  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Kosk Creek Campground is a picturesque spot, ideal for those seeking a blend of natural beauty and relaxation. The hot springs are a major highlight, offering a serene experience by the river. However, the campsite could improve its facilities, particularly the porta potties, which are often mentioned as needing better maintenance. Despite some concerns about off-leash dogs and crowded conditions during peak times, campers generally appreciate the scenic views and the chance to unplug in a tranquil setting.

    Great location, noise from local cows were not normal but the host and location was exceptionally great. I would go again.

    Tent camped at Hot Springs Day Pass, Oct 2026.

    Such a great experience. I appreciate all the efforts the host puts into making this space enjoyable for visitors. The hotsprings were amazing. Might be good to mention in the instructions to pull hard on the lock to open it after entering in the code because we struggled with opening it but the host was very responsive when. We contacted them via their wifi. Thank you for allowing visitors to enjoy the hotsprings and beautiful nature here.

    The spot is beautiful. A little oasis with magical river and hot pools. I would visit again. It was late September and there were maybe 10 spots taken on a weekend, which gave everyone privacy. Instructions clear. The only downside: the teenage steers on the other side of the river were being weaned from their moms that weekend, and the 100 or so cows were very loud much of the day and night. Maybe just a once/year thing? I spoke with the rancher and he said that his cows are very talkative. They do look very well taken care of and mostly they look totally happy in the pasture. However, the bellows were quite loud and a bit distressing. Some people said they liked hearing them. Others didn't.
