About
# About
Welcome to our private **15-acre clothing-optional sanctuary**, one of Iowa's few private destinations where you can experience the freedom of clothing-optional recreation in a peaceful, natural setting. Whether you're curious about your first clothing-optional experience or have enjoyed nudism for years, you'll find a welcoming, respectful place to simply be yourself.
Many of our guests are women seeking a peaceful escape—a place to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy body-positive freedom without judgment or unwanted attention. We proudly welcome LGBTQ+ guests, solo travelers, couples, friends, and people of all backgrounds, body types, gender identities, sexual orientations, and experience levels. Come alone, with a partner, or alongside friends to unwind, recharge, and experience the comfort of a truly inclusive environment.
Many guests tell us they appreciate the peaceful, respectful atmosphere and the opportunity to truly relax without feeling watched, rushed, or judged. It's a place where you can simply slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy nature at your own pace.
If you've grown tired of crowded commercial campgrounds, you've found something different. JTRidge offers just a few secluded campsites, a private primitive cabin, and Day Passes, allowing every guest to enjoy exceptional privacy, tranquility, and room to breathe. This isn't a campground packed with activities or noisy neighbors. It's a quiet, low-key retreat designed for rest, reflection, and a genuine connection with the outdoors.
Our Day Pass is perfect for a relaxing lunch break, a sunny afternoon, or simply a few peaceful hours to recharge. Leave behind the pressures of everyday life as you stretch out in a reclining lounge chair, wander wooded trails, read beneath the trees, practice yoga, meditate, or simply bask in the warmth of the sun. If you need assistance navigating Hipcamp's Day Pass booking process, we're always happy to help.
For guests looking to deepen their relaxation experience, **private bodywork sessions are available on-site by appointment**. These sessions are designed to complement your time at JTRidge by encouraging relaxation, mindfulness, and a deeper connection between body and mind. Each session is personalized to the guest, incorporating relaxation techniques, guided stretching, energy-based practices, and intentional bodywork in a calm, private setting. As with every part of your visit, comfort, communication, and personal boundaries are always respected.
As stewards of this special property, we're honored to share it with those who appreciate nature, privacy, and the freedom of a clothing-optional environment. Clothing is optional throughout the property, but nudity is never required. Most first-time guests quickly discover how comfortable, natural, and liberating the experience can be. Whether you remain clothed or decide to experience nature without it, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.
Everyone is encouraged to enjoy the sanctuary at their own comfort level while respecting one another's privacy, personal boundaries, and individuality. Our goal is to foster a body-positive, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels safe, accepted, and welcome.
As your hosts, we're committed to creating a space where every guest—especially those visiting for the first time—feels safe, welcomed, and completely at ease. There is never any pressure or expectation beyond respecting one another, the land, and the peaceful atmosphere we all share. Our hope is that you leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to yourself and nature than when you arrived.
Nestled along the beautiful Wapsipinicon River, the sanctuary features mature hardwood forests, dramatic limestone bluffs, scenic hiking trails, open sun-filled spaces, and abundant wildlife. Listen to birdsong (the Merlin Bird ID app is a favorite here), watch cattle graze peacefully in the neighboring pasture, cast a fishing line into the river, relax in a hammock beneath the trees, or simply enjoy the gentle rhythm of nature.
As evening settles in, breathtaking sunsets give way to brilliant star-filled skies free from city light pollution. Gather around a campfire, listen to the soothing sounds of the river, read a favorite book, photograph the landscape, or simply embrace the luxury of doing absolutely nothing.
Looking for a little adventure? Launch your canoe, kayak, or tube in Olin and enjoy a scenic 3–4 hour float to our riverfront. Several Iowa state parks, fascinating caves, Iowa's only Presidential Library and Museum, and the Great Jones County Fair are all within a short drive, making JTRidge an ideal home base for exploring eastern Iowa.
Whether you're seeking peaceful solitude, quality time with someone special, or simply a place to unplug and recharge, we hope you'll discover that JTRidge is more than a place to camp—it's a place to breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself, and experience nature as it was meant to be enjoyed.
Your hosts are available whenever you need us and are always happy to socialize, but we equally respect your privacy. We're glad to answer questions, share local recommendations, or simply let you enjoy the sanctuary at your own pace.
Many guests arrive planning for a single visit and leave already looking forward to returning. We look forward to welcoming you to our peaceful corner of Iowa.

We love animals, plants, art, and outdoor recreation and love sharing these things with people! We found the perfect little plot for all of these things we love. Nature, art, animals, and lots of space! The hilly, lush land is also known as the Bohemie Alps and it's quite a beautiful area tucked away in Iowa.
Visit with the llamas, goats, peacocks, potbelly pigs and the horses and hike around the property or stay in for a quiet stay with a good book and enjoy all the sights and sounds. Lots of extra 'add ons' to enhance the experience, like a waffle bar kit, smore's package, hikes, and more!
Semi wooded property with hiking trails, hammocks, aerial silks, campfire pit. 5 mi away is Otter Creek Lake, a recreational park for fishing, kayaking, swimming, etc. We have 2 kayaks available. So much to do! Also perfect to just relax, meditate, yoga, sleep...

