Mid June 2023 stay Neat place with several hot springs pools. Roads in are long, washboard and Dusty. Was passed by a ranger on way in. 😀
Friendly campers.
Cicada bugs and Donkeys serenade you night and day.

I like this place a lot. Very comfortable and the visitors are generally friendly. Not much trash given how much it’s used either. Be advised though as the burros will serenade you at night. I’ll be back.

We didn’t camp because it was extremely windy and forecasted to get down to the teens, so we just soaked and kept going. I’ve read reviews where folks parked their vans right in front of the one main pool- please do not ever do this. It’s a lovely spot, and nobody has a right to hog the pool. Be respectful! There are plenty of spots to camp around the area with east access to the pools.
The pool was hot, perfect for a cold, windy day, and clean. Thanks to all before us for keeping it clean!
Also, someone’s missing a big set of keys- if it’s you, they’re right by the blue pool. I hope you get them back.

If you like hot springs, this is a great place to go to. The water isn’t as clean as some we have been to but the experience and place overall is very relaxing and peaceful and the mountains are so beautiful to look at. There are 4 separate pools/tubs and they are all very separate and private. One had gold fish in it but was to cold to get in during cold months. The others were are great temp around 102-105. There were a few other campers during our stay. The first day there was a group camped right on the main soaking tub, which wasn’t ideal for others to use that tub but they left after the first day. Other campers were around but were quiet and kept to themselves. One “camper” decided to find us on social media to complain to us about our generator running (2hours the second night and 1 hour the morning we left) as well as she complained about the size of our rv. This doesn’t bother us because we did nothing wrong but just be aware of the type of people there don’t understand rvs when they are staying in their vehicle.
The road out was very washboard and was around 6miles of washboard but we have a 40’ rv and just took our time driving at a steady pace and had no problem at all. Lots of places to camp big rigs all around the area as well.
Overall our stay there was awesome. We tried two of the main tubs and they were both very awesome. Will for sure be back if we are in that part of Nevada again!

This place is dirty, the hot springs had gross floaty things in it and the grounds are dirty from campers throwing trash around. This place needs some serious TLC. The only plus is it is very quiet and stars at night are amazing.

They are donkeys not burros that come in the evening to drink the water. They can be a little noisy when other people try and get to close! We had antelope, jack rabbits and big fat field mice Also come visit.
We only went to the first “watering hole” and it was 113 degrees so be careful, but it was so quiet and amazing

We had a great experience despite really heavy wind and rain. It was neat to hear the donkeys at night. We were also able to see an antelope grazing by the top spring. Only negative was the road. I wish they would gravel it.

The wind was a little intense at night from a storm but besides that everything about this place was great. It’s a gravel and dirt road but if you keep a certain speed it’s not too bad going down.

There are some flying insects, but surprisingly we didn’t notice any mosquitoes. The water is pretty hot and the tubs pretty slimy. The kids really enjoyed playing in the water. Not too crowded but there were several people coming and going.

We stayed here May 16-18. I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to in this case. I definitely don’t want to warn everyone off of this beautiful area. The area is very remote (which is normally something I like) and the dirt road out there is very, very washboard. It’s fine for smaller vehicles, but we have a 29 ft motorhome. So if you do come out here in a bigger rig just know you have to go slow. There are four hot springs. The first one you come to is a cow trough and it has algae growing on the side. The second one is further up the hill and is beautiful and has a natural bottom, so mucky but fine. There is another one thats farther left past the cow trough one, it was another cow trough but I was told it was cleaner and a good temperature. The one farthest away was the coolest and not only had goldfish but a lot of algae. Like way too much. We stayed on like a Wednesday and Thursday I believe. Wednesday night was awful, people coming and going all night. All the springs full. Thursday everyone had cleared out and we had the natural bottom spring to ourselves. It was hot but nice. Beautiful scenery. Wild burros and rabbits and coyotes. I would have really enjoyed my stay, but my dog woke me up on Friday morning. She let me know something was up then promptly went limp and started pooping and peeing all over herself uncontrollably. We didn’t have phone service and had to drive maddeningly slow to get to the nearest vet who told us to drive another 2 hours to a bigger town with a better vet. Long story short she had been poisoned, they think rat poison. She was almost dead when we brought her in. They saved her life, but it cost us about $1,300 and quite a scare. We have a 1 year old son as well so we are just thankful that it wasn’t him. She was on her leash almost the entire time (except her late night pee where she runs out and comes back) and I never saw her get into anything. I know this is a long post, I just wanted to give some valuable info about a truly beautiful place, but also warn others if you have dogs or small children maybe skip this stop.
