Belknap Hot Springs, Lodge and Gardens.

Great place to get away from it all. We stayed in room #9, very small but clean. A few aspects could use some updating. Soaking pools are warm and relaxing, can be a little crowded up to 6pm. Day users have to vacate at 6pm. Good walking trails and a unique water garden area. A homemade breakfast made for a good start to the day. Next time we come back we'll opt for a cabin.

Rated 4 stars due to the quality of the facilities. We stayed in an RV spot so while we didn't see the interior of the rooms that many complain about, we did see the condition of the upper restrooms/showers and they were similar to what people describe. Glad we had an RV. Regarding the pools themselves, they were nicely maintained and what you would expect from a mineral rich water source. The property is great, we hiked some of the trails and had fun watching the river from the bridge. Will visit again, but will likely stick to our RV...

We stayed in RV, pros: pretty location, hiking and sightseeing nearby, the staff were very nice, food truck was slow but worth it, good food! Cons: was really disappointed in the lack of decent bathroom facilities, not private, and only two total stalls for the entire campground one for each sex in the main building and 1 for each in the only outside facility. For that size campsite that is pretty sad. The site looked very rundown, like it hadn't had decent landscaping in years. Real shame. Would be nice if they put a little effort into cleaning up the site. It appears owners are doing the barest minimum to maximize profit. We won't be back.

Dear Resort Administration, I wanted to share my experience and offer a few suggestions to enhance guest comfort and safety. 1. Chlorine Levels: The pools are well-maintained at around 104°F; however, the chlorine levels seem quite high (around 1300 ppm), which creates a strong odor and can cause skin irritation. Consider switching to a saltwater chlorination system, which may be gentler for guests. 2. Upper Pool Cleanliness: There is noticeable dirt on the floor of the upper pool. A more frequent cleaning schedule could help keep it pristine. 3. Hilltop Bathrooms: The bathrooms located up the hill are showing signs of age, with some fixtures broken. Updating these facilities would greatly improve guest experience. 4. Hot Water Warning: It would be helpful to have a clear sign near the pool where the hot water enters. This would help prevent burns, especially for young children. The location and gardens are beautiful, and we appreciated the friendly staff. These changes would make an already lovely experience even better.

I have been coming to this place since I was a teenager. Back then it was a sleepy little low profile place. Now a days it's kind of a stuffy location that has put on heirs a bit, but only to those of us who remember their more humble days. Regardless, it is a very beautiful place. There are a variety of lodgings from outrageous to affordable. I usually get a tent camp spot. Two different pools available pumping piping hot mineral rich 105° water for your soaking enjoyment. The grounds includes a botanical garden and a secret garden adorned with water features and an almost Romanesque feel. There are also hour passes available for the lower pool with changing areas and a museum in the main lodge. I little out of the way and slightly hoity toity, but definitely worth a look or soak.9/10

NOT QUIET!! hubby & I drove 3 hours into the forest for peace & quiet. Room is described as "over looks the river"...um no it directly over looks the pool so when you open the curtains people stare, the river is in the background. Our toilet was broke which they did fix. No heat control as the knobs are rotted out (yes checked with front desk & maintenance). If it's too hot, turn on a/c, if it's cold...then it's cold, bundle up. Kids running up & down halls, the pools & lobby are cram packed with people. We asked for fresh towels & many hours later had to ask again. Oh & even though we paid for a room in the lodge, parking is NOT guaranteed. When we asked where to park it was "wherever you can find a spot", which happened to be up the hill in over flow parking so by the time you get back to your room, you're soaked. Would not recommend this place or ever return.

This was a great experience. I rented a cabin which was equipped for 2-4 people. The rooms were super clean and convenient to all that was offered. The gardens were at their peak, and the many trails surrounding and a part of this complex were well maintained. The front desk was always manned by folks who served you with a smile. Right on the McKenzie river made this a peaceful and serene spot to visit. The 2 soaking pools were never crowded when I was there Sunday through Tuesday. Spectacular flower gardens were everywhere. I don't know how they did it.

This is always a fun trip! Meet new people,walking in the wild. Morning breakfast is fun to sit relax talk and plan the day. The staff is nice, rooms are clean. The Hot pool is awesome feels wonderful when it's cold. The prices on cabins is very reasonable. Lots of trails to walk or bike, animal friendly some rooms no pets. Book your next adventure there I think you will have a great time.
