Turtle Lake Resort, nestled in south central Michigan, stands as a premier destination for those seeking a clothing-optional experience. This resort has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1980s, transitioning from a conventional campground to a nudist haven under new ownership since November 2003. This change marked the beginning of its journey to becoming one of the best clothing optional resorts in the country.
The resort sprawls over a scenic area, offering a private nude beach on Turtle Lake and both indoor and outdoor heated pools, including a new outdoor pool complete with a tiki bar introduced in 2013. Visitors can also enjoy a hot tub, mini-golf course, volleyball courts, and a disc golf course, ensuring entertainment and relaxation opportunities abound.
Accommodation options at Turtle Lake Resort are varied, including park model homes available for purchase, which can be placed on full-service sites available for annual lease. For those not looking to buy, the resort offers a wide range of rental rooms, many equipped with private baths and kitchen facilities, catering to all needs and preferences.
The resort is vibrant with activities year-round, boasting a full calendar that includes a nationally known music festival, and specific events like New Year’s Eve and Halloween parties that are highlighted as must-attend events. Recreational facilities include horseshoe pits, miles of walking roads, an exercise room, and more, complemented by regular parties in the clubhouse or around the pool.
For those new to the naturist lifestyle or considering Turtle Lake as a getaway, the resort offers free guided tours, giving a comprehensive overview of the facilities and activities available. This commitment to guest experience underscores Turtle Lake’s standing as not just a place to visit, but a community to be part of​.
