Dakota Hot Springs, Penrose

We had a really relaxing time at Dakota Hot Springs. The staff were very friendly as well as the guests there. The water was the perfect temperature but the Lobster Pot was my favorite as it was nice & hot. Some guests chose to utilize the clothing optional option but we didn't feel weirded out by it but that may not be for everyone. There are no cell phones, drugs or alcohol allowed in the pool area so you actually get to talk to people or just enjoy the quiet. If your'e looking for a frilly place, this is not the place for you. If you are looking to enjoy the healing water & relax then I recommend!!

Great hot spring! reasonable prices, you get to bring your own food and drinks. The people are friendly and very non judgmental. Clothing is optional Wednesday through sunday. Didn't experience anything like the other bad reviews on here mentioned, I loved it. Check it out for yourself its worth the trip if you ask me. I do wish they would let overnight campers to use the spring all night though and extend regular hours to midnight, that would be the only improvements I can think of.
