This resort-style spring welcomes you with comfortably heated pools at around 100°F, blending natural charm with easy access. The surrounding landscape of rolling hills and oak trees creates a peaceful retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Getting There
You reach Yates Hot Springs by driving through the small community of Frazier Park off Highway 33. Ample parking is available near the entrance, so you won’t need to hike far to reach the pools. The paved roads and clear signage make arriving hassle-free compared to more remote hot springs in California.
What to Expect
The warm spring pools maintain a pleasant temperature year-round, creating a soothing soak that invites you to unwind. The atmosphere feels welcoming rather than wild, with facilities including changing rooms and picnic areas. Though the site can attract weekend visitors, the peaceful setting and generous space ensure you find a comfortable spot to relax.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during weekdays or early mornings to avoid the busiest times. Bring swimwear and a towel, as rentals may not always be available. A modest entrance fee grants access to well-maintained pools, and following posted rules helps preserve the pleasant experience for all guests.
