Campers can set up along the creek for water access and fishing opportunities, or choose spots among the pines on higher ground with mountain views. The road access requires careful driving, and reviewers note the area sees few visitors Monday through Thursday but picks up on weekends.
Sites include existing fire rings, and the Forest Service allows both pets and alcohol. Cell service is not available in this location. For those planning extended stays in the region, campsites near Teton National Forest offer additional options within the broader forest system.

The Granite Hot Springs Pool is located at the end of the Granite Creek Road and is situated just above Granite Creek Falls. If you aren't camping in the area, be prepared for a long scenic drive to the pool on a bumpy dirt road. During the winter months the hot springs are accessible only via snowmobile, dog sled, skiing and via fat biking. No alcohol is allowed in the pool area to protect public safety, prevent drinking and driving, and preserve the family-friendly character of this special place. Please respect the no alcohol rule and plan accordingly.
There are two different seasons when the hot springs are open, summer and winter.
Summer season usually opens late May and ends October 31st. In the spring, make sure to call ahead to confirm they are open, as late snow melt-off can delay the road opening sometimes up to two weeks. Operating hours during the summer are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. After Labor Day hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The winter season runs from early December until the beginning of April. Operating hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily until mid-February when it changes to 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. until the closing date.
