Had a great three night stay in the RV park. The mineral pools were lovely. There are cool, warm and hot pools as well as private tubs. Showers were hot with plenty of pressure. We didn’t realize this was a launching point for OHVs and after our first quiet night, the place was full of family and loud with ATVs driving around everywhere. Loud music all day and late into the night. Not exactly our scene as a retired couple but people were friendly. Great place for families to gather though. Cal and his staff were wonderful and made our stay pleasant. We probably would not stay again but only as a personal preference for quiet, less busy parks. Overall a nice place if this is what you like.

awesome location, great trails, pools & hot spring tubs are great. The Mobile Home we stayed in was super outdated and not the cleanest for the price. the onsight manager was very sweet.

Booked a two week stay at Glamis North Hot Springs. Having such a wonderful time that I decide extend my stay another week. There are multiple pools full of water from the hot springs that are different temperatures. The views of the Chocolate Mountains and the desert are like nothing I have ever seen before. I came here with my puppy from Canada, and we will be back again next year. It has been a wonderful experience. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Such a disappointment! Based on the website and description, I was expecting a nice hot springs resort. Instead, this is a rundown, overpriced campground with some pools that they filled with hot springs water and called a resort. There is no country club, sites aren't level, there is debris all over the place. Tons of flies everywhere during the day and the pools were FULL of bugs at night, like you will step on them and wade through them. I don't think there was an open store/restaurant. The hot springs pools do not seem to have different temps, they were bathwater warm. While I was there, one pool was empty and the individual tubs werent working. The sauna was nice, but watch out for hot water splashing up and burning your skin, as there is no guard or screen. I didn't get to use the facilities as much as I wanted, as it's apparently randomly locked up. There are no hours posted for the hot pools on the website, in my welcome email, or on the gate. Yet, you randomly lock it up during daylight hours?!?! Overall, I wish I would have stayed at one of the other two places along the same road. If you are thinking of visiting for the hot springs, save your money and go somewhere else.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! We visited Glamis North a few prior times. Loved the experience and was so excited and looking forward to our stay.. our son graduated from AIT in the United States Army and was home visiting. He requested visiting glamis North. Opening weekend Thursday-Sunday! NO RESTAURANT, OFFICE, STORE opened all weekend! Only 1 dirty regular pool , we had to clean all the bugs out of. ALL NATURAL springs hot tubes CLosed, DIRTY NON OPERATING.. Upon booking and email to check in didn’t state Under staffed and all amenities are closed! Don’t mind paying but to pay and not use Any isn’t right! We could just have dry camped, no difference. They offered credit not a refund, not acceptable. I will be disputing my charges as many customers their stated they were going too. So before going I suggest calling to insure some or all their amenities are opened for service.
