Fountain of Youth RV Park

We are huge fans of all types of hot springs and pools, and that gives a big boost to this place. They have two huge outdoor pools, which we had to ourselves. This is definitely an older park that could use a lot of talc. The sites are very close together and the drives are also tight, so bigger outfits might have trouble maneuvering in here. Roads and sites are old gravel with grass and trees between. Each had a picnic table. The bathrooms were ancient and could definitely have been cleaner. The showers are pay and are little cell rooms that were not very appealing. The owner was very friendly. No cell service, but the wifi was speller with no one else in the park. Despite the negatives, I would do an overnight here again just to soak in the pools!

We stayed here on 6-26-17 new owners just took it over in April we will come back and stay again but they have a long list of things to do. First the good stuff the out door pools / hot springs are 5 stars three pools all attached with three different temps kid friendly, adult and the brave. Camp sites are good size some pull through with full hook up then others with water and electric did not ask or see but could tent camp here also. Big plus dog friendly ! now the not so good keep in mind they just took it over in April just reporting what I saw. The grass ? was mostly weeds something the locals call fox trail it gets into ever thing cloths, skin, sleeping bags and dog fur. Only one bathroom for the men and one for the women toilet keep getting plugged. Just my opinion they could use a good pit toilet at the far end of camp ground. They have 4 showers each take a quarter for a 2 and half minute shower here again please give the new owners time but only one of the four showers worked. They have a on site camp store can not say what its like did not go in but looked nice from the outside. The city park and town of Thermopolis is close by and a vary nice place. I get the feeling vacationers love the town but all the locals just want to get out of there. If traveling from the east to Yellow stone or the Grand Tetons make sure to stop here for a night or two.

Stopped back here after seeing Yellowstone to see if things have improved ? they have little by little everything worked this time and they have good WiFi but what we really come here for is the mineral pounds they where great good and hot but they do have one pound a little cooler for kids.

Very relaxing hot spring pools. Caution, the pool bottoms are uneven and slippery. The campground is a bit run down, many things like showers are in need of repair.

Rolled in for one night and enjoyed the natural hot springs pools. Pleasant and accommodating hosts. Though it’s on the RR track and highway nearby, it was relatively quiet with A/C running. Full hookups so we didn’t use and facilities other than the hot pools.

Great spot near the Wyoming State Park.

At first glance, I was thinking, oh no! But, don’t judge a book by its cover.
Staff: Friendly
Appearance: needs improvement but has the potential of being the #1 RV spot in that area with some TLC to the sites. Fixing old water connections, mine was directly over the electrical box, yikes!
XFactor: the spacious hot spring pools is the main attraction and well worth it.
Recommendation: clean the sites, weedwack, update electrical and water connections.

We pulled in and was disappointed by the overall condition of the campground. We checked in and the lady at the desk was very nice and accommodating. We chatted and all was well, until my wife noticed there as no Verizon connectivity at all. I asked her about it and she said where our spot was at the far end of the park we might get some. However, there would be no WIFI down there as it was too far.

We went to our spot to check it out and pulled into a lot that was dirt and weeds and some gravel. As another reviewer mentioned, a weed wacker would make a world of difference!

Anyway, at our spot, we had 0 bars of Verizon and the WIFI would not even show up. Not going to work.

I went back to the office and chatted with the lady and explained our dilemma. We have to have connectivity as we both work online. She did offer to move us closer for the WIFI but that still did not help the cell phone issue.

I told her we were going to have to leave to find another place. She gave me some suggestions which were extremely helpful. I was prepared to forfeit one night out of two nights of fees. But she refunded both nights as she was confident she would fill out spot.

We were very disappointed as we were really looking forward to the hot springs pool! One other note, it sounds like they clean the pool every other Wednesday so the pool is closed. She did explain that to me when I made the reservation, so that was not a surprise and I was ok with it. Just be sure to ask when making a reservation, to be safe.

As another reviewer said, a little landscaping, maintenance and gravel would quickly solve the appearance issue. A beefed up WIFI system would solve the WIFI issue. With those two things we probably would have stayed at least one night.

We weren’t sure when we pulled in - there is nice grass in one area for walking dogs, but the areas in between the sites are less than great. However, the owners were great and gave us a very nice pull through site. We had a concrete pad for sitting (gravel for the site itself), a picnic table, a bbq grill and a fire pit. The best part of the park is the gigantic thermal pool! It is enormous and has different heat levels. I loved being able to go to it and. It have to go to the public pool at the state park. Due to where we were, our cell phones didn’t work well, but the WiFi was very good. There is a bit of highway noise and once in awhile a train went by behind the park, but neither bothered us. If someone is very sensitive to noise, that could be a negative.

What a gem! This park has great power 50/30 amp sites with a front row seat to the Maytag Hot Spring, less than 1 mile from the State Park AND it has mineral pools fed by their hot spring on site. Come and just take a soak. The views of the red rocks is just gorgeous.

The campground doesn’t have reliable wifi and only one bar of cell service so plan to disconnect a bit and just rest and relax. Some people complain about train noise but I was never bothered. The trains aren’t whistling as the go through.

The sites don’t have a lot of space between them, but they are more spacious than the other two campgrounds in town. There are some trees on sites that make slides and maneuvering challenging, but vast majority of this sites are pull through.

The campground is in transition. The original owner passed and family members are keeping it now. It needs a little TLC, but still a wonderful place to stay.
