Aw yeah, that’s one of my favorite places to go. Hiking there is like a nature adventure, it’s completely worth it once you reach the springs. It used to be a hotel in the early 20th century, awesome place. One of the best hot tubs in the world.
@@dennisalanvids just a heads up, the FS closes the road going out there in bad weather because one could easily slip off the road with how sketchy the conditions get. Be sure to plan your trip out there in decent weather. Enjoy your travels!
Hi Abbey, the hike here from the parking area is less than a mile down the river. The road getting to the parking area is very bumpy so make sure to allow yourself about 1.5 hours for the drive each way. Have fun at the hot springs, I love it down there!
@@Itzabbeyo I'm about 1.5 hours away. Now that you mention power line work, I recall them saying they'd be updating the lines in the area this spring. I don't imagine it will be closed for too long. I was actually thinking of going there in a week or two...maybe I'll see you there!
@@Itzabbeyo just a heads up, it gets really hot down there in June so be sure to plan your soak for the evening as it will be much more comfortable. :)
I'm a local and this is by far my absolute favorite place.. I've been going here since I can remember.. fyi clothing is optional.. at night is a must lol pack in pack out please... keep this place amazing.
You must have visited shortly after I did the first time, the yellow “JK rock” near the “be here, Be present” is my contribution from visiting. Have been back each time I visit AZ from MPLS
Thought I was watching a Wonderhussy Adventure there for a second. She's nuts over hot springs .. but I've never seen this one on her channel. I really like the vibe of this one and thanks for the draining the pool lesson ... that's good to know. take care, and enjoy the soak. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hey Vaughn, yeah I ruptured my L5 disc a few years ago and it's given me problems ever since. Hot Springs, especially ones with lithium in them do wonders for my back issues. Hope your week starts off on a good note! ~ Brian
How long is the drive to the springs? And how long is the hike from parking to springs? Will be visiting next weekend and want to plan on how long it will take there and back! Thanks :)
Hi William, both songs are from a band called Thompson Town Flowers - the first track is Spaghetti on the Island and the second track is Affirmation. I really like their sound.
Hi Brandon, yeah the road is a bit rocky in some areas but totally doable in a normal passenger vehicle with normal clearance. It's has a ton of really bad washboard sections but if you go slow then it's fine. The last 100 yards that drops off into the campground is kind of steep but if you have good driving skills on that short section then you'll be okay. I hope you get a chance to visit this place, it's awesome! Have a great evening ~ Brian
That place is simply a dump! I had been there once about 25 years ago! I will NEVER go back there! Strange place, strange people, a long dirty road to get there on foot… 👎 Dirty pools!
I've been thinking about this and plan to write up a small booklet with all these locations. I'll get up on my website before Thanksgiving. Thanks for the idea, have a great weekend! ~ Brian
This place has been "discovered" for years, a favorite destination for the Phoenix crowd, and there are always people here. If you're a local then you need to do better in taking care of your backyard. Toilet paper and trash are everywhere, I did you all a solid and cleaned it up. Check out Google Maps, this place is listed there for years so I'm not giving anything away that isn't already known by the masses. Have a great day and be on the lookout for my "hot springs of new mexico/arizona" hand guide I'll be putting up for sale on my website which will include the Verde Hot Springs! ~ Brian
Lol wild places are for everyone, the more people learn about the world and the cool things in it, the better they become and the better society becomes. Maybe you need to get out more and let go of some stress? Can I suggest this dope hot springs i just learned about, seems like a good place to relax.
@@ontherd you dont care because you will only go there once or twice to take your selfies and also get money from showing people these spots. This spot might as well be sacred ground to me. Legally yes they are everyone's public lands but I've been coming here since I was a child. All of the cool places are being completely trashed and are overwhelmed with people because of them going viral. People are now starting to stop geocaching . If people want to discover this place they will but why advertiser it knowing it's just gonna get trashed? You're free to do whatever but I dont have to like it so shove it. Oh and also you're the one who came back to make another comment 8 months later so perhaps your stressed?
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures your such a dirtbag coming g and giving away arizona locals spots to your lame ass tourist page then on top of that saying we dont take care of it? We literally have a Facebook page dedicated to maintaining and cleaning the springs all done voluntarily but due to dipshits such as yourself we can't keep up with the trash so fuck off and go give away your local spots
@@fondofthebonds4914 Chill out Man. I'm a local and never mind good people discovering this place. Your energy is way off. Maybe you need to unwind and go collect some rubbish?

