I’m a first-time visitor. What should I expect?

How do I make a reservation?
Because of the nature of Northaven Resort and the associated privacy issues we must speak to all attending. Therefore, all reservations must be made by telephone (or in-person if you are visiting). This also gives us a chance to answer any questions to ensure you are properly prepared for your visit.
To make a reservation, please call 517-273-0000 or 866-2B-NAKED.
What is your reservation, cancellation/modification policy?
Payment Terms
Full payment is required at the time of booking. By completing a reservation, the guest authorizes Northaven Resort to charge the full reservation amount at the time of booking.
Refund Policy
All refunds, if any are approved, shall be issued exclusively in the form of a Northaven Resort gift card. No cash, credit card, or other forms of refund will be provided.

Do I need to provide identification when visiting? What type of identification is accepted?
Everyone entering Northaven Resort is required to provide valid (non-expired), state or federally issued, photo identification.
Do you require a background check for guests?
Yes, beginning in 2025 we implemented a policy that requires a background check for all first-time visitors, and all new members. The areas of interest are crimes of violence, and sexual misconduct. We know this is a sensitive subject however, given the nature of Northaven Resort, and our commitment to guest safety, we feel this policy is both logical and necessary.
Can I reserve a lot or a rental unit for one night?
Reserving a lot or a rental unit requires a 2-night minimum stay (3-nights on holiday weekends). If you would like to stay during the week, we will generally make an exception to the 2-night minimum requirement.
Can I put a tent or second camper on my lot?
Feel free to add a small sun shelter, or tent to eat/relax in. A second camper, or tent for sleeping is not permitted.
Do you have community showers and restrooms?
Of course, and they are clean! Just so you aren’t surprised, the showers are coin -operated…$0.25 for 5-minutes. If you can’t find a quarter, and still want to be clean (and we hope you do), we have two free outdoor showers (with hot water) available also.
Can we have guests stay with us while visiting Northaven Resort?
If you are staying in your own camper, you may have up to two (2) additional guests stay with you. If you are staying in one of our rental units, you may have up to two (2) additional guests stay with you provided the unit you have rented will accommodate additional guests. Of course, all additional guests must pay the required resort fee to enter the resort.
2 B Naked? Do I have to be naked?
It’s completely up to you. We are an adult-only, gated, private, secure, clothing-optional resort. This gives you the choice to decide your own comfort level. We are proud to offer a relaxed, friendly, nonjudgmental atmosphere for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. You are free to wander our beautiful grounds fully dressed, completely nude, or anywhere in between.
Is there general etiquette to follow?
Many of our weekend activities include a resort-wide dining gathering where we ask members to bring a dish to pass. When food is being served, for the safety and hygiene of all, proper clothing is required. This means your bottoms (front and rear) must be covered. In the Sexy Sundries General Store, where beer and wine are sold, you must also cover your bottoms. When you are naked, don’t forget to carry a towel to sit on in both the common areas and when visiting other members. Trust us – they will appreciate it!

The speed limit is 10 mph.
Are the employees friendly?
Our staff is a group of amazing people! However, do NOT assume they are part of the clothing-optional lifestyle! Northaven Resort instructs all its employees to treat each guest and member with dignity and respect regardless of their feelings about this lifestyle. In return, we expect our guests and members to allow our employees to work without being subjected to their values, either in conversations or actions toward them. Please do not proposition any employee during your visit.

You should only use your vehicle to go to and from your unit/lot – not to get around the resort. Absolutely no vehicles should move around the grounds after 9 pm except to enter or leave the resort.
