Keough's Hot Springs
At Keough's, visitors can enjoy the natural hot spring running through the campground. Man-made concrete pools pipe the water from the spring, allowing guests to soak after a hard day hiking in Kings Canyon National Park.
Standard hook-ups includes 30-amp electric, water, sewer, cable TV and Wi-Fi. On-site amenities include a small grocery store, guest house, barbecue grills and picnic area, hot showers and a laundry room. Kids can play in the dedicated play area.
The RV park and hot springs are open year-round, and reservations are recommended during holiday weekends and the summer season. Pets are welcome.
