History

America’s First Nudist Colony is in Basking Ridge New Jersey

Founded in 1932 and situated on 38 acres in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, Go Figure is glad to know that it has a discounted membership for township residents. It’s called a “naturist community for families and couples” (not a nudist colony). It’s members of the prestigious American Association for Nude Recreation.

We will dig deeper….but it’s too much to pass up on such a historic Jersey icon.


From the site:


“Enjoy a friendly game of Petanque, Miniten, or Volleyball.  The level of activity is up to you.  Sky Farm has many organized social activities as well as “Theme Dinners”, game nights and dances.”
“Enjoy the beautiful heated pool, hot tub, relax on the deck, or lounge on the lawn.  Sky Farm members enjoy FREE Wireless Internet access, unlimited FREE ice, and the use of gas barbecue grills among many other amenities.”

Rule #1 –
Remember, textiles – cloths, bathing suits etc. are NOT permitted in the pool!
