The Best Camping Near Big Pine, California

Keough Hot Springs is a private campground located outside of Bishop.  The campsites are under cottonwood trees or on a dirt hill next to the pool and hot spring facility. There are flush toilets and showers.  It’s not a great camping experience, but making use of the spring fed pool and hot springs makes it worthwhile.  The hours are not great if you’re looking for an early morning or late evening soak.  The springs and pool are closed one day a week so be sure to check before you arrive if you want to take advantage of them.  The facilities are really dated and haven’t been kept up, but if you are on a road trip along 395 and want a place to stop and soak it’s worth a stop.  There is a desert garden walk and an old dilapidated building of the original hot spring site.  The pool area doesn’t open until 11 so we rode our bikes down the dirt road, looked for the overhead electrical lines and found some open hot springs.  We had the place to ourselves and it was deep enough to sit in and get a good warm soak.

Oasis along 395, decent overnight stop

$40 for site with power and water,  $35 without. $10 hot spring/pool entry per a person for camping guests. $2 per a person for 6 minute showers.  Depending on how bad you need a shower there are showers in the pool area for a quick rinse before and after using the pool so you can save your $2. I would recommend the pools, they are awesome. Camp sites are pretty close together but all places seem to be around here. 

A nice place to stop

I don't think this place has had much work done on it since the 90s. But it's quiet and has trees and grass.  The pool is fun and nice and warm.  

Dated but still a great place

Nice little campground.  Some sites bigger than others so be sure to ask.  We got #2c which is tiny and a little uneven.   Nice shade throughout the campground.  The pool is nice and was very full on a Sunday afternoon.  If you want hot springs with peace and quiet just walking out the entrance to the free pools.  The pool in the campground also has a snack bar.  Very friendly folks here.  

Great small campground with hotsprings

The people here are very friendly.  Not fancy by any means but is clean, the camp sites are decent but no sewage hookups. The pool charge is separate but well worth it to me, it is a warm mineral water pool the leaves your skin feeling amazing.  We stayed in campsite 8C and were the only ones on that side.  It was very quiet.  The rate for hookups, water and 30 Amp electric is $40 per night and the pool cost is $10 per person if camping on the property.
