How does the nude mandatory work on a cooler evening when in my experience women are cold must most guys are fine, or on a cooler day?

My resort is not uncompromising. I have been there on a cooler evening, and some women did choose to wear a sarong or T-shirt. My wife chooses a long knitted cover-up; which is open in the front but still warm enough to keep her from getting too chilly. As long as the purpose is clearly just to stay warm; it's totally acceptable.

At Harbin Hot Springs, a clothing-optional meditation center here in California, it is advised that people bring a robe if they want to use the pools in the evening, as there is sometimes a wait for one (the number of people in the pool is limited), and it gets chilly at night. That makes sense to me. And I've worn a robe at other naturist resorts when it got cold, and nobody thought twice about it.

I have been to clothing optional hot springs, beaches and resorts and on a nice day I dont understand why people that go to these places are too shy to be naked with others that are naked. I like to get naked as soon as it is permitted because I like the freedom to enjoy being naked and no one can say anything about it. I just ignore and not bothered by those that are not naked that dont interfere in my naked activities. I have noticed some guys like to wear jock straps at theses clothing optional venues which can attracts more attention than just being naked, but why wear one when nudity is acceptable and when yo have paid to be in a nudist setting. I also find some guys are scared to have their penis seen by others and will use their hands or towel to hide their penis behind, there is nothing to be ashamed of since we are all born with a penis as a male.

I can see two valid reasons to go to a clothing optional venue and not be nude, other than temperature.
Going with someone who wants to be nude and you are not comfortable doing so.
Wearing less than is permissible in most other settings, eg. topless for women, g-strings for either gender.
Most of the people at the nude beach I use (Gunnison) that are not nude seem to meet one of these two.

I'm very much a freedom loving, live and let live kind of person. So for me clothing optional doesn't bother me in the least. I have the freedom to go nude and if another chooses to cover or partially cover then that's their business. Besides I can think of numerous reasons one might stay covered and a few of them are medical. Just my 2cents.

For me, I am so keen on being nude that I will go so far as to drive nude to a resort and walk into the office carrying my towel, wallet, car-keys and phone. Only at one resort was this frowned upon (by the guy working the front desk): White Tail Resort near Ivor, VA. [I later found out from folks who live at that resort that a lot of the regulars/residents consider that front-desk guy a 'dick.' ] In any case: whether nude or clothing-optional, the only option for me is nude. The only time I've ever worn clothes at a nudist resort was at the night time dance. And this was because I didn't want to have to be carrying a towel.

How little clothing do you bring for the trip?
The office experience could have been worse. One of the men on this board posted that he checked in wearing just shorts because he knew that the office was outside the clothing optional area and the person at the desk told him to wear a shirt next time!
What do you do on chilly evenings?

Two afterthoughs concerning the dance.
Did you just wear shorts since that's all you need to avoid bringing a towel?
Have you tried dancing nude? I think it might be enjoyable enough to go to the effort of carrying a towel.

Someone else who leaves all clothing in the car.

Dancing nude is the way to go and your towel doubles as a seat holder for when you want to rest. And on chilly nights as a shawl to head back to your cabin/RV at the resort.

Same here. At my "NM" resort it is perfectly acceptable to arrive naked. Most people choose to check-in dressed ; then return to their car, get naked, and proceed to the lake or pool area. Which is also my wife's preference: I personally would jump out of the car naked as soon as we arrive; but she likes to check in first, go back to the car, strip naked and organize our bags/baskets before proceeding.

Regardless; once we've checked in, undressed and left our clothes in the car: we're completely free of them for the day. If we decide to stay later and it gets chilly, we simply return to the car and she can pull out her knitted cover-up. But other than that: no reason to bother bringing any garment with us. We're going to stay naked all day long.
