Rock Lodge Club is one of America's oldest naturist communities, founded in 1932 and nestled on 140 acres in New Jersey's Ramapo Mountains, about an hour from Manhattan. The club centres on a spring-fed lake ideal for swimming and non-motorized boating, with hot tubs, saunas, hiking trails, and activities like tennis and pickleball. Days here feel deeply relaxing—visitors describe napping naked on loungers, reading by the water, or hiking marked forest trails, with a strong emphasis on genuine community and no judgment rather than spectacle or partying.
Most visitors report feeling warmly welcomed, especially on their first visit, and many join as members after one trip. The atmosphere is genuinely family-oriented; reviewers note children playing in the lake while parents read nearby, and an overall sense of people who know each other and make newcomers feel included. The grounds are well-maintained and peaceful, with reasonable day fees that include amenities.
Overwhelming praise suggests this is a thoughtful, authentic naturist retreat for couples and families seeking connection to nature and community. One recent poor experience suggests occasional staff lapses, but 52 of 60 reviews are five stars. The club's own website emphasises an inclusive environment regardless of age, race, sexual orientation or gender identity, though this remains a work in progress in practice.
- Who goes
- Naturist couples and families, mostly locals or regular members from the northeast US; generally middle-aged and older, though families with children also visit.
- How opinion has moved
- Overwhelmingly positive recent reviews (2025–2026) contrast sharply with one negative 2026 experience, suggesting inconsistent staff training rather than a broader decline.
What guests love
- The spring-fed lake and its peaceful, natural setting with hiking trails offer genuine relaxation and connection to nature.
- The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming and free of judgment, making newcomers feel comfortable from their first visit.
- The community is friendly, family-focused, and knows each other well, so new visitors feel invited to belong rather than just tolerated.
- Amenities like the sauna, hot tub, lake swimming, and boats are all included in reasonable day fees.
- The grounds are well-maintained, peaceful, and perfectly sized—intimate enough to feel like a real community but not so small as to feel claustrophobic.
- Many couples enjoy it so much they join as members within months of their first visit.
What guests complain about
- One recent visitor reported feeling judged and excluded by staff, who were dismissive and seemingly disgusted when answering basic questions about parking and facilities.
- The experience of diversity at the club may fall short of the welcoming, inclusive values stated on the website.

I felt judged and excluded. The workers were not inviting nor attentive. The workers looked at me with disgust as I was asking how do I access tickets. Attitude was filled disgusted.I was confused & felt nervous because of how intentionally aggressive I was talked to. Asking me where did I come from. I was just asking where do I park & where’s the lake. I’m not surprised at the lack of diversity as well.
My husband and I love it. We joined back in September of 2025. I am so comfortable that I took a nap completely uncovered on a lounge chair while my husband was at the picnic table doing computer work. It’s an amazing place with good people and good vibes. It is very much relaxing as well. You’re going to love it!
My wife and I went for the first time mid 2025. Loved it so much we joined late 2025!
So peaceful and the lake is great!!! Love the Nature of it all.
I went to Rock Lodge a handful of times a few years ago, and I'm only writing this review now because I recently went to Cypress Cove, the largest nudist resort in the US, and I now have something to compare my experience to. Wow. Rock Lodge is so much better. Small, but not too small. Friendly and family focused. At Rock Lodge you'll see a bunch of families, all of whom obviously have community and know each other w…
A welcoming, and very free location to enjoy nature. I know this is said alot, but there really is no judgment here. Everyone is relaxed and very chill, so no worries when it comes to letting loose.
Very recommended family naturist environment. Big fan of Saturday events and connection with nature and nudity 💕
Primera vez visitando este excelente resinto nudista. Las personas encargadas de la administración son muy amables y serviciales, nos dieron una cálida bienvenida. Mike nos hizo sentir muy cómodos y nos dió el recorrido por el lugar, para conocerlo, y nos explicó todas las actividades que podíamos realizar: nadar en el lago, utilizar los equipos y juguetes de natación, el sauna y jacuzzi, senderos para recorrer, las…
