It's a nudist resort. We sayed there for a weekend on our thru, just to take a few days off. Great place at that time.

"A few days OFF" Ok, I don't care who you are, that's funny. :banana

I'm thinking that is one place on the trail where you can get ALL of your clothes clean at the same time, AND even out your hiker tan just a bit. Just be careful you don't burn your tush :p

Since I am originating my hike in Palmerton, I expect that will be my first stop

I see from the website that some weekday rooms are just $45 (for 2 people). Seems like a bargain.

30 X 60 pool. Laundry on site.

2 Professional volleyball courts and a nightclub.

Hmm, nobody mentioned that in my "Are there any campgrounds near Lehigh Gap?" thread... :D

OK, I know this is an OLD thread, sorry, I just got to thinking about it:

Just wondering if there are any other places within a few miles of the AT like Sunny Rest?

I did a search as best I could, the closest one I could find was a 2 hour round trip by Highway. As a hiker I don't think I could afford a 4 hr cab or shuttle ride (61 miles one way at about $2.00 a mile, um NO!), even IF I could get one.

Don't know if I would ever stop there,,, likely I would / could, but I got to thinking that the "wash all of your clothes" option would be great! And the week day camping fees seem semi reasonable if Sunny Rest is a good example.
I know you need a towel, but I bet Palmerton (or most any other town) has a "Dollar store", & last week Dollar General had 2 for $3.

This place is 12 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park (approach trail):

They offer pig roasts, bonfires, and nude hikes.

Don't look now, here comes Billville....

They also have an annual 5k race. I think that would hurt.
