Co-ed dorm room with six full-sized bunk beds (Note - dorm beds do NOT have bedding - provide your own sleeping bag, blankets, pillows),
Twenty-three lettered spaces (A through Y) are reserved for vehicle camping. Along the loop, most spaces enjoy a great view overlooking the Valley while a few are nestled into the trees. Availability may be limited by mud or snow, so please call to check on conditions, especially from November through early-May. Sites I through K are often closed in the winter months. Several sites are near electrical outlets.
No Pull-through sites ~ No Hook-ups ~ No Dump Stations ~ No Use of Generators ~ No Fires
(sound carries everywhere here and generators can be heard in every campsite and pond!)
Please limit or shield artificial lights and noise so all can fully enjoy the tranquil beauty.
What we DO have...
Spectacular Views ~ Clean Air and Pure Water ~ Beautiful Sunsets ~ Incredible Starry Nights ~ 24-hour access to Pools and Ponds
The vehicle camping area is mostly out in the open, though there are some shady spots on the east side of the loop. Many sites - particularly those on the west side overlooking the valley - have dramatic views. All sites have a picnic table. Campfires are not permitted at individual campsites due to chronic drought conditions and fire safety concerns. Campers have use of all facilities including the Oak House kitchen and dining area. Though the loop is designed for campers, trailers, and RVs, you may tent camp here though you must specifically reserve a Vehicle site (not a Tent site). Checkout time for campsites is 12 noon, though all overnight guests may use the hot springs facilities before departing the property by 8 pm.
There is a nightly charge for each Vehicle sites in addition to the nightly per adult admission fee. See Rates.

Renowned as one of the country's most unique saunas, our sauna not only provides the option of wet or dry warmth but also a clean, cool basin of water immediately within. Guests need not step out to cool down. The cool water is among the cleanest onsite, coming from what used to be the Silver Dollar pond and previously provided drinking water for the Village. A heated changing room allows a comfortable transition into the sauna and nice place to keep robes, towels, and footwear warm and cozy while swimming or in the sauna. The sauna temperature regulates between 130°F and 160°F when steamed. In the spirit of sustainable energy, our sauna is powered entirely from our on-site hydroelectric power plant.
