About these waters

Also known as Camas Hot Springs, this is the town of Hot Springs' simplest public soak: a plain concrete pool fed by geothermal water, with a changing booth and a toilet and not much else. Admission runs on the honor system via a cash box on site, typically a few dollars. Open sunrise to sunset year-round, it draws locals and quiet-seeking travelers who prefer an unadorned mineral dip over a resort scene.

Good to know

  • Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
  • Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
  • Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Big Medicine Hot Springs: FAQs

Do I need to book Big Medicine Hot Springs in advance?

For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.

Are kids welcome at Big Medicine Hot Springs?

Many developed springs welcome families, but age rules, family hours, and adults-only pools vary by property. Check the official site for the current policy before visiting with children.

How long should I soak at Big Medicine Hot Springs?

Start with 15–20 minutes, then cool off and hydrate before going back in. Hot mineral water dehydrates you faster than you expect — drink water between soaks and don't push through dizziness.
