These waters may have energetic factors such as the powerful ionization, mineralization, gases and PH variations.The mineral content of the waters may increase metabolism, accelerate healing, soothe muscles, improve blood circulation and detoxify the body’s lymphatic system.
These mineral hot springs located near Paso Robles may impart a wide range of benefits and are at times recommended for individuals who suffer from such conditions as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, burns, arthritis, poor circulation, and other disorders.
Cars take the right hand dirt road, everything else take the left hand road and follow the lake around to the camping area/hot springs. Keep lake on your right hand side.
Norm and his kids run a cool spot. This is a cozy zone that isn't too overbuilt. I like the quasi-natural atmosphere with gravel pit pools and a water pump dumping hot water in the pools. If you're expecting a world class spa, this isn't it, but a quaint and fun spot to kick it for a few hours. Cool geology! They offer camping too!
Awesome Hot Springs around Paso Robles! I went on a Saturday afternoon while it was raining. The cool downfall of the rain mixed with the constant running of hot spring water was exquisite to say the least. Nice little picnic area surround 3 hot tubs and one large pool. It was only 10$ to get in. Apparently they have a camping area too if you plan on staying a couple days or more. I was very impressed with the ambiance of Franklin Hot Springs and it’s welcoming staff. I will definitely be back!
This spot was awesome. Anyone that leaves a negative review of the spring has clearly only been to ultra developed chlorine “springs” at resorts and what not. Y’all should stick to cities lol. This is a real natural spring, and it’s soo nice. Water is a very comfortable hot temperature, the pool is extremely spacious, deep, fresh. The family that owns it is friendly and helpful! Really nice people and we talked to them for a while. The showers to rinse off with before/after is fresh water from the spring source, so super full of the minerals as well! Cool to be able to leave clean, yet still with the minerals working wonders on your hair and skin. $10 for the full day is great deal to. Better than any of the developed or natural springs we’ve been to in the area. Highly recommend!!
Before you pass judgement give this place a chance. At first when you pull in you see some older trailers, vehicles and yard art and 2 goats on the center pond island. There are about 5 spots for smaller trailers (ours is a 20ft pulled by a truck) and some camping sites for tent camping. 3 spots have electric, but not meant to run AC. We were in spot 1 which gave us privacy and shade; looking out to the pond, island and pasture beyond. Got a nice morning sunrise. The nights were peaceful and quiet.. Picnic table at site. No fires. There was a BBQ by the hot spring to use. Not super pristine, however the hot springs and pool were relaxing and had a large picnic area. A family run business passed down for generations. Friendly owners and staff. Gates lock at 9pm and we felt safe. Only reason I gave it a 4 star is the place could use at little sprucing up. For the price $35 a night, with use of the hot spring we found it a good value. We would stay again.
