Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs

This experience was awesome and memorable! The facility is set in a remote natural environment which creates a unique ambiance. The pools are a range of temperatures, and there are two large cold plunge pools as well! I recommend asking staff for details about which pools are warmer or colder so you know your way around. We were there at a peak time (Saturday night) and while it was crowded, we still had fun and there was space in all but the two smallest pools. Bear in mind that you change in a small heated changing cabin and then bring your belongings down to the poolside once you're ready. There are NO lockers available, you just place your bag down on a chair - just FYI but I haven't heard about theft being an issue. After dark it's a totally different experience! It is SO, SO dark which allows you to see the stars but also makes it very, very tough to find your way around - so again, try to ask for guidance before going down. Clothing is optional so a handful of people may be nude, but at the same time it's so dark you hardly notice. No photography or shining flashlights into the pools at nighttime. The drive is a little sketchy so make sure you're up for it, otherwise use a private your company. Just review the other information and rules they list online. Bring a towel, water, and a plastic bag for your change of clothes. Totally worth it!

This place is an absolute must-visit! It was my first time here, and I was truly impressed by the stunning natural beauty and the unique combination of hot and cold water experiences. The scenery is breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoyment. However, if you’re planning to visit during winter, be prepared—the road leading to the spring is quite steep and can be challenging to navigate. It’s highly recommended to have a well-equipped vehicle suitable for winter conditions. The entrance fee is $20 per person, but if you prefer a hassle-free experience, you can opt for the shuttle service, which costs $50 per person and includes the entrance fee. This option is definitely worth considering, especially if you’re not comfortable driving in snowy or icy conditions. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and refreshing outdoor experience. Whether you’re soaking in the hot springs or enjoying the surrounding nature, it’s a visit you won’t regret!

This place is definitely a must visit. You need a good car to get up the hills and into the lot. Bring good shoes to wear to hike down to the springs. Once at the springs you should bring your own towel and belongings. There are different hot and cold pools to walk around and dip in and out of. If you are there late bring a head lamp because it gets dark.

If I could describe this place in one word it would be magical. This place is so beautiful especially in the winter time and at night. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, in my opinion it is the best hot springs in Colorado. There are so many options for different pools and temperatures. One thing I really love is they are natural hot spring pools, it just feels that more special. The staff runs this place so well, they are absolutely fantastic! We spoke with Ross and he was so helpful😊 10/10 experience every time we go!

My husband and I had been eagerly anticipating our visit to Strawberry Hot Springs to celebrate our one-year anniversary. We’re not ones to leave reviews, but unfortunately, we felt the need to share our experience. Upon arriving, we were caught off guard by an interaction with a “security guard” that COMPLETELY soured our visit. We were unaware of the policy about not leaving dogs in the car, even with a climate-controlled system, which we thought would be fine. If we’d known, we would have left them at the dog-friendly Airbnb we were staying at. The security guard approached us very aggressively, and from the moment he saw us, he seemed determined to escalate the situation. He made my husband feel degraded, telling him that he was breaking "multiple rules" and that the cops would be upset because our dogs were in the car and had see my husband take a sip of a Coors Light can (which he drank hours earlier while skiing) only to ensure it wasn’t going to leak into the garbage bag. We were WELL aware of the no alcohol rule. My husband was NOT intoxicated at all and was very calm and respectful throughout the exchange, but the security guard didn’t let up. He even went to the car next to us and made comments to the woman there, suggesting she should avoid getting on the road with us and again repeating that my was husband was “intoxicated” making her visibly uncomfortable. She clearly did not want to be involved and clearly could tell she thought he was far over the line. We were respectful, ready to leave, and simply wanted to enjoy the experience, but this interaction really ruined the vibe. The next day, we returned, and without the same security guard (thank god) and everything was much more pleasant. We also noticed at least three other cars with dogs in them and people drinking in the parking lot, and even by the springs, which was frustrating given how aggressively we were treated the day before. While the springs themselves were beautiful, the experience was tarnished by this unprofessional encounter, and it’s hard to ignore that. We hope they address the behavior of their security staff because it was such a shame to let that overshadow what should have been a special anniversary celebration at a beautiful and relaxing place.

