mystic hot springs

Idyllic views from the hot tubs. Pleasant walking into BLM land bordering property.Downside: looks like the owners are burned out. Basic maintenance seriously lagging (website says tubs cleaned daily - Not). Fee is $11 per person, not $10 as website states ("we included the tax", however Utah sales tax is not 10%). Shower house hasn't been cleaned in ... months? years? Many, many projects around the property started and never finished. Made me kinda sad; dreams abound in practically every direction, no fruition. I'd love to support these folks, but they don't seem concerned with providing a healthy environment for fees charged.

Well... It's in a trailer park (i'm not joking). Everything is dirty and or broken, and i'm talking really really dirty. The cabins are gross everything is so make sure you camp. The hot springs is not maintained well and the pools should be called pits of concrete. Also it is a hot spot for hippie gatherings and jam music, so if your a dirty hippie you'll love it, if your a clean hippie you will not love it. Strange pagan rituals and everything weird hippies do, so if you like that kind of stuff have fun, if not do not go near this place...

Slipped my $10 each per door instruction under the door, but the price was raised an hour later when one of the owners followed us up the trail to get another dollar and tax. Inside the owners said dogs were welcome, but they wanted to charge us $50 dog deposit and $66 to stay in one of the buses which was about 90 square feet, had a queen bed and a heater and that's all. I don't mind camping out, and the bus was kind of cute, but the rules all seemed to change as soon as I showed up. Went to take a soak, and the only large tub was empty, being cleaned (which is good). The tubs were okay, but shouldn't they have told us the only real "hot" pool was not available. I have been to hot springs all over the world, and this was one of the spendiest for the fewest amenities I have experienced.

I recently visited on a mini road trip from Salt Lake with my daughter. When reading the reviews I thought this place might be a gamble. A gamble it was and one that paid off! Monroe is a small town so it's everything you expect it to be, a little run down, a little out of date, etc. However none of the distracts from Mystic, the place is incredible. I was pleasantly surprised at how updated and nicely done the bus (Ripple) was. I want to experience a cabin. The hot springs are great and the varying temperatures of the pools and buses are a wonderful experience.

Do not tempt Fate with this one. The place looks kind of "rustic" but we really liked the surrounding town so we thought we'd try it. There was broken glass in the tub I was unfortunate enough to choose. In googling the area we found that the "RV" camp, (old buses and broken down trailers) housed the convicted child sex offenders of the area.When I complained about the glass, the man was rude to me suggesting I put it there or accidentally broke a bottle I carried in. Not even worth arguing about. The next day my wife was itchy and had a rash on her legs. I will never again go to this hot springs although we enjoyed Monroe.

A little funky but fun trip!Refurbished 1940 era busses for camping in! Fun watching sunset in tubs. Sulfur free is nice.

We visited knowing that is was not going to be a paradise. First impression of the greeting with the gal at the desk was pleasant and the cabin we rented was quaint and cute. No running water or bath in the cabin, which we expected. Power is run from cabin to cabin with an extension cord. Rustic. That's fine. We're not picky or prudish at all. The springs were clean, but the property is run down and lacking in basic maintenance, roof is toast, siding falling off the building and an unsightly drained pool with weeds growing all over and junk everywhere. We're 45 years old celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary. We were told the owner was a dead head, so we expected him to be somewhat cool. We've loved the Dead and have seen them many times. The owner, Mike, came across derisive and slightly annoyed at our being there. You never know what is going on in people's lives, so maybe he was having a bad day. He made us feel as if we were troublemaking teenagers the way he looked at us. In the morning our propane ran out so we could not cook our breakfast. I went into the lobby to see if they had any propane for sale. No one was there, but I could hear people talking upstairs in what I figured was a bedroom, and I figured they were hanging out in bed with their kids, so I didn't bother them. Just off the lobby is a kitchen. My wife really love/needs coffee, so I really wanted to make it happen for her. I put my camping coffee pot on the stove and went to use the bathroom. When I returned I watched a video that was playing on the computer next to the front desk waiting for the coffee to be done. The owner came down, and I said, "I hope you don't mind. Our propane ran out and I needed to heat up our coffee." He very angrily grabbed the coffee pot and shoved it at me and said "You aren't allowed to use this kitchen, especially cause you didn't ask." "And you're drinking!" He was pissed. I apologized and left feeling very chastised. Not the way to treat guests! I was very upset about it. We were never told we could not drink, except in the hot springs, so I did not understand why he was so hostile about me having a beer in my hand. I'm on vacation! So I felt like the owner was more of Mormon than a dead head, and treated me as if I was an intruder, not a guest. Not the place to go if you want to drink and have a good time. We're a highly respected couple and felt very disrespected by the owner. I had even talked to him the night before about bringing a large group of people here and doing a concert (they do that there). Too bad. I would have visited there again had it not been for this treatment. We saw the owner on the way out and even purchased some things from his gift shop/thrift store. No apology from him. Unbelievable. He must deal with a lot of vagrant disrespectful guests, cause that's how we were treated. When your place is so run down as this one is, you've got to make up for it with love towards your guests. I delayed submitting this a few days because I was waiting for a response from their Facebook page to my complaint. No response after two days.

