General Information for Visitors - MUST READ!

• New 2026 Visitor & C Member Updates

  Visitors are welcome Friday through Sunday during the regular season, along with Federal Holidays. Members may enjoy access seven days per week.

  Visitors may experience LOWC up to two visits per season to decide whether membership is right for them. Consecutive overnight stays count as one visit.

  All visitors and C Members will have a background check the first time they visit or become a C Member.

  LOWC remains committed to providing a relaxing, welcoming, and member-focused, family friendly nudist environment while continuing to preserve the qualities that make our club special.

  Friday Night Cake by the Lake at the East Pier continues to welcome visitors and C Members, with A and AA Members available to greet guests and answer questions about the community.

  LOWC also offers member-guided history hikes that allow guests to experience portions of the hiking trail system in a welcoming group setting.

  Visitors and C members are not permitted on the hiking trails or in the residential areas unless accompanied by an A or AA member.
