We always have a good time here. Great RV spot with access to plenty of off road trails and other adventures. After a day on the trail come back for a relaxing time in the multiple pools and hot tubs. A dessert gem for sure!

Was in the area and wanted to find a day use hot spring and stumbled upon this location. Such a cool find! Had many different pools of different temperature levels and even single soak tubs with sauna and bathrooms with showers on site. We were also the only ones in the pools. The man working the property was very helpful and kind. Showed us everything we needed and then went on his way. Highly recommend if looking for a relaxing inexpensive pit stop. Saw a lot of camp spots and bungalows on our way out as well.

I showed up around 7pm without a reservation and Cal the manager came by the office quickly after I called the number posted on the door. He was great - friendly, got me a cabin close to the hot springs, showed me where it was (I was on a bicycle) and made sure I had what I needed. I will definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the area.

Just had another magical weekend camping here. This place is a gem. The riding is fantastic, and relaxing in the hot springs after a ride feels like pure luxury. The pools are clean, and the sites are all well maintained. The owners are lovely, always available and a pleasure to chat with. I highly recommend this place to anyone. We can’t wait to come back.

Even though the campground is being renovated (100+spots) it was a great retreat. Cal (the owner) was so helpful and full of history. The camp spots on snob hill were long and level. The restaurant was only open on the weekends right now so we didn't get to use it ÷. We didn't use the WiFi as we had Starlink so I can't comment on that. The mineral pools were amazing! Several pools with different temperatures made it workable for everyone. The bathrooms and showers were big and clean. Even the laundromat was nice. We drove our razrs right from camp and there were lots to see. Would definitely recommend this place and we will be back. We camped in a Motorhome with a trailer. There were four rigs in our group.
