I belong to this national organization. The following is part of
an advertisement appearing in "Bare in Mind", a monthly newsletter:
JOIN THE NATURISTS -
We quietly, cautiously, practically work to get federal
constitutional guarantees enforced, that say you may enjoy
nude recreation at secluded locations in every state on public
lands.
We publish the famous WORLD GUIDE TO NUDE BEACHES & RECREATION.
Beautifully illustrated and unique, this oversize book tells where
those federal, state, and county and private sites are, and what
to expect.
We publish Clothed with the Sun, the quarterly updates and features
magazine on urban and rural nude recreation. Having seen the SUN,
you'll never want to be without it

Membership is is $15.00 per year and is well worth it. I am sure you
will also be interested in the other publications available from the
Naturists. This organization grew out of an effort know as,
"Free Beaches Documentation Center", which produced a magazine called
the SUN, referred to above. The Naturists are having a
West Coast Conference in June. Anybody in Portland care to join
me in driving down? Anybody want to join the local chapter?
Call me and let me know if you're interested.
The reference to our right to be nude on state property is factual.
Usually local ordinances regarding "disturbing the peace" will apply
if you let it all hang out on the freeway, but no one can (justly)
arrest you for backpacking nude in the national forest.
Park rangers usually acknowledge that nude campers are among the
most fastidious of all people using the forest.
