I have seemed to notice that the clubs that define themselves as nudist clubs are "generally" more conservative and family oriented. Those clubs which are Clothing Optional clubs seem to be more geared to a party type environment which includes evening dances that have lingerie nights and more adult themes. In the region where I live, I have been to both the nudist clubs and the clothing optional clubs. One CO club has greater numbers and better amenities, a more upscale facility but there is also a much more apparent party and drinking crowd. The behavior tends to be slightly more sexy or racy if you will. Two of the "adult" type Clothing Optional clubs in Florida have received a great deal of discussion lately as they have given up their AANR status.
The nudist clubs are more rustic and the night time activities are more geared toward pot luck dinners and movies by the pool. A much more family feel in my opinion. I have been to Cypress Cove and they have some great upscale facilities and I have also been to a CO club near the beach in NC and they were definitely a family oriented facility.
I would like to hear from others about there experiences and whether the CO clubs tend to be a more party crowd as compared to the traditional nudist club. Is there a line of distinction?

If one were to do a census of US C/O and nude resorts, with an emphasis on which has more of a "party atmosphere", I have a good feeling the C/O resorts would come up as the most "party-friendly." I think it kinda makes sense: the nude resort is probably going to have a more "purist" approach, and therefore place more emphasis on the family, everyone being comfortable nude, and activities that involve adults and children.
Of course, there are always exceptions. Never been there, but I hear Serendipity (Ga), a C/O resort, has one of the most family-oriented environments. And I have also heard of a Ca resort where nudity is mandatory, and drunkenness is frequent.

I believe that I have found the same to be true in my limited experience. I have seen some activities taking place at the the CO club that I know had sexual overtones or at the very least was rated R. For example, A woman should not have to rub sunscreen on a man's penis. He can take care of that with his own reach (the man was showing signs of arousal when she quit) I have also seen some pretty drunk and uninhibited people hanging around the clubhouse when the evening party was about to start. The choice of optional clothing was certainly provocative by most standard. Maybe we should have a rating system like at the movies. G, PG, R etc

On the same note, I was once with my family at a rustic, nudist resort. It was a great day: plenty of kids, everyone was nude, interacting and participating in activities; my daughter was having a blast running around with the other kids. Later that evening, as I was relaxing by myelf in the hot-tub, this fellow I had noticed earlier joined me. He then decided to be openly frank with me: he had been bored all day. He was a member of a C/O resort, and was lamenting the lack of "adult party atmosphere" that his habitual resort was famous for. He even told me (and I have no idea why he shared this with me) that he had several "encounters" at said C/O resort. I had been at that resort (perhaps the very same resort you attended, Ga), and never returned after noticing overtly sexual behavior.
But that's just one example. Some nudist families are very happy with their C/O resort.

We're not certain the choice of clothing optional dress code versus mandatory nudity determines the sexual tone of the establishment. From our observations, THAT depends on whether the owner/manager is a nudist, and whether the management consistently looks the other way when sexual activity occurs. Some non-nudist club owners could perceive this behavior as profitable for the club in the long run.

Since my wife is a little apprehensive about nude recreation, my thought was the CO resort would put less pressure on her but if CO is more likely to include a more adult party atmosphere, I would need to stay away form CO resorts in General

We've been in several nudist environments, but my Wife and I have not encountered anything "Clothing Optional."

Since it's quite on-topic for this discussion, while we're at it why don't we enumerate the clubs and resorts we know about into two lists, Clothing Optional and Nude Only.
Just list the ones you know about in your post. Any twists in the rule you can mention too, for instance, the beginner's courtesy for a first-timer, or clothing in the nightclub.
Or, just share with us what you know about the differences between Clothing Optional and Nude Only, such as whether the CO clubs tend to be a more party crowd as compared to the traditional nudist club.
