Camping by hot spring

We showed up around 3 am and the main loop was taken so we slept in the little parking lot for the hot springs. (Didn’t know at the time that’s what it was lol) it was quiet and we woke up to a great view. There is a 0.2 mile walk out to the hot spring. Visitors to the hot spring did start showing up pretty early in the a.m. Would be a fantastic spot if you are lucky to get the loop to yourself!

Small but comfy

There is a small parking lot & a turn around for cars, it’s not as “dispersed” as advertised. We were able to get our van to the side of the turn around and have no immediate neighbors, but the main “lot” holds about 8 cars & is the trailhead to a hot springs. Night time was quiet, but definitely lots of visitors during the day for the hot springs.
