About this place
Travelites is a member-owned nudist club located in Hopkins, South Carolina, about 20 minutes southeast of Columbia. This is a smaller, community-focused spot where regulars know each other and newcomers are welcomed once they go through the membership process. The property includes basic amenities like a pool, clubhouse, and RV sites, but don't expect resort-level facilities. This is more of a low-key retreat where people come to relax without clothes in a quiet, wooded setting. The club operates on a membership model, so you'll need to contact them ahead of time if you're interested in visiting. Day passes for non-members may be available, but policies can vary. Check their Facebook page or call before showing up. The atmosphere skews toward an older crowd and long-time naturists, so it's not a party scene. Think quiet weekends, potlucks, and folks who've been coming here for years. Hopkins is rural, so plan accordingly. There's not much nearby in terms of food or supplies, so bring what you need. The property is private and gated, which means you won't accidentally wander in. If you're new to social nudity, this kind of small club can feel either welcoming or intimidating depending on how comfortable you are introducing yourself. People here generally appreciate when you make an effort to chat and participate.
Etiquette & ground rules
Introduce yourself when you arrive. Small clubs like this rely on familiarity, and people will wonder who you are if you don't. Always carry a towel to sit on, especially around the pool and common areas. No phones or cameras out in common spaces unless you've asked permission from everyone visible. Respect that this is a private club with its own rules, which may include dress codes in certain areas like the dining room. If you're visiting for the first time, ask about any specific guidelines when you check in. Don't assume the same rules from other clubs apply here.

Carolina Foothills Resort
Carolina Foothills Resort is a 90-acre adults-only naturist property in the South Carolina Upstate, just south of the North Carolina line and about 20 minutes from Spartanburg. It's part of the network of member-owned and commercially run resorts scattered across the Southeast, occupying a middle ground between the more rustic campgrounds and the larger destination resorts. The landscape here is classic Piedmont foothills: rolling terrain, a mix of wooded and open areas, and distant mountain views on clear days. The social hub is the main pool and hot tub area, with a quieter second pool for those wanting less bustle. A clubhouse houses a restaurant and bar that operate on weekends and during events. You'll find the usual resort amenities like volleyball and tennis courts, walking trails, and a small pond. Accommodations span the spectrum from full-hookup RV sites to rental cabins and a handful of lodge rooms. A portion of the property is deeded lots, so you'll see a mix of weekend visitors and long-term members with their own trailers or park models. Weekends ramp up with live music, potlucks, and themed social events. Weekdays are quieter, appealing to those who prefer a low-key vibe. It's the kind of place that draws repeat visitors who value the balance of amenities and relaxed Southern hospitality.

Travelites Nudist Retreat
Travelites Nudist Retreat is a member-owned AANR club tucked into the wooded countryside near Hopkins, South Carolina, about 40 minutes southeast of Columbia. It's a classic example of the nonprofit cooperative model that anchors much of the US naturist landscape—run by members, for members, with a low-key community feel that stands in contrast to the commercial resort experience. The property sits on rural acreage along Horrell Hill Road and caters mainly to couples and families who prefer a casual, social atmosphere over amenities-driven recreation. You'll find a pool and clubhouse as the main gathering points, along with open lawn areas and shade under the pines. There's no on-site lodging or restaurant, so plan for day visits or bring what you need for a picnic. Most activity happens on weekends, especially during organized events like potlucks, holiday gatherings, or themed parties. The grounds are maintained by volunteers, so expect a cooperative, pitch-in vibe rather than staff service. Travelites operates on a membership basis, but guests can typically visit with a sponsoring member or inquire about trial passes if you're exploring the club for the first time. It's the kind of place where regulars know each other by name and newcomers are welcomed into the fold with minimal fuss.

Creek Streakers
Creek Streakers is a member-owned naturist club tucked into the wooded countryside near Dalzell, South Carolina, about twenty minutes from Sumter. Unlike commercial resorts, this is a grassroots social club—owned and operated by its members, so the atmosphere is informal and community-focused rather than polished or resort-like. The property takes its name from the creek that runs through the wooded grounds, providing a natural setting for weekend gatherings and seasonal events. You'll find basic facilities like a clubhouse and bathrooms, along with open areas for sunbathing and socializing, but don't expect amenities like pools, hot tubs, or on-site dining. This is a place where members come to relax among friends, not to be entertained. South Carolina's naturist scene is relatively small and dispersed compared to states like Florida or California, so clubs like Creek Streakers serve as important local hubs for people who prefer clothing-optional recreation without traveling hours to the coast. Because it's member-operated, access isn't casual—you can't just drop by. First-time visitors typically need to contact the club in advance (their Facebook group is the main communication channel) to inquire about guest policies or day passes. If you're looking for a low-key, woods-and-water setting with a neighborly vibe rather than a commercial experience, and you're willing to navigate the membership process, Creek Streakers offers a quiet alternative in the South Carolina Midlands.
