​After 7 days of hiking in Yellowstone, visiting Yellowstone Hot Springs in Gardiner on our last evening was pure bliss. My favorite was alternating between the cold plunge (~60°F) and the super hot pool (~105°F),that hot/cold contrast gives an amazing tingling sensation and completely melts away muscle fatigue. They also have a family friendly pool around 90°F. The mountain views are stunning! ​Great amenities with lockers, showers, and a swimsuit spinner machine that dries your suit in seconds (a lifesaver if you're traveling the next day!). Pro-tip: showers only have body wash, so bring your own shampoo. I was a skeptic about hot springs before, but now I'm a total believer! read more

The location for this hot springs is beautiful. The service was friendly and helpful. The staff checked the temperatures of the pools often. Plenty of nice chairs to lounge on. The water was dirtier than I would like because the concrete surrounding the pools is crumbling and sticks to your feet , so getting in and out of the pools you bring chunks of the floor into the pool. There was construction of some areas and they were blocked off. Hopefully they are doing improvements. There were 2 bathrooms with doors and 2 with shower curtains, one with a door was out of order. They have a nice machine that spin drys your bathing suit. Overall nice experience with beautiful views. Hopefully they update the facilities. read more

Stopped by the hot springs before getting to Yellowstone NP with my family and we all had a nice, relaxing time here. The entrance fee was reasonable for use of the facility for the entire day - you can also rent towels for $4. We really enjoyed doing a quick hot plunge in the 104ºF and cold plunge (60-65ºF) pools. The main pool (102ºF) was great for soaking in. There's a Cafe to order food from (they suggest ordering online) or you can bring your own food to enjoy. Plenty of parking available. Staff is friendly and they check the temperatures quite frequently. read more

What else do you need after 5 days in the park? A hot soak, of course! And this place is perfect for it. They've got my favorite caramel macchiato, ice cream for just $2, and entry is $18 -- totally fair. Add in a cool lounge area, showers, natural hot springs, Sunday hours until 9 PM, and free Wi-Fi... yeah, I'm in heaven. Sometimes it's the little things -- a great soak, a tasty treat, and a spot to just relax and recharge. Loved every minute here. Thanks for the perfect end to my trip! read more

Enjoyed a day soak and had a fabulous experience. Breathtaking views, several hot pools, and a fire you can warm up near the poolside. Spectacular place. Would highly recommend! read more

Yellowstone hot springs has quickly become my favorite hot springs. I prefer it to Chico because you get a beautiful view, instead of staring at walls. Also, the staff is so kind. I really like the cold plunge, too. I would have given 5 stars, but I really think they need a family dressing room. It would be very helpful when you are traveling with kids too old to go with you, but not old enough to go alone. Also, I have had a hard time when I come there with my disabled son. He is in his 20's, so I don't want to take him in the women's, but he cannot change into his swimsuit himself. I literally had to stand at the door, and ask a stranger to check on him. Please add an option for families like mine! read more

We loved it! When we pulled into the inauspicious parking lot, we were dubious and not sure we had the right place. Once you check in, the setup was great. The check-in was quick and easy. How do you beat sitting in a hot spring with the beautiful views? read more

The website makes this seem spa-like. What this really is is a large pool area in a campground. The pool looked like a large pool with two additional smaller pools inside of the large pool. The large pool was warm, the two smaller pools were either very cool or hot tub temp. There were lots of kids in all the pools and lots of floating dirt in the water. This place would be great if you are going with kids, but if you are looking for a spa-like experience, this is not it. The people working were friendly. read more

Wr stayed here for 5 nights and loved it! Right by the river, views were beautiful and camp sites and RV site was super clean! Everyone was so nice. Loved the hot spring area and green beautiful grass. We saw elk each night and bunnies all over the park. Whenever I needed wood or ice they were fully stocked up! Cafe was nice and coffee was great! read more

