We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!). If you don't have your own RV, you can rent one from Ray Day's RV Rentals (229-515-7008), which is literally around the corner.

So, this was our first time going anywhere that was clothing optional. WE were the awkward party at first and Jessica, at one point during check in, broke the ice so effortlessly and just asked "Okay, do you have any naked questions" which was so direct and simple.
Everyone we met was relaxed and laid back and very understanding of us being new to the scene. And it was pretty much just camping, but some people were naked. There was no pressure or weirdness and everyone was very understanding of us being completely new to the idea.
I know Caliente is right up the road, and they look like they're fun, just focused on swinging/kink stuff. We're open minded for sure, but wanted something easy and relaxed for our first time and Bare is that.
Like I said, it's just camping, but naked.

This piece of land is well loved and cared for by pure hearted stewards. Do yourself a favor and stay here! There is nothing like a piece of nature that is being well loved and just wants to love you back. The camper was a perfect nights sleep! I usually sleep restlessly in a new place. But here is slept soundly with only one small waking event. Between the bathroom, shower and kitchen setup they have everything I need to take of myself. I looming forward to returning!

Mike and Rob were excellent hosts! We didn't realize it would be so chilly at night, I brought no blankets. When Mike questioned my son about the evening, he was less than enthusiastic. He only had a towel for a blanket. Mike loaned us two sleeping bags!!
The baby goats were adorable. The young ones silly. Beware that one guy, you stop petting, he'll start tugging your shorts down!
Although, one word of warning, don't feed the free roaming donkeys at your site. And Stormy likes to redecorate.
The trails were nice, particularly one which was a shady oasis in late afternoon.
We had a great time! I highly recommend!

This spot is a little slice of heaven for those who dream of a view of pastures and horses. I would love to one day own a few acres and horse. Spotted Dance gives you a chance to observe from a distance , or if you are curious enough to inquire, John might give you an oppotunity to experiece owning these majestic animals. I got a chace to participate infeeding horses, cleaning stalls, and getting close to these beautiful creatures. Highly recommend!

My first experience at Bare RV Resort was fantastic. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from my first clothing-optional resort, but I immediately felt welcome, safe, and comfortable. What stood out most was the warm, respectful, and judgment-free atmosphere — it made for such a positive introduction to this kind of space. I visited with my friend, and we ended up making new friends during my stay, which made it even more special. The pool and hot tub were a highlight, and the whole resort felt cozy and inviting. It strikes a great balance of social and relaxed, and the location near other resorts in the area is a bonus. A wonderful first experience, and we will gladly return.

I just want to share some photos of this amazing campsite. From the moment you drive in you know you’re in a special place. Our hosts were awesome and we plan to come back again. The horses visited the first morning and were so sweet. They have thought of everything to make your stay amazing from clean tent site to spotless bathroom and showers. Wow and we were also treated with seeing day old baby goats. If you get the chance to visit it’s a MUST.
