Sam's Family Spa
Mineral District
An unfussy, family-run hot springs resort in Desert Hot Springs with a large outdoor mineral pool, several hotter soaking tubs, a sauna, motel rooms and a big RV park. The water comes straight from the hot aquifer and is not chemically treated. It is the affordable end of the mineral district - day-use rates are low, the crowd is a mix of long-stay RV regulars and day visitors, and nothing about it is polished.
Hours: Daily 8am-10pm. Prices are low. Best for cheap mineral soaking.