We stopped spur of the moment halfway through our two week road trip from grand Tetons to glacier. We only stayed about an hour and a half since we were heading out to our next destination. The outside landscape and layout of the pool area is beautiful, and you are surrounded by the beautiful canyon landscape. Make sure you bring towels if you're able, they are $4 extra per towel. the staff was very friendly and attentive. The pool, cold pool and hot plunge were a great way to relax after long days in the park. We had energy refreshers in the cafe before leaving and they were a nice treat. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Only thing to note- some of the integrity of the pools are starting to deteriorate. I think if the pool walls/ rim receive some repairs/love, this would improve the experience even more. We enjoyed our visit- and there were plenty of folks taking advantage of the hot springs pools! read more

To begin, the Yellowstone Hot Springs also has a bare bones RV park, only 50 amp electric hookups, in the larger RV area, a few RV spaces with full hookups, cabins, and tent camping! We stayed at one of the RV park's electric-only spaces, and I will do it again! The views from our space were incredible! We met several wonderful RVers from various areas of the US and happily exchanged information about what you need to see, times, and places. The park is a reasonable distance from the north entrance into Yellowstone, so the traffic wasn't bad to get into town and the park. There were a number of porta-potties in the park are but in summer, these are not an option for me. My major complaint has to do with the restrooms, showers, and laundry room. While the areas were cleaned regularly, once a day, probably, because of the high number of people using them, these areas could use another cleaning midway through the day. There are only two flush toilets, and one day it was without toilet paper. This was reported to the office, but it wasn't taken care of until the next day. The shower area floors were always wet. The laundry area had only one working washing machine and two dryers the entire time we were there, nine nights. The Hot Springs is affordable at $18/person but if you are staying in the park, you get $5 off per person, and seniors receive another $3 off! There are additional flush toilets and showers in the Hot Springs. All the area we were in were clean. Next door to the Hot Springs is a small cafe but we didn't utilize this. One evening, there was live entertainment but we were too tired to attend. read more

our 20 year old granddaughter stayed there for 2 nights. The campground hostess was so mean and rude to her when she asked for directions to her campsit. very upsetting and uncalled for. maybe more training is needed for her. read more

This place was great! Our kids had fun going from the hot tub to the warm pool to the cold plunge! Great setting and affordable entry. The small cafe was a pleasant surprise with quick food options and surprisingly good chai! We would recommend for tourists leaving the north entrance after spending time in Yellowstone. read more

We spontaneously visited Yellowstone Hot Springs after a long day in Yellowstone. It's on the same grounds as a campground and I would describe it as a "Campground Spa". For a Thursday afternoon (Aug '23) it was very busy. THE EXPERIENCE: ~The hot springs complex consists of: One large wading/swim pool One smaller round 'hot' tub/pool One smaller round 'cold' tub/pool One shallow trench of water that you walk through for your feet Loungers, tables and grassy areas Front reception/shop Lockers/changing room Shower/toilet facilities Parking in front ~Nestled amongst the mountains, nice grounds and scenery. ~Entry fee was $15 (Adult, Aug '23). ~Towel rental available. ($4, Aug '23). ~The front check-in area/reception is where you pay, get your locker key, (one-time use locker for 50 cents), rent towels ($4) and purchase swimsuits, etc. I had to ask the front-desk person how the lockers worked, etc. she wasn't very forthcoming with information. ~The locker room has curtained changing cubicles and small lockers that can only be used ONCE or else you have to pay 50 cents again. (I recommend they upgrade to 'keypad' lockers). Don't bring a massive amount of stuff with you as the lockers are small. ~The bathroom/shower area was not very inviting and a bit run down. ~The large pool is mostly for wading/standing although it is deep enough to swim, but most people weren't actually swimming. It is supposedly a mineral pool, but it didn't smell or feel 'minerally' to me. It could have been regular water for all I knew. The cold and hot pools were fun and we did those several times, but again, they felt like regular water. ~There's not much shade -- wear your hats/glasses/sunscreen/rash guards! ~We accidentally parked at the campground when we first arrived as it's the first building you encounter. Ooops! An employee told us to keep going. I wonder how many people have done that? Perhaps better signage would be a good idea? :) Overall, it was an okay experience and somewhere relaxing to end the day. WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED? The locker room and bathroom facilities need a major upgrade. The pools are nice, but I didn't feel any 'mineral water' effects from them compared to other mineral spas/pools I've visited. The woman on the front desk could be a little more customer oriented. read more

