Lake Como adds new RV park
After years of planning, Lake Como has added a new RV/Mobile Home section. For many years, Lake Como, Florida’s oldest nudist resort, was known for its friendly atmosphere, and in the same breath the caveat “but it’s very rustic”. In the past 5 years, they have added state of the art tennis complex and now have developed a new RV & Mobile Home park in what was once a dying orange grove.
While the new development takes some of the “rustic” away, I’m sure Lake Como will remain a friendly place for nudists. Lake Como has a special place in the heart on many nudists, and we all applaud the continuation of their progress.

Nudist Resort To Host Open House For New Park
Published: February 7, 2008
LAND O’ LAKES - Lake Como Family Nudist Resort has opened its new RV and mobile home park, South Grove Village, the product of a four-year redevelopment project.
To showcase the park, Lake Como will have a free open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The village features 33 mobile home spaces, 39 RV spaces with full hookups, and a new bathhouse with indoor laundry facilities, all within walking distance of a pool, sauna, outdoor hot tub, restaurant,
nightly entertainment and other amenities.
Lake Como is home to more than 200 full- and part-time residents and host to some 1,500 tourists per year. It’s the oldest nudist resort in Florida and one of the largest in the country, with 200 acres of nature, recreation and sports amenities, a news release states.
And it was one of the more rustic Florida nudist resorts in the days before South Grove Village.
“We decommissioned a number of older lots to create the new village without actually expanding the resort,” Van Bradley, general manager since 2001, said in the release. “This allows us to preserve the park’s natural beauty while significantly upgrading the resort so we can offer a much nicer place to live and visit for our expanding membership.”
Open house guests will be screened near the resort’s entrance and escorted to the village, where they will be treated to music, hotdogs, beer and soft drinks, and introduced to Lake Como members, residents, mobile home/RV dealers and lending professionals. Guests then will be invited to enjoy the resort’s attractions.
Identification is required for all guests, and an adult must accompany visitors younger than 18 for the duration of their stay.
