Welcome to the Springwood Sun Club website.
 |
An
introduction to Springwood.
Springwood is a naturist club established in
the 1950s near Colchester, Essex. For those of you who
are new to naturism, being a naturist does not mean
that you never wear clothes, it means that you have
an extra freedom not to wear clothes if the weather
and circumstances are right. However, ask any naturist
and they will tell you that there is far more to naturist
life that just this, for many it is the great social
life that exists in many naturist clubs, for some the
sport is an integral part of being a naturist, for some
it is the relaxing environment that a naturist club
offers and all while having the added bonus of not having
to wear clothes.
|
Springwood
is no exception to this; you will find a large range
of members, some who like to keep active and participate
in all the sports on offer and some who prefer to relax
on the sun lawn and enjoy the sun but they are all very
friendly and new members are always made to feel welcome.

Springwood is situated in about 7 acres of woodland
and has changed much in the 50 years since it was established.
Whilst much of the original woodland remains we now
have a range of more modern facilities for members to
enjoy. A new pavilion was constructed a few years ago
which is used mainly during the evenings and for social
events during the summer. We also have an older club
house which is nice during those colder evenings when
everyone can gather round the fire. The club has a number
of sports facilities including two miniten courts (miniten
is a sport similar to tennis played exclusively in naturist
clubs, see the sports page for more information), three
petanque courts, a volleyball court, a heated outdoor
swimming pool as well as a table tennis table and darts
inside the pavilion.
|
The
club has about 50 campsites most of which are allocated
to members, with additional sites available for visitors.
The majority of the members campsites are taken up by
tents, however, recently members have erected chalets
on their sites.
