The short answer is no. I hope nobody takes my personal experience as normative!
I once started an essay on this subject, but I can't find it right now. I do think that Genesis 3 gives us a lot of information about what nudity is. In God's perfect creation, it was normal. In the fallen world, it is an exposure or type (as in allegory) for sin.
I really think nudist colonies, somewhere in their thinking, hope to reverse the curse and the Fall by their actions. Of course, that is futile, regardless of whether they profess Christ or not.
