Went to a nudist resort with a couple friend last year, it was a great time.

We camped out, I got there first and started setting up camp. I didn't exactly have a solid plan but I was kind of figuring I'd set up my tent first so I'd have somewhere to leave my clothes, but it was one of those hot muggy days where the second you step outside your clothes are drenched in sweat, so after about a minute of feeling gross and sweaty unloading my car I decided screw it and ditched my clothes and immediately felt so much better.

Also I'm pretty sure that literally everyone hates doing laundry. If you're not wearing clothes you don't have anything to wash and put away. It was pretty nice being away for a few days and having basically no laundry to do when I got home except the clothes I wore for the drive.

Also all-around just a very positive experience. A lot of nudists aren't exactly the kinds of people you'd necessarily want to see naked, I can pretty much guarantee that whatever you don't like about your body someone there has the same thing or worse on full display. And once you get over the initial sensory overload you pretty quickly set noticing people's bodies or the fact that they're naked.

The writer David Sedaris wrote a wonderful funny essay about staying at a nudist colony. It seems endearing.
