About this place

Forty Acre Club sits on wooded land in eastern Missouri, about an hour southwest of St. Louis. It's a member-owned naturist resort that's been around since the 1960s. The property has trails, a pool, clubhouse, and campsites scattered through the trees. Most visitors are regulars who've been coming for years, so you'll likely see familiar faces if you return. The terrain is hilly and wooded, typical for this part of Missouri. Expect some inclines if you're walking the trails. The pool area is the social center during warm months. There's also a hot tub, volleyball court, and covered pavilion for gatherings. Accommodations include RV sites with hookups, tent camping spots, and a few rental cabins. Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. This is a clothing-optional resort, meaning nudity is allowed everywhere but not required. You'll see a mix. Most people go nude at the pool and in warm weather, but you're not breaking rules if you stay clothed. It's a low-key place without a lot of programmed activities. People come to relax, not to be entertained. If you're looking for a quiet weekend in the woods where you can be nude without drama, this fits the bill.

Etiquette & ground rules

Nudity is welcome but optional. Most people go nude at the pool and around common areas in warm weather. You can stay clothed if you prefer, especially when it's cool or you're just arriving. Sit on a towel when nude, whether on chairs, benches, or poolside. No photos without explicit permission from everyone in frame—ask first, even for landscape shots. This is a private club, so respect members' privacy. Kids are welcome, and families visit regularly, so keep behavior family-appropriate. Clean up after yourself. If you're visiting for the first time, call ahead or check their website for guest policies and any scheduled events.

Cactus Canyon Campground and Resort LLC - rated #1 best nude men only campground

Cactus Canyon is a men-only clothing-optional campground tucked into the Ozark hills near Ava, Missouri. The property runs along a creek and offers a mix of tent sites, RV hookups, and a few rustic cabins. You'll find a pool, hot tub, and a small bathhouse with showers. Trails wind through the woods if you want to hike. The vibe skews social and laid-back, with fire pits and common areas where people gather in the evenings. This is a men-only space, which means the crowd is entirely male and often LGBTQ-friendly. Weekends and summer holidays draw the biggest groups. Weekdays can be quiet, sometimes just a handful of campers. The owners live on-site and keep things running. There's no restaurant or bar, so bring your own food and drinks. A small camp store sells basics like ice and firewood. The campground is open roughly April through October, weather permitting. Book ahead for holiday weekends. Off-season, the place may close entirely or operate by appointment only. Cell service is spotty. Expect Ozark terrain: hills, gravel roads, and rustic conditions. If you're looking for polished resort amenities, this isn't it. If you want a low-key spot to camp nude with other guys, Cactus Canyon delivers.
