Must Visit Hot Springs in Mammoth California

I had the urge for a solo roadtrip so I decided to pack up my Jeep Patriot and hit the road. Where was I going? I was not totally sure but I had an idea. I had always heard of Mammoth, California but had never been. Mammoth looked really cool but it honestly completely blew me away and is now one of my favorite towns in California. From ski mountain, to hikes to hot springs, Mammoth truly has everything you need for an outdoorsy, adventure-filled weekend.

Hilltop Hot Tub

In my opinion, this is the BEST, most picturesque, solo, serene hot tub in Mammoth. I mean, it’s just beautiful. Did you see that picture above?

You’ll park in the parking lot located a short walking distance from the tub. Depending on the season, I’d recommend bringing shoes, a sweatshirt and definitely a towel as you walk on a wooden bridge like walkway that leads you to the hot tub.

Once you get there, you’ll see this man made tub which sits about 6 people comfortably. 

Enjoy the hot spring and be sure to leave no trace!

Crowley Hot Springs

Crowley Hot Springs in Mammoth Lakes, California – the ultimate chill spot. Tucked away in the epic scenery of Mammoth, these hot springs are like nature’s own jacuzzi. Picture this: you’re soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters, surrounded by the chill vibes of the Eastern Sierra mountains and the cool breeze from Crowley Lake. It’s a short hike to get there, but totally worth the journey. The pools come in different temps, so you can dial in your perfect relaxation level. This place is a legit geothermal wonder, and as the day winds down, catching a sunset here is like hitting the chill-out jackpot. Crowley Hot Springs is the go-to for a laid-back escape, where nature and good vibes collide.

HOT SPRINGS GEOLOGICAL SITE: The Best Dispersed Camping in Mammoth, CA!

Hot creek geological site – When you plug this into your google maps, the parking lot will be on your left. Park here to explore the area and walk down to the creek. If you are looking to camp, then keep driving to go through gates (but they will be open) there will be a sign on our right saying “public land” or something along those lines. I pulled off to the immediate left (it does NOT like a questionable camp site because there is a yellow fence down to the site) but it’s BLM so don’t worry. I also think that’s why no one else was parked there.

If you don’t want to camp there or if it is already occupied, keep driving down the dirt roads… all of that land is BLM land so you can camp anywhere 🙂

Make sure to DOWNLOAD the Google maps area on your app because service sucks in and around the whole area

CAMPING HOT TIP: Pre-download a map on google maps so you can reference your map whenever you don’t have service — this is seriously life changing!
