Did Not Feel Safe
My partner and I unfortunately did not end up staying at the Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground because we believe it to be a scam of some kind. We followed the host directions precisely, avoided the turn off that led to the “creepy neighbor” site, but when we drove underneath the large Bowen Ranch sign, we were met with a checkpoint with 3 hand painted banners telling us to stop and pay, a military surplus vehicle, and a shirtless man working on a broken down trailer. All of this could have been overlooked, only when I told the man that we were looking for Jessica, the host, he said he had no idea who we were talking about. He claimed that there was no campsite near here owned by a Jessica, but that we were welcome to come back to his site if we couldn’t find it. My partner and I drove through the checkpoint to see if perhaps this guy was just the crazy neighbor just trying a new tactic to prevent us from reaching the real site. But when we pulled through to the coordinates where the campground should be, there was several more military surplus vehicles, and many dirty broken down RV’s. No sign of the brick fireplace or shower amenities promised on Hipcamp. Big hoarder vibes. I then tried to contact Jessica by calling and texting several times - and I never received a response. My partner and I waited for an hour trying to problem solve, but ultimately turned around and drove home because we did not feel safe.

Apart from the fact that he never answered the property of the place, he never responded to the messages, this place can be paid upon arrival, there was no need to pay a large amount, if for each person upon entering they charge $15, you do not have to make a reservation, a very nice place, but I think that those who They rent the place as scams.

Great, easy high desert camping
The dispersed camping here was great! Basically at the start of the trailhead for Deep Creek Hot Springs with beautiful views. Easy to navigate. Only slight issue was potable water was back up at the entrance to camp - not near the sites themselves. And the drop toilet wasn’t in great shape.

An excellent retreat
It is a very frictionless experience to get set up and therapeutic once you set up camp. The spots are far away from each other so you can really relax. The 2 mile hike down to the Hot Springs, complements the relaxation with adventure and delight.

Good but windy
1st: FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS. They may be slower but they lead you to the right place as navigation is wrong sometimes. 2nd if you have a sedan or sporty car i don't recommend going as you have to drive around 7 miles of dirt road with frequent dips and sharp rocks. If you have an SUV or truck then you’re fine. The camp-spots are nice and clean theres also a small grass spot for chairs. The fire-pit is very nice. But you are very close to other campers so it may be hard to sleep. Lastly it was extremely windy when we came. (Early April) But otherwise a good experience.

Great spot with enough spaciousness to feel secluded/have your own experience and also meet other people camping if you want! The check in procedure was easy and informative, definitely a funky and great place to stay if you're hiking to the hot springs (which are absolutely incredible)
