About Brushwood
Come and relax in this beautiful, fun and friendly environment. We are surrounded by lots of green space: grassy fields, and forest with walking trails and a labyrinth. Brushwood offers rustic, secluded, clothing optional camping on 180 mostly wooded acres near the town of Sherman in rural Chautauqua County, New York. The campground is equipped with showers, flush toilets, a swimming pool and hot tub.
Please familiarize yourself with Brushwood’s rules especially if you are unaccustomed with a clothing-optional environment. We expect everyone to exercise a very strict code of conduct and harassment of any kind is not permitted.
We have three covered pavilions near the main camping area, providing plenty of “rain or shine” outdoor space for performances, workshops, lectures and ceremonies. We also have a heated indoor lodge for year-round use.
Brushwood’s offers tent sites, trailer sites, RV sites and cabins. There are no day passes.
Spring and summer gatherings at Brushwood are camping events. Come prepared to take care of yourself while living outdoors. Even in July and August, evenings and early mornings can be cool and damp, so bring a few warm things and at least one good blanket.
Potluck dinners: Brushwood offers occasional opportunities for the community to meet and share meals together. Everyone is invited to participate in a potluck dinner–please bring a dish to pass and your own individual place settings. Be prepared to help set-up or clean-up as well.
Plenty of firewood is available at Brushwood. Do not bring your own wood to burn. Local woods are in jeopardy of being infested with the Ash Borer.
Pets are not permitted at Brushwood, because of the risks to the animals and to other campers. There are kennels in the area that can board your dog during your stay at Brushwood. Call Brushwood before your visit for information about boarding your pet.
