Nice camp ground and a great place to spend a day and also unwind yourself.

Camping is very nice. Large sites with picnic tables, Bear lockers, fire pit. Water faucets scattered throughout the site. No hookups for RVs. Bathrooms have flush toilets. Some have token operated showers. Water temp is nice and hot. There is a super nice trail that is worth taking to Burnside lake. But take lots of water. It’s 5 miles and 2000’ feet up. The hot spring is also very nice. Make reservations to get a time slot of your choosing. Last slot of the day is 5:30. The 2 pools are small but accommodate 75 people total. There is one 70-80 degree one and another about 100+ degrees. Sit on the far end and enjoy the really hot water.

A very family friendly in Hot Springs. The Hope Valley is absolutely stunning. The stark mountain views are breathtaking any time of the year. The mineral rich water remained hidden below the Jeffrey pine trees and the stark mountains of Alpine County until 1844 when explorers came along. John Freemont and Kit Carson got stuck in the snow, and the Washoe people rescued them and showed them the hot water that melted through the snow and ice. Today, the secret is out, and the once hidden hot spring has become a popular tourist attraction just outside Markleeville, California. Grover Hot Springs has six different hot water areas that percolate out of, what is now, Hot Springs Valley. The 148 degree water is cooled down and pumped into a family friendly pool. It's a beautiful area with cascading creeks, scenic hiking trails and stunning mountain views. The valley was discovered and rediscovered by many early settlers, but Alvin Merrill Grover was the first to capitalize on the hot springs. Only 14 years old, he ended up at the hot springs in the 1860's during the silver rush. He and a partner used wagons to shuttle visitors to the hot springs. Eventually, Alvin Grover bought the land and the hot springs. He even built a hotel in Markleeville. Eventually the thermal springs became a family business and the name "Grover Hot Springs" stuck. The Grover’s became prominent members of the community. The family helped in the break away from El Dorado County and started Alpine County. Alvin and his son, Charles Grover, each held the position of sheriff at one time. The Grover's maintained ownership of the hot springs up to the 1900's. The property changed hands a few times before California State Parks purchased it in 1958.

We had a blast on our first hike at Grover's! The grounds offer rugged trails that weren't too difficult for us first timers but you can up the challenge by taking on the boulder trail to see two beautiful waterfalls. Be sure to bring …

Not around the hot springs. Good spots closer to markleeville around the library or across from the store.
10$ a day per adult a 5$ for children 0-5
You don't need any special 4x4 vehicle to get to. It's paved right up to the pools
We had to make a reservation for the pool area when we went last week.
Only 1 hot spring pool there. waterfall is about 3 miles round trip
I don't know. Just drove thru & didn't see any horse facilities.
You have to go online and get reservations because. And open Wednesday
The park itself no just the hot springs
Call them tomorrow because of the national holiday
It should be on their website.....
The camp ground has lots of showers and flush toilets, as well as sinks to wash clothes. There is running water at the sites, but no power hookup
No cabins at the site. However if you drive up 88 a little further there are cabins right past Hope Valley Lodge. The cabins are called Sorenson's Lodge. Also further up 89 in Markleeville is Carson River Resort and in Markleville there is Creekside Lodge.
Yes you can enter anytime unless there full I have never had an issue getting in
Yes, in the women's dressing room there is one shower where you can rinse off.
Grover Hot Springs is accessible all year along unless it's buried under snow and you can't actually get in there asphalt paved all the way up and into the hot springs the hot springs opens that I think 9 or 10 a.m. and closes around 6 it's a first come first serve when it's full you have to wait till someone leaves usually November as really nice because the waters are hot and the air is cool there is showers and dressing rooms and places for you to keep your clothes
About 40 minutes
There's a couple of large parking lots kind of a first come first serve and there's only x amount of people allowed in so when that quantity of people as met you have to wait till someone comes out better to go at 10 a.m. when they open or wait till the kids are all back in school and I might be better odds great place love it
The pools are closed in early sept. For a couple weeks.