We stayed in Denver and for us it's far. But when you get there it's all worth it. The management just need to maintain the road since it's really slippery by walking and cars got a collision on our way out. Thank God we didn't got involved ever our car slipped too. But overall it was a nice experience and it's very cheap too 🙏🙌

A must see if you are visiting Colorado. I have checked out/visited several of the commercialized hot springs in Colorado. This one is by far the best. The attendant wasn’t very informative, he didn’t even check for our reservation but I would still make one online. Spots book up fast so book way in advance if you are coming on a Saturday. The largest pool at the bottom is a dip pool, it’s the coldest. Several different pools for you to sit in that are hot/warm. Different fountains & steam falls are exhibited at various spots. Serene and calm, not a place for kids. Gorgeous sunset views. There is a changing room located at the top with a fireplace. Being your own towels and flip flops. Clothes off at dark, couples start getting too touchy after sunset. $20 cash per person, no card.

Wow. Can I just review the shuttle ride there. It was an adventure in itself! What skill from our driver to navigate the snowy slopes and roads. The springs were a fantastic treat after 2 full days of skiing! My muscles and muscles relaxed and then tightened and then I got not sore anymore. Can you believe it’s not magic. Some say Iowa is heaven. However I think strawberry park is heaven.

Honestly, this is the best natural hot spring that I've ever visited. I've frequented a few in Mammoth and those do not compare at all. Loved how big this one was and the temperatures of them that were available were very nice. There is a cold plunge, a hot one and a lukewarm one available, along with some smaller ones here and there. Costs $20 for access and there's some chairs available to put your items on. Parking is limited, I'd recommend coming during your reservation time to ensure parking to be available. Vibes were so nice and it was a cool experience to do this during sub zero weather/ while it was snowing. I'd definitely come back to this hot spring when I'm back in Steamboat!! Truly a one of a kind experience. *the only con would be the fact that the drive to the location is a bit treacherous, especially if it just snowed...the roads can be completely covered and be considered "off roading type" of roads, and borderline chain necessity...if you are confident with your mountain driving, that's the only thing that can get you up the hill to the location

Unfortunately, it was not worth the visit. My fiance, and I unfortunately had a pretty bad experience here. Started with the bus ride and our driver being quite rude to the overall group, saying comments such as you can take another shuttle from overhearing a conversation that was not related to them. My friend and got yelled upon entering because she brought a bag of chips and sandwich, they frightened her so much she's threw it away right away. I totally understand she shouldn't have brought them, but it's completely unnecessary to yell at her, she obviously wasn't trying to do anything intentionally wrong. Overall the service is insanely RUDE, HOSTILE, and AGRESSIVE! Upon leaving my friend was walking towards us near the front entrance, and the guy at the window stopped her, and said "hey you where are you going" in a very hostile manner. She was covered in a towel and essentially stopped right in front of that entrance to wait for us, the approach overall is so insane. it made me soo uncomfortable** to be here. I feel like everyone was insanely aggressive and hostile for no reason. I don't know if they're feeling underpaid but this is such harsh service that does not create returning customers. We go to Steamboat twice a year and always go to the hot springs, this is the first time I've had such a bad experience. I'm not sure if they're Under New Management or their employees are just rude. But highly encourage there to be a reset with how the staff interact with customers.

This is an all natural hotsprings located on a hill close to the quaint town of Steam boat.. It's swvwral miles from thr town itself up a narrow mountain pass type road...(just mud and snow) There is a parking lot and a short walk to check in and pay then a walk down a 2 muddy snow covered hills...This is where thr changing rooms and bathrooms are......proceeding down a flight of stairs across a bridge and down to a place with loungers and seats and all outside (no roof or shelter)...is the first biggest and hottest hot springs pool....its all natural so you will be walking barefoot or rocks and gravel (nothing sharp all smooth or manageable) ...next to this pool is a less hotter and somewhat smaller pool and next to this is a cool water pool. This place is super cool and probably existed since way back when.....A cool place to chill when its zerp degrees out and worth thr $20 per person admission....and don't forget to. Bring your own water...their water fountain doesn't work and their is no place to obtain any...

