April 20, 2022 By //  by Matt Thomas

The San Antonio Hot Springs flows from the source at 129° F before splitting into four small, primitive pools. Each pool varies in temperature, allowing you to soak in the spring that is most suitable to your personal preferences. Due to the springs rustic nature, there is no admissions fee to the San Antonio Hot Springs, but the pools are only available for day-use.

It should also be noted that camping in the area is prohibited and there are no facilities or shops nearby, so be sure to bring everything you need for the day.

Camping

While there is no camping at the springs, a few miles away lies the very popular San Antonio Campground. Located in a beautiful ponderosa pine forest at 7600 feet, it boasts 20 standard tent/RV campsites, 6 of which have electric and water hookups.  There’s also  a group campsite, which has 9 different walk-in sites and a big pavilion. Potable water and vault toilets are on-site.
