Here's our Shangri-La Ranch Resort Review

Shangri La Ranch is a family friendly facility that welcomes everyone interested in naturism. Thier philosophy is that the best way to welcome newcomers to the nudist lifestyle is to allow them to ease into the nude environment at their own pace, therefore Shangri La Ranch is clothing optional.
Swim in the pool, relax in the spa, sauna or on the pool deck. Play volleyball, water volleyball, tennis, basketball, horseshoes or hiking trails all with the freedom of the nudist lifestyle. Rental units are available for overnight stays. This is an ideal spot for families or a group of friends who need a little extra room.

Remarks:
"In my 1st journey into being a naturist outside of my home,the folks at Shangri-La Ranch, made me feel accepted and at home at their resort. Having been a practicing naturist since my teens (when my parents weren't home) going nude at the resort was easier than I expected. Everyone i saw was having a good time either just sunning by the pool or swimming. Others were playing volleyball,either in the pool or regualar volleyball. Others were on nature hikes or in the clubhouse mixing and migling. The rooms there are great and very well air conditioned, which in the desert is a must. Best of all,people there are all about acceptence. Not just body acceptence, but accepting others for who they are. They don't "force" you to undress when you're not ready, and let you get comfortable with the idea of nude recreation. I was a little nervous but that faded fast for me. On the more serious side, they and other resorts and clubs world-wide, doall they can to protect their guests. Especially ones that are a family that practices naturism together. Anyone found being illicit and in violation of others "personal space" are asked to leave and banned from attending anywhere naturists gather. Overall, its a natural, clean,healthy and fun environment to get away from it all. Nothing feels more relaxing than being outdoors in the form we were made. Without clothes, we are all equal. Thank you Shangri-La Ranch for a great experience." - Walter from Arizona
