With enticing temperatures ranging from 102°F to 104°F, these enclosed areas offer the serene getaway you’ve been looking for.

Day passes are available for those who wish to indulge in the hot spring pools, but overnight guests receive 24-hour access to the waters.

Lodging and Camping

If you love rustic accommodations that transport you back in time, then you’ll love the options at Death Valley Hot Springs.
