Bare Oaks' photostream  

Bare Oaks is a year-round naturist park near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It’s a place where the entire family may experience traditional naturist values in a modern setting. We are nestled amongst the natural wilderness of the Ontario Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine. Bare Oaks offers day-use memberships and seasonal campsites but also welcomes visitors and travelers.

By traditional values, we mean that we recognize that many naturist clubs have lost the philosophy of naturism. To many, it is only an occasional recreational activity and represents simply an alternative to wearing a bathing suit. Gone are the social, psychological, environmental, and moral aspects of the movement. While we don’t want to revert to the days of mandatory calisthenics, vegetarianism, and alcohol/tobacco bans, we do want to reintroduce naturism as a philosophy and a way of life. That’s not for everyone; but since there are many alternatives out there, we don’t feel any need to apologize for it.

The modern setting refers to the fact that many clubs are behind the times when it comes to services, facilities, and customer service. Fully serviced campsites, a staffed office open regular hours, salt-water pool and hot tub, wireless internet service, computerized reservations / point-of-sale system are just a few of the initial improvements we made, with many more to come.

Among our 50 acres are 19 acres of conservation land and 13 acres of untouched forest. We enjoy two ponds, one small spring-fed lake, two streams, and a river. On the grounds are over a hundred camping sites most of which have water and 30 amp electrical hook-up. Several sites have direct sewage connection, while others use our mobile pump-out service.

The clubhouse is open year-round and acts as the centre of our park, where most services are concentrated. Here you may find the park office; six motel rooms; a store for purchase of food, ice, and merchandise; a sunning and socializing deck and lawns; a lounge with sofas, satellite TV, and fireplace; two saunas — one dry and one for steam; an indoor hot tub; a solar-heated outdoor swimming pool; an exercise room; massage, facials, manicures, and pedicures; billiard room; the New Forest hall, where events are held; a laundromat; lockers; and washrooms and showers.

Activities at Bare Oaks are limited only by your imagination. Members and visitors alike enjoy our property for relaxing, socializing, swimming, walking, bicycling, volleyball, petanque, horseshoes, children’s playground, BBQ, bonfires, dinner/dance, tournaments, and more.
