Clothing Optional Sandy Island
Sandy Island is an informal clothing-optional river beach along the Columbia River near Bridal Veil, about 30 minutes east of Portland. This isn't a resort or developed facility — it's a sandy strip with driftwood, river access, and not much else. Clothing-optional use happens informally here, mostly during warm months when people looking for a low-key, unstructured day in the sun show up. You won't find restrooms, lifeguards, signage, or formal amenities of any kind. Oregon has a tolerant stance toward casual naturist use on certain beaches and river access points, and Sandy Island fits that pattern: it's essentially public land where social nude use has become quietly accepted over time. The experience is simple — spread out a towel on the sand, swim in the Columbia, and enjoy the riverside setting. The current can be strong depending on the season and dam releases upstream, so test the water carefully before committing. Parking is limited and informal along the roadside, and the beach can feel quite secluded on weekdays. Summer weekends bring more visitors, though it's still more of a locals' spot than a destination. If you're expecting infrastructure, guaranteed privacy, or a curated naturist experience, you'll be disappointed. This is river access, plain and simple, with the added freedom to go clothing-optional if you choose.

Collins Beach (clothing optional)
Collins Beach sits on Sauvie Island in the Columbia River, about 10 miles northwest of downtown Portland. It's Oregon's most popular clothing-optional beach and one of the few officially recognized by local authorities — a rarity in the Pacific Northwest, where legal naturist spaces are limited. The beach stretches along a sandy shoreline backed by cottonwood trees and brush, providing natural screening from the parking area. You'll find a mix of sand and some rocky patches closer to the water. The beach faces northeast, so expect morning sun and afternoon shade from the tree line. Swimming is possible but the Columbia's current can be strong, so most visitors stick to wading or sunbathing on the sand. Summer weekends draw the biggest crowds, sometimes hundreds of people on hot days, making it more of a social scene than a secluded retreat. Weekdays and shoulder season offer much quieter visits. As a public beach with no facilities, it's entirely self-service — pack in what you need and pack out your trash. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, typical of West Coast naturist beaches where clothing-optional use has been tolerated for decades.
Oregon, USA
Glass Bar Nude Beach
Glass Bar Nude Beach is a small, clothing-optional river beach on the McKenzie River, roughly 20 miles west of Eugene. This is not an ocean beach — you're looking at rocky banks, cold clear water, and patches of sandy gravel along a fast-moving river. The McKenzie runs cold year-round, fed by Cascade snowmelt, so most people come to sunbathe on the rocks rather than swim for long. During summer months, you'll find sunbathers wading in the shallows or stretched out on smooth river stones. Access requires a short, steep hike down from Bloomberg Road, and there are no facilities — no restrooms, no signage, no amenities of any kind. This is public-land nudity in its most informal form, tolerated by local custom rather than codified in law. The beach sees light use compared to Oregon's better-known naturist spots like Rooster Rock or Collins Beach. Visitors tend to be college students from Eugene, local naturists who know the spot, and occasional word-of-mouth travelers. The vibe is low-key and unstructured — people show up, find a sunny rock, and relax. Parking is informal along the roadside. The setting is pretty, surrounded by forested hills and the sound of rushing water, but it's not a destination you'd travel across the state for.
Oregon, USA
Rooster Rock Nude Beach
Rooster Rock sits along the Columbia River about 25 miles east of Portland, inside a state park that draws both textile and naturist visitors. The clothing-optional area occupies the eastern end of the beach, marked by signs and separated from the main park. You'll find a sandy shoreline with scattered driftwood, calm river water for swimming, and views of the gorge cliffs across the water. The beach runs maybe half a mile, with plenty of space to spread out even on busy summer weekends. Water depth is gentle — you can wade out pretty far before it gets deep. Wind picks up in the afternoon, which keeps things cool but can kick up sand. Parking is a short walk through cottonwood trees. This is an official state park beach, so facilities are maintained and rangers patrol occasionally. The nude section has been recognized since the 1970s, making it one of the Pacific Northwest's most established clothing-optional beaches. It's purely a day-use area — no overnight camping in the naturist section. Because it's state parkland, access is straightforward and affordable compared to private resorts. The Columbia River Gorge location means you're surrounded by dramatic scenery, though summer can bring crowds from the Portland metro area.
Oregon, USA
Bagby Hot Springs
Bagby Hot Springs sits deep in the Mount Hood National Forest, about 1.5 hours southeast of Portland in the Clackamas River watershed. This is not a resort or commercial operation — it's a Forest Service site with primitive facilities maintained largely by volunteers. You'll hike 1.5 miles on a well-maintained trail through old-growth forest to reach a cluster of hand-built cedar soaking tubs fed by natural hot springs. The setup is rustic: three bathhouses with individual tubs and one communal tub, all gravity-fed from the spring source. No electricity, no attendants on-site, just trail access and pit toilets. Clothing is optional and widely practiced, especially in the private tubs. The water runs hot — around 136°F at the source — so tubs fill slowly and you control temperature by adjusting the flow with wooden plugs. Weekends and holidays draw crowds; midweek mornings offer your best chance at solitude. This is one of Oregon's most accessible natural hot springs, which means it's loved hard. Expect a wait for tubs on busy days. The Forest Service requires a Northwest Forest Pass for parking. Pack out everything you bring in.
