The Willamettans is Oregon's largest naturist club, set on 40 acres of private, wooded grounds just 20 minutes from Springfield. Founded in 1953, it welcomes over 400 members and offers RV sites with full hookups, rental cabins, and tent camping alongside a warm, family-friendly community. A typical visit means swimming in the heated pool (closed winters), soaking in the hot tub, playing lawn games, and socializing at the Full Moon Saloon, where Saturday nights bring dancing and karaoke. The club hosts theme parties, craft activities, and special meals throughout the year, and the website says it prides itself on maintaining accepted naturist etiquette in a wholesome atmosphere.
Reviewers consistently praise the genuine friendliness of staff and members, the beautiful natural setting with mature trees and wildlife, and the clean, well-maintained facilities. Most visitors describe feeling immediately welcomed and relaxed, with particular mention of good food at the café and engaging social activities. The overwhelming majority rate their experience as deeply positive and say they plan to return or move to the area.
One recent negative review describes feeling judged and restricted on the dance floor despite paying to attend, and reports a difficult membership application process, though this contrasts sharply with the consistent praise from nearly all other visitors. Overall, The Willamettans suits couples and singles seeking a clothing-optional retreat with genuine community, natural surroundings, and a mix of relaxation and social activity—though prospective members should be aware that the club maintains clear behavioural standards.

Wonderful resort, great people. Truly loved the time in the library with all the nudist history and the movie. Thank you Mike P for taking the time to show us around.

My husband and I have visited several times while visiting Oregon to see our son. We absolutely love Willy's. Moving to Salem in April and applying for membership in February when we come back to Oregon to buy our new home. Can't wait for regular visits and hopefully buying our 2nd home on site.
I really enjoy the atmosphere and natural swimming. Karaoke in the natural.
The community here is so friendly and accepting. It's one of my favorite places to be where I am always welcomed and feel refreshed when I have to go.
