What a wonderful gem in the desert!
Scenic, rustic and oh so delightful!! The people running this are totally AMAZING! They are kind, caring and courteous. I Parked my rv for a day, it came with unlimited hot spring time. The water is not boiling hot like some, not sure what the temperature is, but it is just perfect for long soaks. By the time your hour is up, your plenty hot.
I highly recommend this little jewel. Day and night it is a wonderful way to soak and enjoy the great out of doors! All you need is a robe, towel and footwear ( flip flops, etc.) Complimentary soap, shampoo and conditioner are at every shower. They have a communal area as well as private areas - the private areas should be reserved as they are popular. Come, soak, enjoy a peaceful retreat in the desert, you'll be glad you did!
My mom is the one who set up most of this excursion. The websites I saw were set up strange so I think it might be best to call. From my understanding, it was around $20 a person to sit in a sort of rock hot tub hot spring. Not exactly sure of prices but I believe it’s hourly. Surrounded by a fence to separate from the other tubs. Website mentioned clothing optional, but it was a family trip for us so we kept our swimsuits on. There was a bathtub next to the hot spring with cool water in it, but it had a lot of leaves in it. Pretty views of desert out the back. We went on a hot day in the middle of the summer so I couldn’t tolerate the heat really well. As a jeep girl, I loved the jeep they had with the hot springs name on it! Free range chickens.
Mind you, the people that run it are really nice. They had clean places to change and to shower. But these are not hot springs. They are warm.....tepid. Hot springs are from 95° - 104° to qualify as such. These were maybe pushing 90°....the warmer ones anyway. The one I was in was no more than 85°. So, it amounts to a mineral water soak. I can get that and hotter water in my bathtub.
Enjoyed a very quiet soak and layed back camping. I had a huge spot for my rv and electricity. Communal soaking au natural or private pools to rent! I’m a single older lady and felt very comfortable here.
When you arrive it might seem a little sketchy (especially with zero cars in the parking lot), but there was good signage to point us to the office/check in. We were greeted by two very nice guys, and my girl asked "where's the hottest water?" and they pointed directly to the right of the office which was the duck pond private area which I have pictured. It was absolutely gorgeous and we got lucky that the next reservation was a little over an hour from when we arrived so we took it right then. Quite beautiful, quite relaxing. And they do take cash or card.
