I always enjoy the unisex open showers at the French camp sites and naturist holiday centres which I visit but there don't seem to be many in the UK. The only ones I know about are at Clover Spa and Hotel, a small establishment in Birmingham where there are three open showers next to the sauna and plunge pool.

    The German spas I've visited were mostly communal unisex, as are the spas themselves.
    I'll be staying on nudist campsites in France next month.

    I have just remembered the communal shower at Evesham pool (since replaced), which was unisex and naked showering was strictly forbidden. I had changed for my swim and needed to shower to ensure that my bottom was clear of faecal matter (a side effect of a major operation for bowel cancer). I was told off quite firmly when I tried to remove my costume, so I returned to the pay desk to ask where I could shower naked, explaining the reason. I was escorted to a non-public part of the building on an upper floor to shower.

    Which French sites would you recommend? I travel in my motorhome to France every year and it would be good to visit some sites

    [quote]Which French sites would you recommend? I travel in my motorhome to France every year and it would be good to visit some sites[/quote] It really depends on what yopu are looking for. There are large sophisticated camp sites like Euronat with pools, spas, supermarkets, other shops, bars and restaurants on site all of which can be used naked down to smaller family run sites in the "Naturisme et Terroirs" group which offer a more intimate experience. The official list of all camp sites in France is at [url][link]/link/9dfab94fb9560cb7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FtcGluZ2ZyYW5jZS5jb20v[/link]https://www.campingfrance.com/[/url] and if scroll down to advanced search at the bottom of the page under "Type of campsite" you can select "Naturist camp." I have always enjoyed the [url][link]/link/a903349d1fed120a/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmF0dXJpc21lLm51L2hvbWUuaHRtbA%3D%3D[/link]Naturisme et Terroirs[/url] sites when we travelled with our trailer-tent and later when we used their ready-pitched tents and chalets. For a large site with all facilities try the [url][link]/link/9c493e6591c3cd34/aHR0cHM6Ly9yLnNlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20vX3lsdD1Bd3JrTVdLUTByMW9IalFDYUJ4M0J3eC47X3lsdT1ZMjlzYndNRWNHOXpBekVFZG5ScFpBTUVjMlZqQTNOeS9SVj0yL1JFPTE3NTcyOTk0NzIvUk89MTAvUlU9aHR0cHMlM2ElMmYlMmZ3d3cuZnJhbmNlNG5hdHVyaXNtZS5jb20lMmZlbiUyZi9SSz0yL1JTPWcuQzVuTHhMNS41d1lIc2sxWDkubW1pdHNHSS0%3D[/link]France4Naturisme[/url] group.

    Great memeories of being in unisex showers on French campsites, sometime on clothed sites as well as nudist only.

    [quote]Great memeories of being in unisex showers on French campsites, sometime on clothed sites as well as nudist only. Tim[/quote] My memory is that the clothed sites with unisex showers had cubicles whereas the naturist sites had only open plan showers although one or two also had cubicles.
