A brilliant weekend at the nudist camp? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stark

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the nudist camp?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'a brilliant weekend' is the wordplay.
'a brilliant' becomes 'star' (I've seen this in other clues).
'weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'star'+'k'='STARK'

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stark that I've seen before include "Harsh, bare" , "Austere" , "Unmitigated" , "stern" , "Unadorned" .)
