I was with a party arriving in two cars at one place. Our car checked in, clothed. From the second car, one person came into the lobby nude. And was summarily banned. When in doubt, check in clothed, get the lay of the land.
I agree. Especially if it's your first time at that resort, you don't want to risk getting reprimanded - or worse - by checking into the main office naked when newcomers are expected to check in dressed. There are resorts that are quite stringent about it (which I personally feel doesn't make much sense).
Sometimes, all you need is ask. I used to go to Bell Acres in my previous life; and after going there a few times, I started wondering why I needed bother staying dressed to check in, since the parking lot was inside the resort and some people hung out naked in the main office. I simply asked the front desk lady; who told me it wasn't "customary" to check in naked, but told me she'd be ok with me doing it. My then-wife was on board with it, so we started getting naked as soon as (or before) we arrived. It was funny seeing people's expressions when we strolled in naked to check in at first; but soon enough other people started doing it too. So it doesn't hurt to just ask.
When we went to Cedar Creek, we were friends with some members; so we got a "pass" on checking in dressed.
But for most other C/O resorts, checking in dressed was "de rigueur."
In my current life with my wife Liz, we go to a "NM" resort where checking in nude is obviously allowed. Most people do check in dressed nonetheless; and then return to their car to get naked. Liz prefers it that way too; as she doesn't want to stand in line naked between clothed people to check in, and she likes to get "organized" at the car with all our stuff before proceeding naked to the lake.
So it really varies from resort to resort. Finding out first doesn't hurt.
You're going to a nude resort, you don't have to prove how hardcore you are by also checking in nude. LOL.
A good point. But not every nudist that prefers to check in naked is doing it to "prove" something (even though there are certainly some that do).
My first wife was (eventually) more of a home-nudist than a resort nudist. On days that we went to the resort, she was already naked, so she didn't see the point of going through the hassle of getting fully clothed just to take it all off again an hour later. So she'd just throw on a sarong; which, depending on the temperature and the time of day (we lived in the Deep South) , would end up on the floor or in the back seat before even arriving at the resort. Then she could just hop out of the car already nude and continue with her "naked day." For her, it was just about continuity being comfortably naked.
So for the standpoint of home-nudists, I totally get the motivation to just stay naked - as much as possible - from the house to the resort.

Do you travel naked also?
What clothing (if any) do you have in the car?
There are two resorts that I try to get to every summer and for both, I drive there naked and go into the office naked to check in. At both resorts, staff in the office are also naked so there is never any concern arriving and checking in nude. It is great leaving the house naked when your destination is a nudist/naturist resort and it it is great arriving naked, enjoying a day being nude in nature with others and leaving naked at the end of the day.

My first visit to Solair I was unsure, so even though I drove there nude I put clothes on to check in. Now that I see the layout, that was not necessary and next time I go I will be nude the entire day, driving there and back, checking in, and of course the whole day spent there. I can't wait!Will you bring clothing in case of an emergency?
Of course, on the way there and back I have to stop for coffee etc. and I don't go into the convenience store nude...

I love this - my idea of a perfect day!
The one resort I go to is about a 40 minute drive from my House. I have always thought about going to this resort without bringing any clothes with me. This summer I finally worked up the courage to do this and went to the resort with just a towel. The feeling of leaving the house naked and travelling some distance from home without a stitch of clothing (not even footwear) and then spending the day naked at the resort and driving back home nude was absolutely wonderful. This resort does not have a buzz in system - just a gate that you have to open yourself. The gate is just off the road where you would be fully visible if someone was to drive by while you are opening the gate to get in and then closing the gate after driving into the resort. The other resort I try to get to each summer is about a four hour drive, so not bringing any clothes becomes more challenging as I need to fill up on gas on the way back home. When I go here, I bring a pair of shorts and a shirt and put these on when I get gas, but other than that I am completely naked for the four hour drive there and for the four hour drive back home. This resort has a buzz in system for the gate which is also just off the road - so no need to get out of the car upon arrival.

Do you think you will make more trips to the closer resort with no clothing in your possession in the future?
For the farther resort, no need to bring a shirt if you pay at the pump unless you are planning to go inside to buy something else.
Do you travel naked also?
I do not. I live in the city now; so it would be too impractical to drive nude. Also, my resort is right off the highway; so there is no long country road to drive naked on, as there has been in the past.
But then I was never a fan of driving naked; as I'm too nervous about getting pulled over. I have a heavy foot on the gas.
