Deep Creek Hot Springs Bowen Ranch

They have excellent customer service here, offer decent glamping sites, and even have showers and generators for electricity in the tent. I also appreciate they are nudist friendly so if you so wish you can roam around anywhere here completely nude. They also have breakfast between 8am and 11am at your request, zip lines, and at additional cost access to a recreation room with pool table, showers, sauna, spa, and bonfire pits. This is an excellent space to escape the city and admire the desert wilderness.

Beautiful hot springs, great views, really nice hosts, well maintained tent sites (just be prepared to rough it with toilets/showers). They do have potable water and we even got to feed the horses apples! A couple tips: 1. Download the area on Google Maps app in advance 2. Download the map of the trail to the springs on Alltrails 3. Directions: first, find the intersection of Central Rd and Ocotillo Way (both paved). Then, find the intersection of Ocotillo Way and Bowen Ranch Road. From there, follow the directions on the website. With a 2WD mini-bus, we were fine on the dirt road. 4. Solar showers only work during the day Seems there’s just one flush toilet and one non-solar shower to serve the campground. Looked okay, but we couldn’t figure out how to use the propane water heater setup - an instruction guide would have been awesome. It was sponge baths for us!

My daughter and her boyfriend, both 19 reserve the Bowen Ranch through hip camp. On the morning of the first day , they were looking for breakfast as was advertised but finding that is not provided decided to go on a hike to the Hot Springs. It was 930 am in July 2024 , The owner said there'd be water as they hike down to the springs if needed . Of course they brought their own water, but it wasn't enough. When they arrived, they looked for the water source, couldn't find it; by then it was getting late and very hot.. My daughter tried making it up the but the hike is very steep and started to get dizzy and throwing up and couldn't make it up the rest of the trail, it was extremely hot. When they tried to contact the owner, there was no answer so they were left to call 911. The owner didn't give enough warning too these 2 inexperienced, hikers and the 2 had to be helicoptered out. We've since been told that this happens pretty often in the summer I think more care should be taken to warn visitors. Luckily the young adults are OK but it could have been most worst. Be prepared as you will not be taken care of if you stay here .

Well for me camped at ponderosa pines,which was nice spots beautiful view. ZBut no alternative trail as mentioned & text host said was not as steep! So down i go took 1.25 hrs,steady pace knarly in spots! Get to springs znd looks nothing like pics,have to cross a 3ft deep pond ice cold water to get to spring,ans also on way out,so cold. Sun not down but not shining on this side mntn.might been another trail on other side for better access,but i dint see signs at start & host wasnt much help.

These people are destroying hard to find nature spots building glamping club med experiences for instagram influencers. They literally bought the adjacent lot to block the trail of the original Bowen Ranch on 6221 Bowen Ranch Rd. Instead of just sharing access and competing in a creative way, they are using aggressive tactics to discredit the original Ranch owner. You can still access Deep Creek Hot Springs from the original location next door, which is cheaper and the original! See map.
