Jones Pond Campground in Angelica, NY continues to draw LGBTQ+ naturist travelers looking for a verified clothing-optional stay in North America.
Travel interest in gay and LGBTQ+ naturist resorts keeps climbing across North America, and Jones Pond Campground remains a name travelers search by on purpose. Located in Angelica, NY, USA, the property benefits from repeat guests who treat clothing-optional travel as a community habit—not a one-time bucket-list stunt.

Jones Pond Campground is widely regarded as a gay-primary or LGBTQ+-centered naturist destination, which matters for travelers who want queer social energy without guessing at acceptance.
Directory data shows a 4.4 average rating with 295 reviews—helpful signal for planners comparing multiple North America options in the same week.
Industry chatter in 2026 keeps returning to three themes: better flight access to secondary markets, higher demand for explicitly LGBTQ+ spaces, and travelers who want property-specific guides instead of generic 'top ten' lists. Jones Pond Campground fits that last trend because it is a named resort with an address, not a vague pin on a map.

If you are building a multi-stop naturist itinerary, pair this property with regional beaches or events in the same travel window to reduce transit friction and maximize pool time.
