Chill, open, rustic, and beautiful
Camping for 4 nights. Pay is per person and $10 extra for full RV hookups. It’s open, and hot. It would uncomfortable without air conditioning. The hot pool and outdoor smaller pools are hot but not super hot. It’s mineral water and lovely to float in the indoor pool. No picnic table or shade. There are cabins.

Middle of Nowhere Surprise!
This funky little private resort and campground, on the way from nowhere to anywhere, has more than you might expect from first glance. The large, dry camping area offers a large field for folks to spread out without being on top of each other. While there are a handful of hookups sites for RV’s, we preferred the less expensive field option. They have a couple of pit toilets near the field, as well as a full bathroom and shower area. With our solar powered system, we were able to keep our battery topped off while taking advantage of all that the springs have to offer, which is just a short walk away.

They also offer some tiny cabins for rent, each with its own unique rustic charm. The public bath house has a large indoor swimming pool, clean changing rooms, sparkling bathrooms and showers. The outdoor, natural pools are what make this place so unique. Three pools, three differing temperatures helps folks find their own “just right.” The springs have a decidedly rustic charm, with lots of converted farm buildings and antique features, so you might want to adjust your city expectations to a more rural and rougher edged setting. But hot water on a very cold night with views of the starry sky above are just the right about the right cure for whatever ails you.

The springs are located about midway between the larger towns of La Pine and Lakeview, around 70ish miles from each, where you can find large grocery stores and services. A few convenience stores, gas, and post offices can be found in the tiny hamlets along the highway. It is a remote, lovely and quiet spot on the edge of this large lake.

Drive/Ride-In campground with wonderful, developed hot springs
Back in July 2019, my buddy and I rode our motorcycles to this camp/hot spring. I had heard of this place from another friend on Facebook & this was our destination. A wonderful ride to this easy-to-find site. Everything from full-service cabins to rent and RVs, down to what we used, tent camping. Beautiful but spartan tent camping area, portable toilets (clean), and cable spools used as tables. The hot springs were WONDERFUL, with both indoor (bathhouse) and outdoor pools. If I recall. clothing optional after 9pm. The operators of this facility are extremely "green" in thinking, with the re-use of most building materials, etc. Their website is excellent and gives more details. Highly recommend!!

Rustic perfection
A favorite spot, great if you are content with dry camping (we are). Can’t beat the views, birds, wildlife, or sunsets here. This is a Dark Sky sanctuary - so many stars. Caveats: bring food and water, as there are limited (and expensive) groceries in nearby Paisley. The water is hard enough to stand on therefore bring your own (you don’t want coffee made with the water, but I wouldn’t turn it down if I were farther from civilization). It can get very windy here. A totally calm day is rare. Hot springs are clothing optional after 9pm, which is a huge plus for us as nudists who hate cold, soggy bathing suits. Surrender yourself to the sky and scenery.

Clear sky's, hot water.
Clean campground with amazing views from the bathhouse. Full hookups on level pads and cabins if you left your rv at home. Hint. Take a warm, fluffy robe and good sandals for your walk to and from the soaking pools.

Campground/Eco Resort Next to Hot Springs
This is for the camping portion of the campground, I did not stay or see the inside of the various cabins available. The camping area is just a large open field area where people can park/camp where they would like. This would work well if you had a large group and several RVs wanting to be next to each other. There are also no tables, which camping in your car during the winter not having a table to put my stove on made it a little bit more difficult to heat up water/food. If I remember correctly I didn't really pay anything to camp, mainly just to access the pools. The main pool area was a large pool like area with a barn like covering. This pool was not hot at all and the amount of children splashing and playing did not make it very relaxing. The pools outside were a bit more quite and a bit warmer but filled up fast and only comfortably held maybe 20 people and wasn't scolding hot if you like that sort of hot springs. Also the changing rooms had no glass window panes in them so the large "window" let in all the wind. Which I was there during a high wind storm with freezing temps. This means it was miserable changing into/out of my wet bathing suit. The owners were nice and the view was also pleasant, but I would maybe travel to another hot springs before going back.

Easy stop
We were driving through and didn't make it to our next destination due to weather. Making a reservation on the road was easy online. Got our spot number and just pulled in and plugged into the power. Not much here but you get power, water, sewer and trash. Great little RV spot. You need to back in though. Only 6 spots here.

Nice little private hot springs with rustic vibe
In other places I've seen this place reviewed as dingy. What someone expected from a privately run campground on the edge of a massive salt pan expected...I don't know. If you're not into the perfectly imperfect it ain't for you, then again very little in the Oregon Outback will be. There are a few rusted cars hanging around, but the cabins are clean and well kitted, the spring pools are absolutely pleasant, and the scenery outstanding.

What a lovely place to experience. Open camping for all types of travelers. Hot springs filling a pool inside a barn which is incredible during a storm. Changing booths showers a gift shop. trails through out and around. Cabins for those so inclined and hook up for trailers. It has it all
