What is a Naturist vacation?
At first glance, a naturist vacation looks like an ordinary vacation, but without clothing. But there is more to it than that. It is also about a lifestyle based on acceptance and respect for yourself and others. There is a special feeling of togetherness at a naturist campsite, where everyone is equal and where care for each other and for nature is a matter of course. You do not have to be an outspoken naturist to enjoy being naked; some people just love to relax in the sauna, swim naked, or sunbathe. A naturist vacation is all about ultimate freedom and connection with nature. It is a relaxed way of vacationing where clothing is unnecessary. Naturist vacations open the door to a world of peace and togetherness, surrounded by unspoiled nature.

What can you expect during a naturist vacation?
If you are considering naturist camping for the first time, it can be quite exciting to literally expose yourself. A good first step is to go to a naturist campground for a day or weekend and enjoy the facilities. Many people worry about possible sexual tension at a naturist campground, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nudist recreation is not sexual. The same standards and values apply here as elsewhere. Nudity is experienced in a non-sexual context. It is quite normal to look at each other, just as in everyday life, it is surprisingly quickly normal.
Hygiene and Respect
On a naturist vacation, as in the sauna, everyone brings their own towel to place on a chair in the bar or restaurant. Showers are available where everyone rinses off beforehand. In the evening at dinner in the restaurant, however, most people are clothed, especially since it often cools off then. Respect for each other and each other's privacy is always paramount. For example, it is not allowed to take pictures or videos. Not everyone is so comfortable appearing on social media, yourself probably not either. And let's be honest, without a smartphone always with you is actually also a form of freedom and vacation!
Children, teens and adolescents on naturist vacations
Small children often find being naked very normal and fun. Who doesn't have a few shameless pictures of the old days in your bare bottom in a pool in the garden. Exactly! Teenagers, on the other hand, often experience insecurities, especially as their bodies change and the social pressure to look perfect increases. Naturist camping can be a positive influence precisely for adolescents. It shows that perfection is not important and that no one should be ashamed of their body. At a naturist campsite, people walk around naked, which is actually much more normal than being constantly clothed. Wearing a towel or pareo can help ease the transition to being naked. Flevo-Nature is flexible in dealing with adolescents and their search within naturism, so that they experience naturism as positive.
Why do we like to be naked?
There are about 2 million people in the Netherlands who enjoy recreation in the nude. Naked is about more than just taking off your clothes. It's about accepting yourself as you are and therefore experiencing a sense of freedom. It shows you that everyone is different and that that is totally okay. In (social) media, perfect bodies are often shown, leading to unrealistic expectations. In reality, most people don't look like they do in those images. Being naked is actually quite common and can help you accept yourself as you are. And a naturist vacation is a great place to start with this.
Isn't it too cold to be naked?
During a naturist vacation, of course, the idea is to be naked. But if it's really too cold, you just put on clothes. The important thing is that you have the freedom to choose. You will see that the more often you are naked, the more quickly your body gets used to this, even in colder temperatures. So when it's warm enough, go for a walk, swim or go to the sauna and take off your clothes. The NFN Netherlands motto is, "Open & Bare is better than wrapped!
The difference between nudists and naturists
A frequently asked question is what the difference is between nudists and naturists. In the past, there was a clear distinction, where nudists were mostly comfortable in their nudity and naturists lived more in harmony with nature and respected each other. Nowadays the emphasis is more on personal choice, without putting anyone in a "pigeonhole."
Where are you allowed to walk naked?
Nude recreation can be done more and more often and in more places legally. Think of saunas, nude beaches, and naturist campsites. What is important is that the place must not be visible from the public road and that the majority does not object to nude recreation. Municipalities designate specific locations, but ultimately the courts determine whether nude recreation is allowed in a particular spot. Therefore, choose to walk naked at a nude campground or nude beach, and no one will object.
