acres in Woodstock, Solair has been continuously owned and run by its members since 1934. Facilities include a solar-heated pool, pond with sandy beach, café, pickleball and volleyball courts, a pavilion and community center with activities every weekend, children’s events and more. Accommodations include rental cottages, tenting and RV sites.

Solair is an inclusive community of people from all walks of life, and of all shapes and sizes. In its safe, non-judgmental and wholesome environment, all are welcome to visit and experience clothing-free relaxation and recreation. First-time visitors are encouraged to come on weekends, if possible. All visitors must provide picture identification, and agree to sexual and criminal background checks.
