“hot n steamy”
Travertine Hot Spring lies on California State Park land just south of the town of Bridgeport along Route 395. It is one of the easiest hot springs to get to and features a stunning view of the Sierras while you bathe. All types of people visit Travertine, including the nearby park rangers, campers, families, couples, and single travelers. Limited camping space is available on the short dirt road leading to the hot springs, but is not allowed in the immediate area of the pools. Directions - Take Route 395 south of Bridgeport half a mile. Turn left at Jack Sawyer Road, just before the Ranger Station. Follow Jack Sawyer Road approximately one mile. Road may close or be difficult to travel on with snow.
Pools were small but nice and warm. Easy to get to. Check out the Buckeye Hot springs not far away as I thought these were better.
Contrary to this description, there is a bathroom there, just no toilet paper or trash. The hot springs are nice and also pretty shallow. Some people are nude, some are not. Your personal choice. It's a nice relaxing experience, but be prepared to take a shower afterward, because the sulfur smell is not a lovely scent to wear all day. ;)
Definitely a 5 rated, especially for the views you get while sitting in the pools.
Free and open 24 hours, this clothing optional attraction is the perfect spot to visit at night under a full moon or meteor shower. Be prepared to share your pool with others, but eventually you'll have the place to yourself at night if you wait it out til everyone heads back to their campsites and hotels.
Please,please, please people..if you are going to DO IT in the Hot Springs, choose one that has a little more privacy. Not the location right next to the parking lot! Gee-rosss....what a buzz-kill. My daughter and I WERE excited to see nature....I guess we got more than we bargained for?! {:-/
So amazing taking in the view and enjoying the hot spring. Stayed there for about an hour from SLT to Yosemite, well worth it!

It gets a three because of how easy it is to get too, very popular spot and just a few small pools, great if you can get there and don’t mind getting chummy
Loved this stop on our road trip between Reno and Death Valley. The snow made the short drive off the highway a bit adventurous, but worth it! Wear your shoes to the pools but otherwise it’s clothing optional. With my teens, We chose one farther from the parking area, and a nearby cool pool offer the option to plunge into snowmelt between heating sessions. One of our family’s favorite stops!
Beautiful!! A must see
