Staff was great. But the small hot tubs weren’t hot, more like bath water. The showers were ok, but not great water pressure, and they weren’t hot either. The views were nice. It wasn’t very crowded when we went at 5 PM, but there was trash around the hot tubs from the day.
July 2024: Great place! Big pool was around 85 F, small rectangular pool was around 95 F, small circular pool was around 97 F. It was a sunny, partly cloudy day with a cool breeze. The staff were kind and the changing rooms were very clean. If not swimming, you can pay $3 to take a shower. This is nice because the Easley campground in National Forest is right around the corner. You can stay there and shower at the hot springs.
Love this little place tucked in the woods. Great for a swim and a shower when you're out camping. The pool is huge and the locker rooms are clean. We left one of our bags stuffed with snacks and personal items. Jessica & Kiana were kind and happy to ship it to us. Will go here again and again. Thank you Thank you!!!!
This place is adorable. Great little hotspring pool for kiddos. You're likely to run into the locals here who will chat you up in the hot tubs. Downside is that it's small so you have to be comfortable getting cozy with others
We went on Father’s Day and it was crowded enough that we never got a chance to soak in the tubs. Our kids swam in the big pool but were very cold. They were able to squeeze into the tubs with the other people to warm up, but we as a family didn’t get to. The place is a bit dated so we were disappointed in the overall experience.
Found this little nugget while traveling from Stanley to Ketchum. The facility was clean and well maintained. We used the hot springs, we were not camping. The temperature was around 85 degrees.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Great facility, large pool, plenty of poolside seating. Not to mention one of the most beautiful views I have ever laid eyes on! Very friendly staff. A must do!
So disappointed.... Both your website and phone messages indicate the days and hours you are open - and mention nothing of closing for the season. We checked both to be sure before making the trip - and there is no mention of seasonal closure. Please be responsible and make the updates.
The temperature was appropriately warm for a natural hot spring. Facility was modest and well kept. Very peaceful! The view was excellent! If you're coming in from Ketchum or Sun Valley, GPS will have you turn late, follow brown signs. Would definitely visit again!
The staff lady member was super nice. She let us look at the pool in the hot tubs before we committed. The place is pretty cool. The water has lots of sulfur in it. It turned my white gold ring weird colors. It went back after I swam in a normal pool later on that day. I would totally stop in and check this out. It's only $8 per person. The building definitely needs a lot of updating. The maintenance is a bit lackluster. The hot tub could use a fresh coat of paint and cleaned out. But it was cool to hang out for about half an hour and then continue on on our trip. I highly recommend it. The three stars as strictly for the disrepair and lack of maintenance.
We were so glad that we came here! It's a quiet spot, not crowded at all! The facility itself is a bit outdated but it has a great vibe. Hot tubs are not much hotter than the pool, which is comfortably warm from the springs. Don't wear any silver jewelry! It will change color in the water (even in the shower) and you will need to clean it. Minerals in the water cause this. We felt very relaxed overall :-)
First off, the pools are first rate!!! The spas are wonderful and WELL worth the cost, which is not that much.
But more importantly, these guys are wonderful. We were there and our battery died. No cell service, in the middle of no where, I was running out of options. I didn't go in to them - They came out to me to see if they could help. One of the guys working there went back to his house to get jumper cables and set us up. We are eternally grateful.
But, in addition to that, whether they helped with the battery or not, the pools are great! Don't hesitate to come.
The pool was really deep which was nice and a perfect temperature during the hot summer, however the hotter pools were less than 90 and a little disappointing. Very friendly staff and a great place to take kids without worrying about safety while visiting other hot springs along the river.
My kids had a great time! The water was very pleasant and it's not too crowded. I wish they had a more affordable family rate though. Also, someone should try and kill the beehive in the cement patio cracks.
Great staff and nice place to enjoy some hot springs. There are two main sitting pools and one large pool. It’s a great setting next to the Big Wood River.
Note that the maximum occupancy is 35 and if you don’t get there early it’s worth a call before heading over.
There is a small store with reasonable prices. Ice cream, candy, and drinks.
Beautiful views. The water was a little cool in the actual pool, but both of the "hot tubs" were perfect. We didn't know they had a capacity cap of 35 "swimming"people, luckily there was several in our large group that weren't going to be swimming. Adequate area to change clothes and restrooms. They even had a gentleman that would watch any of your valuable belongings if you didn't want leave them laying around the pool area.
**beware of the bees** A swarm of bees have built a hive in a crack in the concrete near the one of stairs down to the pool. Bees were everywhere! They didn't really bother anyone, but for an environment that has lots of kids around, this business really should bring in a professional bee keeper to move the bees.
Expect lots of kids. The springs feature a large pool varying in temperature daily. On July 1, 2018 the large pool was 88 degrees & the 2 smaller pools were 99 degrees.
The noise of children was very, very loud.
The 35 person capacity was reached by noon. At $8 per adult it's a great value.
Not a relaxing environment for adults despite spectacular views, friendly staff, humble but clean & adequate showers and bathrooms.
At 1 pm the large pool was closed for 20 minutes while the proprietor opened two large containers of chemicals and dumped them into the pool.
The small pools became overrun with small children and parents. That's 35 people in 2 tiny pools in the July sun.
We left. Finding kids riding bikes in the parking lot. Very dangerous.
Overall, great spring. Well maintained and very inexpensive. Can be crowded & rowdy.
Warm pool and hot tubs fed from a natural hot spring. Great views from the patio area. No chemicals are used in day to day operation. Be sure not to wear silver, since the minerals will tarnish it. Closed on Mondays for cleaning.
The pool was the perfect temperature to float around. The caretaker was so nice and there were a variety of floaties and pool toys available for our use. The showers were the same water they use for the pool - so a little cooler than we're used to but still wonderful considering we were camping. We hope to go back someday!
