Glen Eden is about 10 miles south of Corona, California in the foothills of the Santa Ana mountains. These mountains block the coastal clouds and fog so it’s typically warmer, drier and sunnier than areas closer to the coast. It’s an easy hour drive from most of Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino and only 90 minutes – two hours from the Los Angeles area. Although suburban sprawl has come within a few miles of the resort, it remains isolated enough that you’ll feel you’re in another world once you pass through the gates.
Weather
Winters can be cool or quite warm, with daytime highs in the lower 60’s to the mid 70’s and even warmer during Santa Ana winds. An indoor heated pool and clubhouse allow year round nude activities. Spring and fall bring warm days and cool nights, while summer days are often in the 90’s, with beautifully warm evenings.
