This campground is open mid-May
through September only - so be sure to call before you go in case of
date changes.
Canyon Hot Springs is one of the few campgrounds in this area that could
handle a 40 foot RV. The road was gravel/dirt. The sites were grassy
and close together and had a picnic table. The two RV Gypsies had 30
amp and water, no sewer. NO TV. NO AT&T cell phone service of course.
Wi-Fi was ONLY at the office, and even there it was super slow. The
water pressure was good.
Trains were close by, right behind the next row of RVs. The trains
were usually long and very noisy, and they went by often. They did not
blow their horn every time, but the tracks were squeaky, and of course
since the tracks were so close, the noise was awfully loud.
The Mineral Pool and Hot Tub:
When the two RV Gypsies first arrived in the afternoon, the pools were
not too crowded. But in the evening the smaller pool (the hotter one)
was STANDING ROOM ONLY, and people were shoulder-to-shoulder. A single
swim ranged from $9.50 to $11.50 depending on age. A day pass ranged
from $13.50 to $16.50. Family prices (2 adults & 2 Juniors were
$29 to $39.50). (Prices subject to change)
Pools closed at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. depending on the month. Way too early
to please the two RV Gypsies. As far as the two RV Gypsies' opinion
goes, it was just like a heated swimming pool that cost in addition
to the camping costs. The two RV Gypsies did NOT use the pools here,
but instead went to Crazy Creek Hot Springs. It was a bit of a drive,
but so very much nicer, bigger, and worth it. There is a separate page
on that hot springs on this website and it can be seen by using the
link at the bottom of this page.
Most of the rules at this campground were standard. It is BEAR COUNTRY
though, so that means there are extra precautions that must be taken.
No washing RVs or vehicles. One vehicle per site. There were coin
operated showers (not free). The two RV Gypsies have their own shower,
thank goodness. No tents on serviced sites. Check-out time was 11 a.m.
or there would be an additional charge. There were also cabins available,
but some did not provide bedding or towels, and some did, depending
on size and type. No TV or phones in any cabins. Most do nOt have a
kitchen. Prices vary. None of this concerns the two RV Gypsies however. |
