Description

Added by Eric Bennett

There are 3 warm pools to soak in and it is open all night...hopefully with little to no crowds.

These hot springs are located on private property but the owner allows anyone to come and take a dip. You can camp overnight and also have fires in the several pits near the pools. He just asks all the visitors to keep it cleaner than they found it and Leave No Trace of course. There are 3 different pools, but the first one is said to be the warmest. They are super deep and the water is very clear. Bring some glow-sticks or lights to swim to the bottom if you want (but never leave anything behind), it is also cool to scuba dive here if you have the gear.

Take the Meadow exit 158 just south of Filmore on I-15. Turn left at the stop sign and go under the freeway, passing a Shell station on the right heading south. Keep going until you pass the last buildings on the left. Shortly after passing the buildings on the left, you will see a well maintained dirt road on the right. You will cross a bridge over the freeway and continue straight on the same road until you reach the fence just about 100 meters in front of the first pool.

Take a Dip in the Meadow Hot Springs Reviews

This spot was open last night. The larger of the 3 pools is the coolest. The other 2 are really warm but not super hot. We stopped by and tested out the water on our way back from Vegas. There is an abandoned pick up truck with a "Redneck" window sticker that seems to be stuck in the mud, that was kind of creepy to see at night (it was just the girlfriend and I .... sounds like the beginning of a horror movie....). In order to get to the most eastern pool, you'll need a vehicle with relatively high clearance. We were driving a newer Outback. Normal clearance cars will do just fine getting to the other 2 pools. Wasn't too muddy, but it was also 20 degrees F. Once it warms up, I bet it gets pretty muddy.

Pretty cool spot. The pools smaller pools are warmer, but the big pool is impressive, and a apparently is 75 feet deep! Lot's of little (and bigger) tropical fish in the big pool. Fun spot to stop on your way north or south on the I-15.

Is this place still open? Heard a rumor that this place is not open any more. Hoping there is someone that can tell me otherwise. Thanks.