Oregon, USA
McCredie Springs
McCredie Springs is a natural hot spring near the South Fork of the Willamette River, about 50 miles southeast of Eugene in Lane County's Cascade foothills. The springs consist of two pools at the edge of the river — a hot pool on the east bank of Salt Creek and a cooler pool on the west bank — allowing visitors to alternate between soaking temperatures. The river is immediately accessible for cooling off. Clothing-optional nudity has been the standard at McCredie for decades and is broadly accepted on the Forest Service land that surrounds the springs. The setting is Pacific Northwest old-growth: Douglas fir, western red cedar, ferns, and the characteristic green that defines the Cascades west slope. The springs are managed by the Willamette National Forest. McCredie is near Oakridge, Oregon, on Highway 58 (the road connecting Eugene and US 97 via Willamette Pass). Oakridge has become a destination for mountain biking in recent years, and the McCredie Springs visit pairs naturally with a day on the area's trail network.

Terwilliger Hot Springs
Terwilliger Hot Springs — more commonly known as Cougar Hot Springs — sits in the Willamette National Forest about an hour east of Eugene, Oregon. It's one of the Pacific Northwest's most popular clothing-optional hot springs, managed by the US Forest Service as a day-use area. The site features five natural soaking pools cascading down a forested hillside, each progressively cooler as water flows downward. Temperatures range from around 108°F in the uppermost pool to the mid-90s in the lower pools, making it easy to find your comfort zone. A quarter-mile trail from the parking area winds through old-growth forest before dropping into a rocky, fern-draped ravine where the pools are tucked. Moss-covered logs and dense foliage create an intimate, cathedral-like atmosphere. Clothing-optional use is the longstanding norm here and widely accepted, though you'll occasionally encounter textile visitors who aren't aware of the culture. The springs are open year-round, but winter access depends on road conditions — snow can close the access road from late fall through spring. The Forest Service charges a day-use fee at the trailhead. This is public land, not a commercial resort, so there are no amenities beyond vault toilets near the parking area. Pack out everything you bring in.
Oregon, USA
Umpqua Hot Springs
Umpqua Hot Springs sits on a hillside above the North Umpqua River in Oregon's Cascade Range, roughly two hours east of Eugene. It's one of the Pacific Northwest's most accessible clothing-optional hot springs, managed by the Umpqua National Forest but left in its natural state. You'll find a series of hand-built rock pools terraced into the slope, each holding different temperatures—upper pools run hottest (sometimes uncomfortably so), while lower pools mix more river-cooled runoff. The setting is striking: soaking means looking out over a forested river canyon, often with no sound but water and wind. There are no buildings, no attendants, no fees beyond the parking pass. The site operates on an honor system. Regular visitors informally maintain the pools by repositioning rocks after winter floods rearrange things. Clothing-optional is the established norm here, and most people go nude. The springs attract a steady flow of both locals and travelers, especially on weekends and summer evenings. Because it's primitive and unfenced, the experience depends entirely on the weather, the season, and who else is there. You pack out what you pack in. The trail from the lot is short but steep—about a third of a mile uphill through forest.

Alpenglow Ranch Clothing Optional B&B
Alpenglow Ranch is a small, owner-operated clothing-optional bed and breakfast on 40 acres in the high desert outside Bend, Oregon. Unlike AANR resorts or clothing-optional campgrounds, this is a private retreat—think intimate B&B rather than social club. The property sits in Deschutes County with views of the Cascade Mountains, offering a quieter naturist experience for guests who want solitude and scenery over organized activities or pools. Oregon's naturist scene is smaller and more scattered than California's or the Southwest's, so places like Alpenglow fill a niche for travelers seeking low-key, rural nudity without the resort infrastructure. You'll find outdoor spaces where clothing is optional, but amenities are basic—expect the focus to be on the landscape, stargazing, and privacy rather than hot tubs or social programming. The high desert climate is ideal in summer (warm days, cool nights) but harsh in winter, so most visitors come between late spring and early fall. Because it operates as a bed and breakfast, capacity is limited and advance booking is essential. The ranch caters to couples and solo travelers looking for a clothing-optional overnight stay in a natural setting, not a day-use destination or party scene. Contact the owners directly for current rates, availability, and any specific house rules.
