All very helpful & happy people! Had a very relaxing experience. New to this experience, and would definitely return read more

We've been going to Turtle Lake for more than 10 years on and off (wish it could be more often). We've stayed in the lodge and now have a small motorhome. Both types of quarters have their qualities- just depends on how you like to vacation. There are so many things to do here! Beautiful indoor pool. Really nice tiki bar next to the "conversation pool", a rec building with pool, darts, cards... There are volleyball nets, shuffleboard, mini golf, pickleball courts and more! We've never stayed in one of the"park model" units, but they look lovely. There are dances on Saturday nights and themed weekends during the summer. We love it out here. A couple things to keep in mind: This is a FAMILY resort. There are a few families with kids. Sort of took me by surprise when we first visited, but everyone is very relaxed and take all things in stride. This is NOT a swingers place. No one is looking to "hook up". No one cares about the size of your butt or whether you have weird surgery scars. This is a place where everyone enjoys what you can't do most other places: relax, feel comfortable in your own skin and meet new friends. As a woman, I can honestly tell you I was freaked out about going the first time. We're taught to obsess about cellulite and wrinkles. I've never felt as confidant and comfortable as I do at TLR. It becomes obvious right away that no one judges you... about anything! Once you shed your clothes, no one can tell if your rich or making this the one vacation you can take every couple of years. You don't have to compare yourself with a anyone else on any level. And guys... don't worry about being aroused or embarrassed. After a little adjustment period, when you get used to people being friendly and smiling a lot, you just don't feel like you have to be someone you aren't either. You get to know people for who they are. It sounds corny, but you feel natural here. You appreciate people for what's inside. I'm still a little bummed that they don't have the motorcycle rallies anymore (such a blast!) but everything else keeps getting better here. ;) You should visit! Really! (Bring SUNSCREEN!) read more

It's a big resort with lots of places for tent and rustic camping (with water and electricity hook ups nearby)... It's quiet and secluded, but I found it easy to get to town to grab dinner and a few small things that I had forgot. The indoor pool and hot tub were pretty popular with the regulars, and they were very welcoming of a new guest. I did notice that the hot tub was a wee bit grimy, but not too bad. Also, the women at the front desk/office we are very friendly and accommodating. There is a quota to maintain the male to female ratio, so make sure to ask when booking your reservation. read more

Great place to go camping, fishing, swimming all in your birthday suit. It is such a natural relaxing experience to feel the sun air and water on your body. Awesome social events all summer, just bring a towel to sit on and sun tan lotion. read more

I'll say two things to kick this off. One, I am younger (24) and two, this was my first nude resort. I got to the desk, I was nervous as someone who has not gone to one of these before. I had mixed feelings on the initial lady helping me at the desk.. Not bad per say, but definitely not calming for someone who has not been. I went on the tour- Which was beautiful! I was very intimidated upon entry when I saw the first naked people. However, when I checked in and threw my clothes off I became a lot more comfortable. I ventured outside and that was my favorite part kind of anti-climactic but... it was. To be outside naked and legally at that! Anyways I made it to the clubhouse and checked out the pool and hot tub. The pool was nice and meant for volleyball.. It's nearly 5' at its deepest. I'm not a swimmer so.. I became bored with that fairly quick. The hot tub on the other hand, was fantastic. I spent many a pruning session in that thing! Facilities had an interesting scent. A scent I can only describe as "grandpa's house". Otherwise, they are pretty clean and well kept. My room was really great I had no issues with it. I do advise though, to go in the summer! It was rather sparse in it's winter hours. (which is good for newbies like myself.) Also, you can get outside in the nude if that's as huge a deal for you as it was for me- you know what I'm talking about. Okay, now for the people that I encountered. Many of them knew each other already from either living on site or being a frequent goer. But I was new and felt... awkward to be honest. I was already new... which didn't help. But I've read that a lot nudists are not fond of the young or the "single". I am not single the bf just would not attend. The people I did meet were interesting. When I had expressed that I was new, it went unacknowledged.. no welcome or anything.. Many conversational pieces included "the good old days" which is fine I do understand the general populace is older BUT! The nudists that feel that they want to ensnare a younger crowd.. well hm. I am a male by the way. To attract younger clientele somethings must change. For instance - female's first time fee's are waved... this is understandable because women generally are more uncomfortable about the scenario. But what about the rest? There are men that are just as well. And rather than paying the money to do something that they might back out of I believe that the same offer should be applied. Lastly, to attract a younger crew you'll need more than a "gym" to do so. If not opening up the freebie to men in general. Set an age limit like 30 and let people do a test run and see if they like it too. Because many younger people- just like said women also struggle with body issues and should have a chance to become devoted members as well. They have events which is nice. I will be attending again in warmer weather to finalize my thoughts. But as for my first visit. I stand by my star count and so,so rating. read more

