Review: Kaniksu Ranch Family Nudist Resort

When we moved to Spokane in the summer of 2018, we were on the hunt for a good local nudist resort near us to check out.

We have two about the same driving distance from us, Kaniksu Ranch which is located in Loon Lake WA and Sun Meadow in Worley ID. We opted to try Kaniksu and gave them a call.

The weekend we randomly chose happened to be their open house weekend with no gate fee for non-members, and was busier than normal; however, from the initial call through the check-in and to our departure it was a great time with really friendly staff and members. Not only was it their open house, it was the “National Skinny Dipping Day” so of course we had to get in the pool and do our part to try to help set the world wide Guinness Book of World Records skinny dippers.

To say we really enjoy the place is an understatement. We have enjoyed it so much that we haven’t tried Sun Meadows (although we will for sure), we just continue to go back to Kanisksu over and over.

Labels

Have you ever noticed in our society everyone has a label? This label helps to fit them in a perfect little box, so everyone knows just how to quietly judge them.

Whether it is your sexuality, relationship status, race/ethnicity, financial status, education level, religious choosing, political affiliation or any one of the varieties of lifestyle choices you make.

Everything must have a label. Without it, we often seek to find out what it is.

Swingers and Nudist|Nudist and Swingers

Two groups of people that often get lumped together are swingers and nudist.

People assume that nudist are swingers, and swingers are nudist.

While there is certainly a large combination of both, it isn’t true for all swingers or nudist.

Off and on over the past 20 years I have been a member of both lifestyles; however, not at the same time. What I mean by that is when I go to a nudist resort it is strictly nudist time. When I would go to a swinger party, it was just that, time to meet like minded people and if it goes further cool, if not I meet like minded people or do opened minded sexual stuff.

While there are certain lifestyle friendly (swinger) resorts, most nudist resorts are just that nudist. Sexual acts are strictly prohibited as they should be.

Self-Confidence and Boldness

Self-Confidence and Boldness

One of the most frequent statements I hear when I tell people that I am a nudist is “I don’t have the confidence” or “I could never do that I am not that bold”.

To be honest this usually comes from women that are bigger in stature and I feel they aren’t confident because they don’t fit what society deems as the normal, and appropriate size for women to be. It stems from a deep routed self-conscious image they have of themselves that has been there for decades.

This also comes from people that have been told from a young age that being naked is bad and leads to sex, or when you were naked it was for sex. You have been told to “cover up” and this has stuck with you.

Genital Piercings and Jewelry

What do you think about genital piercings and jewelry at nudist resorts or functions?

I have been to resorts before that don’t allow it, or highly discourage it and other places where it is acceptable to wear.

I think that if you have a piercing wear it. Whether nipples or genital you should be able to wear it and if people see it, well they are checking out your nipples or genitals. Let’s be honest, as much as people say no one looks, that is bullshit. Everyone checks out people and yes looks at crotches, boobs and ass of all shapes and sizes.

My First Nudist Experience

My First Nudist Experience

So there I was (as all good stories start) on a long weekend in NJ with a buddy who made casual mention that they have a nude beach there. Being the good Indiana boy I didn’t believe him as with as tight asses American’s are there is no way in hell they would allow a nude beach here in the states.

So, in true curiosity factor I told him we should go. I mean it was labor day after all with the forecast to be in the 100’s.

So long story short we make the drive over, parking lot was full so we hit a bar close by for a few cold ones and some nice blasting A.C.

After a fewish beers, we decided to try to make a pass by and if the parking lot was open yet. This is on Sandy Hook so there is a ton of beaches and they stopped allowing people in at like 1030 because parking was full.

Social Nudity and Misguided Perception

Social Nudity and Misguided Perception

Throughout our life we have been conditioned to associate nudity with sex.

This comes from our personal experiences as for most people when they are naked around someone it leads to sex, or through the abundance of porn or sexual scenes in movies and T.V.

These scenes are also portrayed by actors, both men and women, that are “good looking”, and fit and follow the social culture of being skinny or tone.

This leads many people I have talked to over the years about nudism resort to an immediate response of “I could never do that”, “I am too fat”, “no one wants to see me naked”, “I don’t want to see guys walk around all the place with erections” and more. All of these responses couldn’t be further from the truth. Being naked is natural.
