Https://HARBIN.org CALISTOGA 8-10 pools in nature
harbin.org HotSprings Middleton California
Offers 6 hour or 24 hour visits, camping or rooms? Building back after 2015 fire :(
north of Middleton, which is 20 miles north of Calistoga, which is 20 miles north east of Santa Rosa California which is 50 miles north of San Francisco
As harbin offers 8 or 10 different pools for swimming and soaking SPRING FED hot, cold warm
Indian springs Calistoga is not a resort? It’s a spa in Calistoga and it’s expensive which brings home the point that Harbin is very reasonably priced in comparison to most everything else in much of California so it rates well from every angle. I’ve never been, but was checking it out when a girlfriend invited me and I was turned off at the expense and no camping and whatever I guess so I just said let’s just go to Harbin they’ve got everything.

Https://SierraHotSprings.org SPRING FED
Closer to Tahoe. Donner Pass Truckee, north of Highway 80 that’s actually a sister HotSprings to harbin.org. I think they honor each other’s memberships and such a lot of people used to like to go there after burning man except now somehow they’re closed on Mondays or something so you can’t get in it’s a little funky, that one’s way more nature, serene, and just peaceful and nature.
At Sister Resort Harbin I always enjoyed the social atmosphere. After huge festivals. In Northern California. Harbin might have 50 people around Who’d Be there on a common day in the summer or fall +50 more people from the festival so we’d all hang out on the yoga decks and eat food and swim, enjoy the movie nights and dining and frolic around naked and happy bliss like a bunch of Sunbathing happy hippies, nekkid sunshine bliss

SACRAMENTO
Https://
Laguna Del Sol swinger resort Sacramento
is also on my bucket list and that has a couple of events which seem interesting.
they might have a couple events there although I’m unclear if one was mixed including hetero ish straights and I wasn’t sure if they even had a gay party unclear
As the name of one event was something like naked man, or whatever, and I wasn’t sure if that meant it was gay or if they’re playing off the burning man after party theme maybe somebody can answer this for me
Because I thought maybe they also offered a decompression or after party after burning man after Labor Day weekend and that seemed awkwardly? delayed like seven or 10 days after
Sacramento
Laguna del Sol 10 or 15 or 20 miles east southeast of Sacramento is a larger resort with pools lawns buildings then you can rent suites or rooms or something so that place is very much set up for large gatherings of tons of people and I guess being near Sacramento grassy lawns trees? and even like pond or lake structure for boating or swimming or something. Looks like a golf course type lake or Pond-ish. If I recall.
Not sure if you can swim there. Hope to learn more.

Lupin Los Gatos, California WSW OF San Jose
2 hot tubs 1 pool 1 dry Sauna vast acres
There’s been some question last year and this year of pressure to sell.
Lupin has one swimming pool close to one hot tub and dry sauna w/ lawn lots of benches chairs, picnic tables galore uphill with Outdoor shower s
Plus more showers right below that in a big wooden fancy architecture indoor outdoor restroom changing room dressing room area
Sunset Gardens style high architecture
then downhill there’s one other hot tub, with another shower
lots of grassy lawns, a cool community center with the kitchen where they serve food and you can BYOB little lounge area with a couch you can watch videos
Then a bigger dance room next to that so lots of community space and this has a big balcony looking over the yurt camping and some parking lots where great burning parties happen in between other chill spaces and oak, wooded and grassy areas as you drop downhill as even another big year which we used as another rave dance space in the woods
I’ve been to dance parties and raves there from burning man groups having electronic dance music events in the decade S of 2000 and 2010 those were fun. Though I also went in the 1980s and was so impressed with the sunset gardens. Tahoe wouldn’t A-frame style architecture and sprawling garden terrorist lawns and natural oak wooden forest spaces. Excellent for camping with always your choice of shade or sunlight in each and every setting quite the resort.
You can camp out or camp in your car sort of and/or rent a yurt or they have platforms by the creek. I think those have tents also are upper hillside, rather bunch of stuff available. It’s certainly more busy and fun in the summer, especially national nudist weekend, and I forget if that was in July, you can poke around for other reviews.
Also, you might search this platform and maybe some of these groups for the word Lupin to catch both of us up on the conversations it was late last year I was hearing people talk about wondering if Lupin was going to stay or if they were going to sell the establishment in
Los Gatos California
Super sexy fun naked dance parties here
To be clear folks were more naked outside, and more costumed or clothed inside the lodge eves
Lupin you could mostly pretty much just be naked all over and then I guess they probably want you to wear clothes at the food or kitchen area too indoors at that space maybe
Both HARBIN and LUPIN resorts allow you to be pretty much naked, 24 seven 3,65 all over the place with a very few set exceptions at Harbin like in the kitchen restaurant office or massage studios or near the main road as locals travel through

Https://Esalen.org Big Sur SPRING FED
Esalen.org Big Sur $$$ is the most pricey, so are the other resort s in that area definitely for higher class clientele although I must say not to be missed Esalen is incredible with a shallow warm pool, looking over the Pacific Ocean and restaurant serving organic food grown on site in their organic vegetable garden Esalen is a very admired venue from yoga health healing, body worker, life coach, tantric, Dani I, and holistic, living enthusiast, naturists, and naturalists
( wealthy version of Harbin’s clientele )
Walk trail down cliffs to Pacific Ocean :)
Big Sur
Then there’s another resort nearby that a cougar took me to when I was a strapping young lad in my 20s
insanely beautiful with architecture and some pools too. Wish I knew the name of resort
modern architecture like Sunset Gardens, or some fancy stone glass wood architecture my Friend had designed some of that as she’s an interior designer so she had comps to get in
They offer room service massage etc

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
Https://MercyHotSprings.com California
Hwy 5 btwn Modesto Fresno
1 wooden hot tub SPRING FED? As name implies but just one lone hot tub no other pools?
Mercy HotSprings is closer to you in Southern California and I did not like it that much when I went 20 years ago. 2000 decade It was just one deep hot tub wooden like a huge wooden wine barrel maybe 6 to 8 feet diameter by four or 5 feet deep or something with I guess a bench I was not impressed cause I was spoiled by Harbin and Lupin and, so many other resorts in Santa Cruz, Big Sur, dealen Monterey etc.
Mercy
So I was down on Mercy HotSprings but then I heard some people speaking of it recently in different groups here in California so I guess I have to stay open to that.
I caught a gopher snake on the side of the road en route that was fun so I brought it to Mercy HotSprings to let it go in the wilderness safer for snake than Hwy as mercy did seem to offer dirt gravel rocky desert type open air wilderness I don’t recall so clearly so it rather surprise me to hear people speaking so nicely of it
Blew my engine little bit on way down hence distracted limping crippled oops
