White Thorn Lodge

White Thorn Lodge has been a cherished destination for family-oriented social nudism since 1965. As a tax-exempt social club registered under the Western Pennsylvania Health and Athletic Association, Inc., we provide a welcoming environment where guests can enjoy athletic, recreational, and social activities in a natural setting. Our 200-acre wooded property near Pittsburgh offers diverse camping options, including tents, cabins, and member-owned cottages, alongside amenities like a heated pool, hot tub, and accessible facilities. The 40x60 clubhouse serves as our social hub, hosting live music, yoga, and community events that foster connections among guests. Our commitment to creating a vibrant, inclusive community has attracted thousands of visitors who appreciate our peaceful atmosphere and family-friendly approach.

We maintain high standards for cleanliness and accessibility, with handicapped-accessible pools, modern restrooms, and outdoor showers. Seasonal operations from Memorial Day to Labor Day allow us to focus on quality experiences during optimal weather conditions. Our membership structure supports ongoing improvements, including recent enhancements to the pond area and planned additions like a lighted fountain. Staffed largely by members, our snack bar and event programming reflect the community-driven spirit that defines White Thorn Lodge. Through careful stewardship of our facilities and adherence to our founding principles, we continue to offer a unique space where guests feel accepted and rejuvenated.
