Went last week finally; this place is so clean, quiet, and beautiful. The staff person was nice, the yurt to change clothing was also very clean & private. Be forewarned: the drive there is a pitted, bumpy "will I need to replace my shocks?!" ride. But it was worth it. The water temp is perfect, the main pool is now my favorite place to be, & I highly recommend going if you can. You do need proof of vaccination, which has made a lot of locals very upset. However, I am in support of this. Don't make their livelihood political--they own the place and can ask for whatever rules they feel like. Just don't give bad reviews because of that alone. It's the best $10 I've spent all year. Go & enjoy the hot water and calm.

Chalcedony Wilder | Dec 6, 2021

You can't. They checked our proof of vaccination at the hut before you enter the area where the pools are. Maybe just get vaccinated. I did and I'm still alive.

Are toddlers allowed in currently since they aren't approved for the vaccine? We are all fully vaccinated EXCEPT for our 3 year old...

Casey Scott | Mar 21, 2022
Carly Wantulok | Mar 22, 2022

We tried to go with our 4 year old and got turned away. I wish they provided more information on the website and explicitly say children under the age of 5 are not allowed (since there are no vaccines available).

Do you allow children who are not old enough to be vaccinated in the pools? Parents are vaccinated and boosted, but without a vaccine available for little kids...

Marci Miller | Mar 14, 2022
Casey Persinger | Mar 15, 2022

No idea, they were strict about proof of vaccination when I was there on 3/9/22, great place regardless and you'll need to pay with cash.

Are they working on Sunday?

samira turulja | Apr 4, 2020
John Schilz | Apr 5, 2020

They are open Sunday, but recent policies have made it less enjoyable. Last time I went (4th of july weekend) they blocked the flow off for some reason, so the main pool was unbearably hot and the lower pools were disgustingly stagnant. Prices are up, hours have been cut, and they don't allow any alcohol whatsoever, which isn't a deal breaker, but still makes it less appealing

Craig E Swenson | Apr 5, 2019
Vicki Kissinger | Apr 6, 2019

It is only partially paved. Most of the drive is dirt/gravel and was covered by snow/ice during the winter. Since it has been two months since I was there, I'm not sure. However, during the winter this year it was not bad.

Can you get here in a car during the winter?

Kaci Kyle | Apr 5, 2018
Thomas Lacey | Apr 6, 2018

I disagree with the idea that you need an all wheel drive or 4x4. I have gone there several times with a front wheel drive with snow tires. If you don't have snow tires pick up some cables or chains for your vehicle from a tire store. The road is always plowed, but can be a little slick. I have also seen several cars slid off the road including 4x4 pickups and all wheel drive cars, but they didn't have snow tires or cables.

Is there camping close by?

Steven King | Apr 5, 2018
Muki Masic | Apr 6, 2018

There is a camping spot right next to the river, further down the road if you keep driving past the hot springs ... it's not an official camp site, so you would only be able to dry camp there ...I hope this helps

I have a street cruiser motorcycle so dirt roads are hazardous. What is the nearest place I can park, then hike to the pools?

Hope Production | Apr 5, 2018
Muki Masic | Apr 6, 2018

I would not suggest leaving you bike at the end of the pawed road since it's a very remote area and there are no designated parking areas at the end of the pawed road ...if you decided to proceed with this trip, hiking from that point would be at least 4miles to the springs if I'm not mistaking...
