For our first time naturist experience at a campsite we chose Euronat on the Medoc peninsular in France. Despite the fact that we had been many times to our local 'unofficial' naturist beach in West Cornwall we had never been to a naturist campsite. Nervousness and a certain amount of trepidation were our over-riding feelings as we approached.
After supper and a drop of wine we turned in and had a good nights sleep. However, the next problem arose the next morning when insecurities crept in and I refused to get out of the tent until I had seen someone walking around naked.
Once that problem had been overcome we never looked back. A more detailed account of Euronat can be found on our
Euronat
page.
We hired bikes to cycle to the beach and had a brilliant four days. We felt as though we had turned from first time naturist to experienced naturist in this time, so relaxing was the atmosphere. We still had another ten days of our holiday to go and were more or less decided to stay here for the rest of the time when a chance meeting changed our minds.
The next morning we packed the car and then, as our pitch was about half a mile from the bike shop, I said I would ride one bike, wheeling the other one beside me, whilst Jan drove the car. I set off ahead of Jan and my 'system' seemed to be working quite well. It was only when I approached the village that I started to doubt as to how I was going to stop.
It was when I decided to have a trial stop that things went wrong. I slowed quicker than the bike beside me which shot across in front of me causing carnage. Jan drove around the corner to see a crowd of people trying to untangle me from various bits of bike. My only saving grace was that I wasn't naked!
We hope you found our first time experience amusing! We did. What about your first time experience. We've all had one unless you have never experienced naturism. If that is the case and you are reading this then, hopefully, these stories will put your mind at rest and help ease any natural reservations you may have.
Let us know of your first time experience and let's help spread naturism!

The delay, however, meant that we arrived at Euronat late afternoon. We approached with our hearts in our mouths.
By the time we had put the tent up and organised ourselves evening had drawn in and many people were dressed to go to dinner or just to sit outside the tents.
We were cooking at a communal bbq one evening when we started chatting to a couple, also first time naturist, who had stayed at a wonderful campsite in the Dordogne called Cro Magnon and thoroughly recommended it.
The campsite was on the top of a hill overlooking the River Dordogne on which we went kayaking one day. (There are now several naturist campsites in the Dordogne from which this is possible). It was also within easy reach of Sarlat which is a lovely town and well worth a visit if you should ever get the chance.
This, in theory, was going to be the quickest way to get to Euronat, rather than drive down and around Bordeaux and back up to the campsite.
We had thoroughly enjoyed our first time naturist experience at Euronat and were quite sad to leave but now looking ahead to our next 'adventure'.
