Description

This is a wonderful camping in the National park of barranca del cobre. The road to this place is 19km dirt road with some difficult spots (it took us an hour to get there on 2WD - would recommend 4WD), but the reward is great! We stayed two nights for 360 pesos. There are multiple level spots under the trees with bbq and there is a hot spring fed pool that is very relaxing. The people do run this place are very nice. We felt this was a local secret, because it was so quiet. There is no restaurant but there is a small shop. Best to bring some food of your own. Can highly recommend this place!

Very nice Place. Took me 40 minutes from Main Road with Moto. Last 1000 meters when it goes down into the Valley Road Washout. Hot Water 35-60 Degrees Celsius in January.

The road in as of January 2023 is rough at sections but entirely doable with a 2wd (in fact, most spots you likely won't even need high clearance, and if you can pick your path on the tough spots you'll be fine). If the road is wet, this could be a different story. At about 12 kms in (our trip tracker said 12.3km), there's a steep rough section where the road gets narrow, but we had no issues in our 2wd (rear locking differential) GMC Savana.
Our trip tracker said from the road to the campsite was just under 14kms. (27.6 on the trip odometer for both ways, so 13.8km each way).
The signage said 150 for camping but somehow this does not include entry, which is an additional 25 pesos per adult (20 per kid). So for a night we paid 200 pesos. You park next to a concrete BBQ area (wood BBQ), next to a tin roof palapa. The water was nice and hot. The large pools get filled in the morning with fresh hot water and slowly leak out all day. Two of the four pools were filled while we were there. We were able to soak until about 8:30 when the water in the pool started to get cool and low. They already had the tubs refilled with hot water by 8am when we went for a soak the next morning.
There are bathrooms with flush toilets, but the showers don't have knobs so we couldn't turn them on. We used the very hot river water by the campsite to wash ourselves instead.
There was no tienda or shop open while we were there, but perhaps in the busier season it's open. We were the only guests there at the time of our visit.
We were grateful for a nice soak, but as with many of these places in Mexico, we weren't expecting a well maintained campsite.
We'd definitely recommend if you're hunting for a nice hot soak.
