  • We don't often stay in developed campgrounds, but when we do we want one exactly like this! Beautiful grounds with nice spots (tent spots have nice spacing between them), great views, right on the river, gorgeous forest walking trail, clean restrooms, and of course 2 amazing hot spring pools. The pools are concrete with a nice pebble rock bottom - very clean and well maintained. A nice warm one for hanging out longer, and a separate area for a small hot one that will cook you nicely like a lobster 🦞 ! What an awesome spot to stay for a night or for several days.
  • We were on our way to somewhere else. Tired from driving and vacationing I saw the sign for Challis Hot Springs, asked the boys if they had enough of the road for the day, they agreed so we turned in. The woman at the desk had a back in spot available and I paid my $50. 25min later I was unwinding in the cleanest pools I’ve ever visited. The temp was perfect. The campground is well manicured and there are activities for all ages. Clean bathrooms and hot showers. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a peaceful relaxing soak. Only down side is if you’re reading this bring mosquito spray and mosquito fog and well everything on the store shelf relating to mosquitos as they are very hungry and plentiful given the abundance of water available to them
