*Warning! 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. Even though Deep Creek has never had any known cases of amoeba outbreaks, be advised that the warm waters around hot springs can carry a sometimes fatal amoeba.
*Although children are permitted at most sites on the property (children are not permitted at the cabin or spring pool sites), 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 Campground is part of the historic Bowen Ranch property that was homesteaded in 1924 and has been the camping and parking area for the Deep Creek Hot Springs for nearly a century.

Highly recommend Jess's tiny cabin! The views are spectacular and the mini pool was so refreshing and relaxing. We were pleasantly surprised by the stocked kitchen supplies and the mini fridge. Jess was super responsive and extremely helpful with any questions we had, and was able to turn on AC and trigger the generator for electricity at night as soon as we needed it, which we really appreciated. We will definitely visit again!

We had an amazing stay at Ravens Vista. It’s such a peaceful spot and perfect for family time. There was plenty of space for all of us, and we had no problem parking our trucks, which made everything really easy. We spent the evenings relaxing outside under the stars, and the setup made it even better. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus—she loved it just as much as we did. The host was easy to communicate with and made everything smooth. Everything felt clean, well put together, and easy to enjoy. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️

Weekend Trip to Bowen Ranch Hot Spring Retreat
Absolutely loved my experience. Returning ASAP.
It’s late March, and the drive in was stunning with wildlife—it took my breath away. The directions from their website were spot on and, since I was on a solo retreat to a new place, they really supported my confidence when I felt unsure. I didn’t get lost or drive into the wrong entrance.
The staff were helpful and friendly from check-in to check-out. Their “Glamp” tent was worth it. I only needed the shelter (I’m currently shopping for a tent), but for this trip, treating myself was a pleasure. It was huge and cozy, and the bed was an actual mattress and box spring (I brought my own bedding).
The stove provided worked perfectly with my propane, there was plenty of lighting, and they sold me enough wood to stay out with the moon until nearly 2 a.m.
I initially sought a quieter night, but in the end, I found appreciation for the sound of others’ voices.
I can’t wait to return and try out their other site options!
