    Biggest Pool
    Rayce M.

    Carson Hot Springs is a staple in the community and has been around longer than time itself, it seems. My wife and I go here about once a year to take advantage of the large outdoor hot springs pools. There is nothing better than a hot tub on a chilly Northern Nevada day. The facility is made up of small locker rooms, some saunas, a few private indoor pools, and a large outdoor patio and area made up of four hot springs pools at varying temperatures. Two of the pools are kept very hot and are jetted. What a treat! The other pools are warm but not over 100 degrees. They do allow children here and it's a public hot spring with an entry fee of less than $20 per person, so if you're looking for a spa like experience, this isn't quite it. But, for less than $20 and two hours of hot spring time, its a great value and totally worth an occasional visit. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages here, but no glass or alcohol. Picture it- a calm snowy day sitting in a beautiful jetted hot springs pool sitting at a temp of 104. Just perfect!

    I really enjoy these hot springs, the pools are hot enough to relax in for a couple of hours. On the night I went with some friends, the pools were between 101-103 degrees. It was the perfect temp to be able to relax for awhile without overheating. On a cool evening it feels so good to soak in the geothermal mineral water under the stars. There are many options for outdoor pools, the temp is displayed on a monitor in the office. A dry sauna is available with the outdoor pool price. Private indoor pools are available as well, they tend to run a little warmer. Those also get you access to the outdoor pools. After you get out of the pool you can warm up by the firepit and complete your relaxing evening. The neighborhood is very quiet and you will enjoy your time here!

    Great place to visit just 30 minutes south of Reno. Multiple clean pools, great ambiance, good eats next door and leaves your body feeling relaxed and your skin so soft and smooth. A great treat for the whole family!!

    We enjoy visiting here. We bring bottled water to keep hydrated. They have water fountains around. You can also visit the general pool area. We like the private rooms so that we can relax without being bothered. There is a time limit and it's a very simple setup with a bench to sit up top and walk down the stairs into the 100 degree plus water. It's very relaxing. Restrooms and private showers are available. Service was very friendly and helpful. Stalls are cleaned between uses. Follow on social media to get deals.

    4.5 stars, nice location with 4 outdoor pools, water features and plenty of seating. I wish that one of the pools had some semblance of shade. There were some awnings for the lounge chairs but it would be nice to have some shade while soaking. I do like the fact they have towels you can rent & snacks/drinks if needed. Pretty affordable & fun!

    This was a last minute trio as our original hit spring canceled last minute. We arrived and had a few people in front of us. They were having people hang out outside, thankfully it wasn't too hot just yet. Prices were reasonable, dressing room with shower, and several soaking options. There were two pools and two sitting pools. Overall we had a great experience and would go again!

    One of the five mineral pools you can enjoy!

    This place is beautiful, inviting and healing! It's worth the drive! Very affordable also!

    I absolutely loved the time that I spent here. For my first time I decided to try out the outdoor pools and patio areas. It was very nice, clean, spacious, and not very crowded on a Wednesday afternoon. I did not visit the main pool outside of the front desk window, but all of the other three pools out there were perfectly temperatured and relaxing. The staff could have been nicer and more professional though. And the bathroom could use some rethinking when it comes to changing out of swim attire. I changed in one of the private stalls, but there was no drain for the water to go. Regardless, I can't wait to come back many more times for relaxation and to try out the individual indoor pools.

    We heard about this place while in South Lake Tahoe. The main pool is drained and re-filled every day, keeping the water clean. There is no sulfur smell or sediment on the bottom of the pool or hot tubs. The pool had a lot of people, but we were also a large group, so we didn't notice the crowds. No alcohol allowed, which is a good thing. Bring some water as you'll get dehydrated without knowing it. A lot of people go here regularly for the health benefits of the mineral baths. We've been to other hot springs in the area, but after visiting here, we plan on going back to the other places and do some comparisons.

    How the road drive to hot springs?

    9 the drive to the hot springs is like you're driving over to your neighbor's house it's on standard paved roads no gravel until you get to the parking lot of the hot springs.

    In the private rooms, how often is the water replaced AND the rooms cleaned? The last thing I need is to be relaxing in someone else's filth.…

    Do they offer water masssage?

    Seems like everything little thing is itemized. So, if we pay for the private 2 hour usage, are we also to use the outside communal pools all day? And are there places nearby for walks & what's the closest place to get some fruit and produce , etc?

    The closest place for fruit with Walmart. And there is a very nice park, the Ronald Wilson Park off of Emerson about a half mile from the Hot Springs

    Thank you to Tim for being so accomodating to my boyfriend and I and allowing us to change our…read morereservations! I've seen cedar baths before on Instagram, and I had to try it out for myself when we visited Tahoe. He did an amazing job explaining to us the health benefits of the cedar, helping us get situated, and pouring us a cup of Super Ohtaka (a Japanese beverage consisting of 50 fermented vegetables) at the end of the session. The cedar bath itself was comfortable, each session is 25 minutes. I wasn't anticipating getting so messy! It was very fun getting buried in the cedar- the way Tim explained it was like getting covered in a warm weighted blanket. It's a similar experience to a sauna, I was surprised when he told us that there was no heating in the tub and that the cedar enzymes were keeping the cedar warm! I definitely felt my circulation improving. If you end up overheating, you can create air bubbles with your toes and hands or just stick your arm out to help regulate your internal temperature- which is what I ended up doing. We got out of the tub, brushed off, hopped in the shower, and felt rejuvenated. What a fun novelty experience!

It's not a sauna but an experience that you've never had before. Unless you're from Japan and then maybe you've done it. It's what everyone else shared ... peaceful, restorative, healing, warm. Kirsten was awesome and explained the science behind the cedar and warming mechanism -- quite fascinating! I have some pain in my right elbow as well as lymphedema in right arm. After the session my arm felt 10000% better. It was unbelievable. I had no concerns about cleanliness. Everything was great and after the session you brush off the cedar and then shower. Bring your own swim suit or they'll provide disposable ones along with a robe. Afterwards I was offered an elixir of some sort with digestive health benefits. It's available for purchase on Amazon for $179 a bottle! This was such a great experience. Yes it's pricey but sooooooo worth it. Thank you to the owners and staff who make this available.