We are another couple of "first-timers" and in that aspect, the theme of the resort is as stated and very open and friendly. We did not feel intmidated or awkward (after our inital venture into nude-ness). Members and residents were friendly and mosly welcoming. We were given a nice tour before deciding to stay or not. We chose to stay at one of the rooms on the beach area. This is where the issues we have come in to play. The beach was no place I'd swim or go near the water. Full of what I suspect to be geese or duck dung and weeds/lily pads. Not suitable for swimming. The rest of the grounds were quite nice and well kept. Nothing over-the-top or exceptional. The residents keep their plots very nice as well. The 2nd and even bigger issue was the water in our room. I have never smelled/tasted worse. The water in the clubhouse seemed ok, so there are options for showering but I would definitely bring bottled water. The wifi information wasn't given to us at check in and it turned out that it only supported laptos - I had a tablet. The satellite tv only got one channel (it rained in the evening). They have organized activities and the feeling is that of membership and community. We plan to give it another go next summer when there's more activity to see how we like it then. It would be nice to have some place to go hiking nearby. read more

We were there for the annual Music Festival. Talk about "Awsome"! Being "first timers" we were not sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming, staff & guests alike. It is a family-friendly atmosphere. No inappropriate behavior is tolerated. The facility is very clean & well-kept. We will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Great resort, been going for 17 years with my family. Great volleyball, fishing, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, indoor pool and hot tub. About 160 acres of fun. At must try. read more

Would give ZERO STARS if it would allow me....Disappointed.... was turned away at the gate... monday morning, wanted to do a couple hour visit, maybe go for a swim, and check the place out before i bring my wife... i was told they were not allowing single males due to a quota, and i would only be allowed in if i brought a female. I understand not allowing single males to stay overnight, but come on! 10 am, on a monday, for a couple hours? So, an hour drive there and back, total waste of time.. if your male, forget about going unless you have some eye candy with you... read more

We have been coming here for ten years, and they're super family friendly and nice. The staff is awesome and the rooms are good for the price. They are always having dances, activities, and festivals and holiday get togethers. My husband and I have two young sons, and we feel safe as a family. There were two other reviews I noticed where a single man was butthurt about not being allowed on property and a lady who obviously reviewed the wrong resort gave low stars. The reason couples are preferred is to keep it family friendly. Any continued lewd behavior is an immediate expulsion, so they try not to have too many unattached people there who might make unwanted advances towards others. I have never seen any sort of orgiastic behavior or heard of any giant sex parties. What people do in their own rooms is their own business, but I have never seen anything in the public areas that would make it uncomfortable for families or children to be around. read more

Our first visit was a decade earlier with our 9 year old daughter on a day visit. It was a nice experience, but life got in the way and didn't get back again. Until we were looking for some place to go over 4th of July, which happened to be the same time as the nude olympics. We were welcomed and made to feel very comfortable. The resort strictly follows AANR policies, and is a family friendly resort. There are several major events that take place during the year, such as comedy shows, water volleyball tournaments, honoring of military veterans, nude olympics, Music Fest, halloween, along with activities and dances every weekend in the summer, and roughly every other weekend in the winter. Both of our daughters (as adults) have come to visit the resort, along with their SO. New comers are made to feel welcome. The facility is clothing optional EXCEPT in pools and hot tubs. Dances with DJ, visitors dress will be from completely nude to completely dressed. read more

I've been to this resort twice now and two others in Michigan once each. This resort has the nicest facilities so far with an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, miniature golf, volleyball courts Tennis courts, Golf pins for chipping practice and/or disc golf (no baskets) and a rustic hiking trail. The members are all friendly and I agree in the 45-55 range, rental cabins, RV sites and rustic camping sites are available with several public showers/restrooms available for the general public. They host a naked 5K run in late June that's a lot of fun and brings in a bunch of the extended general public which includes a bunch of younger, athletic people who can run in various stages of undress. It's a fun event and includes a walking event too. Very strict adherence to AANR guidelines for nudist resorts (no public displays of affection) so it creates a nice, safe environment for novices, families and true nudists not looking for a crazy swingers environment. They do occasionally have a small kitchen open in the clubhouse and a cantina by the outside pool that serves food but not always. I enjoy the place and just made reservation for this years 5K. I hope this helps. read more