This is a hidden gem! It was the perfect place to relax and renew! The grounds are immaculate, the hot springs pools were clean and just right! The coffee and smoothie were an added bonus! We will be back! read more

We came here September 2022. They were actually offering discounted entry fees at the time just because the area was so dead due to Yellowstone's North entrance being closed from the flooding damage. I'm glad that we still came to the area just for one night to support the businesses in the Gardiner area. We had a lovely evening in the hot springs. It was a great way to relax in the different pools of varying temperatures. Can't beat the beauty around you either. The only area of recommendation for improvement would be service. The lady at the front was not sociable or friendly. We had never been there before, and it would be nice to receive explanation. I even asked where to go after we paid - went through the doors not realizing we were supposed to shower before getting into the different pools - I don't think many people do and just walk through like I did. Definitely recommend if you are in the area for a relaxing spot after adventures in the area! read more

Large pool & tubs... lots of open outdoor space with plenty of room to spread out. The staff was friendly and views all around are phenomenal. The changing rooms & restrooms aren't the nicest but are adequate. I like the amenities & refreshments better at Chico Hotsprings but this place definitely has the better views! read more

Time of year: Mid-July around noon My nieces and I drove almost 2 hours to relax and soak in these mineral hot springs (1st time to go here). While the pool area was nice, the pool itself was filled with bugs and hair clumps that stuck to our arms while we sat in the water. in fact, there were so many we started collecting them with our hands and pushed them into the filter and then decided to leave because the idea of relaxing was not happening here. The floor was slimy and paint chipping. For such a gorgeous setting, I think a little more effort in cleaning would go a long way for your business. read more

Ok....i have to believe that the 5 star ratings are for the Hot Springs, because the RV park SUCKS....absolutely no shade and no trees on the Electric only side, the Full Hook Up side has shade, but there's only like 7 spots. The fire pit has no grill to use. The picnic benches are warped and uncomfortable and their firewood emits an odd off putting odor (basically shit wood at premium prices)....PLUS the best part......massive amounts of small gnats that crawl through your screen, when I say tons, I mean so many that your lantern will have so many bugs you will lose light. I enjoyed the Hot Springs (5 stars there). but no kidding, if you RV'ers put up with this kinda low quality campgrounds at premium prices.....no wonder these campgrounds deliver shit accommodations....and that's coming from an Eagle Scout and US Marine!! read more

I didn't plan on my Montana vacation resulting in me going to every hot spring in the bozeman/livingston/emigrant area but it happened! I literally went to ALL of them and Yellowstone wins by a mile. So much that I went back, twice! I can't say enough about the level of relaxation you can achieve here. You are enveloped 360 by mountain views that instantly put you at visual peace. They have three different pool temperatures so you can maximize the benefits of each. After 15 minutes you'll feel a intense state of relaxation you were not even pursuing, it just happens! The staff are lovely and really leave you alone to enjoy the meticulously cared for space they have created. A huge shout out to the landscaping crew, the grounds are stunning. Yes the locker rooms don't have the most modern finishes and are a bit dated, but this place has been around a while, and they are well cared for and perfectly clean. Besides, no one spends more than 2 minutes in a locker room! All the amazing parts of these springs are in the name.... OUTSIDE... at the HOT SPRINGS! If you are looking for a five star hot spring experience and not a 5 star locker room experience, come here FIRST! Side Story: On our last day in Montana we decided to give Chico hot springs a try because it was at the base of one of our hiking trails. Paid $50 for three of us get in, got in the chico pool for 3 minutes when my son looked at me and said "This place s*cks. Let's bounce and go back to Yellowstone" And we got out immediately and went to Yellowstone! That's a good indication of the level of difference you'll find here! read more

