Banbury Hot Springs is located 1.5 miles east of Miracle on the beautiful Snake River. It has been providing the healing benefits of the geothermal mineral water to the public since 1920.

A High Desert Oasis with Fabulous Water
I have been to many developed hot springs and Miracle stands out as among the very best. The campsite is rustic, with closely spaced sites and two riverside group camps, one of which has water access. A small stream runs by the campsite bringing warm water, which makes a great place to sit in your lawn chair. The hot spring pools themselves are fantastic. Newly built, 21 individual tub rooms plus a big, deep swimming pool with perfect temperature water, a hot hot hot pool, a more shallow less hot big pool, and another pool yet! The changing and shower facilities are modest and clean. One thing that truly stands out is how welcoming they are to everyone, making bathroom and hospitality available all the time. As a senior, not only was the daily entry a mere $6.36, but I felt super safe everywhere there. It was hot in the day and warm at night, so you could wander around in shorts. The location in the high desert is enchanting and the night sky is huge. I stayed for about a week, wandering around to all the cool stuff to do nearby.
Not worth the drive
Let's just say we aren't going back. 6 viable spots to camp, one next to the bathrooms and garage cans, one next to the highway and 3 in the middle crammed together. One tree for shade. They haven't put money into the place since inception and while the swimming area is good for a day trip if you are already close by (lots of locals) I wouldn't call this a destination. The river is near by so lots of kayaking is available.
If only 0 stars was an option
Let me start by saying my husband and I are outdoorsy people. We’ve lived in our van, we’ve lived at sea, we are used to rustic conditions. I booked Miracle hot springs group campsite after reading many many raving reviews on the the Dyrt, Google, etc. HOW no one commented on the nose hair singing cow feces smell in the area? HOW no one has mentioned the thousands swarming flies? In October? Is beyond me. The pools were completely packed on Halloween weekend. Barely enough space to park and certainly not enough space to quietly enjoy a rural hot spring. The one redeeming quality of the place was that the gentleman who checked us in was very kind. It was not enough for us to want to stay around however and we left immediately afterwards in search of a new place to stay. Book with caution.
