Keough California<\/strong> is comprised of two soaking spots – a small resort and the primitive tubs below. An Eastern Sierra rustic Hot Springs Resort w\/ campground, tent cabins rentals and nice landscaping. Big, clean hot pools at the top of the road. Entrance fees, trees and vegetation, next to the\u00a0mountains. Seniors and families frequent this place. Swimsuits are required.<\/p>\n

The Ditch<\/h3>\n

Below the resort and above the highway, are some primitive, free hot pools that require dirt road driving. Public nudity is common. Open 24\/7 w\/ several brush lined pools on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains overlooking the high desert of the Owens Valley. Quite impressive for being just off the highway. Buzzing, huge powerlines overhead\u00a0are one of the only drawbacks of this soak spot. This place can get crowded at certain times.<\/p>\n

Posted: No overnight camping allowed at these lower hot springs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Soaking<\/p>\n

US Highway 395:<\/strong><\/a>
\nLook for the turn off in between Bishop and Big Pine, California. Take the Keough Hot Springs Road up hill until the second dirt road, turn right and the primitive hot springs will be on the left, just beyond the cold stream crossing. Sometimes a high clearance might be needed. Cars should park and walk the if unsure of the terrain. Do not park right next to the soaking tub, as the ground is too weak and vehicles have been known to slide in, unexpectedly. No kidding!<\/p>\n

\"\" Plenty great camping all around the\u00a0Eastern Sierra region. For campsites with cooler temps, higher elevation, pine trees & creeks: Head for the Glacier Lodge Rd – Inyo Road #9S21, West outta Big Pine.<\/p>\n

Adventurous 4x4s<\/strong> can try super remote Coyote Flat<\/a>, a super high elevation pinyon plateau that overlooks Bishop. Also Highway 168 W outta Bishop will lead to primitive camping areas like The Buttermilks, a rock climbing area. Further up the hill is alpine lake and creek camping in aspen groves.<\/p>\n

Many developed Campgrounds<\/a> in the region.<\/p>\n
