About this place
Wildwood Naturist's Resort sits on 40 acres of rolling Texas countryside near Decatur, about an hour northwest of Fort Worth. It's a member-owned cooperative, which means the people who use it also run it. You'll find a clubhouse, swimming pool, hot tub, and volleyball court, plus RV sites and tent camping areas scattered throughout the property. The terrain is typical North Texas: some trees, open fields, and enough space that you won't feel crowded even on busy weekends. This is a family-friendly resort with a laid-back atmosphere. Kids run around freely, adults socialize by the pool, and people generally do their own thing. Weekends see more activity, with potlucks and casual get-togethers. Weekdays can be quiet, sometimes just a handful of campers. The facilities are well-maintained but not fancy. Think functional and comfortable rather than luxury. First-timers often worry about what to expect. The reality is pretty ordinary: people swimming, reading, playing games. Most visitors are couples or families who've been coming for years. Solo visitors are welcome, though single men should call ahead as policies vary depending on membership status. The resort screens visitors to maintain a safe environment. If you're nervous, visit during a weekend event when there's more activity and it's easier to blend in.
Etiquette & ground rules
Nudity is required in pool and hot tub areas, optional elsewhere on the grounds. Always carry a towel to sit on—this is non-negotiable for hygiene reasons. Photography is strictly prohibited unless you have explicit permission from everyone who might appear in the shot. Kids are present, so watch your language and behavior accordingly. The resort has a no-alcohol policy in common areas, though you can drink at your own campsite. Respect personal space and don't stare. If you want to talk to someone, just say hello like you would anywhere else. Clean up after yourself, especially in shared facilities.

Hippie Hollow Park
Texas's only legally clothing-optional public park, perched on a rocky cove of Lake Travis northwest of Austin. Operated by Travis County Parks since 1985, Hippie Hollow is 18-and-over only and has been continuously nudist for half a century. The shoreline is limestone — no sand — with a series of terraced ledges that step down to the water. Bring water shoes. On hot weekends the cove fills with boats anchoring offshore.

Matagorda Beach
The Matagorda Peninsula is a long, undeveloped barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast west of Galveston, where limited road access and low population density have created the conditions for an informal clothing-optional tradition at several remote stretches. Matagorda County's Gulf-facing beaches see a fraction of the traffic that Galveston handles, and the isolated nature of the peninsula means that once you're out of sight of the main access points, you have genuine solitude. The C/O areas are not posted or officially designated — they've developed through the accumulated practice of Texas coast naturists who have explored the less-trafficked sections of the barrier island system. The beach itself is classic Texas Gulf Coast: flat, sandy, shell-strewn, with warm shallow water and the rhythmic low surf typical of the Texas coast's protected Gulf configuration. Access to the more remote sections requires either a long beach drive (4WD recommended) or a boat. The Matagorda Bay area between the peninsula and the mainland has extensive shallow-water fishing and birding, and the outer beach is prime for solitude.

McFaddin Beach
McFaddin Beach is part of the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf Coast southwest of Port Arthur, in Jefferson County. The beach fronts the Gulf of Mexico along a long, flat, remote stretch of coast that is among the least-visited shoreline in Texas — accessible only by a single paved road and then by driving the beach itself. The NWR status limits development and keeps motorized traffic managed, but beach driving is permitted. The isolation of McFaddin Beach — an hour from Beaumont, two hours from Houston — has created the conditions for an informal C/O tradition that Texas Southeast coast naturists have long known about. The beach is wide, flat, and exposed, with warm Gulf water and regular shorebird activity. It's not a social scene — this is a place for people who want an empty Texas beach and are willing to drive to find one. The refuge hosts significant wildlife including alligators in the adjacent marshes, migratory waterfowl in winter, and nesting colonial water birds in spring. The juxtaposition of wild coastal habitat and remote beach access defines the McFaddin experience.
