Located on 160 acres in close proximity to the Deep Creek Hot Springs. Rural property with natural landscapes in the mountains of the high desert. Showers, bathrooms and running water on site, no RV power hookups. Private hot spring rental and glamping tents available. Large group sites available, secluded sites, event venue available. Ziplines on site.
Follow Bowen Ranch Rd for 6.2 miles. Keep right at the 3-way split at mile 5.7 .The entrance gate has 2 very tall telephone poles with a large Bowen Ranch sign hanging, drive in 1/4 mile to a large green tent to check-in. If you see an old shack cabin with a small hot springs sign, you are at the WRONG place and need to immediately turn around and get back on Bowen Ranch RD. WARNING! Do NOT even talk to the guy at the shack or he will give you wrong directions on purpose and detain you with a 20 minute long crazy rant.
Stayed here in April 2021. Sites were nice, close to hot springs, and hosts were decent. What I didn't like was to see razor wire on the fence. I honestly couldn't see the point. There are lots of wildlife in the area, lovely as it is. Razor wire is not acceptable anywhere outside of a concentration camp or prison. I think the owners don't see the forest for the trees. Will not be returning and won't recommend.
My husband and I wanted to go hiking and experience the hot springs as well as the zip lining, we were excited. Went on line and realized there are to areas offering the experience, the Bowen Ranch seemed to be the most credible due to website, however NOT the case!!!
The website directs you to pass the green tent and water tower to assure your at the right location…we get there and the registration site looked abandoned with old RVs parked out there and filthy dirty, funny cause the signs all around it are telling you to take your trash with you.
No one was there to assist you with maps or directions or anything!!! There are a lot of painted signs to direct you to leave your money in an envelope and placed it in an open mail box??? Very unprofessional.
The whole experience was very disturbing, we felt very uncomfortable, it gave off Chainsaw Masquer vibe, not what I wanted to experience. We tried calling this George guy on the slip they leave for you to fill out, to ask more questions, but he never answered and his voicemail stated not to leave a message…
If there are beautiful hot springs out there we sure didn’t get to experience them, due to how unprofessional and scary the registration setup seemed…
We do not recommend this place, if something happens to you, no one knows your out there, they leave slips for you to fill out but if no one is there to greet you or accept them, no one truly knows your there? It just doesn’t seem like a safe experience to me.
Highly risky and suspicious
I didn't go here. Someone used my Google account and hacked everything in my Google account from emails, the stocks market, google apps, cellphone and bank account. Please investigate and fix this problem please. Thank you.
I own 12 ac 5 mi from Deep Creek Hot Springs on the eastern fork headwaters of the Mojave River.Wild trout waters barbless hook 2 trout limit from Willow creek to Devils hole. I’m seeing EMS responding for unprepared hotspringers and recent competing neighbors have stolen the patented name and charge a free for traveling on an established OHV route with an open designation on the USFS/BLM route network map. The ‘New’ buisness owners are using the Bowen Ranch/Deep Creek Hot Springs name and are deceiving the public. I did in the past sit with Gertie Bowen and the original Bowen Ranch house is the fork to the left + at the right place.Mike Castro is good people+helped many over the years
Came here yesterday and we all had such an amazing time!! The owners were so sweet and helpful and guided us to the trail entrance when we got lost on the way over. There was a bathroom for us to use as well before the trail that was really clean and nice. They also let us pet their horses and had so much respect for the land and for animals.
The actual hike wasn’t too long, less than an hour to get down and a bit longer to come back. Even hiking after the sun set, we felt very safe. The springs were beautiful and so worth it!! We came during the fall so the weather was around 50-60 degrees which I think was perfect, I would recommend coming here during cooler weather.
