Bowen Ranch (See Deep Creek Hot Springs)

CA SouthCalifornia South

WARNING: There seems to be lots of confusion between Bowen Ranch and Deep Creek Hot Springs. My current understanding is that Bowen Ranch has no hot springs, but that it is a popular access point to Deep Creek Hot Springs.

According to one knowlegable sounding person name Mike (see comments for details)

Bowen Ranch is not a hot spring but rather a place for the public to safely park their vehicles and to camp overnight at. It is by far the best place to hike to the hot springs from. A small parking and/or camping fee is charged. There are very limited facilities there… My friend Michael Castro owns and manages Bowen Ranch… When Mr. Castro is not present, there are easy to follow directions posted on the front door of the historic and rustic structure. Day time parking is $4 per person. Overnight Camping fee is $5 per person. Campsites are on a first come first serve basis. Some sites have picnic tables. Very limited facilities on property… It is prohibited by the U. S. Forest Service to bring glass containers to the hot springs or into the Deep Creek drainage area. Also prohibited by USFS, is overnight camping and campfires at the hot springs.

If you post a comment, please clarify if you mean Bowen Ranch, or Deep Creek Hot Springs (via Bowen Ranch).
