A private Campground, Hot Soak in the Utah region.
Number of visits: 4

Bathroom: yes • Water: no
There is one big pool with a little waterfall, then up the hill are some bathtubs for your own private soak overlooking the wide valley. Really cool setup.
Camping area is 200 yards down the hill.
The pools are spectacular and the actual camping area is pleasant but rest of the property is extremely derelict.
Walking up the crappy trail to the bathtubs in flip flops is hard for a 70-year old. It's pretty dangerous coming back down in wet flip-flops!
Electric hookups and tent/van sleeping seem to be the same price.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
Still awesome. Biker party at the cabin 80 yards away (just far enough :).
Good innovation since last time: good wifi in the campground. Bad innovation: Stupid wristband you have to wear to the hot spring, and therefore all night if you want to soak in the morning.
In general the place seems to be getting less derelict in small steps.
Price has gone way up. Still a cool place though.
The camping area is still pleasant. I think I'm used to the rest of it because it didn't seem so derelict this time.
In any event I've had a great time both times I've been here.
