I had an amazing night. I went specifically because the pools are clothing optional between 9pm and 7 am. Walked over at 9:30pm and hopped in for a soak before bed. Set my alarm for 5am to get one more in before the sun came up and to make sure I didn't break the 7 a.m. rule. Of course I was the only one in, the moon was huge and bright and the coyotes were yipping and howling all around. It was quite spectacular. Highly recommend a visit, but if clothing optional isn't your forte, then you may want to keep your goals between 7 am and 8:30pm.
Very rustic, but has a lot of charm. Hot springs were amazing. Great getaway if you want to be surrounded by beauty and quietness.
Prices seem high for remote car camping at $25pp. But warm showers and bathrooms as well as maintenance hot springs that you don’t have to worry about cleanliness is great! Winds were insanely gusty when we went, 25mph with gusts up to 55mph. That meant that the spring water could not keep up with the heat loss from the wind. It was initially warm but you body gets cold fast. The indoor pool would be great year round. The protection from the windy elements would have been perfect!!
love•Love•LOVE SUMMER LAKE HOT SPRINGS!!! The service is full of genuine care and support. The hot springs tubs and pools are cleaned regularly. The camping, RV & cabin options are so nice to have - opportunities for everyone from every walk of life to enjoy the natural wonders of our world. The night sky is dreamy. The waters are very therapeutic too. I have so much gratitude for their care and grace as I just made a quick stop in to dump my trash from Burning Man ($5 a bag - super reasonable). I can go on and on singing praises about Summer Lake Hot Springs -just go- it’ll be worth it!
Great place to get away from it all. The hot springs were very therapeutic, there was an indoor mineral bathhouse, and outdoor soaking tubs. The cabins give a rustic vibe but have refrigerators, stoves, steel silverware and utensils, and even a French press. The nearest big city is Bend. There are great night sky views.
We dry camped at the Hot springs and it was great. The indoor pool/spring is the coolest in temperature and is more like a traditional pool. But honestly if you want hot tub vibes go to the 3 outside pools. The minerals feel great and you will come out feeling like a new person. Also it's a nude pool experience, if your not okay with that then this is not your place. It's not a wheelchair accessible place, be very careful if you have limited mobility as the paths are rugged and not paved.
This was an amazing experience All the minerals from the water I believe pulled a lot out of my body and I am at a place at peace and calmness. I wish I could go there everyday. It was really amazing. I love that place! It was so fun to be there
We went to the hot springs to see a meteorite shower and comet, and we weren't disappointed! The area is part of the designated dark sky area of Oregon, and the night skies and stars were magnificent. I only had my cell phone for photos, but they still show the scope of the stars. The Resort itself was great, and the Hot Springs ... well, let me just say that we'll be back! The Bath House was clean with several changing booths. There is an indoor pool and a few outdoor pools to choose from. After a 2 night stay and 4 hot spring soaks, I was pain free. Ahhhhh.
Set on 145 acres along Highway 31, this secluded, rustic resort is 7 miles each from Summer Lake and the edge of Fremont National Forest.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
