About this place
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.
Etiquette & ground rules
Clothing is optional in designated areas, though most members go nude around the pool, hot tub, and sunbathing spaces. A towel to sit on is required for hygiene—bring a few. Photography is strictly prohibited without explicit permission from everyone in the frame, and even then it's discouraged in common areas. This is a family-friendly environment, so behavior should be appropriate around all ages. Alcohol is typically allowed in moderation, but check current club policies. Respect quiet hours if you're camping overnight. First-time visitors should check in at the office or clubhouse upon arrival and follow any orientation guidelines provided.

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.

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.
