About these waters
Reachable only via the winding Kaiser Pass road, Mono Hot Springs is a seasonal Sierra resort open roughly Memorial Day through late October. Rustic tent cabins, historic cabins, and a Forest Service campground sit among pines beside natural mineral baths and a spa with massage. With no cell service and a well-stocked general store, it feels like a genuine mountain escape from another era. Reservations are taken year-round by phone.

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.

Mono Hot Springs Resort: FAQs
Do I need to book Mono Hot Springs Resort 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 Mono Hot Springs Resort?
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 Mono Hot Springs Resort?
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.
