We saw a lot of groups here doing like discussion circles so seems like a popular spot to walk a little in and hang out.

Hidden Gem in the Desert!…read more Tecopa Hot Springs and Campground is one of those special places that reminds you why you love getting outdoors. Between the natural hot springs, beautiful desert hiking, and wide-open skies, there is always something to enjoy. The soaking pools are relaxing and peaceful, ask About the private soaking tun.. worth the $25.00 -perfect after a day of exploring nearby trails. The area offers great hiking, unique desert scenery, and plenty of space to unwind and disconnect. Whether you're camping, dry camping, or just stopping in for a soak, it's an amazing experience. And campfire s'more's are always fun out here!! If you love hot springs, hiking, stargazing, and adventure, this spot has it all. Simple, authentic, and full of natural beauty--definitely worth the visit. We'll be back!

I booked an RV spot here and noted in my reservation that I needed to arrive at 10 PM. The booking…read morewas confirmed, but I was immediately sent a message saying that check-in is only allowed until 9 PM due to "quiet hours." I requested a cancellation and refund, but they declined. This is not how other RV parks operate -- late arrivals are usually handled easily by assigning a site in advance or allowing you to park and register in the morning. Instead, they chose to confirm my booking, then tell me it couldn't be fulfilled, and still keep my money. That is extremely poor customer service. The management was unfriendly and unprofessional. I would not recommend wasting your time or money here.

He and the other staff members keep the campground in great shape and this was definitely the best private campground I've ever stayed. There are RV and partially shaded tent sites (we stayed in tents) and a number of surprising amenities, including a pool, laundry facilities, clean bathroom/showers, and a remarkably large and well-stocked library. It was beautiful staying under the stars and listening to bullfrogs singing in the wetlands. Some great trails and an endangered pupfish pond are within an easy walk and a gas station, restaurant, and museum are very close by, too. Can't wait to visit again!

The odd number sites are reservable online. But there will be an extra service fee. The even number sites are first come first serve and they have a card paying machine onsite at the front of the overflow parking area. I think any numbers below site 25 are more spread out and less likely to be bother by noisy neighbors. Best site is probably number 41cos it's the top of the loop. We originally booked 33 but the site is so close to the neighbor and they had like a 40 people birthday party with a gigantic RV blasting that loud generator noise directly to us. Luckily the camp host was doing his runs and we get to ask him if we can change the site. We quickly changed to an even number site and it was so much better.

We spent two days, including one night…read morecamping, in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (NRA) which includes Mount Charleston. Administered by the US Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, the entrance is just 17 miles from Hwy 95 on Rte 157 or 45 minutes (and a world away) from the hustle and bustle - and heat - of the Las Vegas strip. Sunday. We started at the Visitor Gateway, where there are helpful staff and maps to help you to plan your stay. In addition, there is a gift shop, clean restrooms, an amphitheater, picnic areas, and trailheads to the Pack Rat Route and the Escarpment Trails. Next on our itinerary were a pair of scenic drives. From the Visitors Gateway, we traveled a short distance on Rte 157, until intersecting with Rte 158, which took us up the windy mountain road. We passed the entrances to The Resort on Mount Charleston, various trailheads, picnic areas, and campgrounds. We stopped at the Desert View Overlook, walking the short interpretive trail and taking photos. We continued in Rte 158 until we intersected with Rte 156, which we took left to the Lee Canyon ski area, passing picnic areas, campgrounds, and trailheads along the way. We then turned around, and went back down the mountain. Upon again intersecting with Rte 157, we took it to its terminus at the Mount Charleston Lodge. Our final destination was our campsite at the Fletcher View Campground (reviewed separately). Monday. We returned to the Visitors Gateway, and did the two "more difficult" hikes that originated there -- the Pack Rat Route (only 0.4 mi) is short, paved, and very steep. If you do it as a loop, the trail is somewhat washed out towards the end. Pack Rat connected to the 2.4 mile Escarpment Trail, which takes you above the cliffs and to some wonderful mountain views. Both of these trails are for hiking only. No bikes or horses. Some things to note: *The Visitors Gateway provides a good map of the area which I've posted a Yelp (in Spanish). It shows trails (including hiking, cycling, equestrian, and interpretative), campgrounds, picnic areas, restrooms, etc. *The map also highlights the trails in the NRA, with ratings of easy to moderate to more difficult to most difficult. It also provides distances, but not elevation changes. *When we were there (May, 2024), at least 6 trails, including the popular Mary Jane Falls Trail, were closed due to storm damage.

Great little store which is really just for looking at the oddities and pictures of a time gone by. Store also acts as the "check in" spot for the camp ground which only asks for a $5 donation. Lots of wild burros about, along with many parts and pieces of whatever machinery was utilized in this area. The truck is said to have belonged to Charles Manson, which of course adds a level of curiosity and imagination. Close by was the location of Barker Ranch, Masons compound where they were hiding in 69' and where they were eventually caught. Since then there were attempt to locate some of the Helter Skelter victims but I don't believe any were. The house has since burned and the area flooded. You can still gain access however even the road to Ballarat is difficult after the rains already this year and the road from there up is 4wd only. It definitely sparks the imagination. Now it's just a destination I think most people stop at on the way elsewhere. Mostly 4wheelers I think. I couldn't bring myself to camp there tho, just a little too creepy but it is a site to see knowing who what when and where. . Another must see if going to DV and entering from the west side.

And then there's another smaller section of wall that's not being help up by anything and looks like it's going to fall over on the next windy day. You just saw the whole "ghost town". Everything else there is a half assed rusty tractor part, a gear they probably found at a yard sale, the grill and bumper from a model T, and a "country store" that looks like any other roadside/hole-in-the-wall/going out of business because they have nothing worth buying or looking at, kind of shop. I'd drive hours for a real ghost town. But this place isn't worth the 15 minute drive down the dirt road. There are more broken down trailers on the property than ghost town structures.

At the 2nd boardwalk, I think I saw their infamous guppy fish. Overall, the boardwalk trails, reservoirs and devil's hole trail are actually doable in a day and won't leave you hurting.
