Hot Springs State Park Bath House
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hot springs & park! Love the eclectic and old time feel of the hot springs pools, vapor caves & bath house. There are several different pools [indoor & outdoor], a diving board & slides. There are showers & restrooms and a gift shop with a nice selection of bathing suits, pool toys & gifts. Note that there is a charge to get into the pools, however, the bath house is free. The bath house is much hotter water & therefore has a 20 minute time limit. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. You can take your own drinks & food [no alcohol or glass]. The atmosphere around the park is welcoming & colorful. Lots of fresh flowers. There is plenty of free parking. Several lifeguards on duty.
5/23/2025-Soothe for 20 minutes for free in either indoor or outdoor pools. RV entrance is NOT to drive under low bridge, white signs posted have you drive couple blocks to the right of the main entrance. Plenty of R.V. parking in the park across the street with nice picnic tables and room to run the your dog. Clean showers, restrooms and pool area. The staff is friendly and informative. Pools temperatures are around 104 (hot tub warm). The Teepee room next door you can soak longer for a fee in numerous indoor/outdoor pools and they have water slides. The park next door we cooked dinner and enjoyed the picnic tables and cool breeze. This area is well worth your time.
We really enjoyed this free facility. The sulfur smell of the mineral water took us some time to get used to. We found it better outside and also enjoyed the 'seats' in the pool. There was a sun shade allowing you to sit in the sun or shade. The lockerroom has community style showers (no privacy). The lockers dont have locks, so you can bring your own lock or bring your items outside with you. Each visit is limited to 20 min and a local told us you can come back every 2 hrs. We haven't tested that theory yet!
A free, 20 minute soak in natural hot spring mineral water with an indoor and outdoor pool and clean shower and locker rooms. We weren't clear if over 20 minutes cost money or if 20 minutes was the maximum, but also they weren't constantly checking up. Also, don't miss the great boardwalk across the hot spring terraces, right behind the bathhouse. Gorgeous formations, and the boardwalk leads to an impressive rope bridge for views from the outcroppings across the river.
You have options!! The Bath House is smaller and 20 minute soak but its free. The large brownish building is more like a kids water park inside and soaking g areas ranging from 90 to 101 degrees with a cold plunge area that is between 50 and 70 degrees. For an adult only go to the smaller Bath House past the larger complex. Quiet and relaxing.
