Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

If one is taking Ghusl in a place of concealment (where none can see him), then it is not necessary to cover oneself. However, it is preferable and more in conformity to the dictates of Hayaa (modesty) to cover one's private parts even while taking Ghusl (bath). (Fataawa Mahmoodiyah vol.4 pg.387; Mazhari)
