This place was a awesome place to stop and have a soak! We were just passing though and were able to soak in the hot springs for 10 bucks a person. It’s a nude only hot springs and you can rent a towel for 1 dollar extra. It was well worth it!

We stayed here for one night and it’s such a nice place! It’s a bit alternative, so it has to be your type of a place. We paid 50 dollars for a. RV and 2 adults. We could use one private hot tub for two hours for free; the non private ones unlimited. To use the private ones it’s 15 dollars per person per hour. You can also build a campfire at your place, or just join the campfire with some other guests with the guy who runs the place. He also makes hamburgers if you want one.

El dorado hot springs was nice for a dip. What some of these descriptions don’t tell you is that is $10 per hour per person for the public springs(except it’s all nude all the time). For an additional $5 per person per hour you can get a private pool provided they have space.

The perfect spot after a 7 hour drive from LA. The birds were amazing - so vocal, and peaceful to watch them while soaking in the tubs. The atmosphere was so relaxing, the water is rejuvenating. I slept so incredibly well after the 2 soaks about 7 hours apart. It's refreshing to see quirky places with personality.

The soaks are included in the price for the stay. That makes it a good deal. If you don't want to soak, this is not for you.

I just called them and they charge $30 for one person. $20 for each additional person. If you actually want electro it's an additional $5. That is the most ridiculous price I have heard!!! We camped for $20 in Yosemite and they think this ugly place is worth that!!! Boo!!!

We stayed here in our camper van Feb 2017. We enjoyed our stay. We had an electric site to plug in. We soaked in the public soak area and the sunset private soak pool area. The public soak area is "nudity required," so be prepared for that. There are peacocks that roam the property. That's fun! I think the price to camp with electric (for two people) was upper 40s, but don't exactly remember (that includes two soaks in a private tube and also the public soak area). There is a bathroom with a flush toilet. If the wind dies, there can be a lot of flies because there is a large industrial chicken farm nearby. We were lucky on our visit in that it was breezy during our stay, keeping the flies at bay. I thought it was a nice place. A bit quirky, but that made it more fun. We will definitely camp there again. You can tent camp also and there are some rooms that include private pools.

The place is a bit run down with finding a working electrical outlet at the campsites in the center court area hit and miss and some boards getting loose on walls, but I think this stuff makes it kinda fun and unique.

I returned recently and stayed at Katie's Corner (all the sites have names) and had to run my electric cord a bit of a ways till it reached a working outlet on a light post. It was a weekday so I had the place almost to myself. I am told it gets crowded on weekends and you would need reservations for that.

The guy that runs the place and his assistant were very friendly and welcoming. It's a really funky type place so be prepared for that and not something fancy and elegant.

PRO TIP: You get 2 hour long soaks included in one of the private soak pool with each camp day, so reserve a pool as soon as possible to increase your chance of getting the pool you want. All the pools are nice, in their own way. I toured each one and thought the Desert View pool had the best view. Another good one is the Pond Tub that has a fish pond next to it. But really all the tubs are nice in their unique ways. I didn't find a bad one at all.

See our attached blog post for photos from our stay.

Google Maps has a lot of photos of this place including a few I have put up.

Been twice, a few years ago and again Jan 2020. Funky but fun atmosphere, odd management, LOTS of flies, very noisy. I can put up with just about anything but this policy: if you wish to use the public tubs, you MUST do so nude. I'm a senior gal traveling alone, but being nude doesn't normally bother me, but on this last visit, there was a large old man who said he was local and a "regular" here, who was in the public pool area sporting a TON of jewelry piercings on his genitals, and talking incessantly about his sexual preferences, conquests and swinger life, continuing even after I said I wasn't interested in hearing about it. The rules said I HAD to be nude to use the pools with this guy or rent a private tub? REALLY? (Matt, you need to ban creepy people if you want this policy.) Also, fyi, the water is just warm, rarely over 90º (it is not hot). Next time I'd consider stopping for a quick warm soak and shower ($15 for an hour), but will stay nearby at Saddle Mountain BLM! :0)
