About Valley View Hot Springs
Campground in Colorado.
Nestled in the scenic San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, Valley View Hot Springs offers a unique camping experience that combines natural hot springs with stunning mountain views and outdoor recreation opportunities. Located near the small community of Moffat, this public campground sits at an elevation where visitors can enjoy cooler temperatures during summer months while still accessing the therapeutic hot springs that draw visitors from across the region.
The valley setting provides a remarkable backdrop for an RV camping adventure. Campers wake to views of surrounding peaks and spend their days exploring one of Colorado's most geologically interesting areas. The valley floor itself is relatively gentle terrain, making it accessible for RV travelers of various experience levels. The natural hot springs are the primary draw here, offering visitors the chance to soak in warm mineral-rich waters surrounded by Colorado's high country landscape.
Beyond the springs themselves, the location provides excellent access to outdoor activities throughout the year. The San Luis Valley is known for its outdoor recreation, from hiking and fishing to wildlife viewing and photography. The area has a genuine mountain community feel, with small towns nearby offering basic services and local character. Stargazing is exceptional in this region due to the elevation and relatively low light pollution, making evenings at the campground particularly special.
This destination appeals to travelers seeking a more relaxed pace and natural attractions over developed amenities. It's ideal for those interested in wellness experiences, outdoor enthusiasts who want a base camp for exploring the valley, and visitors looking to escape into Colorado's high country without the crowds of major resort areas. The relatively undeveloped nature of the area means you're camping in a more authentic, rustic setting. The combination of hot springs, mountain scenery, and peaceful valley surroundings creates a restorative experience that keeps visitors returning year after year. With its strong 4.7-star rating from hundreds of guests, Valley View Hot Springs clearly resonates with travelers seeking something special in their Colorado RV camping experience.

I'll address the elephant in the room since no one seems to want to in a review. Before I do that Valley View Hot Springs is an absolute gem tucked away in a beautiful, scenic location. It's truly a breathtaking place, and for the experience you get, the price is incredibly reasonable. The variety of pools, each with its own unique temperature and mineral content, is not only wonderfully relaxing... I'll address the elephant in the room since no one seems to want to in a review. Before I do that Valley View Hot Springs is an absolute gem tucked away in a beautiful, scenic location. It's truly a breathtaking place, and for the experience you get, the price is incredibly reasonable. The variety of pools, each with its own unique temperature and mineral content, is not only wonderfully relaxing but also feels great for your body. Now, that elephant in the room thing or maybe if your not an elephant. Yes, people are naked, but it's a completely natural and chill environment. Honestly, no one cares and everyone is there to enjoy the springs. On my first visit, I decided to go nude, but my husband was a bit shy and kept his suit on. It wasn't long before he realized that people of all shapes and sizes (and yes, I'm talking about that appendage) were there, and it was "naked time" for him. It's so much more relaxing and freeing to enjoy the pools without the barrier of a swimsuit. You'll quickly forget about it and just enjoy the wonderful experience. Oh and for the record I saw no elephants.

Have only RV camped and the sites are terrific. Just stunning Colorado mountainside natural beauty. So close to the Milky Way at night it feels like you could touch it. Multiple hot springs with natural rock lined pools. Spring fed swimming pool with zero chlorine. Bottom line: our favorite place on Earth.

Great, clothing optional hot springs in natural settings with several temperatures. This is not the typical swimming pool with hot water, although they have that too, but actually beautiful settings in the ground that you just go sit in. Some are way up the mountain and have an incredible view.

It’s a great getaway the hosts were nice and answered questions without any problems So relaxing in the apple pools and a nice hike to the top pools to get my day started. Was a little lost getting around at first but other guests that were more familiar were more than willing to show the way to the locations. Hope to spend some time in the day to become more familiar with the property. But...

Amazing little natural get away. Do not come if setting your phone down and disconnecting are stressful for you. If that sounds like what the doc ordered, though, you'd be hard pressed to find a more naturally beautiful hot springs with WOW views
