Rustic? That's a stretch... but I loved it anyway…read more Had a great time at Dakota Hot Springs, but when they say "rustic," that might be giving it a little too much credit. Think more "DIY charm with deferred maintenance." Only one of the two showers in the men's bathroom worked, and the outdoor shower looked like it had retired early. The shade cloth overhead was thin, ripped, and flapping in the wind like it was waving a white flag. That said, the water itself? Perfect. The big pool stayed at a great temp, and if you wander into the "lobster pot," prepare to boil yourself like you're on the menu--it's hot hot. Lots of room to spread out and catch sun, which was a big plus. Now, the real warning: dusk. When the sun dips, the mosquitoes come out like they've been fasting for weeks. I heard it's thanks to the stagnant dump water nearby, and they make sure you know they're there. Pro tip: bring bug spray or plan your exit before happy hour for the skeeters. All in all--quirks, flapping tarps, and dive-bombing mosquitoes included--I'll definitely be back. Just don't come expecting "spa chic." This is a hot springs with character (and a sense of humor).

It is a nice soaking spot, but the vibe is a bit weird. Enter at your own risk! Can be an…read moreaffordable spa option.

Stayed here in February 2022 for 2 weeks. I was there 4 days enjoying the 60°+ daytime temps, when…read morea huge snow storm barrelled in and shut down the Front Range. The next 11 days were miserable and cold for me. Jennifer, the RV park manager, loaned me a heater so I wouldn't blow through my propane. The one restroom, toilet, shower and sink, for this small park was usually very clean. If there was a problem, Jennifer took care of it. I had to use it everyday as my rig was winterized and I didn't want to do it again. If you have a heated hose, normally that's good enough for this area to run water. I advise that you disconnect the hose every night and open all faucets. Temperatures can drop rapidly and steeply. It IS Colorado. Wi-Fi router is in the office in the same building as the restroom. The speed and signal were strong enough to stream videos. I plan to stay there again this month, January 2026.

The "maintenance" guy has several plants you can smell on your way to the cabins or the dumpster that's near them. There is a young couple who supposedly took over management that can't be trusted. MOST of the "campers" there have issues with her, but have no where else to go because they live there long term and are forced to deal with what goes on there. I highly recommend you DO NOT stay here!! Several of the people are nice, most keep to their own little "cliques". Showers are nasty....we were told by one camper she left something in a shower and it stayed in the same spot for six weeks! Very dusty. Not much room for camper and vehicle. "Maintenance" is giving away spaces to dry camp for very cheap and the consensus is he or the young couple are pocketing the money. Very shady place to stay. Better stay at the Wal-Mart parking lot!!

We booked our trip beginning of 2022-ish when they were running som specials on 2 and 3 day trips…read more I gave the information to my girl scouts and had a couple that wanted to go. I was not initially supposed to be the adult going with. I have a fear of bigger and faster rapids....... However stuff happened and it ended up being me. From the beginning they were easy to work with. I had made a tentative reservation online but we didn't have quite enough people. However our trip was early in the season. I called after a couple of days to see if they thought we would be a go. They opted to run the trip for us since we were early season. They did keep it up for others to potentially join but no others did. Which is unfortunate. Our experience was great! They sent plenty of email communications as it got closer including asking about dietary needs and then reminders. When we arrived we got there an hour early as instructed in the email. They checked us in. Got us a dry bag and our tokens for getting the wet suit. We went and packed our dry bags. And then picked up our wet suits and went to the bathrooms to change. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. The wet suits dont have the arms and neck so you would want to wear a non cotton shirt underneath or be sure to wear a lot of sunscreen (if you are renting a wet suit. We were early season and it was recommended to us) Turbo, the driver came out to chat with us as we were waiting and gave a pep talk. Through our chat he had found out I was nervous. Appreciated the pep talk. Our guides, Kat and Gregg were professional and knowledgable about rafting. Kat shared quite a bit of some of the cool history of the area. Gregg really try to engage my quiet and introverted girls. Being that we were doing a 2 day trip there was food involved. We had 3 of us who have celiacs and then one who is also vegan and one who is also vegetarian. They were able to accomodate our needs with really yummy, delicious and filling food. Gregg and Kat prepared all our meals. Honestly we all felt a little bad we are used to being doers. It was weird to have someone else doing all the work. But they did a great job and the food was yummy and satisfying! They also had some desert available at times and hot drinks. Was so thankful that they did such a good job with the food. Sometimes places can't get it right when you have a gluten free and vegan combo. That was not the case here. They did a great job!! Our camping area was lovely. There was a little bit of hiking available. But they also brought some games that we played for a bit. It was nice and relaxing. The next day going through the canyon was definitely a lot of fun. As with most companies they do take some pics of your ride, if you want pics be sure to stop back by the front desk after your experience. You wont be sorry this is a great company.
