# Staying near Grover Hot Springs

Twelve minutes from the pools

Grover Hot Springs State Park is twelve minutes up the Hot Springs Road from the resort — two pools in a meadow ringed by ten-thousand-foot peaks, the hot one fed by a fault. The park has a campground of seventy-six sites. Twelve minutes away we have seven cabins, riverside camping and RV hookups on the East Fork Carson River, two and a half miles south of Markleeville, open year-round.

## The drive, and the order of the day

From the cabins it is north into Markleeville and west up the Hot Springs
Road, about six and a half miles — twelve minutes. The pools run **Friday
through Monday, 10am to 7pm, in five sessions** — 10:00, 11:45, 1:30, 3:45
and 5:30, an hour and a half each, first come first served — so a soak fits
either end of a day on the river: the first session, or the 5:30 after.

**Phone the pool before you load the towels: (530) 694-2249.** The
schedule is the one fact on this page that moves. The pools close for two
weeks of maintenance each fall, usually the last week of September through
the first week of October, and on the morning we last checked the state's
own website said open in two places and closed in a third. Everything else
about the park — what it costs, the two walks from the same parking lot, why
the water is hot, what the 2021 fire did — is on [our Grover Hot Springs
page](/explore/grover-hot-springs).

## What you sleep in

The park's campground has seventy-six sites. Twelve minutes away, the
choice widens.

**Seven cabins on the row**, each sleeping four, named for a piece of local
history and open year-round. **Eleven numbered riverside sites** on the East Fork that take a tent or an
RV, one rate, no hookups. **Fifteen RV spaces up top** with full
20/30/50-amp hookups, water and sewer, booked by phone. Restrooms and
showers are free and unlocked for anyone staying. Dogs are welcome in every
cabin and on every site. [The cabins, the sites and the rates](/stay), and
[what's open for your dates](/book).

## Between the soak and the river

The state plants trout in the water out front from May through October;
the special-regulation canyon water starts a mile downstream. The store on
the property sells ice, firewood, tackle and cold drinks and is the last
stop before Monitor and Ebbetts passes. There is free Wi-Fi and no cell
signal anywhere on the property, so the store's landline is the number that
works: [(530) 694-2229](tel:+15306942229).

Dogs are welcome in the park on a leash and are not allowed in the pool
complex — they can wait on the porch. And if you would rather walk than
soak, the meadow boardwalk from the pool parking lot is 0.84 miles each
way and accessible; the waterfall trail is about two and a half miles
round trip and finishes over a boulder field.