Oregon, USA
Serenity Mountain Retreat
Serenity Mountain Retreat is a family-friendly naturist campground tucked into the Cascade foothills about an hour southeast of Portland, near the small town of Estacada in Clackamas County. It's one of Oregon's handful of established clothing-optional camping destinations, offering both RV sites with hookups and tent camping scattered through wooded property. The elevation keeps summers pleasant—rarely oppressive—while winters can occasionally see snow, though the retreat stays open year-round. Trails wind through the forested acreage if you want to explore on foot. The setting is rustic: Douglas firs, natural undergrowth, and privacy between sites rather than resort-style landscaping. This is the kind of place where families bring kids, couples come for quiet weekends, and the atmosphere leans low-key rather than party-oriented. If you're new to social nudity, the family presence can either feel reassuring or take some getting used to, depending on what you expected. Oregon's naturist scene is smaller and more dispersed than, say, California's, so places like this serve as regional hubs for people who value outdoor time without clothes. It's not fancy—don't expect pools or hot tubs—but if you want forest bathing in the literal sense and a chance to camp nude without driving to the coast, it fills that niche.
Oregon, USA
Mountaindale Sun Resort
Mountaindale Sun Resort is a members-only naturist club spread across 40 wooded acres in Oregon's Tualatin Valley, about 30 miles west of Portland. It occupies a quiet spot in Washington County where the valley meets the foothills of the Coast Range, offering a mix of open grassy clearings and forested trails with gentle elevation changes. The property includes a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, volleyball and tennis courts, and a clubhouse with kitchen facilities. Accommodations are rustic: tent camping, RV sites, and a handful of small cabins scattered around the grounds. This is a long-established club in the AANR network, drawing mostly families and retired couples who've been regulars for years. Day passes and trial visits are typically available if you reach out ahead of time, making it accessible for first-timers curious about the Pacific Northwest naturist scene. The atmosphere is unpretentious and low-key—think well-maintained co-op rather than resort polish. Cell service can be unreliable in parts of the property. Summer weekends are the busiest season, when families fill the pool area and the volleyball courts see steady action.
Oregon, USA
The Rogue Suncatchers
The Rogue Suncatchers is a members-only naturist club in southern Oregon's Rogue Valley, near Medford. It's a small, community-run organization typical of many non-landed or low-infrastructure clubs scattered across the western United States — places where members pool resources to create a private space for social nudity without the commercial polish of a destination resort. You won't find heated pools, spa facilities, or on-site dining here. Instead, the Rogue Suncatchers offers what many longtime naturists value most: a relaxed, unpretentious environment where people gather to socialize, sunbathe, and enjoy outdoor recreation clothing-free. The atmosphere tends to be DIY and cooperative, with members pitching in to maintain the property and organize occasional gatherings or potlucks. This is not a drop-in facility — you'll need to join the club or arrange a visit as a guest of an existing member, which is standard practice for private naturist clubs throughout the country. Southern Oregon's climate offers warm, dry summers ideal for outdoor nudity, though spring and fall can be variable. The Rogue Valley itself sits between the Cascade and Siskiyou mountain ranges, providing a scenic backdrop. If you're exploring naturist options in Oregon beyond the well-known coastal beaches, member clubs like this one represent the social core of the inland naturist community — smaller, less visible, but deeply valued by their participants.
Oregon, USA
Hidden Springs
Hidden Springs is a member-owned naturist cooperative sitting on 45 acres of forested land about 45 minutes northwest of Portland. Established in the 1970s, it's run entirely by its members—this is a volunteer-operated club, not a commercial resort with paid staff. The property features a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and a clubhouse where potlucks and community events take place. Members can lease sites for small cabins or RVs, while day visitors are also welcome. Trails wind through the Douglas fir forest, typical of the Pacific Northwest landscape. The terrain gets muddy in winter and spring, and cell service is spotty in places. This is one of the older established naturist venues in Oregon, part of a small network of Pacific Northwest clubs that emerged in the 1970s cooperative movement. The atmosphere is community-focused and low-key—don't expect amenities or services beyond what the volunteer membership maintains. The social calendar revolves around member-organized gatherings and seasonal events. It's a place that rewards regulars who contribute to the upkeep and social fabric, rather than drop-in visitors looking for resort-style convenience.
Oregon, USA
Willamettans, Inc
Willamettans is a member-owned naturist club tucked into the forested hills east of Eugene, Oregon. It operates as a private, family-friendly resort on about 30 acres of land near the small town of Marcola. You'll find a mix of amenities including a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and a clubhouse with a kitchen and social spaces. The grounds include RV hookups, tent camping areas, and some cabins for overnight stays. The property has trails through the surrounding woods if you want to explore beyond the main facilities. This is a members-only club, though visitors can arrange day passes or trial visits through advance contact. Willamettans has been around since 1961, so it carries that established, community-focused feel common to older naturist clubs. Expect a quieter, social atmosphere rather than a resort with constant activities. People come here to relax, swim, and spend time with friends in a low-key setting. The Oregon climate means the pool and facilities are most active from late spring through early fall. Winters are rainy and cool, so off-season visits are possible but less common. If you're new to social nudity or considering membership, reaching out ahead of time is essential—this isn't a drop-in kind of place. The club organizes occasional events and potlucks, but day-to-day it's simply a peaceful spot to enjoy naturism in a wooded, rural setting.
