The hot springs are great. I asked if I could use a camp sight for the nigh, I told them I am self contained with a great heater. I was not allowed to stay there. So I just parked down the road.
I have been to many developed hot springs and Miracle stands out as among the very best. The campsite is rustic, with closely spaced sites and two riverside group camps, one of which has water access. A small stream runs by the campsite bringing warm water, which makes a great place to sit in your lawn chair. The hot spring pools themselves are fantastic. Newly built, 21 individual tub rooms plus a big, deep swimming pool with perfect temperature water, a hot hot hot pool, a more shallow less hot big pool, and another pool yet! The changing and shower facilities are modest and clean. One thing that truly stands out is how welcoming they are to everyone, making bathroom and hospitality available all the time. As a senior, not only was the daily entry a mere $6.36, but I felt super safe everywhere there. It was hot in the day and warm at night, so you could wander around in shorts. The location in the high desert is enchanting and the night sky is huge. I stayed for about a week, wandering around to all the cool stuff to do nearby.
Let's just say we aren't going back. 6 viable spots to camp, one next to the bathrooms and garage cans, one next to the highway and 3 in the middle crammed together. One tree for shade. They haven't put money into the place since inception and while the swimming area is good for a day trip if you are already close by (lots of locals) I wouldn't call this a destination. The river is near by so lots of kayaking is available.
Let me start by saying my husband and I are outdoorsy people. We’ve lived in our van, we’ve lived at sea, we are used to rustic conditions. I booked Miracle hot springs group campsite after reading many many raving reviews on the the Dyrt, Google, etc. HOW no one commented on the nose hair singing cow feces smell in the area? HOW no one has mentioned the thousands swarming flies? In October? Is beyond me. The pools were completely packed on Halloween weekend. Barely enough space to park and certainly not enough space to quietly enjoy a rural hot spring. The one redeeming quality of the place was that the gentleman who checked us in was very kind. It was not enough for us to want to stay around however and we left immediately afterwards in search of a new place to stay. Book with caution.
This campground is in connection to a beautiful hot spring complex. We got the last spot which they called the overflow. It is a nice grassy spot behind the bathrooms. The other spots were great for pull-through RV's or tent spots.
It was busy on a holiday weekend but we didn't feel like we were being overrun with people and the pools and tub made it all worth it.
There is also a large group spot down by the creek. Beware of mosquitos down there though. We just walked down by the group site before they came and were immediately bitten.
The bathrooms are well maintained and super clean. They are cleaned each morning and restocked. The staff is very helpful and sweet.
There are showers up by the hot spring pools. I would recommend renting a private room for$40 to soak in your own tub. It was great during the pandemic to have fresh clean water in your own private room.
This spot also has geodomes surrounded with apple trees to rent out if you are looking for a more cabin-like feel.
There is also an alligator on site too. She looks pretty old and is pretty lethargic but is very pretty.
Stayed here one night at the end of June. No sign of COVID restrictions but seemingly everything is opening back up. Pull through spot was standard fare, not crazy crowded nor particularly spacious. We did enjoy the hot springs in the morning, springing for a private pool. Worth noting that there was no wifi or cell coverage (T-Mobile or AT&T), so plan accordingly!
It was only 6 steps from one site to the next. Cost was exceptionally high for the pool/hot spring access. Plus the $20 for tent site. Would not go again. We went for the night sky, but the close proximity other campers made it not so good. Also, I dont usually mind bugs but this was ridiculous!! Showers were nice though.
We stayed at Miracle as Banbury was fully booked for RVs sites. However, it was great to be steps away from the river.
No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane).
No one in their hot springs (including staff) were wearing masks or setting suicidal distant rules. No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit. Oh, and you'll have a great breeze of manure all day long.
Had a 36 foot RV rental motorhome. Site#6 worked well as it was a pull thru. No sewer or dump tank but clean grounds and well taken cc are of facilities.
Get a VIP package- its worth it
Great hot spring camp site. They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site. I stop by every time I swing through Idaho.
recently updated- the pools and surrounding areas are well kept. pools feel so good with the different temp areas. staff was friendly but not helpful.
domes were clean and the bed and bedding was comfortable.
Campsite is great for RVs n has 2 campsites for large groups. Next to river n hot springs. Great for adults, families n groups. The hotsprings are awesome. There is an alligator on the property in the back, really cool for the kids. There was a couple of nights that were really windy n cold. Days were great. Lots of shade to stay cool.
