Nevada Hot Springs

Nevada is overflowing with hot springs—more than any other state. Some are wild and a ways off the beaten path. Some offer a full hot spring resort experience. All of them are sanctuaries, so do your homework, pack the right gear, and read up on hot spring etiquette before you soak it all in.

Nevada Hot Springs Roundup

No two Nevada hot springs are alike. Most are classic hole-in-the-ground-style sites tucked away off backcountry roads where temperatures can get as high as 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Others feed into old bathtubs, or what us residents call “cowboy tubs”—upcycled cattle troughs.

Gold Strike Hot Springs: Tread carefully over giant boulders and along fixed canyon wall ropes to reach these hot springs on the Colorado River, part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Hoover Dam.

Spencer Hot Springs: Next time you’re cruising the Loneliest Road in America, park for a pit stop at these cowboy tubs with sweeping Big Smoky Valley views.

Soldier Meadows Hot Springs: The Soldier Meadows area is home to public hot springs and ones on private land that require permission to access. Look for bathing pools, campgrounds, and designated campsites to make sure you’re soaking (and overnighting) in the right place.

Black Rock Hot Springs: You’ll need bone-dry conditions to safely drive on the Black Rock Desert playa and reach these rugged and remote hot springs.

Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs: Wild wonders await at this soak an hour east of Tonopah, including views of 13,147-foot Boundary Peak and uncommonly beautiful stargazing sites.

Virgin Valley Warm Springs: Situated next to a campground in the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, these springs are home to pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and more.

For a wellness experience with less backcountry and more bells and whistles, try hot spring resorts like Carson Hot Springs, David Walley’s Resort, and Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center & Spa (Mark Twain himself coined the “Steamboat” moniker in 1863).

Hot Spring Etiquette

What Dress Code? Whether swimsuits or birthday suits, all make an appearance (or not) at Nevada’s hot springs. There’s no set rule, so respect and courtesy go a long way.

Travel Nevada Pro Tip

Pass on glass! A sip when you dip is one of life’s true joys, but keep it to cans, camp cups, and other unbreakable vessels only.

Keep Your Distance. Park tents, vans, and other sleep vessels far enough from the spring that your campsite doesn’t hog the view, hijack the ambiance, or scare off any local critters. Be aware of private property boundaries, too. Camping without permission is not allowed.

Leave It How You Found It. Being a good steward is what hot springing is all about. If the gate on the road is open, leave it open. If you found the gate closed, close the gate once you’ve passed through. And of course, anything you pack in (or happen to find that shouldn’t be there), always pack it out.

Read Our Hot Spring Etiquette Guide. If we all follow these “unwritten” rules, we can share these precious resources with future generations.

Looks like we caught the hot springs bug. Can't wait for another trip to new, more isolated hot springs.

Today is the first day in a week I’ve truly felt good. I’ve had so many worries a lot of people don’t know about. A lot of worries that are eating me away mentally and causing me pain physically. Physically to where I want to cry because I’m so stiff and I can’t move. Tyler has helped me through so much whether helping me talk things out to giving me endless rubs. It was finally when travelnevada and sydneymmartinez posted about Carson Hot Springs, and I said, “well let’s just go,” and let me say, WORTH IT. I feel so much better. 100♨️ Pool and Sauna really hit the spot. I’ll be back again soon. #nevadahotsprings #hotsprings #naturalhotsprings #homemeansnevada #travelnevada #yesnevada #nevadaspeaks #sogood #feelgood #relax #carsonhotsprings #ihavesomanyproblems #warmsprings
