Hi Travelers,
If you thought the naturist camping trend peaked during lockdown, think again. According to Pitchup.com’s 2025 Outdoor Travel Trend Report, stripping down in the great outdoors is not only still a thing—it’s thriving. The camping booking site saw a 742% spike in searches for naturist campgrounds this year alone.
Pitchup’s data shows that a growing number of travelers are seeking “non-sexualized nudity in nature” as a path to body positivity, shameless self-acceptance, and, yes, better tan lines.
A pre-Pandemic Tripadvisor survey revealed that 45 percent of Americans would like to try a nude vacation, up from 31 percent the year before.
And while the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) doesn't have data on the number of "room nights" occupied at its 200 or so affiliated resorts, it did conduct a snapshot study of nudism in Florida in 2017 that reveals the enormous economic contribution of nudism to the state.
According to the study, over two million nudist vacationers book into 34 nudist resorts every year, making the nudist industry in Florida worth a staggering $7.4 billion dollars.
Florida’s first officially sanctioned nude beach – Haulover Beach in Miami – makes around $980,000 a year in parking fees alone.
And the AANR points to the nude cruise industry as an indicator of how accepting of clothing-free vacations people are becoming – it's grown from one clothing-optional 500-passenger cruise liner in 1992 to a sector that accommodates between 15,000 and 30,000 "nakationers" annually.
About AANR: For over 90 years AANR has been the preeminent authority and voice in North America, staunchly protecting the freedoms and rights of those who participate in wholesome, family-style nude recreation.
Socially, AANR encourages Nakation℠ vacations as healthy, eco-friendly, transformational travel experiences; while AANR’s membership demonstrates conclusively that life is enhanced by the naturalness of social nudity. From exercise to relaxation, a person’s physical, spiritual, and mental well-being is enriched through nude recreation and slumber.
