This off the grid property is the perfect place to escape the city and immerse yourself in nature. Nestled in the mountains of the high desert, we invite you to come stay in a peaceful serene setting where nature and wildlife encompasses you on this rural property surrounded by 1,000s of acres of undeveloped BLM and US Forestry land. Come escape from the city and relax at a place where you can enjoy yourself amongst others or be by yourself in your own private campsite. With 160 acres, there is lots of room for your large group to spread out or find a more private site to seclude yourself! Set up your campsite and park your vehicle at any of our developed sites that have a patch of turf, picnic tables and fire pits (grills available). Flushing toilets, pits toilets, potable water, and showers on site. 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. The creek water in the Deep Creek canyon flows all year around, as does the hot spring source water that feeds the 6 creek-side hot pools, ranging in temperatures between 90F-108F. Weather can be extreme at times, with Winter temps ranging from 20*F to 40* F, and Summer temps reaching 112F+. The hike to the Deep Creek Hot Springs is fairly steep and can be difficult for some people, especially in warm weather, so everyone’s physical fitness needs to be considered when deciding to hike to the hot springs with pets, children, elderly people, or out-of-shape/over-weight people in your group. Although children are permitted on the property, we do not recommend bringing them due to occasional nudity that may be seen in the area and the degree of difficulty for the hike. In order to be prepared with the correct gear to make the hike to the hot springs 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. Know before you go! The Deep Creek Hot Springs Camp is part of the historic Bowen Ranch property that was homesteaded in 1924. This property has been the camping and parking area for the Deep Creek Hot Springs for nearly a century. The Bowen Ranch property is under new ownership as of 2020 and we welcome everyone to come visit! Generally, we always have sites available and reservations are not necessary, but reserved sites are located in a more private area set aside for Hipcamp reservations with separate facilities from the general camping area. See our webpage deepcreekhotspringscampground.com for detailed driving directions to our property with the official trailhead located right on site.

Awesome property. Great trails with access to clean bathrooms and showers. Bring lights because it gets dark. The people were reliable and I love that they were selling on-site snacks, wood and water. Wish I got to try the tacos!

A great desert experience!
Miss. Jessica and the team is amazing. The directions were exact. Our camping area was large and spacious! The hot showers and sinks made the trip comfy. The winds though, very fun! Lol I would highly recommend rope, and a good amount of stakes to ensure your canopies/tents do not fly. The zip line was well worth it! Highly recommend this place for anyone to get away and unplug. Highly recommend the hike to deep creek. Bring lots of water and a a solid pair of hiking shoes. Mid day hike can get pretty hot. Other than that, a great way to unplug from society. Thank you again to Miss. Jessica and the team!

Fathers Day Fun...
I took my 15 year old daughter here for fathersday weekend. It was her fist camping and hiking experience and it went really well! We actually got Wi-Fi at our site the whole time and with it directions but the hosts directs are worth having. Met some nive folks there and while everyone had fun no one was overly rowdy or kept us up. Had great star gazing, fire pit, view. After sunset the wind dropped to nothing and made for a great night and Sunday. Only 80 at noon so we lucked out. The trail and Deep Creek location are great fun. There was a few people taking up the clothing optional at the creek but nothing bad - the vibe was friendly. Take snacks, water and good shoes the hike is on the harder side. Will be back - the host Jessica was very welcoming and helpful. Great stay! Thank you!