If you can, or would like to, stay in the moment then you will like Mystic Hot Springs. It is a very unique & beautiful place; however, if you prefer or need a little pampering, this is not the place for you. It's best if you can refrain from looking at everything that needs to be changed and enjoy what is. My favorite moment is at night, soaking in the healing water that has just come from the core of the Earth, feeling the little pebbles from Earth's crust and staring at the brilliant bright Milky Way. That's perfection for me. If that sounds good, then you must visit Mystic Hot Springs.

When we first saw the entrance to Mystic Hot Springs, out impression was "what are we doing here?" Between the run down buildings and the dilapidated school buses in the front, it looks more like a junk yard than anything else. But after experiencing the various pools and tubs, we are very glad we visited.We first spent some time in the hot tubs on the hillside where the water temperature was about perfect. Then, we migrated down to the main pools which were being refilled after being cleaned. Very relaxing and a nice stop on our tour of Southern Utah.

Driving between Colorado and Nevada about in the middle of the trip is this sulphur hot springs...it has seen better days...seems it was a destination on the 60's and it stayed there...it is cheap and with excellent water that will do exactly what you want...soothe the road out of your body. Not fancy or in best shape but worth the stop if you are a got springs fan.

When we first arrived I had my doubts because the property is run down and our camper site was just a dirt square - no fire pit even. The tent sites do have a nice grassy area though. But we thought the hot springs were amazing. Nothing like going to a big pool at Ouray or Glenwood Springs. We enjoyed laying in the bathtubs and watching the view of the sun setting. The larger pool had water cascading over the rocks too. Very peaceful. The next day we enjoyed a mountain bike ride behind the hot springs and a delicious hamburger at Andy's Market.

I have been to Mystic Hot Springs twice, once recently and once about 5 years ago.The last time I webt a couple of the baths were out of action as they were being maintained/cleaned etc. There are several old baths filled with natural spring water. The water is really very warm in the baths at this time of year but some of the water is cooler depending on the location of the baths. There is a deep soaking pool and a larger shallow soaking pool. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the views and setting are spectacular, lots of deep rusty coloured rock formations. I can understand how some people may not like this type of experience as it is quite hippy and down to earth, but that is what makes it a bucket list experience for me.I think if you do your research, for example checking out images of theses hot springs then you will know what to expect. I would love to visit again! Run by friendly people who are used to those on roadtrips stopping by.

This is not a spa or resort. Mystic Hot Springs is a place for people who want a great soak in a "down to earth" atmosphere. The lodging is inexpensive, unique, and worth every penny. Want to sleep in a hippy festival bus? Then this place is for you. Doesn't sound appealing? Then they have tent camping and shanty cabins. If you are just passing through the area and don't want to stay, you can soak for $10 all day and night. Definitely worth the drive.

Just bulldoze this place and put it out of it's misery. I've been 4 times and keep hoping it will get better, but it just gets more dirty and cluttered and I get a skin rash every time I visit. The rutty road getting there is nearly impassible without a high clearance vehicle, you have to hike a steep goat trail to get to the upper tubs, and you question the cleanliness when the portapotty outside is cleaner than the women's restroom with a broken toilet inside. Check-in area is also the owner's home. Everything is broken, cluttered and smells inside and out. I am done going there with my kids.

My boyfriend and I visited these hot springs on a trip to Nevada and Utah. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was lovely. We were the only people there for about an hour, then only one other person showed up. It did look like a hippie ranch when you pulled up, but this is the middle of nowhere in Utah, its not a metropolitan area so what would anyone expect? I didn't feel the place was dirty, it was cleaner than many swimming pools I've seen. You could tell the owner kept it clean because there was no debris floating in the water and it was a very windy the day we were there. The "dirty" I think people are referring to is the build up of mineral deposits. If you want a sanitary, "unnatural" spa experience, go spend hundreds of dollars at some posh spa in the city. This is nature at its best. I would definately visit these hot springs again. I loved that the different pools and tubs of water were different temperatures. It was up on a hill so the views were nice. Yes, the outlying in buildings could have been rennovated some but it didn't ruin my hot springs experience. It was relaxing, quiet, inexpensive and we didn't "catch" anything.
