      the Inn at Benton Hot Springs

      Pure Relaxation & A Must-Know Big-Rig Access Tip

      Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com

      If you are looking for a truly unique, tranquil getaway off the beaten path in California, The Inn at Benton Hot Springs is tough to beat. We recently stopped here to decompress on our trip to Glacier National Park, staying in Hot Tub Site#2, and it was hands-down one of the most relaxing nights of our entire journey. 

      The Soak& Site Experience (Site#2)

      Each campsite here features its own dedicated, private natural hot spring tub.

      • Cleanliness & Water: Site#2 was immaculate. The tub was spotless, and the mineral water was piping hot and easy to adjust to the perfect soaking temperature.
      • Privacy& Seclusion: The layout offers exceptional privacy between sites. You get uninterrupted desert and mountain views, completely dark night skies for stargazing, and total quiet.
      • Booking Tip: This place is no secret among seasoned road trippers—plan well ahead, because these private tub sites book up fast.

      CRITICAL PRO-TIP: Big-Rig Navigation on Highway 120

      If you are pulling a large setup—like our 39-foot Keystone Raptor toyhauler—pay close attention to this arrival strategy to save yourself immense stress:

      • DO NOT attempt a right-hand turn into the campground driveway from westbound Hwy 120. The angle is practically a 180-degree hook, flanked by a telephone pole, a narrow gate, and tight fencing. It is physically impossible for a long trailer to clear without clipping something or blocking the road(speaking for a friend, of course!).
      • The Turnaround Maneuver: You must be facing EAST to safely enter the dirt driveway. Drive west past the main office and look for the wide dirt turnout directly across from the intersection of Highway 120 and Yellow Jacket Road.
      • The Smart Check-In Plan: Pull into that turnout to temporarily park your rig and complete your U-turn. From there, take the easy 100-yard walk back to the office to grab your paperwork and check-in packet. Once you're set, you will be heading east, allowing you to make a smooth, wide left-hand turn directly into the campground entrance without sweating a scratch.

      Nobody wants to be the camper stuck across both lanes of Highway 120. Following this route will save your nerves, your trailer skirts, and your tires.

      The Hitched4fun Verdict

      Benton Hot Springs is an absolute gem for anyone traveling Eastern California. Once you navigate the entrance, having your own private, steaming mineral tub just steps from your RV door makes all the driving worthwhile. We will definitely be back.

      P.S.  Absolutely no Cell Service.  Bring a Starlink Dish.

      Baker Creek Campground

      Nice to have the creek sounds at night

      Stayed at site 24, next to the creek. Near toilet block and trash. Winds were blowing so didn’t make a fire. Overall a nice camping spot, next to creek and it wasn’t too crowded either.

      Tuff Campground

      Great Spot tucked right off the highway

      I really like this campground, easy off the highway 395, enough room to maneuver a 40’ trailer, stream running through with trout for days. The Tom’s Cabin restaurant within walking distance and the Eastern Sierras fills your view. Would definitely recommend and will come again.

      Junction 95 & 266 Dispersed Site

      Good rv boondock spot

      Road is fine - large parking area - minimal road noise - no toilet or water but if you are in an rv that is not a problem. Had a good nights sleep!

      Convict Lake Campground

      Beautiful lake!

      Convict Lake is stunning 🤩

      You can rent kayaks, SUPs and little pontoon boats from the marina. I wish I brought my own paddle board.

      There’s also a nice 3 mile hike around the lake that’s pretty easy or there’s also a 0.3 mile paved path around it too to make it even more accessible.

      There were a lot of sites when you first enter that were not level, I was happy when I got to the North side of the campground where the sites leveled off. Most of the whole campground would be suitable for Starlink.

      I stayed in site 50 and 51.

      The trade off for doing the North side is that it’s a further walk to the lake.

      The closest grocery store is 15 minutes up in Mammoth lakes, there was a little resort nearby too.

      Big Pine Creek Campground

      Five stars Monday through Thursday, three stars for the weekend

      If you’re looking for a great camping experience, I highly recommend this campground—five stars from Monday through Thursday, but be cautious about the weekend, where it drops to three stars. I love small, rustic campgrounds, and this one strikes a perfect balance; it’s not too small and not too large. The camp manager does an outstanding job keeping the bathrooms clean and the campsites well-maintained. I arrived on Monday, the 26th, and stayed through Thursday, and it was an absolute dream—quiet and peaceful. Most campers were seasoned anglers, day hikers, or backpackers. This place is for those who cherish authentic camping during the week, seeking solitude and a chance to recharge. Isn’t that the essence of camping? However, my weekend experience in a different campsite was a major letdown. It was overrun with weekend warriors who disregarded camping etiquette—loud and rowdy. Many of them hiked to the lake, and at one point, I thought a UFO had landed in the campground, only to discover it was just city campers with string lights everywhere. A few tips: the photos online can be quite misleading, so choose wisely when booking. In my view, there are about ten really nice campsites, but some are much better than others. And unless you like a boisterous scene, I wouldn’t recommend camping on the weekends. I enjoy country music, but I prefer to keep it low-key after 10 PM. I would certainly come back again—but only on weekdays!

