Ein wunderschön im Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge gelegener naturnaher Campground.Anfahrt ca 14 Meilen über eine Gravelroad mit etwas Wellblech und Schlaglöchern.Unterwegs überholten wir ein Navion Wohnmobil.
Wer möchte kann direkt neben einer Hot Spring campen.
The story behind the spring is that a rancher saw some water bubbling from a rock, stuck in a stick of dynamite, and "viola" instant hot spring. The concrete pool top and rought hew stone walls were later additions. The refuge is very scenic, which makes for great hikes. And the abundance of springs and creeks make for the nice camping. The pool measures 10 feet by 15 feet, and it is 5 feet deep and has water that is 100-106 degrees F. The spring water bubbles up from the pool's gravel and bedrock bottom.