My friend and I we came here because, I've always wanted to try a hot spring from watching Anime. $20 bucks gets you access, not too much parking. There's a changing room and rest rooms as well. We brought our robes and towels from the hotel. At first I tried the warm pool then I switched to the hot pool and it was perfect. There's also a cold pool and 3 other pools that's more private. Very relaxing. The scenery is beautiful and breathtaking from the drive up to the spring itself. The night shot was everything. I would definitely recommend when visiting steamboat, it's a must.

Strawberry Park Hot Springs was one our trip highlights for sure! Up in the mountain tops is where you can find the springs. Booking online was easy, and we made sure we had cash when we checked in for our reservation. The changing area/restrooms are tiny, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit to make it easy. Don't forget to bring a towel (like I did!). On a Sunday afternoon in October, it was busy but not overly crowded at all. There are multiple spring ranging in temperatures. On a chilly day, it was the perfect activity. We bounced around to the different temperatures, and even tried the cold plunge! The scenery is just gorgeous. We had so much fun relaxing in the springs and in nature. Highly recommend checking Strawberry Park Hot Springs if you're in Steamboat!

Two hot pools, one cold plunge and two bath water ones. It's a big hot springs so busier then others I've been to... I like to meditate in the hot springs couldn't do that at this one. The kid who checked us in was awesome! The views though, WOW!!!! We went in first part of October and the colors were crag beautiful.

This place is one of my most favorites in North Americas in winter! Its breathtakingly gorgeous, we were staying in the town and decided to take one Day and visit this hot spring and I just fell in love. Definitely worth the drive, it's pretty clean and the view is just amazing. I'd have loved to see some rooms to change for people who were not staying at the cabins.

A must go if you're in Steamboat! Make sure you are able to make a reservation online, it doesn't cost any money to make a reservation. The drive up was bad but not terrible. With the weather, there were many many pot holes. I would advise an AWD car with some clearance. The entrance is $20/person cash only. Make sure you bring your own towel, change of clothes if you want, and water! You will get very dehydrated in the hot springs! The hot springs has different levels of pools which was super cool. From what I heard the coldest pool is around 30 degrees. I stayed in the nice hot one. It was nice that there were rock seats along the edge so you didn't have to stand the entire time. The views are spectacular as you can see the water flowing down the river with snow all around you. I would recommend this to anyone who comes to steamboat!

You can make a reservation online for free just to save your spot. Then, when you get there, it's $20 per person. They say you have a 2 hr time frame, but it doesn't seem like anyone is keeping track. They have multiple spots and pools with varying temperatures. There's also some spots that's scalding hot. The water on the surface looks clean. But there's a lot of algae in the water as well as some of the surfaces are extremely slippery from the algae. It's right next to the Hot Spring Creek River, which is very cold. So it's quite a shock to the system when you jump into the cold water. But it's definitely cold and refreshing. There's a stone hut where you can place your clothes and belongings. But there's also multiple wooden chairs and recliners you can sit at and enjoy the sun (if it's out). There's also a changing hut that I hear smells musty, with carpeting, which definitely doesn't help. This place is pretty big. So even though it gets crowded, there's enough space for people to hang out at. But it seems as though the later in the afternoon, the fewer people there are, which is nice. The upper hot springs were closed off. But if you go pass the bridge at the bottom, there are a few small picnic tables and bbq pits areas, which is pretty cool. The warm water is definitely good for any sore muscles you may have. Signage around here, especially when you pull into the parking lot, can be quite confusing, as there's multiple areas you can go into. But find the little truck shack, and that's the entrance into the hotsprings. I definitely enjoyed my time here. It would be better if they cleaned the surfaces and cut down on the algae. It's hard to see where the rocks are. So you can potentially kick some of them. Which hurts a lot and you definitely can get a couple of cuts and scrapes on your legs. But it's definitely relaxing, and I had a great time here.

