"I love Orvis when it’s not busy so picking your moments is key! I visit mid week and right when they open to the public to avoid the crowds. They have made some great improvements for their camping which I appreciate. The best time to camp and soak is in the fall."

"Have camped here several times over the last few years. It's always super welcoming and relaxing environment. Their facilities are nice and well maintained and being able to go in the springs late or early while camping is a game changer. I love to go anytime I get a chance!"

"Decided to stay in one of the rooms. It was older and a bit dated, however comfortable, clean and the amenities are next level. We were able to soak all night and star gaze. The spot is private, secluded and the people are so nice. The staff was extremely helpful and we were able to come back and soak again before we left town. Will Definitely be coming back often."

"Absolutely one of my favorite places to relax. The mountain views are spectacular and create such a peaceful atmosphere. I love that they offer different stay options, whether you want a room or prefer camping. The outdoor pools are clothing-optional, while the indoor pool requires clothing, which offers a nice balance depending on your comfort level. I also appreciate that electronics aren’t allowed around the pools—it really helps everyone disconnect and enjoy the experience. Also 420 friendly rooms"

"This is a HOT SPRINGS experience in the mountains of Colorado. Come on in for a quick soak, or stay all day (with in-out privileges) for the same price. Memberships are available and include ongoing discounts! There are 6 upstairs rooms available for overnight guests, but they sell out fast and early (we couldn'tget one on the same day). There is also camping and RV spaces, plus plenty of car parking. The spa has at least 10 different pools, some..."

"Orvis Hot Springs sits in a GORGEOUS spot in western Colorado. The quality of the water and the natural stone pools make it the best Hot Springs anywhere. Though the facility, rooms and parking are forever restricted by property size- its a Blessing to keep from overcrowding the pools. AND the rather rustic facilities are being renovated with great respect and appreciation for the Spiritual significance of Place and origin of 'magic' Spring water. JOYFUL!"

"A review written a couple weeks ago stated that nudity is only allowed in the pools. This is not correct. The grounds inside the fence around the pools are clothing optional. One need not wear anything when moving between pools or the sauna. Some type of coverup is required inside the building. Another suggestion for patrons of the sauna at Orvis, please sit on a towel regardless of your clothing status. A towel helps keep your sweat off the wood,..."
