      Access to Hot Springs is Worth Every Penny!

      There are a few hot spring resorts that we keep in the back of our minds, always ready to return whenever we’re within striking distance…and this is one of them!  A good friend who used to live in T or C raved about this place, and let’s say she was not wrong. 

      While the campground itself isn’t much to write home about (just a parking lot across the street), quick access to the pools, the environment, and the scenery are simply amazing. The campsites are full-hook up slots, tastefully divided by local plants and shade trees, but very close to each other. You’re within the city limits, but it feels somehow more like a quiet neighborhood. 

      The resort offers showers, bathrooms, and of course a multitude of pools at different temperatures to balance whatever the weather might throw at you. With nothing but the Rio Grande River, and the Chihuahuan Desert sprawling into the distance, the resort is serene, and feels a million miles away from the interstate which is only a couple miles away. 

      Even with the electrical hook ups, we still gathered all we needed with our solar powered system, and our south facing campsite was perfect for satellite internet as well, even though the resort has some spotty wifi. 

      The town within walking distance has everything you might want, especially if you like New Mexican cuisine, the answer is always “Christmas” WYKYK. Gas, food, Walmart all close by, etc. it’s all there. 

      Nearby is the Elephant Butte State Park with a massive reservoir for all kinds of boating recreation, mountain biking and hiking. Just make sure you go at the right time of year! Also check out the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge if you are at all interested in birds and other wildlife.  You'll find reviews for all of these places on our The Dyrt Reviews.

      Hot Springs Glamp Camp

      Amazing glamping stay!

      Highly recommend this gem. It’s tucked away and such a cozy and slow place to stay. We stayed in a campsite for 5 nights. Highly recommend more than one day so you can enjoy the springs and the town! It has lovely clean hot spring tubs that are open 24/7. It’s an intimate camp so we rarely had to wait for a tub. Also has clean bathrooms and showers and a grill. 2 blocks away from Main Street and 2 blocks from the Rio grande. Great host and great service too.

      Nice place

      This is a nice place overlooking Caballo Lake there are only four transient spaces. Most of them are long-term people I would happen to be lucky enough to get one. The cost is $26.31 if you pay cash and a dollar extra for credit card they have showers bathrooms Wi-Fi full hook up.

      Amazing Nightime Hot Springs

      What the other reviewers have said regarding the gravel spaces is totally true. What I wish to add is that the springs at night are amazing. We got there at 9pm and there were three other people there which were hard to spot as the place is fairly large. There are multiple pools with differing temperatures. Everything was quiet and beautifully lit. There were ample places to sit ranging from lounge chairs, to regular chairs, to hammocks. One of the pools even had two macrame swings. There was also a sauna and two outside showers. The spa sits on a water way and across the water there appear to be condos that were also lit up. The nighttime serenity and views were stunning. We will return in the morning to see what that experience is like, but even if it doesn’t compare, it’s very worthwhile even if you only go at night.

      Basically a parking lot

      The hook ups are all There and it’s easily accessible to the hot springs , but don’t expect any privacy or space. You’re paying for a parking space to have access to the hot springs . We’ve stayed here 3 times , it’s always clean and everything works. I love the hit springs but would prefer to stay in my rv than an overpriced room. You cross the street and you are in the hot springs , even gravel parking. Wi Fi is great , there is a convenience store within walking distance. Free coffee and tea in the morning, overall a safe and clean place to stay while you visit the Hot Springs.

      CG has 6 sites (1 looks permanent), nothing to write home about, but the ho

      We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were here for just an overnight in site 4, the alley side. We had no issues getting backed in after dropping and parking our tow in the overflow next door. There is a butte mural on the wall across from the alley sites, which helps the view“a little”. The campground is small, but does have shrubs between the sites, but then you’re not here for the campground. This was our second visit and we really like this hot springs. They have both private and“public” pools of various temperatures. There is also a park and“bark park” just a block away.

      Just perfect.

      Multiple hot springs tubs, private and not private. New water every time you soak. Lovely outdoor living room with bbq and fire pit. Spotless bathrooms. Hosts are so kind.

      Soak yourself

      The rv sites are narrow and short, but you're not here for the rv park, are you?? It's all about the soak, and staying as an overnight guest allows you unlimited access to all of the communal pools. The pools do NOT disappoint, especially at night when the crowds die down to just the overnighters. Don't miss Full Moon Kitchen, the food truck next door, for your breakfast in the morning. Yumm!

      Hot Springs Glamp Camp

      Wonderful hidden gem! 🌴🛀🌵

      This is a cool & nicely maintained RV/campsite with a few permanent vintage trailers & a yurt. It is only a short walk to Main Street but it is very quiet at night. Highlight: It includes access to incredible mineral water baths built out of kitschy farm troughs!

      The sites are separated by corrugated walls, so there is a nice amount of privacy while still having a cozy, vintage, community feel. The bathrooms are very nicely maintained and clean, and there is an awesome shared space with a fire pit. We planned to come for one night and stayed five! Can’t recommend it enough. Did I mention the mineral baths?!

      Perfect road trip stop!

      I can’t say enough good things about this place. Situated right on the river with awesome hot springs! There multiple pools to chose from and for privacy. They have running water and showers too. A cute little hot spring cat hung out with us in the lounge area around the pool. The springs & camping are located right in town and it really is a cool little town!
