Good vibe, poor hygiene

We loved the vibe here and had a great time, but there was trash—literally a pile of beer cans left right next to the spring—and my husband ended up catching a pretty bad case of ringworm from the pools. Yikes

Once was amazing- now not so much

Once there was a beautiful, clean, well kept hot spring but because of tourism and disrespectful people coming and going it quickly became a dumpster. There was once a shack that gave shelter over the main pool, which was blown over by winds. Once upon a time people came weekly to clean the pools along with the trail which is no more. There used to be a bathroom along the trial and it has since been torn down. One or 2 of the pools have been torn apart and are no longer there. The bathroom at the parking lot most of the time has fences smeared all over the walls and urine everywhere. The water in the hot springs is often filthy with Ecoli and is cloudy. It’s really sad to see what people have done to such a beautiful natural wonder. I’ll always have such good memories here but never again will I go.

Amazing place but filthy

This place is breathtaking, however there was a literal human shit sitting right outside one of the hot springs. Very filthy and overrun with people

Great Nature - Interesting People Watching

This is a day use only area, but there are quite a lot of long term "campers" in the area who live in the woods nearby and use the hotspring as their bathing facilities. Expect plenty of nudity.

The hot springs themselves are lovely. Go with a sense of humor and appreciation for the nature and you'll enjoy it.

We camped at the nearby Toketee Lake Campground which allowed us to visit the hotsprings just before sunset when it seemed quieter. It was also a smokey August because of fires, so there were fewer tourists than normal.

Use at your own risk

Primitive hot springs, heavy use and not very safe. Steep scrabble trail up slope to hand dug holes. Toilet paper and human waste around area.

Technically Day Use Only But...

It seems the new rules that have designated Umpqua Hot Springs Trailhead as "day-use only" aren't quite being listened to by some determined hot springs-loving campers. When I pulled up early on a Friday morning there were several established looking RVs in addition to campers and cars. That took up quite a bit of the parking lot, and what used to be camp sites have clearly been closed up nearby by the forest service.

That rule-breaking aside, the Umpqua Hot Springs Trailhead is easy to reach and the hike, while steep, is fairly easy and definitely short. There are bathrooms both at the trailhead and along the way to the hot springs.

The hot springs themselves were clean and well-maintained and, while nudity is definitely on the menu, all of the other bathers were quiet courteous and respectful.
