Closed for the Season!
Thank you for a great summer!
We are officially closed for the season and will accept visitors again Memorial Day weekend May 24, 2024
Summer Plans Not Derailed!
Like many, we have been closely watching developments related to the East Palestine Ohio Train Derailment. Focused on the accident’s impact on our resort’s natural resources, test results have determined that White Thorn Lodge can and will be open for the upcoming season.
We will continue our diligence and monitoring for changes to our testing results. Any changes that require us to adjust our schedule will be posted on our website and our Social Media platforms.
Thank you for your past, present and future support of our summer home. We look forward to seeing you soon.
WELCOME TO WHITE THORN
Fun, Safe, & Family Friendly

White Thorn Lodge is a family nudist campground nestled in the hills of Western Pennsylvania, about an hour from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Erie, Canton and Wheeling.
A relaxing natural haven in our more than 200 wooded acres, White Thorn offers a family friendly atmosphere, campgrounds, sports and recreational facilities, weekend events, and the opportunity for renewal that is unique to the nudist experience.

“We just loved it. Can’t believe we waited so long too try it. The people were friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. Everyone made us feel right at home. We can’t say enough about how great it is at WTL. What an amazing place.”
ENJOY THE WATER
The Swimming Pool & Conversation Pool
A New 28′ x 60′ heated swimming pool, surrounding sunning deck, and in-ground conversation pool were christened in the Spring of 2013. Both pools are fully handicapped accessible which includes lifts to enter and exit the water as well as proper wheelchair ramps to access the complete sunning area. Outdoor showers, an indoor bathhouse, and the sauna are only a few feet away.

“I visited (WTL) for my very first nude experience… The accommodations and grounds were wonderfully maintained. The people were so incredibly friendly. We swam, hiked, and talked with people. I felt alive. We left feeling refreshed and renewed. Knowing there are places where I am accepted just as I am is wonderful and I am so glad my first experience was there! We will definitely be back. -Susan”
PLAY TIME
Tennis, Volleyball & Pickleball Courts
White Thorn has one tennis court and two hard volleyball courts, two (new in 2016) pickleball courts, and three deep sand volleyball courts. Nearby, a grass all-purpose playing field is used for cornhole and kickball events. This field is transformed into grass volleyball courts for Superbowl, and the tennis courts become two additional Superbowl volleyball courts.

Rental Cabins
Four rental rooms were built by the members (as were most facilities at White Thorn) and face the large open camping area. We recommend that you make a reservation well in advance of a visit.

Bocce Court
The bocce court with its surrounding lawn is a favorite gathering place every day and evening for both experienced and novice bocce players. The pool and children’s playground are close by.
The Pond
THE POND, located at the bottom of Pond Road, was once used as a swimming hole. This idyllic spot nestled in the woods has undergone many recent improvements including the addition of a floating dock and pavilion. Future plans include the addition of a lighted fountain!
Members Camps & Cottages
These are just a few of our members summer lodgings that help illustrate the ambience and character of White Thorn.
