Before you go
- Parking
The club's own website says ample secure car parking is available, including disabled spaces.
- Arriving
You must pre-arrange your visit in advance—the club does not admit unannounced visitors. Trial visits for first-timers are offered on Sunday afternoons, and you'll receive detailed directions and access instructions when you book.
- Privacy
This is a members-only club, so the grounds are peaceful and populated only by known and trusted people; the club's own website emphasises this is deliberately designed to protect members' safety and comfort.
- First visit
Contact the club via its trial visit enquiry form to arrange a free no-obligation Sunday afternoon visit; the Membership Secretary will make you feel at ease and help you get the most from your first experience.
- Facilities
The club's own website lists heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools (both available year-round), a sauna with plunge pool in the former stable block, a conservatory, a well-equipped kitchen for preparing food, a tea bar selling ice creams and hot and cold drinks, clean showers and toilets, four mini-tennis courts (one suitable for tennis), ten boules pistes, and regular yoga and aqua-aerobics sessions.
- Food and drink
The club's own website mentions a well-equipped kitchen where visitors may prepare their own food, and a tea bar selling ice creams and hot and cold drinks.

Diogenes Sun Club is an established naturist members' club set on six acres of landscaped grounds in the Chiltern Hills near Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, just off the M25. It's one of the very few UK naturist clubs with both heated indoor and outdoor pools open year-round, plus a sauna, extensive lawns for sunbathing, and facilities for camping and caravanning. A visit means spending time swimming, relaxing on the grounds, enjoying activities like yoga and boules, and experiencing the close community spirit that comes from members jointly running the club since 1964.
The club welcomes both members and pre-arranged visitors on trial visits (offered on Sunday afternoons). Reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, and excellent facilities—the heated pools and sauna are particular highlights, as is the beautiful house with its conservatory and well-equipped kitchen. The grounds offer both open lawns and more secluded spots, giving you flexibility in how social or private you want to be.
This venue suits couples and families new to naturism or looking for a welcoming, well-maintained space away from the bustle of leisure centres. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with visitors describing it as a „gem“ and a „best-kept secret,“ though it's clear the club takes its members-only ethos seriously to protect everyone's peace and privacy.
- Who goes
- Members and pre-arranged trial visitors, including families and couples new to naturism; a mix of locals and those travelling from further afield.

I want to try this
We had a wonderful time at Diogenes twice. What a gem of a naturist campsite. We didn't have the best weather, so the beautiful house with its conservatory, indoor pool, fantastic kitchen, etc., was a godsend. I made grateful use of the large heated outdoor pool almost every day. We felt very welcome. All the members treated us like one of their own. We don't understand why more people from the surrounding area don't…
We hebben 2x een hele fijne tijd gehad op Diogenes. Wat een parel van een naturistencamping. Wij hadden niet het beste weer dus was het prachtige huis met zijn serre, binnenzwembad, fantastische keuken etc. een uitkomst. Van het verwarmde grote buitenzwembad heb ik bijna elke dag dankbaar gebruik gemaakt. We voelde ons erg welkom. Alle members behandelde ons als een van hen. We begrijpen niet dat er niet meer mensen…
Best kept secret. To good to share.lol
