Looking for Fern Hills friends.
Return to DiscussionsI have never visited Fern Hills, though I have been a frequent visitor of Sunshower in eastern Indiana. Does Fern Hills accept single males as visitors? Does anyone know their restrictions?

I tried going to Fern Hills two decades ago when I decided I wanted to start practicing social nudity. I was not allowed to visit, because I am single. So I went to Sunshower and Paradise Gardens. I also drove over to Columbus, Ohio to attend a nude swim during the winter. That was enough to satisfy my need for social nudity.
Now I go to Camp Buckwood just outside of Bean Blossom to get my social nudity. I don't need an AANR membership there. I get a year membership with the Camp and can visit all season long when I have the need to be nude in nature.
I am not sure how I feel about Fern Hills. There is something that leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you are turned away. Just because I chose to never marry, why is that something that should be held against me? I understand their reasoning. Other resorts have explained why they screen visitors by gender and relationships, so as to keep a nice balance of people at their resort. It makes sense, but it doesn't make it feel any better to the person being turned down from a simple visit.
I don't know what Fern Hills restrictions are now that two decades have passed, since I tried to visit. But if you are single, just prepare yourself for a more than likely refusal when you ask to visit.
