Before you go
- Arriving
Call ahead to confirm your arrival time so staff can arrange an orientation tour and make sure you're welcomed properly.
- Privacy
Showers are open and shared with no privacy, so expect others may shower at the same time as you; keep showers short as water is trucked in.
- First visit
Bring water bottles, sunscreen, and two towels (one to sit on, one to dry). The sun at 7,000 feet elevation can burn surprisingly fast even when the air feels cool. If the café is closed, bring food. Bring a beach bag or backpack and sturdy hiking shoes if you plan to explore the trails.
- Prices
Be aware that pricing includes multiple components (site fees, facilities charges, resort fees, daily fees) which can feel confusing; ask the office for a clear breakdown before or during your stay to avoid billing surprises.
- At the door
Membership is required if you live within 90 miles; guests from further away can visit without joining. All visits require a background check for safety.
- Facilities
The resort offers a saltwater heated pool, hot tub, sauna, 10+ miles of hiking trails, tennis and bocce courts, horseshoes, a kids' playroom, an ice cream shop, and a clubhouse. An onsite kitchen serves meals primarily on weekends and during events.
- Food and drink
The kitchen is typically open weekends; bring snacks for weekday visits unless there is an event. Weekend meals are prepared by kitchen staff and reviewers praise the quality and variety.

Mountain Air Ranch is Colorado's only family-friendly nudist resort, established in 1935 and set on 150 acres in the foothills 20 miles southwest of Denver. The resort welcomes families, couples, and singles in a genuinely relaxed atmosphere where you can hike 10+ miles of private trails, use the heated pool and hot tub, play tennis or bocce, and join regular social events like game nights and potlucks. Most visitors describe feeling safe and comfortable from arrival onwards, with staff who make newcomers feel welcome through orientation tours; the mountain setting means excellent hiking opportunities and stunning views, though the location is remote with unpaved roads that can be rough.
A typical visit involves checking in, getting a tour of the grounds, then choosing your level of socialisation—you can be as social or solitary as you prefer. The club runs frequent family and mixed-age events with music, games, and food. The onsite kitchen serves meals weekends and during events. Membership requires a background check, which reviewers appreciate for safety. Day visitors pay fees (weekday $10, weekend $30 according to older reviews); members have unlimited access with no grounds fees.
The resort suits families, couples of any age, and solo guests looking for a genuine, welcoming nudist community rather than a party atmosphere. Overwhelmingly positive recent reviews praise the friendly people, clean facilities, and natural setting, though some visitors note the pricing structure can be confusing with multiple fees, and the roads need improvement. One couple's experience was marred by a service dog dispute, showing the resort has room to grow on disability accommodation.
- Who goes
- Families with children, couples (mostly 45+, though ages range from 30s upwards), singles, and some international visitors; mix of gay and straight couples; locals and people travelling from out of state.
- How opinion has moved
- Sentiment remained very positive through 2026, with recent guests particularly praising staff friendliness and their extended stays, though pricing confusion and road conditions were flagged as issues needing attention.
What guests love
- The welcoming, friendly staff and community atmosphere make new arrivals feel comfortable and safe from the moment they call or check in.
- The stunning natural mountain setting with 10+ miles of private hiking trails offers genuine freedom and adventure in a clothing-optional environment.
- The heated saltwater pool, hot tub, and sauna are well-maintained and relaxing, with lounge chairs and scenic views.
- The regular schedule of social events—game nights, potlucks, karaoke, jam sessions—offers something for every comfort level, from social butterflies to those who prefer quieter recreation.
- The background-check requirement and active community management create a genuinely safe space where guests feel secure and respected.
- The resort welcomes families with children, diverse couples, and all ages, creating an inclusive and non-judgmental environment that celebrates nudism as a wholesome lifestyle.
What guests complain about
- The roads within and leading to the resort are unpaved, rough, and narrow, making them difficult to navigate, especially when passing other vehicles, and unsuitable for low-clearance RVs.
- The pricing structure is confusing and fragmented, with multiple separate charges (site fees, facilities fees, resort fees, daily fees) that can lead to billing confusion and unexpected costs at checkout.
- Showers offer no privacy and are shared open spaces where multiple people shower simultaneously, which some guests find uncomfortable.
- The resort's policy regarding service animals in common areas has caused distress to disabled guests whose animals are essential for their safety and wellbeing.
- Site spacing is very tight, with only 5–6 feet between some RV spots, limiting privacy and making the park feel cramped.
- Management did not respond to a guest's attempts to discuss and resolve concerns about accessibility and disability accommodation following a negative experience.

My partner and I were headed to Valley View when we stumbled across this resort! We made some turns and called and spoke with Charlie, what a great first impression was clear, and informative and super friendly! We arrived with our dogs and she gave us a tour and made us feel comfortable. We decided on staying a week which turned into two! The breakfast/lunch and dinner by Brett and Indie was amazing! 🤩 they had some…
Nice people, great facilities
I’m 73 years old and have been RVing for over 40 years. I’ve traveled across this country from the East Coast to the West Coast and back again—twice. Along the way, I’ve stayed at RV parks in nearly every state, literally hundreds of them. With that experience, I was really looking forward to visiting Mountain Air Ranch, especially since it advertises as clothing optional. I believe there are really only three main r…
My wife and I found MAR a few years ago. It is a pleasure to spend time there. I’ve been to nudist resorts all over the world and this is one of the best. Instead of only laying around the pool one can also get exercise hiking through the foothills. Few things are better than hiking in the nude. We like the fact that is a family resort with kids who experience nudism the way I did as a kid.
Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
My experience with Mountain Air Ranch (MAR) was positive from the very start! I booked my stay several weeks in advance. On the day I was to arrive, I received a friendly call from Janet, on MAR's staff, who confirmed my arrival time to allow for the orientation tour. After checking me in, Janet gave me a good "lay of the land" tour in a golf cart. Then I moved in to Room 3 of the Lodge facility. It was so liberating…
I've felt safe, relaxed and had fun anytime I've visited MAR. New members get a background check ran and they try to have a good proportion of male and female members (males are a little higher). Staff and committee members are friendly and helpful, there's lots of fun things to get into, and you can choose whether you want to be social or just do your own thing. I especially love that the pool is saltwater and there…
I just started my membership process. I wanted to give a good (long) review of this place and give some tips/FYI of this place Everyone so far has been very friendly. Tips- Bring water bottles, sunscreen and 2 towels (1 to sit on, one to dry off with). Bring some food incase the café is closed (it's only open during the weekends). Bring a nice beach bag or backpack. Bring a good pair of shoes if you want to hike. Fyi…