      Convict Lake Campground

      Classic High Sierra Campground

      Many sites initially sloped but level near parking pads. Good for smaller RVs and tents. Clean restrooms with flush toilets and sinks. Easy uphill walk to lake. Saw deers in campground and bear swimming in lake. Beautiful 3 mile level walk around lake. Large level day parking lot near lake if want to stay after 11am checkout. Showers and restaurant normally available at resort. Shortcut through campground to get there. Good view of mountains behind lake - but not lake itself - from most camp sites. Paved roads and sites... but cracked every several hundred feet due to wide temperature swings. No cell service for us (Google-fi and Spectrum mobile). Overall good stay.

      Convict Lake Campground

      Epic views of rhe lake from several of rhe sites

      Stayed two nights. Sites are fairly close together. Narrow roads throughout so not recommended for big rigs or trailers. I believe they have length restrictions. I have Verizon and had zero service. Would get an occasional email mid morning. There is a restaurant and general store within driving distance. Restaurant is pricy. Not your typical campground restaurant. Market has ice and snacks. There is a great 3+ mile easy hike around the lake. There are two known bears that roam the campground at night. DO NOT leave your vehicle unlocked. They know how to open car doors and will ransack your vehicle in search of food. Met a couple on a hike that had it happen to them and then it happened at the campsite Nextdoor to us the following night. No showers, vault toilets.

      Highlands RV Park

      The Highlands

      Easy check in. Good laundry and bathrooms. Inaccurate 3rd party dump station cost is not $5 it is $20 if not staying overnight. Full hookup cost $50. Reasonable considering changing economic environment

    Guide to Dyer

    Dispersed camping options surround Dyer, Nevada at elevations ranging from 4,800 to 9,000 feet. The region sits between the White Mountains and Fish Lake Valley, creating a high desert environment with temperature swings of 30-40°F between day and night. Most primitive campsites require self-sufficiency with water supplies and waste management.

    What to do

    Stargazing sessions: Volcanic Tableland BLM Dispersed Camping offers exceptional night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. "The Milky Way was shining bright. Got some decent star shots," notes a camper who appreciated the astronomical visibility.

    Hot springs soaking: Visitors to Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs can enjoy thermal waters with multiple temperature options. A visitor describes, "Having been to most the hot springs in Nevada, this is definitely the best. Super clean, beautiful and remote. There is a man-made pool and then several concentric pools coming out from that each cooler in temperature."

    Bristlecone pine exploration: The ancient trees near Grandview Campground make for fascinating day trips. "We were fine, but we passed a lot of complainers. It's worth listening to the ranger's talks at 11 and 2pm," shares a visitor who hiked the Methuselah trail.

    What campers like

    Mountain panoramas: The contrast between desert valley and alpine peaks creates striking views. "We had zero AT&T service. Starlink had speeds up to 8 MB/s and we had DISH coverage on all of the western satellites," reports a camper at Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs who also noted the "view of the snow capped White Mountains to the West."

    Quieter camping periods: Midweek visits often mean fewer people and more solitude. At Volcanic Tableland, a visitor observed, "There were only a few other campers here when we stayed the week before Christmas and there were plenty of spots open. Even when it's busy, it seems like you can always find something."

    Wildlife viewing: The wetland areas attract various species. "A lot of animals near the water (frogs, ducks, birds, cows, fishes)," noted a camper at Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs, highlighting the ecosystem diversity at desert water sources.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Many access routes require careful driving. A camper at White Mountains Despersed advises, "Be prepared to drive on dirt roads to get here," while another visitor to Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs mentioned, "The access to the spot was 30min of dusty road but flat enough to drive at 35mph in a campervan."

    Elevation effects: Higher elevation sites cause noticeable physical impacts. A Grandview Campground visitor shared, "I live at sea level so I don't sleep wonderfully at this kind of altitude, but that isn't the fault of the campground," while another camper noted they spent time "getting acclimated to decreased oxygen content at higher altitudes."

    Insect awareness: Depending on season and location, bugs can be problematic. "The flies were terrible," reported a Grandview Campground visitor, even though they found the restrooms "clean and well maintained."

    Tips for camping with families

    Facility planning: Choose campsites with appropriate amenities for children. Brown's Town offers more developed options with "playground, western town and store with ice cream and beers. Great place for kids."

    Activity spacing: Schedule downtime between adventures to account for elevation adjustment. A Grandview Campground visitor recommended, "We loved checking out the bristlecones and looking over the ridge at the dry lake in the distance," as a relaxed activity option.

    Weather preparation: Bring clothing layers for dramatic temperature shifts. "Even at 8000 feet, it was hot during the day and cooler at night," noted a Grandview visitor about the temperature variation.

    Tips from RVers

    Power management: Solar setup can work well in this sunny region. A camper at Pleasant Valley Pit Campground found the area "great for our solar and love of the sunshine, but not for shade seekers."

    Site selection strategy: Arrive early to secure level spots at undeveloped sites. "There were plenty of large spots that were spread out enough to feel private. Spots had fire rings," observed a visitor to Volcanic Tableland BLM area.

    Service planning: Cell coverage varies dramatically between locations. A Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs visitor noted, "It's nice to be in the middle of nowhere, without any service," while others reported finding workable connections at higher elevation sites.
