SWOC is a members-run naturist club on a four-acre woodland site on the Dorset and Somerset border, roughly halfway between Dorchester and Yeovil. It is deliberately rustic: rainwater flushes the toilets, solar panels light the clubhouse, and there is no mains drinking water or hook-up, so you bring water from home. The clubhouse has a wood-burning stove and gas cooking, and there is a miniten court and a pétanque pitch.
It welcomes experienced naturists and newcomers, including single people, and caravans, motorhomes and tents are all welcome. Day visits are £5 and overnight stays £10. If you want to join, an application fee of £10 covers your first two to five visits. The club also hosts naturist caravan rallies through the summer.
