Fountain Of Youth RV Park

We stayed one night employed that greeted us was the owners grandson, very polite and accommodating. It’s an old park, family run. The sites are a little tight very manageable. 50 amp, water, and sewer. Needs updating but I understand the main attraction is the Hot Springs. Very relaxing my wife and I soaked in the pool in the evening no children, few people very enjoyable.
You get a little bit of road noise not bad at all. A train track is next to the property only heard one train in the morning.
I would definitely stay here again, if in the area. We would have stayed longer than one night if we had cell reception or the campground Wi-Fi worked.

The campground, itself, is a bit rough but okay for a night. The showers cost .25 / 2 minutes; the cell service is spotty as is the Wi-Fi. The laundry was closed (for repairs?).

I came in on a Sunday night in July and was able to get a spot. $30 with no hook ups.

Fairly noisy with road noise and an early morning train. All that said, I’d probably stay again for the soak in the pools.

This place is a nice weekend getaway. It has good water, power and sewer. The spaces are a little close but who cares because I don't plan on spending much time in the camper. OMG the pools are amazing. I love a nice warm pool and this has 2 of them. You need to wear swimming shoes because the cooler pool has moss. Not a big deal to me it's a natural spring. I also brought pool noodles to just float around. You can't have glass around the pools but you can have anything else. There are also showers, bathrooms and a laundry next to the pools. No to hardly any cell service, and the WiFi is on and off or slow. But then again I came to get away and relax so no cell service or WiFi doesn't bother me a bit. I deferentially will stay here again.

We decided to camp here based on the proximity to our trip to Teton National Park. When I called the park in January they took my reservation request with just a name. There was no deposit required at that time. A few weeks before our trip I received a call to verify that we would be coming as reserved which I confirmed. When we got to the park there was no record of our reservation. The park was crowded but I am not sure if it was the pandemic or the high gas prices, there were a few sites still available thankfully. This park is very old and the water and electric were also old. The sites were so close that I was not comfortable starting a fire in the pit provided. The hot spring pools were very nice...thankfully we both bought water shoes before we got there because the algae was plentiful. The showers and toilets were very poor and you had to pay for the showers. We found that most of the people that stay here were locals( within a couple of hours) from the area. The midnight train was VERY loud but we actually appreciate the train noise. We were glad we stayed here to be able to go into the pools but would not likely do this again.

I really enjoyed staying in this park. It's a bit old and in need of updating. As other have said, the sites are really tight. My 20' Rockwood Mini has a big slide, and careful and repeated positioning was necessary to avoid the picnic tables and other camper site. BUT, the management is really realIy nice. Make sure you state that you want full hookups - not all sites have sewer. I initially booked 2 nights, and liked it so much I booked 2 more. The hot springs there are wonderful. It's all open air, and at night you are under the sky with views of nearby buttes. Yes, there's a train track with active trains right next to the campground, so you will get trains occasionally. And there is Route 20 noise as well. But the soaks are worth it. All the other campers were really friendly too. Very poor Verizon and ATT. Their wifi was mostly ok but not the best. Overall, great place to stay.

We stayed here two nights in July, so the weather was really hot. We were thankful to be able to hook up to electricity and use our ac!

Pros:
We had a pull-through site.
We were escorted to our site and given helpful information for setting up.
Great location for visiting the area -- especially check out Legend Rock State Petroglyph Site and Wyoming Dinosaur Center.
Beautiful surroundings.
Thermal pool was very relaxing to head to in the evenings.
Water, electricity, and in-site dump worked great.
Small laundry facility, though we didn't use it.

Cons:
Air stank mildly-to-somewhat of sulphur, but that's to be expected with such a large thermal pool within the campground.
Thermal pool bottom was pretty dirty and slimy. Surface of water wasn't great either.
Sites were very close together.
Our site was red dirt, so if it had rained, it might have become pretty gummy, clumpy, or slick.

I'd read prior reviews before we reserved at this campground, so we brought lake shoes for use in the thermal pool. The trains either didn't come through very often or we were sleeping or we were off-site -- they weren't a bother to us. My husband had insisted he wanted to try this campground because of the thermal pool; I'm glad we did. We'd go back.

What a gem! This park has great power 50/30 amp sites with a front row seat to the Maytag Hot Spring, less than 1 mile from the State Park AND it has mineral pools fed by their hot spring on site. Come and just take a soak. The views of the red rocks is just gorgeous.

The campground doesn’t have reliable wifi and only one bar of cell service so plan to disconnect a bit and just rest and relax. Some people complain about train noise but I was never bothered. The trains aren’t whistling as the go through.

The sites don’t have a lot of space between them, but they are more spacious than the other two campgrounds in town. There are some trees on sites that make slides and maneuvering challenging, but vast majority of this sites are pull through.

The campground is in transition. The original owner passed and family members are keeping it now. It needs a little TLC, but still a wonderful place to stay.

We weren’t sure when we pulled in - there is nice grass in one area for walking dogs, but the areas in between the sites are less than great. However, the owners were great and gave us a very nice pull through site. We had a concrete pad for sitting (gravel for the site itself), a picnic table, a bbq grill and a fire pit. The best part of the park is the gigantic thermal pool! It is enormous and has different heat levels. I loved being able to go to it and. It have to go to the public pool at the state park. Due to where we were, our cell phones didn’t work well, but the WiFi was very good. There is a bit of highway noise and once in awhile a train went by behind the park, but neither bothered us. If someone is very sensitive to noise, that could be a negative.

We pulled in and was disappointed by the overall condition of the campground. We checked in and the lady at the desk was very nice and accommodating. We chatted and all was well, until my wife noticed there as no Verizon connectivity at all. I asked her about it and she said where our spot was at the far end of the park we might get some. However, there would be no WIFI down there as it was too far.

We went to our spot to check it out and pulled into a lot that was dirt and weeds and some gravel. As another reviewer mentioned, a weed wacker would make a world of difference!

Anyway, at our spot, we had 0 bars of Verizon and the WIFI would not even show up. Not going to work.

I went back to the office and chatted with the lady and explained our dilemma. We have to have connectivity as we both work online. She did offer to move us closer for the WIFI but that still did not help the cell phone issue.

I told her we were going to have to leave to find another place. She gave me some suggestions which were extremely helpful. I was prepared to forfeit one night out of two nights of fees. But she refunded both nights as she was confident she would fill out spot.

We were very disappointed as we were really looking forward to the hot springs pool! One other note, it sounds like they clean the pool every other Wednesday so the pool is closed. She did explain that to me when I made the reservation, so that was not a surprise and I was ok with it. Just be sure to ask when making a reservation, to be safe.

As another reviewer said, a little landscaping, maintenance and gravel would quickly solve the appearance issue. A beefed up WIFI system would solve the WIFI issue. With those two things we probably would have stayed at least one night.

At first glance, I was thinking, oh no! But, don’t judge a book by its cover.
Staff: Friendly
Appearance: needs improvement but has the potential of being the #1 RV spot in that area with some TLC to the sites. Fixing old water connections, mine was directly over the electrical box, yikes!
XFactor: the spacious hot spring pools is the main attraction and well worth it.
Recommendation: clean the sites, weedwack, update electrical and water connections.
