Reservations are required at Norris Hot Springs, and they fill fast, especially on weekends when live music draws larger crowds to the pool. Sites run $33 to $44 per night, and campers who book a spot get access to the hot spring for just $3 per day, a notable discount from the standard $8 per-person rate. The campground sits just off a highway in Norris, Montana, so road noise is a real factor for light sleepers. Earplugs are worth packing.
The roughly ten sites are compact and close together, divided by trees and lattice fencing that provide partial privacy. RV sites have full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, with a listed maximum length of 50 feet, though at least one reviewer with a 29-foot fifth wheel felt close to the limit on the steep gravel driveway in. Campers report the entrance road is bumpy and descends sharply, so larger rigs should approach with caution. The tent sites are clustered separately, with a portable toilet nearby.
The on-site facilities are a consistent draw. "Bathrooms are nice private rooms with showers and modern," notes Alyssa L., and multiple reviewers echo that the bathhouse ranks among the cleaner ones they've encountered at campgrounds. A cafe operates on the property, sourcing ingredients from an organic garden on the grounds, and draft beer and wine are available. The hot spring itself is closed on Tuesdays and reserved for private soaks on Wednesdays, so checking the schedule before arrival is essential. Nearby alternatives include Revenue Flats and BLM Trapper Springs Recreation Area for campers who want dispersed options in the area.
Dogs are permitted but must remain on leash at all times, and generators are not allowed. Book well in advance for any Friday or Saturday stay.
Description
The 'Water of the Gods' is a series of artesian springs, flowing at a constant rate of 80 gallons per minute and an average temperature of 129 degrees Fahrenheit. Locally milled fir planks have been laid directly over the source to create our unique 40' x 40' pool.
Our simple sprayer system creates the perfect soak by circulating the spring water and cooling the pool to a pleasant temperature below 100 degrees in the summer, and as warm as 106 in the winter.
The pool holds over 38,000 gallons of fresh, hot mineral water, which is drained every night to allow it to refill with fresh, hot water over the course of 8 hours. The pool is drained and pressure washed once a week, with no chemicals of any kind used to clean the water or planks.
The overflow and drainage from the pool is diverted through the neighboring wetlands to follow its natural course, flowing five miles east through the canyon where it joins the mighty Madison River at the aptly named and wildly popular Warm Springs Recreation Area.
