The springs are natural spring water refilled every day, different pools for different temperatures it is a blast with the family, Also has quarter duck food you can buy to feed the ducks, and chickens at the back. The springs also have no chlorine which is super nice on the skin doesn't make me feel all gross after. Will be coming back.

They seemed like a beautiful picture perfect mobile home Park with beautiful mineral spas, pools , kiddie pools , beautiful big pond with huge Koi Fish that you can hand feed as your walk over the wooden Bridge..
They even have a cute little store that you can buy odds and ends , when they actually Stock up on product…
I just thought this place was amazing until I made a reservation for my son-in-law and daughter with their 3 children to set up residency until they could get on their feet .. they drove all the way from Stockton California from an apartment fire while they lost everything they

We have been going to Sam's the last three winters for three months. January thru March. We are sad that we can no longer enjoy a stay at Sam's in the cute small trailer home that we rented monthly. We so enjoyed our stay there. We have many fond memories of Sam's. The Huxford's

This establishment was recently acquired and currently under new ownership. I was initially unsure about this transition and was concerned that the atmosphere I have enjoyed so much over the years would be destroyed. As COVID arrived, I was impressed to see that the time was used to make small but dramatic improvements all around the pools and soon my list of annoyances about Sam's became shorter and shorter. Signs were placed regarding loud music and the drop ceiling and fluorescent lighting were replaced with a sophisticated and appealing fixtures and lanterns (fun to stare at while floating

I will 100% recommend this place to my friends and family. The workers here always treat you with respect. Their manager Victoria always treats us with respect and always makes sure we are happy. The front desk worker named Bryan always greets us with joy and makes sure we have all the needs we need to enjoy the stay here at Sams Family Spa.

We go to Sam’s at least twice a year during the cold months. It is out favorite hot spring camping resort. The big swimming pool is nice and warm in the winter for playing around. The hot pools never feel too crowded. Management changed around 2019 and the prices have gone up a bit but are still quite attractive since entrance to the pools is included. One favorite is the soft serve ice cream. Get your before they run out in the evening.

This is the best hot spring spot in that area! I checked out several other spas, I was very disappointed until I found this one. Sam's has really nice and clean pools. The pools have a good variety of temperatures, it was nice to swim in the cooler big pool before jumping into a hot pool. There is also a small sauna room in the changing area. I got the day pass for $18, totally worth it. They all have a motel there, I look forward to coming back here soon.

This place is great. The staff was very polite and helpful. We stayed in an Rv spot and it was great. The spots are good size and they are clean. The park is soo clean and in good shape. The hot jacuzzis were perfect!! The pool is nice. My only thing was that the pool was so loud . There is no rules against loud music playing at the pool. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a family spot. However, people have no respect for anyone around them. They played loud music coming from a DJ speaker all weekend!!!They over powered everyone and bullied anyone else that was at the pool! I asked the

Top soak!
The kids screaming is annoying but it is a FAMILY spa, so breeders no need to get offended. Great casual vibes. Can't say enough good stuff. They are so nice, keep it tight, and got that real good desert spring water loaded with lithium and magic...and they have ducks chickens peacocks volleyball grills, beer and soft serve, salt water pool, steam room, sauna, cool wooden sculptures, awesome regulars, ....!!!!?? What more do you want in your hot spring experience huh??? Get into it.

Wanted to try this place out since I enjoy escaping to pools in the desert heat. Stayed in a room at the motel (room 12). It is the tiniest room with no room for a chair or table. Sink in main room with no towel bar or hook on wall. Bathroom was decent with glass door shower stall. Large closet with old dresser inside. Mini fridge right next to the bed. The LOUDEST AC ever, even on a low setting. But it worked. Bring earplugs even though you'll still hear it. The room was a disappointment for the price. The main pool is in great condition. And the mineral pools were decent too. Staff was kind

Our family has been coming here for years and we haven't noticed any lack in service, cleanliness, no changes in price or amenities. I can be a harsh reviewer at times like some of the more recent comments below.. but I disagree with there being anything to complain about. Before this trip 2/4-2/7 We came here for NYE and the staff told us and our group that they were closing the pools at 5pm and we understood. They opened back at 9am 1/1. New ownership? Haven't noticed a difference yet. We live in SD and Mt Palomar spring water got bought out by Nestlé around the same time; we have

Came back to give it a followup visit after hearing they have new owners. First of all the day we arrived they decided to close the pools down at 5pm, what were were thinking? Literally the ONLY thing to do here on a holiday weekend to boot! Second the office closed early, no notice of an early closure for that.
Third I had to watch their "security search for a key to his cart for 40 minutes. Obviously the guests at the resort weren't the only ones not notified of the early closure! The next morning the pools were okay. The camping area bathrooms/showers still had not been cleaned

The last one resort in the valley with all natural mineral hot spring pool. They replace their water every night so they no longer need to add chlorine or any other chemicals in the pool.
A friendly mobile home community and Rv/trailer park

They have small store with a range of everyday stocks
like snack foods, beverages, some groceries, toiletries but I wish there is at least a small restaurant or a cafe where we can grab real foods so guest would no longer need to drive outside the park to grab one.

I love this place. It is peaceful and so relaxing. They have rules so they don't get party animals like desert hotsprings spa and miracle springs. We left that place to come here. The place is clean and really great for little kids. They charge more so you don't have a crappy crowd. This place is for people who want to relax. Costs a lot more than miracle springs and desert hotsprings but totally worth it. It is safe and comfortable.

One of my favorite places to visit when down in the desert.
It's super clean and family friendly.
They change out the water ever day, so I like to go first thing in the morning when it's all fresh water.
My muscles feel so relaxed and I feel amazing after a few hours in the water! We pack a lunch and spend a good amount of the day hanging out and relaxing in the pools while the kids go from the hot pools to the big lukewarm water pool.
A great family place!
