Does this make sense to anyone? I can't say I really 'get' nudism, but I give the benefit of the doubt when they talk about it being natural and body-positive. However, when they talk about mandatory nudity, I can't help but feel icky about the whole thing. Probably they are worried about non-participating observers, but the phrasing just makes it seem creepy.
I'd hate to be one of the few/only women who show up, only to be told "You know the rules. Topless, at a minimum  ."

Yes, because the main part of a nudist event is the nudity aspect of it. If you are going to show up completely clothed, there's no point in you taking up the limited space at a nudist event.
Given currently how society view males and females, the only way for a male to be 'nude' is to be without a swimsuit at all, so to speak. Since North America is still hung up on breasts as sexual organs, uncovering them has always been considered partial nudity, and not something that can be done at a usual public event/place.
Basically, they want to ensure that their event is for nudists first and foremost, and the other curious folks second. They are basically just making sure that the theme of the event is respected, if you will.