Love stopping there on our canoe trips down the Verde, thanks for showing how to drain and refill.
Where do you drop in and pick up? That sounds fun.
I love getting naked in the hot springs anywhere where there’s a hot springs!
Looks amazing. Cant see where he put the location :( really want to check this place out. Im exploring yuma now
Hi Dennis, this is the Verde Hot Springs about 19 miles outside of Camp Verde. Great area but really rugged road to get out there. Have fun!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures thanks! My minivan gets me to a lot of great places!!!

Thanks, my first close up look at this little corner of our great SW...
Hey me again lol still wanting to visit this this summer!! How long is the hike in?
Hi Abbey, the hike here from the parking area is less than a mile down the river. The road getting to the parking area is very bumpy so make sure to allow yourself about 1.5 hours for the drive each way. Have fun at the hot springs, I love it down there!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures do you live in the area? I just read that the road to get there has been closed bc they are putting up power lines

How far of a trail to get here? Been trying to go for a year and didn’t make it last trip to AZ. 🙏

take care, and enjoy the soak. Thanks for bringing us along.
I'll have to check out her channel to see if I can get some info on hot springs which I've not yet visited. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures You're welcome ... she's awesome.
Been there many times. Had some wild experiences there. Great place.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great area to unwind at.
Would love to see a review of your backpacking gear at some point
Awesome place. One thing to add to my bucket list. Retire in 2 more years.
Thanks for posting, Peace!!!
Someday I will have to go to a hot spring. I have a lot of back issues as well as arthritis in both hips. Take care. Vaughn

Never done a hot spring. Have to try it
I'd recommend it, the health benefits are incredible and I always sleep really good after spending time at hot springs.
Looks like a real cool place! I will definitely take the camp site route. One question, where exactly cross the river? Do we walk across?
How long is the drive to the springs? And how long is the hike from parking to springs? Will be visiting next weekend and want to plan on how long it will take there and back! Thanks :)
Name of band or artist for music in this video? Really good
Hi William, both songs are from a band called Thompson Town Flowers - the first track is Spaghetti on the Island and the second track is Affirmation. I really like their sound.
Is main water center hot?
Can you comment on the road conditions to the camp grounds? I've read that it's pretty bad, but not so bad for the adventure truck?!

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures awesome!! Thanks man, appreciate the info!
@@Brandon-gv8zx anytime man! Have fun at these really cool hot springs, it's one of my favorite spots in Arizona.
Seems like a cool place! I’ll be heading into AZ in my truck camper in a few days. Might have to check it out.
I recommend it! Very cool place with a relaxed vibe. There is a rustic campground with a pit toilet 1 mile upstream from the hot springs.
Take your trash with you too
I have got naked here many times
That place is simply a dump! I had been there once about 25 years ago! I will NEVER go back there! Strange place, strange people, a long dirty road to get there on foot… 👎 Dirty pools!
Wow, you really are out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for sharing.
You need to write a book with all these hidden gems and campsites.
I've been thinking about this and plan to write up a small booklet with all these locations. I'll get up on my website before Thanksgiving. Thanks for the idea, have a great weekend! ~ Brian
Colorado Backcountry Adventures looking forward to it. All the best
Thanks for giving away this place to the hordes of selfie seekers. Just a matter of time I guess.
