I was here in the thick of summer with no A/C and not even a fan, so I sweltered and felt like I lost my body weight in sweat. That said, this is the closest spot to the Kirkham Hot Springs and I would totally recommend it for that reason alone. I ended up going on something of a hot spring tour throughout Idaho and Montana and it is so cool to see these geothermal wonders. As a camper, you are much closer than other visitors who have to park outside the gate. There are a couple of different pools with different temperatures, so you can find one that suits your fancy (and isn’t as crowded as the others, hopefully). Tons of trails in the area.

** NOTE: I was recently informed that the camp section of this area is not open as of July 2022 and it is day use only, but the campground is expected to reopen at some point after renovations. Check conditions on the ground before you go.