We rented one of the new suites. While it's new inside, the surrounding property is awful and dirty! Mobile homes are next to the property and it looks like it's falling all apart. The suites are horribly stocked. Don't think about trying to cook. There was an oven but no pan to cook anything in the oven. They gave you 1 pod to wash one load only of dishes. The supplies were awful! It's not a functioning home really. It's a place to sleep outside of Gardiner. Skip this place and stay in the town of Gardiner. read more

Came here during our trip to Yellowstone after a long day of hiking and boy was it relaxing! This place offered free entry for my gf's birthday which was nice! $15 for an all day in and out pass which was awesome. Men and women's locker rooms that led straight to the hot spring area. The main pool was a nice 100 degree pool and there were smaller cold and hotter pools around. Beautiful views of the Montana mountains surrounded the facility and beautiful lights and fire pits were turned on at night. Pool was not crowded at all and even had powerful massage jets. Definitely make it a point to come visit here if you plan on visiting Yellowstone read more

Yellowstone Hot Springs - Hot Springs Near Me - Gardiner, Montana

A great place to relax after several days of hiking. Pools are fed from a thermal on the Yellowstone River. 3 pools: hot is 106 degrees, cold is 66 degrees, medium is 90 degrees. Really nice staff and clean bathhouses. No alcohol allowed so great for families. Makes a great stop for your last day at Yellowstone or after rafting. Price is for all day, so you can leave, go eat, and come back. They also sell Wilcoxson's ice cream in a cooler by the door as an added bonus. Bring your own towels. read more

Yellowstone Hot Springs - Three pools - Hot Springs Near Me - Gardiner, Montana

Nice place, not too crowded (in December). The only thing to improve would be some outdoor heaters or covered area to eat lunch. We observed most people eating in their cars because there wasn't a warm place inside for eating in the cold months when you're all wet from the pool. Good thing they allow in and out privileges and you can bring your own food. Great for kids. read more

Worst experience ever. It's literally hot tubs, not natural springs. Locker rooms are horrible and dirty

Hot springs pool was beautifully done and relaxing! My family enjoyed going from the cold pool to the warmest pools but I enjoyed staying in the middle! Nice locker rooms and changing areas they sell, snacks and drinks, bathing suits, goggles and swim gear. read more

Absolutely LOVED it here. The best soaking experience by far! They've got 3 different pools with 3 different temps. A cold plunge pool, a very large warm pool, and the hot pool. They also created a "walk" you can do that consists of starting in the hot pool, doing the "walk" thing (you'll see it if you go...it's awesome), plunging into the cold then back to the hot. IT. IS. PHENOMENAL. My husband and I were there for about 4 hours and our bodies felt AMAZING afterward...absolutely amazing. What the thermal shocking does for your body is incomparable to any of the nearby hot springs. Great set up all around! read more

We spent a lovely afternoon with our kids at this host springs. Definitely family friendly, they even had free floaters and googles for our girls and a good variety of pools (both in temperature and depth), even when my youngest needed a suit they had some that we could borrow. Highlight of our trip. Highly recommend. read more

The Yellow Stone Hot Springs was really a great experience. they have 3 POOLS, a cold dip, a hot pool with jets about 85-90 degrees, and a very hot pool about 96 or hotter. The amazing experience is it is real mineral water they harvest and the view is the Yellowstone River and surrounded by the mountains I could even see one lone buffalo way on the top of the ridge I did not have a bathing suit and my husband did not have swim trunks but we were able to purchase them there. The cost was 15 dollars to get in and soak as long as you like! A really great experience thank you Yellowstone Hot Springs my ACHEY SHOULDER feels SO MUCH BETTER now. read more

