Founded in 1933, the Lake O’ The Woods Club in Valparaiso, Indiana is the second-longest operating naturist club in the U.S.A. The club is set around a beautiful spring-fed 20 acre lake on 130 acres of hilly, forested terrain. Our facilities include a clubhouse with two kitchens (one for guest use, the other for cooking for large groups at club events), an outdoor pool, indoor hot tub, two sandy beaches with sun decks about half a mile apart on the lake, and a small dog beach. The lake is great for swimming, boating, and fishing, and it has hiking trails all around it through a forest full of wildlife. Come see for yourself!
As a cooperative club, Lake O' the Woods Club welcomes folks and friends from the world-wide nudist community but has no regular staff or office, so we ask your patience when signing in! Visitors are welcome during the season when there is a Gatekeeper on duty (between 9 AM and 9 PM every day; with limited entry after 6 PM) to greet them and offer hospitality and a tour if time allows.
We welcome inquiries regarding visiting, camping, membership and reservations for accommodations for the summer. This website covers most questions you may have, but if you want to speak with someone call 219-477-6643 or 219-241-0739 and leave a brief message and we'll get back to you.

Quite the exceptional place. The people are friendly and the club makes you forget that you're anywhere near Chicago! Awesome lake with water activities like paddle boats, kayaks, and a small sailboat. We haven't hiked the trail yet but that gives us something to do next time!
So, I had an opportunity to spend a few days at the club. Absolutely wonderful. From the initial welcome to everyone I met, a spirit of acceptance by everyone. You could not ask for a better place to be.
My camp, in the "primitive" tent section was wonderful. Pperfect quiet nights and a short walk to the pool and activities.
I'll definitely be returning. Love this place.
I met so many friendly people who went out of their way to welcome me. I'm very grateful for the experience! There is so much to do a well!
This was our first time ever! The people were so kind and welcoming and it’s absolutely beautiful and so peaceful! Clean and well kept to boot! We will definitely be going back time and time again!
