What to Expect on Your First Visit to a Nudist Resort (Like Lake Como)
Thinking about visiting a nudist resort for the first time? Whether you’re curious, excited, or just dipping a toe into nudism, you’re not alone. At Lake Como Family Nudist Resort in Florida, we welcome first-time visitors all the time — and we know how important it is to feel prepared and supported.
This guide is here to walk you through what to expect, so you can leave your worries behind and focus on enjoying the experience.
Lake Como Is Not Clothing Optional — Here’s Why That Matters
Unlike “clothing optional” resorts, Lake Como is a true naturist resort in Florida. Nudity isn’t just permitted — it’s expected in most social spaces. This helps create an atmosphere of equality, authenticity, and freedom that’s central to naturism.
Here’s what that means when you visit:
- Nudity is required in the pool, hot tub, and sundeck areas.
- Nudity is expected throughout most of the resort, though private cabins, tents, and RVs are up to your comfort level.
- Tours are conducted nude — starting your experience this way helps you feel part of the naturist community immediately.
- Towels are required whenever sitting, a respectful and universal naturist rule.
Many newcomers say their initial nerves disappear within minutes — replaced by a sense of freedom and body confidence that makes a nudist vacation unlike anything else.
What Happens When You Arrive
Checking in is simple and respectful. First-time visitors should bring a government-issued photo ID, as a quick background check is required for safety.
After check-in, our front desk team will go over the resort map, answer questions, and guide you on a short orientation tour. This helps you get comfortable with the grounds and start enjoying your nude resort experience right away.
Photography and Cell Phone Etiquette
Privacy is one of the most important parts of any family-friendly nudist resort. At Lake Como, photography is not permitted in common areas. While you may use your cell phone for practical reasons, please keep it pointed down and away from others so it’s clear you are not taking photos.
If you’d like a keepsake photo, our staff can suggest the best ways and places to capture one. As always, consent is key — whether it’s starting a conversation, sharing space, or taking a picture.
