Challis Hot Springs & RV Park

I can’t say enough about the beauty of this place. The 2 hot springs on the property is the perfect ending of the day to melt any stress away. Or you can sit by the lively stream and meditate to the sound of flowing water. Everything is meticulously maintained.

Warm comfortable water in the large pool, very hot water in the small pool that is more akin to a hot-tub in temperature. Water is super clear in both pools. Park staff is helpful and easy to work with when entering to pay for admission. Overall great experience and would reccomend!

Challis Hot Springs: A Relaxing Soak in a Rustic Setting Challis Hot Springs is a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural hot springs of Idaho. The facility is simple and rustic, with bare-bones amenities, but the two pools are fantastic. The water is clean and hot, perfect for soaking away aches and pains. The setting is beautiful, with views of the surrounding mountains and the Salmon River. While the amenities are basic, they are adequate. There are restrooms and showers available, but don't expect anything fancy. The focus here is on the hot springs experience, and in that regard, Challis Hot Springs delivers. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Challis Hot Springs. It's a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. If you're looking for a luxurious spa experience, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a relaxing soak in a beautiful setting, Challis Hot Springs is definitely worth a visit

Great place to RV with hookups. Some tent camping as well. Fishing nearby is good. Come here twice a year we love the older style and charm of the hot pools and hope the purchase by the State will leave it "as is" making improvements without tearing down the existing look and feel. Some dressing partitions in the male and female rooms would be a nice change rather than an open room. Recently, we were there and had hoped for a more polite exit point with new staff being in place but were disappointed. We know you have lives and would like to get back to them, but just showing up and barking "pools closed, everyone out!" Isn't exactly charming.

We don't often stay in developed campgrounds, but when we do we want one exactly like this! Beautiful grounds with nice spots (tent spots have nice spacing between them), great views, right on the river, gorgeous forest walking trail, clean restrooms, and of course 2 amazing hot spring pools. The pools are concrete with a nice pebble rock bottom - very clean and well maintained. A nice warm one for hanging out longer, and a separate area for a small hot one that will cook you nicely like a lobster 🦞 ! What an awesome spot to stay for a night or for several days.

I'm a Monthly Membership Gal!!! Love it. Heads up for families: Children under 18 are only allowed in pools when family is Camping there due to insurance reasons

Love this place (second time here) and the people who run it. Well spaced RV sites with some right on the river. The facilities are old and maybe a little ragged around the edges, but once you jump into one of the hot spring fed pools, none of that matters. Please note...They no longer have B&B service, just RV camping and day visits.

Excellent experience we Loved the smaller hot springs . Thought we lost a wallet it was looked for kindly. We found it at home. Thank you will visit soon 😊

We drove an hour and half to come to the hot springs and they wouldn’t let us in. They did not notify us of the 18 years or older rule until we got there. Not worth the drive. 😡
