The pool is empty and looking very sad. The pipe does not produce water anymore. We assume it has been pumped empty by someone. Still a good spot for staying a night.

Amazing oasis in the middle of a desert! Lots of flat spots to camp and set up. There were 4 other vehicles here while we were but everyone had their own space and privacy. Definitely a hidden gem and the warm pool was perfect for soaking and relaxing.

great place! enough space for camping and there is the hot spring tub! I wish the water could be a bit warmer, but if you sit right by the hot water pipe it's ok. big thank you to whoever built it and maintains it!

Great little warm pool and free camping. There were 2 other vans and 1 couple car camping but everyone was quiet & respectful of space. One local guy was pretty grumpy about all of us non locals but everyone else who came by was super friendly and nice

FREE public hot spring!! This is the coolest place we have found in almost 6 months of full-time travelling. A true desert oasis. We spotted the giant palm tree first and then when we parked and walked up, we found the cutest little hot spring pool. I don't know who made this, but I thank them. It's a concrete pool with continuous warm/hot water flowing in. a bit of algae on the walls, but otherwise smelled and looked clean. As with all warm fresh water I didn't immerse my head and I wouldn't go in if I had an open wound. We came on a Thursday mid-day and had the place to ourselves. The temperature was perfection here at the end of September. No Verizon signal. Surrounding desert area good for dogs.

We loved overnighting here! The pool was warm and felt great after not having a shower in a while. We were the only ones here most of the time, but a group did show up to use the pool late at night and they were pretty loud. The road in is doable in any rig. No amenities and no cell service.

Nice camping at the small Tecopa Warm Tub (96°F in the afternoon, 85°F in the morning after a very windy night). Very quiet, no rubbish around, no amenities. The place may get muddy and slippery after rain.

We camped right next to the hot pool. There is plenty of space to park and fairly level. The pool offers a refreshing soak after death valley. The locals visit the pool as well and are really nice. Note that people tend to use the pool naked.

Couldn’t find, no marked road. Unless you’re supposed to just go down the dirt road at the end which I tried and got stuck in the sand in the middle of no where.

Amazing spot! The little clean pool is warm but not too hot, so you can actually spend some time in the water. Lots of room to camp with the lights of Vegas far behind the mountains...

Nice place to have warm bath. Unfortunately some humans left garbage all-over the place and butts around pool:/

Tacopa Campground. Quite large, all gravel. Half of the sites have hookups. For a site without hookup I paid USD 25 cash. There is a poolhouse annex restrooms and showers and a laundry machine. Quiet.

Good camp spot, free, can be windy. Drive straight out onto the white flats until you get a dirt road - about 50m and then turn right. At the Palm on the right are some lounging chairs and a small hot spring. Actually about 100m from this marker on map.
