Another day, another hot spring...lol. It took us a good hour and a half to get from Gila Hot Springs to Silver City. Gila Springs really is a destination place. I’d plan on at least a 2 night minimum if you visit just cuz the small, windy country lane getting there is a commitment. This hot spring, Faywood where we are staying tonight, is about 45 minutes south of Silver City off of a main highway. It’s in the desert and feels remote, but is much more accessible than it looks. We love it here!
Our camping spot is awesome! Most of the sites are in the sun or out in the open, but as luck would have it I guessed at booking the best spot. (Shhh, don’t tell anyone but site #48 is the bomb). We’re in a secluded little grove with the picnic table tucked away in the trees and has nice shade. Extra bonus water spout at our campsite. For those of you pulling a trailer #46 would be perfect for you, it’s still shaded and is a pull-thru. We are just a short distance away from the pools.
This hot spring has both clothing optional and clothing required areas. There are several pools or tubs at each of the areas. This particular area has three tubs, very hot, cool (95 degrees) and medium hot (about 102).
This place is super chill on a weekday. I heard that weekends it is quite the party scene, so it you’re looking for a nice relaxing clothing optional place during the weekday, for sure check this place out. Ironically, as we were just chilling at this pool there was only one other person here. Turns out she’s from Nevada City!! Small world indeed.
Just love the road runners, peacocks, meandering paths and hot tubs located in this desert environment. We get 24 hour access to all the hot tubs. Looking forward to a star gazing soak this evening. We are definitely putting this one on our list to come back and visit.
