Nestled in the mountains of the high desert, we invite you to come stay in a peaceful serene setting, where you can relax & recharge with us here in the desert and release yourself from the burdens currently placed on you for a brief moment. Staying on this rural 160 acre slice of nature allows one to escape the sounds and stresses of the city and immerse yourself in nature, where beautiful natural desert scenery and mountain views surround you. Bordering 1000's of acres of natural undeveloped BLM and USFS land. The property's rural location provides abundant opportunities to view unique and spectacular wildlife right from your campsite or on one of the numerous hiking and OHV trails in the area. The 40 minute hike to the Deep Creek Hot Springs is well worth the effort, and there's so much more natural beauty to see as you explore miles of hiking and OHV trails nearby and right on the property. Weather can be extreme at times, with Winter temps ranging from 20*F to 40* F, and Summer temps peaking at 112F. The cold creek water in the Deep Creek canyon flows all year around, and the 6 creek-side hot spring pools are always full and consistently hot all year around, ranging in temperatures between 90F-108F. The hike to the Deep Creek Hot Springs is fairly steep and can be difficult for some people, especially in warm weather. In order to be prepared with the correct gear to make this hike and know the USFS rules that apply to the area, please educate yourself before coming by visiting the USFS website page for the Deep Creek area and our webpage for the Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground for detailed driving directions to the official trailhead located right on our property. You won't get lost if you park on our property and hike from the trailhead, so make sure you go to the right address. Know before you go! Generally, reservations are not necessary to set up a tent site, but we have a more private area set aside for hipcamp reservations that has separate facilities from the general camping area. Although children are permitted on the property, we do not recommend bringing children due to occasional nudity that may be seen in the area and the degree of difficulty for the hike. The hike to the hot springs is fairly difficult and everyone’s physical fitness needs to be considered when deciding to take pets, or have children, elderly people, or out-of-shape/over-weight people in your group.

Deep Creek Hot Springs Campsite

Great stay with dogs

We enjoyed our stay on Jess’s land. There was a good amount of space between the campgrounds so privacy wasn’t an issue despite us not being surrounded by shrubs like most others. The hosts were super nice and responsive. We had contact to both and they answered questions over text and phone call. They did warn us of takeovers by the off-roading vehicles on the dirt road there, so it is probably best to arrive in the daytime. We bought their firewood which was a good amount (2-3 nights), and with which they give you a paper bag. We had to drive to the water spigots but the access was great. The toilet was good and had toilet paper, we noticed the host checking to make sure it was stocked one night. We hiked the springs trail from the site, which was a little confusing at first because you have to cross a couple fences we weren’t sure about, but usually there was clues. Our 2 large dogs also enjoyed the site as they had room to run around and play. Though it was unfortunate that they aren’t allowed in the hot springs. Also the hosts’ horses were cute and friendly.

Deep Creek Hot Springs Campsite

This place wasn’t hard timo navigate to as the directions provided were straightforward. The people working at the camp were very friendly, and they even have firewood for purchase. The views here from morning to night were great and the hike to the hot springs is worth the distance travelled!

Hot Spring Glamping Tent

Overall, great experience! However, during our stay the shower heads and hand wash faucets were not working (flushing toilets worked) which was not what we expected.

Great spot!!

Beautiful place, great directions. The natural hot springs are absolutely gorgeous!!! Love this special place. My only complaint is that the potable water that’s included with the juniper springs camping area is way over by the clamping tents, too far to walk just to wash dishes or brunch your teeth. I loved seeing the pig and the dogs wandering around, the firewood they sell there is great, and I’ll definitely come back!

Hot Spring Glamping Tent

Great trip

The hospitality of all three gentlemen from arriving late at night at 10, to the new shift guy coming at midnight and the morning guy convincing us to hike the springs, even though my group opted not too. The morning guy made the trip! He was so kind and gave my family carrots to feed the horse and pig. It was great to see the pets while walking up to the tower.
