The campsite was beautiful and the hot springs did not disappoint. Can't wait to come back with the whole family! One note of caution - our bear box was great for keeping bears out (although there were no bear-sightings while we were there) but allowed smaller critters (squirrels) to get into our dry goods. Other than that, it was a great trip!

Exploring all the natural hot springs was really fun. Crossing the river via the ropes was a bit challenging.... we crossed from the campgound in the morning okay, but then when we came back, the river level had raised and the crossing was a bit scary. I recommend going up over the bring if crossing in June - not sure if the water levels rise up and down the rest of the season.

In spite of facility/infrastructure deficiencies, this is an incredible place to camp. The location along the river and near the hot springs cannot be beat.

I love Mono Hot Springs. It’s such a nice get away from the hustle and bustle of life. From the adventurous road that leads
there to the River, lakes and hot springs that surround the area. Fun for the whole family and dogs too. We even had a bear visit our camp sight & sit on our picnic table to rummage. (ooops we left a tiny bag of trash out we had meant to toss that night but didn’t see it in the darkness.)
I brought a friend for the 1st time and believe and her kid loved it, and the kid finally forgot about his device for a moment while there. Definitely plan on returning. Praying for rain so the River & lakes will flow & rise again. As it was surly visible in all the area lakes and floating down the River less smoothly.

The location is nice and our host, Jennifer was fantastic. Bring water. The resort store is a life saver. Definitely check out Doris lake.

Historic facilities. Well managed and maintained. Very friendly staff. A great spot for JMT resupply. If you have the opportunity, it is worth spending a day or two in one of the cabins. The private hot springs are among the best along the JMT.
