Heated deep within the earth, these crystal clear carbonated waters are world famous for their mineral content and legendary healing powers.

We went after Labor Day weekend and this place was empty. It was like we had the place to ourselves. We stayed on the river at Site E4 and it was perfect. The river was running hot from all the rain, but there is a little beach area downriver that was perfect view of the AT across the river and upstream as the sun was coming over the ridge. Even with some rain, we built a huge fire and enjoyed our time at this campsite. It probably gets really crowded in the summertime, so I recommend going in the off-season for the peace and quiet.
We enjoyed it. Spots are a tad close but lots of trees so it isn't too bad. Access to the river and town are great. We had a trailer. Hookup was easy although the water was below ground so kind of muddy. Speaking of which, the sites become shallow ponds in the rain. But we'll be back.
The facilities were very clean. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Inexperienced RV'ers may find it difficult to park depending on the spot. The grounds were wonderful. Its very nice. Excellent proximity to town. Less than a minute by bicycle and so close to the beautiful French Broad. The place is hard to beat and not terribly expensive. I'll go again.
Hot Springs resort is a very nice campground built along the French Broad river. On one side of the highway is check-in and the hot tubs and lodge. On the other side is the RV & tent campsites built between the river and a railroad. Sites are situated among old growth trees with access on hard packed gravel roads. There are several river access sites with picturesque views interspersed among the parking. The town of Hot Springs is within easy walking distance with a few descent restaurants and shops. Not a lot of extras such as a pool or extensive playground. Some noise noted from the highway and rail tracks. Recommended for a leisurely getaway.
