Dakota Hot Springs

Dakota Hot Springs is a rustic, budget-friendly soak with a large communal pool, a hot pot, mountain views and basic changing rooms. Many guests find the water clean and the setting relaxing, and some visitors praised wheelchair-accessible ramps and roomy ADA restrooms. It’s not a polished resort—expect simple facilities and clothing-optional days. Several reviewers noted friendly staff and good value, while others reported inconsistent enforcement of rules, curt check-in interactions, and booking or potable-water inconveniences. If you want an affordable, low-key soak rather than spa amenities, this spot often delivers, though experiences with staff and camping can vary.
