Great place, I can't believe I've lived in the area for most of my life and have never been there! The only thing I would say is that they need to get rid of the hideous fence in front of the hot springs because it's ruining a beautiful view of the mountains and meadow in front of it.

We visited near the end of the day and the personnel explained the closing procedure and asked if we still wanted to use the facilities. Since we were the only individuals that evening, we chatted with the staff. The view was wonderful. The moon was out and provided nice pictures for our scrapbook. We used the hot tub (spring fed into a cement bottom pool), but we did not use the pool.

Camped at GHSSP this past weekend - Fri/Sat/Sun. 76 campsites. Great little State Park. We were with other families. We had site 19. Parking for this site was for two cars, and was off to the side of our campsite and up a slight hill, so unpacking our car and supplies was a bit taxing. Other sites have drive-ways (probably for RV's) that would be much easier to unload, and it looked like tent campers were in those spots, so you might want to ask for a site with a paved drive-way. Garbage dumpsters are kept near bathrooms. We were near two bathrooms; one straight up a hill behind our campsite, and one up the road. Bathrooms were clean, as were showers (bring your quarters). There were electrical outlets in the bathrooms. No soap or paper towels, so bring your own. We were there for three days and never saw any bears or any evidence of bears in our campsite; this may be to the heavy warnings to campers about food storage and it's compliance. On check-in we asked the rangers about bears, and were told that it had been two weeks since anyone saw a bear, but it was not in the campsites, and that the bears are not seen in the campsites; again, this is probably due to the diligence of rangers warnings about food storage, and the compliance of campers, so good to keep it that way, but that another ranger might tell guests they are seen in there to enforce heavy food storage compliance. The biggest problems were the chipmunks who come right up to your table so close garbage bags and then get them to the dumpsters. We took the 3 mile hike and although not strenuous, beware heat and altitude. Make sure you are hydrated, have had a good breakfast and plenty of sleep. Take nutri-bars or something with you. Always be prepared. We did go to the pools one day; it is $7 pp and in/out privileges with a hand stamp. The "cold" pool is a chlorinated pool - sparkling clean; the hot springs pool is about 102-104 degrees, just like a hot tub. When it was tested while we were in it, it was 102. We were told they drain that pool every, single day. There are bathrooms and showers there by the pools. Best to get in the cold pool first, and then hang out in the hot springs pool - heavenly.... Now, I read some reviews wherein folks complained about rangers harrassing them. We were 16 people spread over 3 campsites. We ate communely each evening and never had any ranger contact for three days. We were left alone, enjoyed our stay; everyone in the camps were well behaved, and most everyone went to bed around the same time every night - probably around 10pm. It was SO quiet all night while sleeping. Don't forget to head to the meadow just a short walk from your camp to watch the sunset. A short drive into Merkleeville would be a great thing to do with a pub and deli's, and stores. So cute and quaint. Support that little town because we are all they have! Camping was $28/day, and an $8/day extra vehicle fee. When camping with others who come in later and have to pay that extra parking fee, we end up splitting extra vehicle fee amongst our campers.

I love hot springs and have been trying to get to this one for years. It is in a lovely area and you can stay all day for $7. The pool area is small and so are the changing rooms. The thing that threw me was the smell of chlorine as soon as I stepped into the pool. I didn't see anywhere in the info that it was treated so I was disappointed. The chlorine wasn't strong and I chose to enjoy myself regardless, because I had gone to all the trouble to get there.I visited here in mid October while my husband was fishing the Carson River. The scenery was delightful.

After 4 days of hiking our sore feet needed a break. We headed to Grover Hot Springs. We did the easy hike in the park among the trees and had lunch at the day use area by the creek. We then headed over for a dip in the hot springs. The hot springs facility is old so don't expect much. But the water was perfect for sore feet and muscles. They also have a cold pool but didn't take the plunge. Both the park and springs charge a fee. If you are a senior you pay $7 or $8 to get in the park and then only have to pay for one admission to the hot springs which I think was $7. We then headed to cute little Markeeville and stopped in for a cold beer at the local salon. A nice relaxing day and drive. Recommend.

We hiked the Burnside trail, had a picnic in the meadow and then soaked in the hot springs. It's something different to do. It wasn't crowded so that was nice. (Sunday) Overall a great day!

It's a nice hot soak, with a warm pool and a cool pool. Cost is modest. The pavement can be rough - bring flip flops or sandals We arrived this visit on a Wednesday. No luck.

We didn't use the Hot Springs, but decided on a nature walk instead. It's beautiful around there. We enjoyed the scenery immensely. Above the pools are some stairs. At the top, there are explanations regarding the springs and the chemical make-up of them. You can also feel how hot the water is since there's a spring.

This attraction is a long distance from civilization; it is a State Park that reminds one of Yellowstone. Especially effective when snow and steam is everywhere. Facilities include parking on site, showers and restrooms and a knockout view of the surrounding country.

Lucky to have pleasant outdoor temps in the fall, nice facility and shallow pool for a hot springs dip! A big cool water pool for those who need to cool down and want to swim! Bathroom/shower/ change room good but swing doors a little worse for wear!
