Soaking in geothermal pools is the main draw at Valley View Hot Springs, a clothing-optional property managed by the Orient Land Trust in the San Luis Valley outside Moffat, Colorado. Around a dozen natural pools are scattered across the land, some reachable by a short hike, and campers report that soaking with snow on the ground in winter adds a distinct dimension to the experience. The valley views from roughly a third of the roughly 20 campsites are open and expansive, looking out across the broad basin below.
Campsites are simple and mostly exposed, without much shade or privacy. Electric and water hookups are available, though hookup sites are limited in number, so RV campers should confirm availability when booking. Amenities include a communal outdoor kitchen, sauna, bathrooms, and showers, all of which reviewers consistently describe as clean. The property draws an eclectic mix of visitors, including international travelers, which gives the place a social atmosphere some campers find engaging. One 2022 review flagged concerns about water quality and algae, worth noting when planning a visit.
Demand consistently outpaces capacity here. Reserve well in advance, especially for weekends and shoulder seasons. Nearby, Joyful Journey Hot Springs provides another hot springs camping option in the region, and dispersed sites such as Major Creek Trailhead Dispersed — BLM San Luis Valley offer a free alternative a short distance away. As Morgan Y. notes, "this place is not for everyone," so campers who are not comfortable with nudity should weigh that before booking.
