In southeast Wisconsin, there’s a secluded, heavily wooded private area where people like to get away, relax with friends, and share food and drinks. It’s like any other campground, except for one thing: almost everyone is naked.

WPR’s Maureen McCollum visited the naturist, clothing-optional resort. The names have been changed to protect the naked.
