Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Location of an abandoned Warm Springs Resort. Old swimming pool where water from the natural warm springs was used to fill it. Other abandoned buildings on the premises. Dry camping without specified campsites. From the east an easy graded dirt road with some rocks to on the road. From the west, much more difficult requiring 4 wheel drive and high clearance. Abandoned mines and equipment close to the campground. There were two other campers at the campground with RV trailers they had pulled in from the east.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Road in from the east/the valley was slow going due to significant washboarding and some bumps but fine for 2WD 2005 Sprinter.
Be aware that the crossing from Badwater Rd to the West Side Road to the south can be impassable if the Amargosa river is flowing (rare) but otherwise it's the fastest route.
Warm Springs wasn't a resort - it was a mining camp owned by a female operator (Louise Grantham) who added the pool and trees because she sometimes stayed there. Neat place to poke around. There are talc mining and gold mining equipment nearby. Burros visit sometimes (soooo much burro poop). The shade and the sound of the spring-fed stream was welcome after a few days in drier areas.
We were the only ones staying overnight mid-week, but multiple groups of 4WD adventurers stopped by to wander around during the day.
