2 Reviews on “Agua Caliente County Park Hot Springs”
A very special place in the middle of the desert, about 2.5 hours drive on US-8 east. The water is perfect for soaking and relaxing. There are also outside cold pools for your enjoyment. Plenty showers and changing area. Everything is clean and well kept. The cost of $3 per person is definitely worth the visit
I like this place. We stayed overnight in the Cabin. The stars were shining beautifully at night.
