About

Hidden in quiet Hot Springs Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, Grover Hot Springs State Park offers a unique camping experience combining natural hot springs with alpine mountain scenery. The campground sits at 5,900 feet elevation surrounded by granite peaks and wildflower meadows. The park's centerpiece is a developed hot springs pool fed by six mineral springs, maintaining temperatures around 102-104°F, alongside a cooler swimming pool. The summer campground features 76 family sites spread through a forested setting of Jeffrey pine and white fir. Each site comes equipped with a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-resistant food locker for storing all scented items. Flush restrooms with coin-operated showers serve the campground area. Maximum vehicle lengths are 24 feet for trailers and 27 feet for motorhomes. During winter months, a separate 25-site camping area operates on a first-come, first-served basis in the picnic area near the park entrance. Winter camping accommodates vehicles up to 18 feet and costs less than summer rates. The hot springs pools remain open year-round (Thursday through Monday), making winter camping appealing despite snow conditions. Bear activity is high throughout the year, requiring proper food storage at all times.

Directions

From Markleeville, take Hot Springs Road west for 4 miles to the park entrance at the end of the road. The park is accessible via State Route 89.