It was a lovely experience. We took the shuttle up for a nighttime visit. I'd like to go back during the daytime just to see the scenery better. It is gorgeous at night!!! The shuttle driver was friendly and knowledgeable.

I loved my time at Strawberry Hot Springs! Their reservation system is easy but make sure to book early if you are going at a busy time. They offer times every 2 hours but I found we only needed about an hour. The staff at the entry were not particularly friendly but the other guests in the pools were. They have bathrooms and changing rooms as well. I believe you can bring in water which I recommend since the hot springs can dehydrate you.

I'd give the hot springs 4 stars. They are beautifully situated and well worth the rough dirt road to get there. I'm rating it 2 stars today because the attendant in the pay booth outright tried to rip us off today. He thought we were tourists from Europe and tried to charge us $30 entry instead of the $20 it costs. Then he tried to short change us and take a $3 tip without asking. If the owner reads this, the thief is a male and was working Sunday May 7th at 2 PM. This man is a serious detriment to your beautiful place.

I hope letter finds you well. I am to express my serious concerns regarding recent experiences I have had while visiting. On multiple occasions, I observed and personally experienced staff members harassing patrons in a manner that has caused significant distress resulting in panic attacks. Staff should not become physically aggressive to customers for any reason. Specifically, there were instances where staff followed us off of the premises, making threatening comments that contributed to feelings of panic and anxiety among guests. This behavior is not only inappropriate but also illegal harassment, and it creates an unsafe environment for customers. The attack felt very personalized as homophobia. It is vital for any establishment, to ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere. I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue and improve staff training to prevent such behavior in the future. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I hope to see positive changes implemented so that all patrons can feel safe and respected during their visits. The police have been notified and this instance has been documented. I urge those looking to come here to reconsider. This is not a safe environment.

Always a super relaxing time !!! The hot springs are so beautiful and you can pick how hot you want to be . Will definitely be back

Love going here and have been coming here for 20 years and bringing our family who visit us because that's how awesome this place is. Today we had 15 people drive 3 hours to come in the mts. to Steamboats. Strawberry Park charged my niece $20 for her 2 month old baby! Are you kidding me!! He never put his toes in the water at all obviously! How ridiculous!

As a local of 10 years, I thought it was pretty lame they took away season pass'. Since covid, you have to make a reservation before going and it's nonsense. . Some flex for the locals would be so cool on the hot springs end. Love you guys, but I've been boycotting and will continue to.

Hot springs no odor friendly people working there . The road do get there is sketchy during snow season.

Note: $20/ person and Cash Only! Now for the other stuff...I loved Strawberry Par,k Hot Springs. Super cozy and tucked away with no cell service which I loved. We went in the summer and it wasn't too busy or noisy. I loved that they have access to dip in the river to cool off between some of the hotter springs and that the largest pool was a super comfortable temperature (not too hot). A lot of the pools have super slick rocks at the bottom and I wish I would have brought sandals to wear into the pools. I'm sure these hot springs are even more incredible in fall/winter but the summer visit was still super pleasant and the lack of crowds was refreshing.

Best bang for your buck in Colorado. Clean. Great planning. Surrounded by nature. We had the small cabin. Barebones but perfect. The sky at night? Should be an official Star Park. Really special

We came on an evening around sunset. The drive up here is beautiful. The door guy was rude. The place was packed. It got really dark and you kinda have to feel your way around. First it was pleasant to relax and enjoy the baths. But what disgusted me is people having sex. Apparently the smaller upper hot pools are what this place is for. I won't be back after seeing that's what's going on here. The bathrooms are far up the hill so I doubt many will make the effort to make the walk especially in the pitch dark. You basically park, pay cash only and walk in. Don't bring valuables because it's so dark you have to be lucky to even find your shoes back.

