First, do not use Apple Maps to get here. It will take you a turnoff two miles away and leave you wondering what to do next. Google maps will take you right to the vault toilet.
Second, if you’re looking for a HOT spring, this one might disappoint. It’s warm for sure but not hot at all.
Contrary to a previous poster, I saw no nudists here. Also disappointing but in this area, maybe I should count myself lucky.
The bathroom had no toilet paper. We left a roll, but it seems this is a continual problem.
That’s all the negatives.
Star gazing here is incredible. You’re 150 miles from any real metro (McDermit doesn’t count).
Nice deep fire rings that are safe with nice grill racks on them. Some sites can get muddy after a rain or melt off and one or two were actually under water when we were there.
We had a blast here though. Lots of walking around room. I would imagine this place gets packed on a weekend or holiday. We had the place to ourselves in a Tuesday night with the exception of an older gentleman in a bus who was very friendly.
Any vehicle can make it in here. It’s 25 miles of dirt road but it’s well maintained and 40mph is perfectly doable until you get to the turnoff to the site. The one mile stretch getting in there from the main road isn’t as well kept but you could still do it in a corolla.
We were also lucky enough to see a herd of antelope on the way in. Photos attached.
