Prince Albert Hot Spring | Wild Camping

very nice place, totally worth it to visit.
With our car (Toyota 4 Runner) we drive up to the spring.
It's a rough road, but with the right car and a good driver it's possible.

We were here in August, so sadly the water was way to hot to join.
Maybe in winter it's better.
Wait until the pool ist half full so ist a little colder.

There are so many Mormon crickets around this place, it's annoying.
But still I won't miss this place.

We slept close to the pool in our car.
It's not quiet level but it worked.

Visited today. Oh man. Let me do you a favor an include some details the OP should have:

It's only the last mile that will get you down.

You want high clearance OR to know technical driving. I might have busted my cat converter coming in on this section. Stay on the high sections of the ruts, they're a horrible rut + rainwash combo so they're easily 10-12" deep in some sections. I wouldn't recommend it in 2WD but I did it in my sentra.

Once you get to the fork, either park up or keep going. You NEED high clearance + 4wd for this part.

Keep walking down the road until you get to a BLM barbed wire gate. Its simple and easily un/rehooked so please make sure you actually close the gate behind you.

Walk along the trail for another mile or so to reach another fork. This time take the right one. It should immediately start leading you uphill. Eventually, you can hear the sound of running water. Follow upstream. You'll pass a dirty pool of lukewarm water but keep following it until you see the stone pit/pool. In the fall/winter you can follow the patch of green/lush vegetation versus the surrounding dead/dry scrub. There's a wood block with a rock on top of it. Use the wood block to cover the PVC drain hole, then use the rock to secure it. you won't form a perfect seal but that's fine. give it 20-30 minutes, go hike around, start a fire in the ring adjacent to the pool, and then enjoy your 110°F tub of hot and relaxing water.

Truly an expedition but easily doable as a half day trip. Be prepared to hike ~2 miles, bring PROPER SHOES (you -will- slip), bring a towel, and make sure you put fires out and close the gate on the way out.

Enjoy this absolute gem of a spot. Isolated, free, and scenic. @almost.chance on IG

Beautiful and quiet camping spot. Saw some incredible stars and is about a half mile walk up to the springs. We took our van up to the camping spot and although it was a little technical, we were able to get through the muddy spots. Definitely wouldn’t try to drive much farther up the path though 😅

The hot springs takes about 15 minutes to fill up once you plug the pipe with a rock, and is the perfect little oasis. Definitely worth the drive out here.

Flat spots just down the hill from Prince Albert Hot Springs. The road getting up here is rutted and technical but going slow we made it up here in our skoolie. Wouldn’t go further up the road to the hot springs because it gets much worse. Couple of bars with Verizon LTE and 3-4 bars of AT&T LTE. Was able to stream and work.

The hot spring has a pipe in it that you plug with a rock and it will fill the pool up more, remove the rock when you leave so the water doesn’t get stagnant.

Keep it clean, pack out what you pack in!
