Star Ranch is a wonderful family nudist resort in McDade, Texas.

Each year they host a variety of fun games and tournaments with great prizes like towels and such.

This year they are celebrating their 62nd Anniversary!

Since the Hill Country Nudists is a travel club, we thought we would all head out to Star Ranch for a day or two if fun!

In celebration of Nude Recreation Week, (July 7–14, 2019) the Hill Country Nudists,
associated with the American Association of Nude Recration (aanr.com), encourage the public to experience the stress-relieving freedom of nude recreation. Join the club and many other body-positive people on the afternoon of July 6, 2019 at Hippie Hollow Park, the only official public nude recreation area in Texas.

Your shape, size, color, experience, age and any other attributes will fade away in the sun and splash of nude freedom. Normal, everyday people with normal, everyday bodies will relax and enjoy themselves without the stresses of work life. You don’t need to stress about your body, but instead accept yourself and show up to have a great time without judgment or perfection anywhere in sight.

Hippie Hollow does have a fee per car of $15. So consider car pooling.

 HIPPIE HOLLOW NUDE DAY AT THE LAKE

Join HCN friends for a lakeside party. Feel free to arrive whenever you wish, but just to give an official start time, we will say 10 am.

This is just a fun time at the lake. We will settle in our usual spot near the second bathroom, just look for the HCN flag!

Be sure to bring sunscreen and a towel or two and any snacks or drinks you want and perhaps a chair.

***Zebra Mussels have been found at Hippie Hollow so it is recommended that one wear water shoes or regular shoes when entering the water to prevent cuts. Trust me, they are there!***

No glass allowed at Hippie Hollow! But feel free to BYOB and snacks.

The park charges $15 entrance fee per car unless you are a yearly parks member, then it is only $5. Consider meeting up at the nearby HEB and carpooling into the park to save on fees.

Feel free to invite your friends along to join us for this Summer fun!

If burgers and dogs are not your thing, bring up something else to grill; veggies, fajitas small furry woodland creatures or whatever 😉
