Call Ahead!

Last year, 2015, we experienced the most visitors ever at the hot springs. For the first time, this February and March we reached our capacity limits almost every weekend. We have limitations on overnight visitors and for day visits. Because of the way our society is set up, weekends, holidays, and summer are the times that most people can take their vacations. The effect here is that the springs are busy during those times. One thing you can do to make sure you get in when you arrive is to Call First! Whether you are coming for the day or staying overnight, let us know you are heading this way. Make a quick call notifying us of your plans and we can save the space. No one likes being turned away and we don't enjoy that part of the job either. The capacity limit is there to minimize the negative impact of overcrowding. Indoor accommodations are popular and reservations are usually necessary to get a cabin or room. Camping is the low cost option and tent sites are numerous. However, we do reach capacity limits for overnight and day visitors. Be wise, call ahead.
