Shepherd Hot Springs

Shepherd Hot Springs is a unique dispersed camping spot, but it was pretty busy when we visited. Because the hot springs are tucked into a relatively small area, campsites were packed closely together with a lot of vehicles and tents competing for space, which means, it was pretty noisy. That said, the view of the Sierra Nevada mountains is absolutely phenomenal. The dirt road in is bumpy, so a high-clearance vehicle is strongly advised. If you’re looking for solitude this might not be the place, but for mountain views and soaking in the hot springs, it’s a memorable stop.
