California Hot Springs Resort

I know the new owners are friends of mine either from my childhood or they are family to me. Either way, we need to get together to strategize what our next move is. If this is HP or Bettercallsal or his family, we seriously need to see each other. Sisters l, I know you know where I am. I have no ride to either of you. I can’t believe it I won’t believe it until one of you tells me. Just know I’ve been so devistated by this all. I will not rest until I find the answers I need

Calif hot springs is not a hotel. It is a hot springs pool and tubs. Heat varies with the tubs being hotter than the huge pool. Cost to swim and soak is $20 for adults and $10 for children. Price is for all day. You have to shower in changing rooms before entering pool area. Bring flip flops the decking is hot..There is a gift shop, store and a Cafe inside the huge barn like structure. There is a rv only campground across the street. And USFS Leavis Flat campground down the road. A corporation from Texas has purchased the resort so I expect changes to come.

We camped with another couple at a nearby campground and came here our second day.

Pros:
-It was great to use a real bathroom.
-They also have showers in the locker rooms.
-Their mini store has odds and ends we wound up needing.
-Salted Caramel Ice Cream was delicious
-The main pool felt great.
-Did not smell sulfuric and water was super soft
-Free water was available in the store for swimmers.
-Perfect for the day after a hike to sooth muscles.
-Had no issues with staff. Other reviews mentioned bad attitudes and discrimination. We were a mixed group of races. The ladies were not overly nice but weren't rude either. They were very matter of fact but I tend to like that about people.

Other Facts:
-We went on a hot day, bring sandals to wear up to the waters edge. We burned our feet.
-$20 per person to swim
-Hot Tub closer to the road seemed much hotter
-They do not allow dogs (even well behaved on a leash tied up).

This is a great stop, especially for anyone camping at one of the dry campgrounds like we did. It may not be the Hilton of hot springs for some, but for us, it was perfect! Thank you for a great time, we'll be back.

Nice place to chill. The big pool is heated to a temp close to the Caribbean sea in the dead of summer. One if the two hot tubs is about 10 degrees hotter than the other. The place serves a basic menu and alcoholic drinks and has a cute gift shop. Very laid back atmosphere to hang out for the day with friends or family.