Weekend Trip to #JTRidge Sites/Clothing Optional
We had such a peaceful stay! When we arrived, we were immediately greeted and lovingly shown around the property. You can tell that there was so much love and positivity in every pocket of air. We stayed at the Eagle’s Nest, which was very private and had a wonderful view. To our delight there were hammocks inside too :). We loved the cows, birds, and frogs as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise.

We loved our stay at Windy Goat Acres! We had a beautiful view of the land and farm animals and it was everything we imagined it to be! We loved walking around the trails and socializing with the goats. We added on the waffle kit which was amazing and delicious! Overall, we loved our stay and want to visit again!

Jessica & Jim were very responsive to questions or if anything was needed. Very knowledgeable and caring of their animals. I was so excited to discover there was water on site. The chalet was lovely & had a beautiful view of the barnyard area.

Weekend Trip to #JTRidge Sites/Clothing Optional
We stayed in the Cabin, and, after being helped to settle in and given the tour, spent 2 days in the most pleasant and relaxing setting I've seen in years! Scott was very accomodating, and the property is very well maintained.
Just make sure to bring plenty of bug spray. The mosquitoes weren’t awful, until after a brief rain when the wind died, at which point we had to retreat to the cabin to avoid being ravenously dined on 😅
9/10, if you like nature, camping, don't mind the lack of powered sites, and aren'tparticularly shy, then head to JT Ridges, you won't regret it!

The chalet was a beautiful location overlooking the animals with an easy to maneuver trail system. It was also a nice distance from other rentable places so you did feel you had space. Hosts were very kind and we enjoyed the extras with the animals. I did wish there was at least blinds/curtains for the bedroom for some privacy while changing, especially given that this is a frequently traveled area of the property.

This is an animal lovers dream! I brought my dog and it was a really special experience. After enjoying the animals, we hung out on the porch overlooking the farm and read for hours. It was so peaceful! One piece of advise if staying in the llama cottage… there are no window coverings so you may want to bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in to block out the sun. I knew this in advance so I was happy I packed mine!

Jess was welcoming and terrific in setting up the bunny enclosure for us to feed and cuddle the bunnies 🐰. Our cabin was Lady Morphia's Castle which was inviting and well stocked. My favorite time was sunrise coffee on the porch with my daughter, and tranquility of listening to the birds.

Holy buckets! This place is corner after corner after delights revealed! Everything place you look there’s another magical thing to see! Triplet baby goats, kittens leaping in tall grass, a sweet hobbit house appearing on the trail, a short walk to your pals’ yurt and a sweet fairy garden that leads to a stage-in-field where even our teenagers were transformed back into less angsty versions of themselves! Essentially I (a known non-camper) was thrilled to stay in the sweetest a-frame cabin with a cool blast of air conditioning, a couch and a wall of books! I was charmed absolutely! And am planning a return trip before summer’s end.

Scott and Kimberly were wonderful hosts. They made us first time naturists feel very comfortable and welcome. My wife has always said she did not want to give naturism a try but once we got there she was willing to. All because of the comfortable nature of our hosts and the property. We loved it so much we have already booked 2 more trips this summer

Everyone was so kind and helpful! Had plenty of stories to share about the property and all the animals on it. Such incredible views, awesome trails, and the animals are so kind and welcoming to strangers. Also have so many activities that they can accommodate. I would recommend this place to anyone!

My family had a great time at Windy Goat Acres. Jessica was very friendly and accommodating. We love spending time feeding and watching the animals as well as exploring all of the little areas set up all over the property. We walked several of the trails and loved the view from the top of the hill. While I'm not personally fond of staying in cabins (this was a family gift), I would definitely go here again just for all of the experiences.

If you're looking for a break from everyday life, this is the place!
Jess & Jim are welcoming, accommodating and super helpful if you need something (like going out to get propane, swapping it out & coming in to start the fireplace- thanks again, Jim!)
Such a special spot & they make it feel like a "home away from home" - offering beautiful yurts & cabins, add-ons like dry firewood and a waffle bar (HIGHLY RECCOMEND!), a spacious farm filled with fun & quirky animals and hidden gems all throughout the property.
I can't put it into words just how grateful I am for Windy Goat Acres, Jess & Jim, and a spot where I can just breathe and rest my soul.
Until next time!❤️

Sugar Bottom Campground not exactly private, but it's typical for popular Iowa camping spots. We brought our kayaks and went up the little waterway next to the campground—beautiful! We came upon a beaver home, and I think Mr. Beaver followed us up the short river. The adjacent disc golf course is hilly and wooded—exactly what I love. I would visit the area again, but would probably find a different area to camp.
