Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Grover Hot Springs State Park adventure.
Ease the tension out of your muscles and your mind with a soak at Grover Hot Springs.
Soak your weary bones in the hot springs pools nestled in a beautiful alpine meadow at 6,000 feet. Found on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada, Grover Hot Springs lies in a lush, open pine forest. Towering 10,000-foot peaks surround the state park. There is biking, hiking, swimming, trout fishing, a campground, and of course — the soothing, odorless hot springs.
Springs in the valley pipe mineral water into two concrete pools. The hot pool can reach 104 F, making it a no-brainer after a vigorous hike, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing adventure. The warm swimming pool is a great choice for kids and the elderly. A 1/2-mile Hot Spring Trail leads you from the pool complex to the 75-site campground.
The pools are open year-round, except for two weeks of maintenance in September. The full campground is open mid-May through September, but a small portion remains open during winter. It's a tranquil, family- and dog-friendly place to relax, restore, and rejuvenate.
The best time to visit Grover Hot Springs State Park is during late spring and early summer for clear skies and warm days. Late summer brings afternoon thunderstorms, while winter offers snowy landscapes. Check ahead for seasonal pool and campground closures.