Horrible experience. The hot springs was nice but being verbally assaulted by an employee ruined all the calm we had experienced. We were changing our clothes in our van in the parking lot after our evening soak. Someone who did not identify himself came in with his truck way too close as if he was going to run into us and started yelling that we needed to leave. I hadn't looked a clock in hours. It's very dark at the springs and I don't see well at night so it took us a wile to get back to the car even though we happily left when they did the sweep at 10. He then started honking his horn and flashing his brights while hurling personal insults at the top of his lungs. I was genuinely feeling as if he was going to physically attack me. He made comments about our "sh*tty van" and that we should "drink somewhere else". I am a 45 year old female business owner and my partner is a 39 YO disable vet with PTSD. Our drinking in the van days our long past and nothing and I mean NOTHING warrants that kind of unhinged behavior. We were simply changing out of our wet clothes in a relaxed manner as should be welcomed and expected after a hot soak. This behavior was shocking, cruel, uncalled for and triggered my partner into panic attack which was exacerbated by the fact that the miserable human followed us out the lot and all the way to Steamboat and would not pass us when we pulled over to let him by. We were both shaking, extremely upset and feeling unsafe. This is not what we were expecting and it really put a fracture in a beautiful week in Colorado. After reading similar reviews I am concerned contacting the business might not even be helpful. I am appalled that someone like this can exist working with the public sector. This is beyond unprofessional and crosses into the category of assault. Don't support this business! Get this man to anger management classes.

Title: Disappointing First Experience at Strawberry Park Hot Springs My recent visit to Strawberry Park Hot Springs left me deeply disappointed, primarily due to the unprofessional and disrespectful behavior exhibited by the staff. Despite making reservations and arriving well within the park's operating hours, my friend and I were greeted by an individual on a cart who was unnecessarily rude from the onset. Upon our arrival at 8pm, two hours before the park's closing time, we were immediately met with hostility. Despite confirming our reservations, the staff member deemed us "late," which seemed arbitrary given the ample time left before closing. Additionally, the staff member went as far as to make unfounded and unlawful claims about our service animals, insisting that they couldn't remain in our motorhomes, despite clear legal protections in place for such situations. When we rightfully asserted our rights regarding our service animals, the staff member abruptly declared the park closed and drove off without any attempt at resolution or explanation. Furthermore, when I requested to speak with a manager to address the situation, I was met with further disrespect as the individual claimed to be the manager themselves. Such behavior is utterly unacceptable in any establishment, let alone one that prides itself on hospitality and relaxation. As a result of this appalling encounter, I have no intention of returning to Strawberry Park Hot Springs and will seek out alternative hot spring destinations for future visits. It is my hope that this review serves as a cautionary tale for others considering a visit to this establishment.

Have staff that treat visitors like somebody they at least have the minimum amount of respect and not treat them like vermin. They very obviously look at visitors as crap they can't avoid. People are much better off using the Hot Springs in town. Yes, they are not as spectacular but at least you don't need to feel like you are hated just for being their guest. After arrival, right after paying my $20.- fee and changing clothes I saw that my kid who lives in Europe had an emergency and tried to reach me. Well, there is no reception in the facility so I left, drove where I had reception, was finally able to reach my kid and help him solve what was at hand. When I got back 30min into our reserved slot they wanted to charge me another $20.- dollars and treated me like somebody who had broken all the rules even though I had explained it all to them.

Nice hot springs fed pools in natural surroundings. Has changing cabin, massages, restrooms, easy parking. 30 mph drive 5 miles outside of Steamboat. Read website to make reservations.20$ cash only.

Came after dark and had a great time. Everyone is respectful and keeps distance since it is clothing optional at this time. There were a few different temperatures but we tried the three main springs and had a great time. No issues with keeping our stuff on the hill nearby and using the dressing room. Nice location and great experience overall!

Absolutely breathtaking!! From the scenery to the soak in the springs. A natural body healer with the minerals makes you feel cleansed in your mind, body, and spirit. I recommend bringing slippers and possibly a robe for when you get out to change.

