A critical moment for Wildwood Naturist Resort
Texas members race to secure the future of their club
Wildwood Naturist Resort, a rare naturist haven in Decatur, Texas, is at a decisive moment. With the property listed for sale at $4 million, a steering committee of members is working against the clock to keep the club in naturist hands. The group has set a near-term fundraising goal of $30,000 as the first step toward their larger $1.5 million plan for member ownership. Funds raised now will cover essential legal and organizational costs, and demonstrate momentum to potential investors and supporters.
For decades, Wildwood has offered Texans and travelers 98 acres of pools, meadows, and campgrounds — a space where families gather, residents host water volleyball games, and members run the annual Skinnydipper Sun Run. For many, it is not just a resort, but home.
The outcome now depends on whether enough support can be rallied in time. Other naturist clubs across the country have been lost in recent years to redevelopment, but Wildwood’s community is fighting to prevent that fate here.
This is a pivotal moment. With a deadline approaching, every donation helps tip the scales toward preserving Wildwood for the next generation. It’s an uphill battle, so every contribution helps. 🪐
