Beautiful relaxing getaway!!

We booked camping here as a great way to access the hot springs at Orvis. It’s $50/night per person, and you have access to the hot springs all night! The campground is basically just a gravel lot but has beautiful views of mountains and grazing cattle. There was plenty of space for our 21’ travel trailer and saw bigger rigs as well. Pets allowed in campground area. There is a kitchen available during the day as well as free coffee in the morning. There are multiple ponds to soak in, free showers, free lockers. The stars were beautiful at night and the crowds really cleared out after daytime visitor hours. Our favorite time was early morning- drank our coffee in the south pond (that we had to ourselves!!) and watched the birds.

Orvis Hotspings

It’s $60 for a full 24 hour pass to the springs and amenities (showers, bathrooms, kitchen, WiFi, water) as well as camping. It’s an absolutely lovely place if you’re looking to splurge one night.

Love it here. Be nice to it.

This is my second time here and it is always such a great experience. I don’t even want to brag about it because I want to keep it to myself.

Fantastic experience

We camped here overnight in October. We love to go to hot springs and thought this place was a 9/10. They had 10 tent sites and spots to park your camper or van. We called the same day and they were able to accommodate us that night. Price is a little steep at $50/per person per night but it includes 24/hr access to the hot springs, showers, coffee, etc. The tent sites are nice with fire pits and raised platforms. This place is super casual but well maintained which is what appeals to its charm. Staff is super friendly.

Small campsites but amazing got springs

For camping, it is more like a parking lot. However, this spot is close to everything in both towns. The hot springs are amazing. Much more natural than commercialized. They have many pools including a silent area and one that is 4’ deep. Will certainly be back!!
