There wasn't really any signs on where you check in & where to park. We seen the pool with people in it so walked all the way around the building to find the entrance. They had a sign saying use hot pools entrance which we didn't know where it was at. The pool next to the hot pools was closed and the walk to get there was hard for me. They advertised pizza but found out you would have to drive down the road to the zip lines to eat anything. I haven't been here for about 50 years and isn't how I remembered. It was clean and well taken care of. They had suit and towel rentals available that were reasonable. For not having a pool close to hot pool they should have offered a discount. But it was still enjoyable. The reason I say a discount is because for seniors and disabled the walk would be hard. It was a pretty drive.

Was told by locals if we went to Heise hot springs to vist the pizza place. We did . Great pizza at a good price. Thin crust with far amount of toppings. Would go back if not traveling. Next to a golf course. Large camping area and hot spings. Not much of other to see but pretty drive to it. It was well worth it.

Nice place to spend time with a group of people. The Zipline was fun and the guides were helpful and nice. Miniature golf was fun but a little hard to find.

We loved it! Most camping spaces are shaded with nice grass. The swimming pool and hot pools were great! The pizza was amazing. Highly recommend!

First time visit and we will definitely be back. Wish they offered a better price for families though. We have 5 kids and it cost $96 months to access the pool.
