Directions

Keep right at the 3-way split at mile 5.7 .The entrance gate has 2 very tall telephone poles with a large Bowen Ranch sign hanging, drive in 1/4 mile to a large green tent to check-in. If you see an old shack cabin with a small hot springs sign, you are at the WRONG place and need to immediately turn around and get back on Bowen Ranch RD. WARNING! Do NOT even talk to the guy at the shack or he will give you wrong directions on purpose and detain you with a 20 minute long crazy rant.

Great spot in the high desert away from the city & next to HOT SPRINGS!

  • Easy going campground with all the necessary amenities for camping and a great spot for our large group of 18 adults & 10 kids to gather and camp out together. You will have to drive 6 miles of mountainous dirt roads to reach the property, but it takes you away from all signs of the city and surrounds you in nature when you get there, making a very nice camping experience.  The spring pools at our site were so relaxing to have all to ourselves and well worth it to reserve for our party! The deep creek hot springs were absolutely fabulous, as they were situated next to a cold creek where we could do therapeutic hot cold plunges. The hike to the hot springs was fairly tough, but we found it easily with the trail starting right on the property! Definitely recommend camping here, just make sure you download directions prior so you don't end up at the wrong place and run into a crazy guy at a shack next door!
