Nudist Resort To Host Open House For New Park
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: February 7, 2008
LAND O' LAKES - Lake Como Family Nudist Resort has opened its new RV and mobile home park, South Grove Village, the product of a four-year redevelopment project.
To showcase the park, Lake Como will have a free open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The village features 33 mobile home spaces, 39 RV spaces with full hookups, and a new bathhouse with indoor laundry facilities, all within walking distance of a pool, sauna, outdoor hot tub, restaurant,
nightly entertainment and other amenities.
Lake Como is home to more than 200 full- and part-time residents and host to some 1,500 tourists per year. It's the oldest nudist resort in Florida and one of the largest in the country, with 200 acres of nature, recreation and sports amenities, a news release states.
And it was one of the more rustic Florida nudist resorts in the days before South Grove Village.
"We decommissioned a number of older lots to create the new village without actually expanding the resort," Van Bradley, general manager since 2001, said in the release. "This allows us to preserve the park's natural beauty while significantly upgrading the resort so we can offer a much nicer place to live and visit for our expanding membership."
Open house guests will be screened near the resort's entrance and escorted to the village, where they will be treated to music, hotdogs, beer and soft drinks, and introduced to Lake Como members, residents, mobile home/RV dealers and lending professionals. Guests then will be invited to enjoy the resort's attractions.
Identification is required for all guests, and an adult must accompany visitors younger than 18 for the duration of their stay.

"The village features 33 mobile home spaces, 39 RV spaces with full hookups, and a new bathhouse with indoor laundry facilities." WHAT ARE THEY WASHING ANYWAY? Maybe there should be a National Come to Work Nude Day...that will put an END to nudism once and for all.

In all honesty, I would rather deal with old nudists than the crap my sister is dealing with in MI, a corrupt Mayor using public resources and funds to cover up his infidelity and costing a city $9million.

Lola, ever heard of a fanny pack? Not the one you wear around your waist.

Higgy, when old people sleep they leak fluids and solid matter.

RE: Laundry facilities
Duh. Nudists DO wear clothes when they go shopping, to work, school etc. Not all nudists are retirees.

BTW GF, society has hardly "evolved" from 10,000 years ago. In fact, it can be argued that things starting really going downhill within the past 2000 years or so, primarily due to certain self-righteous religious groups coming on the scene.

"cyndiann, Don your rollerskates, and only rollerskates, and take a roll down Bayshore at lunchtime and see what happens. I think that you will find otherwise."
Actually there was an organized Naked Bike Ride on Bayshore last year.

RE: Since when is a nudist community a "Family Resort"?????
--------------------------------------
Oh, since the 1930's and 40's here in the USA. Before then families usually went skinny dipping at the local lake.
A better question would be: since when is a nudist resort NOT family oriented?
