Fern Hills Club

A family nudist club active for more than seventy years in a valley surrounded by 83 acres of hardwood forest in the hills of south-central Indiana, near Bloomington. The heart of the club is an unusual 52-foot circular pool overlooking the sunbathing lawn; around it are volleyball, miniten, shuffleboard and pétanque courts, a new clubhouse with a stage for seasonal events, a restaurant open at weekends and kilometres of woodland trails you can walk or ride in a golf cart. You stay on tent and RV sites with water and electricity or in the club's recently renovated motel. It is a 100% AANR club: all members must belong to the association, and visits must be arranged in advance by phone (mandatory for singles). Well-kept gardens, a beautiful pool and a warm welcome are the points guests mention most; some hint at group dynamics that are somewhat closed towards newcomers.
