CAMP Zipolite

Author: Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park May 9, 2025 Duration: 54:15

Zipolite’s history as a surfing destination for hippies in the 60’s laid the ground work for today’s free-spirited atmosphere and acceptance of nudity. In recent years, it has become well-known for the enormously popular annual nudist festival. But within the village lies an even more interesting space known as CAMP. A place to gather, stay, and grow that is very specifically designed with “social architecture to support amongness.” When you stay, you become part of a social experiment in community. Anthony and Ernest explain the vision behind this unique venue.
