Tecopa Hot Springs Resort

Feel the tranquil allure of the Mojave Desert at Tecopa Hot Springs Resort Campground, a serene retreat that combines the rustic charm of desert camping with the rejuvenating experience of ancient natural hot springs. Located just east of Death Valley National Park, this unique destination features a stunning desert landscape, pristine night skies, and the distinctive geothermal waters that underpin its appeal.

The campground offers a variety of options, including tent sites, RV hookups with 30 and 50 amps, and dry camping, along with access to the resort's private hot spring tubs. Each tub, fed directly by mineral-rich, geothermally heated water, provides a soothing soak in temperatures regulated for comfort. The setting is peaceful and intimate, with an emphasis on preserving the natural habitat—such as the endangered Amargosa vole that depends on this environment. Campers will appreciate the basic yet well-maintained amenities, such as restrooms, showers, and privacy features in the hot spring bathhouses. However, note that pre-soaking showers are required to protect the fragile ecosystem.

Situated in the small, charming town of Tecopa, California, the campground serves as an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions. Within a short drive, visitors can venture into Death Valley National Park for its dramatic landscapes or visit the unique China Ranch Date Farm for fresh treats and cultural history. For those staying put, the desert's vast night sky makes for exceptional stargazing, offering a rare opportunity to disconnect from daily life. Tecopa Hot Springs Resort Campground is perfect for weekend getaways, therapeutic retreats, or short stops on the way to other desert adventures, embodying a rare blend of relaxation and rugged desert beauty.