Such a cute little place! My family and I were traveling to yellowstone and was in Gardiner but we couldn't check in and it was raining, we asked the front desk what we can do in the time being and this was the place she suggested! It was a little packed but nothing too bad. Felt really nice afterwards and a great place to revisit. read more

Omg...if I could soak in here everyday..I would! I highly recommend anyone (any ages) to just relax and enjoy the open fresh air & soak up the beautiful views of mountains surrounding this place. I am ecstatic to have found this place in Corwin Springs...only 7 miles from where we were staying in Gardiner. Check out their websites for specific directions but it's not hard to find it, they do have a billboard on the main road. The place is located next to a campground. We walked into the small main check in place...simple process stated in the website. The lady checking us in was very friendly and welcoming. The women will then proceed to the ladies room and the men will proceed to the other side of the door. The ladies area opens up to the lockers, changing rooms, bathrooms and shower. Then you walk out into the spa area. There's 3 main pools...the main nice warm pool 98'-100', the hot pool is about 103'-106' and the cold plunge is about 65'. We talked to one of the staff there...a very nice guy who told us the place was pretty new opened in 2018 and they have more plans for expansion. The thermal natural hot spring water are tested for the temperature and continued circulating water is clean and mineral filled. There's different spots with different pressure jets that he explained to us in the main pool and different heights that any ages can go in there. The main pool is perfect to sit there and relax, melting the stress and tension in my body after hiking. Then go through the Kneipp ritual...rough paved stone walk through the hot water and then cold water on your feet for circulation. Someone told me to do it 7 times around and then head to the cold plunge pool and soak there before heading to the hot tub and soak. Couple times of repetitive cycle helps with blood circulation and rejuvenating freshness. This place reminds me of Thermëa in Winnipeg, Canada which is one of my favorite spa places. My family and I felt great after that especially with the natural spring water that is not nasty like chlorine...leaving your skin soft and moisturized. Highly recommend if you are in the area of North Yellowstone Park. read more

Very friendly and inviting..very family oriented yet very relaxing. The water felt great and we slept and felt great after being in the springs. I also liked the idea of having a locker room to change in and even had towels to rent and swimsuits to purchase. read more

Very atmospheric with the scenic view of the mountains. There's a guided "route" for using the pools and the different temperatures which we felt was worth following. read more

Love that there is the opportunity to contrast bathe. The Kneipp Walk is lovely. It can get pretty crowded. Those in the hotter tub didn't seem to mind the "No more than 16 people" sign. Due to Delta, it was a bit troubling to see so many people squished together without masks on. But otherwise, I'd love to be able to go there every morning to start out the day right. read more

A worker at the hotel I was staying at recommended this hot springs when I inquired if there were any around to sit and relax in. This place was great! Very relaxing! Well kept. Great views.

This is a great new addition to the hot springs options in Paradise Valley. While a little pricey, it's clear that they're going for a different vibe than nearby Chico (which will always have a special place in my heart). Entry fee for adults is $18, and towel rental is $4 (we brought our own towels). They had water and basic snacks available for sale in the main entry. I didn't see a bottle refilling station or water fountain, which would be a nice addition to ensure that everyone stays hydrated. There are 3 pools (hot, cold, and a larger warm pool that flowed around the others), all of which are outdoors and uncovered with stunning views of the mountains and even a nearby bison farm. The surrounding lawn is beautifully landscaped and I think the feeling of being "in nature" while soaking will be a big boon to this business. Be warned, this water is very mineral rich and has a lot of iron in it- we were a little weirded out by the orange flakes and buildup- but put at ease when a friendly patron explained that it is minerals and not some growing thing. The pools are drained every 72 hours. This is their first summer open, and all seems to be running pretty smoothly. I do hope they refine things a bit, because I'd love to spend more time here in the future- it would be GREAT if they covered some portion of the pools. It's just so hot with the sun beating down on you. Also, I hope they start to enforce the rules on diving- children were running wild in every pool, diving and splashing and being obnoxious. For the $18 entry, I hope for a more peaceful experience. read more
