Campbell Hot Springs – Hot Springs Directory

California North

(renamed Sierra Hot Springs in 1989)

There seems to be some confusion between this and Sierra Hot Springs. They are listed as 2 separate places in the book “Great Hot Springs of the West” ’93, yet the descriptions and locations sound very familiar though PO box’s different. Anyone know the truth here?

outdoor hot swimming pools, indoor and outdoor hot tubs
clothing optional in bathing areas
fee $

notes: According to our readers “Actually Campbell HS is not used but owned by Sierra HS. Sierra has their own wells that feed to only hot tub opened in winter.” “Harbin bought it in like 1989 and named it Sierria hot springs…the spring comes out of the ground in 2 different places… where google map shows is where the one of the springs comes up by the main lodge and to the northwest on the hill about ¼ away the other spring comes up. Harbin also bought a hotel in the town Seirraville a few miles from the springs so one of the addresses might just be for the hotel.”
