Just went to it after reopened has an open top now. They're not fully finished but the progress is really nice. The people are nice. Definitely affordable. Stayed there last night. Has fire pits. But probably need to bring trash bags to take the trash out. Also maybe something to do about going to the bathroom. Other than that, pretty nice and close to map rock/petroglyphs archeology site.

Freaking LOVE THIS PLACE ‼️❤️ Absolutely fabulous warm, and soothing waters!!! The 3rd picture is accurate, no top over the pool, open air, which lends itself to the Warm Springs experience!!! Wonderful staff. The dressing room area is meh, could use some dressing up, but the cost of admission makes it all worth it. It was also closed for many years, so I’m so grateful 🙏🏻 I discovered them and they opened while I was still in-state! EXCELLENT VALUE!!! ✨ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Definitely worth the $12 to soak. It was clean, and I like that there is no roof anymore. I wish there was seating lining the interior of the pool — something to sit and relax on, especially in the deep end. Everyone was crowding the shallow end and wading pool, where there are tons of little kids playing around. I’d also be super interested in a dedicated time for adults only soaking so that it can be a much more quiet and serene soaking experience. I’d like to try an evening or mid-week soak to see if it is a calmer experience. Still, I’ll go back for the benefits of a hot spring mineral soak from time to time. Maybe I’ll bring a noodle to sit on next time, too.

Fun and Nasty! This place could be awesome with some TLC. My mother in law came with us and she didn’t have a swimsuit so we rented her one for $2. They have life jackets for rent they were $4 each, but they are old and wet. You can buy snacks and drinks at the front counter. Kids 2 years old are free and over are $5. Adults were $10 each and there’s a $5 senior discount. There’s a kids pool connected to the main pool that was good for our 2 year old daughter. My 7 year old son liked jumping in the deep end (I think it’s about 9ft deep at the deepest. They have changing rooms for men and women with showers and toilets but both of the toilets in the men’s bathroom were not working. Be careful walking around the pool it’s super slick. I believe they use chlorine in the pool because I saw a container in the maintenance room but not too much because there was no chlorine smell. We spent 1 hr there and it was definitely fun and nasty!

This was a 3 star review before I asked about pricing for a soak before noon, as in a morning soak before leaving the campground, was told it is a 200$ fee for pre hours soak. Even for 1 person, that is staying the night. For the price and inconvenience of not having an indoor bathroom after 9pm, one would think that you would have paid enough for a morning soak before hitting the road. Asinine. WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL?!! NO WONDER THIS PLACE IS DEAD. While I have always enjoyed this Lil getaway, there are a couple things that I find note-worthy; the pool is so much nicer without the roof, the showers could stand to have the temp brought down (or at least adjustable, it is scalding, at female shower HOT), and if you camp overnight, it would be stellar if the pool was available for a morning soak before departure, 30$ for a single camper. Seeing as the facility opens at noon, it is NOT accommodating for early travelers and overnighters that want a morning soak to ease the weary bones. More early and late accommodating hours, especially in the full summer days, would not only boost profit margins, but bring a more consistent clientele. All said, the grounds are clean, ( minus the ONE, FULL PORTA-JOHN, had to drive 3 miles to use Bernards Landing bathroom) they rent swim wear if you forgot yours, a snack station and undesignated camping spots, some with firepits. Lots of trees for shade and pleasant service. All in all a decent getaway. Overall, NOT WORTH THE MONEY FOR WHAT YOU GET. Better off going to Miracle Hot Springs for your money and privacy. There are also about 20 cats on the property.
