Closed on Tuesday nights for camping and Wednesday for the day and Wednesday for camping. There is a big road you go up 2 km from the parking. It’s washed out and was a bit of a struggle to go up with 2WD

Nice place to spend the day if you are up for the ride. No need for 4x4 but patience is the word 😉

Paid 154 peso per person. There were two other people there today. The pools were very nice and it was a great experience.

If you have a larger rig, you will definitely be scrapping trees to get into here. We are 11’ 6” tall and there are a lot of low hanging tree branches right when you get on the rancho property. If you are over 10’ tall then I think you will be scrapping your roof.

This place is amazingggg! 154 pesos per person seems like a lot, but if you can plan to spend a whole hot day here, totally worth it. We walked upstream about an hour and there are beautiful pools after beautiful pools, some with waterfalls, some you can jump off the cliff into! We even found another super hot spring quite far along. There are nice private bbqs and tables and gazebos all over. Highly recommend! Also the tent camping is really sweet, the car camping is not.

Road to get in was recently graded but still washboard and sandy. Some rougher spots and narrow cattle guards but made it in our 2WD Sprinter. Two campsites for small campers with fire pits and a composting toilet nearby. More spots for tent camping closer to the springs. $250 per person for camping overnight.

A bit expensive at 150 pesos per person but well worth it in our opinion. Beautiful oasis, crystal clear water, natural hot spring. One of our favorite spots in baja. Make sure to get there real early for opening to have it to yourself.

Great little oasis! They are allowing 24 people in at a time, but it wasn’t crowded at all during a Saturday afternoon. We were charged $150 pesos per person. There were signs that said it closes at 5pm but I’m not sure how strict that is.

The pools are perfectly warm with that slightly sulfur smell, and the bigger pond is refreshingly cool. Clear water, clean, very friendly locals. Lots of tables to picnic.

Wow....worth the 1-hr trek from Los Barilles. Beautifully maintained hot springs/nature preserve.

If you scramble another 5 min from the hot (circa 102F?) pool, past the tiny lake, you’ll find a baby waterfall. Probably a sweet swimming spot in hotter weather.

We paid 150 pesos/person to get in. We expected it to be non-negotiable - we were really happy to have paid it when we saw how beautifully they take care of the place.

Next time we’ll consider camping for a few days.

Unfortunately couldn’t make it in our sprinter van conversion, would recommend 4 wheel drive or smaller vehicle. Friend who has been there said it’s a hard no on dogs , even on leashes. Apparently there is a lot of farm
animals and the owner is very protective. Made it to el chorro (close by) no problems , dogs were fine.

It’s on oasis at the foot of the mountain; paid $100 pesos per person. We were hoping to spend the night but it’s closed on Wednesdays so were not allowed to.

we were charged 186 pesos per person for overnight camping in our own vehicle. if you stay over night you get to stay in the pools off hours which was great because it was crowded mid day. hot pools are 2.5 feet deep at the most and we guess between 98 and 102. room for about 20 people. easy walk in. we stayed two nights and didn't find any issues with the camp area except maybe some exuberant roosters.

We paid 186 pesos per person for hot spring and camping. 2 overland rigs. They were nice enough to cut some trees back so we can fit in the camping area. Only room for 3-4 vehicles. Tent camping area separate.

Beautiful hot spring with a hot pool, a cool pool and a small waterfall. The road in, is soft in places but the carpark was full of cars. I wouldn't take a big rig in though.
Fee has increased to 86 pesos. Seems like the local farmer collects 50 pesos and the government is now collecting 36 pesos for preservation.

Beautiful place. Magical.
Natural hot tub and fresh water river for swimming and exploring.

We paid 50mxp/person since we already had the bracelet. Usually, it’s 100mxp/person.
Toilets and changing room.

A beautiful oasis with many pools, one of them hot, the others are cold. The water is clear and clean. It's a biological reservoir, entrance is 50 pesos per person per day. Open until 6 pm. It is not a established campground but they have two camp spots who are mostly busy and one cabana which you can rent. Also is there a pit toilet and a picnic area with a place where you can cook over fire.
No food, drinks in the pools, only at the picnic area.
