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.

New Spring Pool Site
Very private and very well respected. The dipping pool was cool and very refreshing. There is wildlife and should be noted that all things come to water. If you are not a nature lover this may not be the place for you. I was greeted by the host and was given a tour of the private areas. It is a beautiful area and I can’t wait to camp here again.

Thanks for a great weekend!
Awesome open space, so happy we went here. We were there 2 night and the other campers were respectful and nice. The heat and wind were intense but expected. There was a map at the check-in table to get to the hotsprings. It was really awesome, just beware that a ton of people there were nude lol. The hike back was no joke - plan to bring lots of water!!

Unique landscape!
It was worth the drive out. The trail to the hot springs is no joke but it’s beautiful maybe a little more crowded on a Monday than you’d expect. Car camping was spacious and my partner felt safe there was other cars around. Really beautiful property where you are in the desert and can see the mountain pine landscape nearby from the back of arrowhead. I’ll definitely be back once I rehydrate.
