Verde Hot Springs
The ruins of a once-famous resort on the Verde River, reached by a short hike upstream and some wading from the Childs dispersed camping area. The last 6 miles to Childs on FR 502 are very rough, and the Forest Service highly recommends high clearance. There is no fee, potable water or garbage service.
Castle Hot Springs
An adults-only, all-inclusive resort in the desert foothills northwest of Phoenix, reached by a 7-mile dirt road. Three natural-floored spring pools step down from the source at about 104-108°F, 98-102°F and 75-90°F, the last a 9-ft-deep swimming hole. The springs and spa are for registered overnight guests only, and swimwear is required.
El Dorado Hot Spring
A rustic soaking spot west of Phoenix in Tonopah with reservable private soaking areas and a communal, clothing-optional area called Desert Pete for guests 21 and over. Two studios with their own soaking areas and first-come primitive and electric campsites allow overnight stays. Phones are not allowed in the Desert Pete pool area.
