Hot Springs Campground & Hostel

The pit toilet was clean, and we liked getting a discount for camping. Our pull-through spot was pretty level and pleasant, though narrow enough that we left the slide in. The hot springs pool has changed since our last visit, but it was still nice. I do wish there were another water spigot besides the one by the check-in building.

A short walking path takes you from this nice camping spot to the Hot Springs facility. There are both back-in and pull-through sites, and the dump station is easy to get to. Only electric sites are available, and you can fill your water tank, though the water isn't the best for drinking. Plan to cook at your camper.

The staff were friendly and informative, and we were here eight years ago too. The trees look fantastic this time of year. There’s good space between the individual sites, most of which are pull-through, so you don’t feel right on top of the other campers.

It’s handy being able to walk to the hot springs, and the people are nice. There’s no water at the sites or laundry, which would be good to have, though I guess the price reflects that. The dump station was the worst I’ve used: it was muddy, one spot was hard to reach, another was too high for gravity to work properly, and the rinse water had low flow. There’s lots of construction at the hot springs for a lodge and houses. They should bring some equipment over to pave or gravel the dump area.