Horrible staff. They do not know how to talk to customers. I'm not sure how they are running this business with such an unprofessional staff. We ended up going to Old Town Hot springs where the staff was so accommodating and respectful. Would never ever come to this place nor recommend to anyone

Amazing super relaxing place We be back Take your family Go and get away from The coty

Wow wow wow wow wow! This place was beautiful! I'm not a huge skier and so when my family wanted to come for a ski trip, I knew I wanted to find other activities to do that I would enjoy. I have done a ton of excursions over the years and I know I can be very critical, but this was beyond amazing! The scenery was amazing and the experience was just as great! I didn't really interact with any employees except the shuttle service so I can't speak to that, but I can tell you it's a once in a lifetime experience (unless you live near there). They have a few different "pools" that are different temperatures. How it works is the hot water comes in at 150° through a little stream and then poor into the main pool, then they have a little door that will let in water from the ice cold lake right next to it to cool down the water (around 105-110°). Then the water from this pool filters into a couple other pools that are cooler. You can also swim in the ice cold pools that are used to cool down the water. A lot of people would go into the ice pool and bring back huge sheets of ice. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) there are rocks on the ground outside the pool so I recommend bringing flip flops and leaving them outside the pool to wear in between pools. 2) they have a little shop where you can buy water, towels, and snacks, but you can't eat in the pools. 3) they don't have lockers, but they have chairs by the spring that you can put stuff on 4) they have a changing room, but it's small or you may want to wear your swimsuit 5) there are bathrooms on site but it's a bit of a walk 6) you may think you can Uber there, but you can't. If you don't have a car that can handle tough terrain, take the shuttle they provide

Hands down my favorite hot spring that I've ever been to & I've been to a lot! The biggest pool is the hottest, the one next door a bit cooler, and there's river access for all those extreme folks that want to take a freezing dip! I tried but it was too painful. Even though it's popular, it didn't feel crowded because it's so big! It was such a relaxing experience and absolutely beautiful. There is a cute changing cabin and a little truck where you go to pay admission. Definitely pricey..$20/person and they charge for towels. I think it's worth it though! It's very well maintained. You have to reserve a spot online (2hour slots). As of 4/3 the road up was dry and snow tires were not needed.

I have come here a handful of times for the past 20 years. Each time, I leave full of joy! Nature is healing and this place does it. I have come in June and in October months and my favorite is def in the Winter! Less people and there is something about being in the hot springs while it is snowing that makes it so much better. The man at the ticket booth (didn't get his name) was very kind and accommodating! Just an FYI, they only accept cash ($20) and there is no atm there. Unfortunately we forgot our cash and had to drive back down to hotel to get it -- but we remained positive and still had a great time! (I brought my 8 year old and this is what he had to say for this review: It was so fun, the cold pool was so relaxing. The first pool is really hot. The second pool is very warm. I would say to go to the cold pool last, because that is what I did. Have fun and be safe! In Jesus' name, amen. )

*Reservation required and cash only* Each reservation is 2 hours and $20 per person. Bring your own towel if you don't want to buy one for $5 there. My friend took a group of us here to enjoy the hot springs. There are a number of pools varying in temperature. At the bottom of the pools, it was mostly gravel and some large rocks. Some of the pools had algae at the bottom so be careful of slipping. It was a fun way to unwind at the end of the day.

I enjoyed myself here and was never harassed or treated rudely. When I went clothing was optional after 9 pm and anyone under 18 had to leave. That was pretty groovy but there were a few young guys around 18-19 trying to get a look at the nudity around them. Didn't bother me none but a few others didn't like it. lol. Leave by 9 if you're prudish.

Zero stars for rudeness of the manager. We had reservations, arrived at 8:30. "Dick" the alleged manager drives up to us. Starts saying we're late, they close at 10pm. Then he proceeds to say we can't leave a dog in our RV, "unattended!" This gut was the farthest thing from professional or customer service! Won't be going back! This guy has a HUGE chip on his shoulder that someone WILL surely knock off! Thanks for nothing DICK!​​

I've been hesitating for a long time to write this review because I don't want this place to be discovered yet, but I guess it's time... I started coming here when I was 8 years old and it was simply rock pools that people had just built themselves, no entry fee, no cabins, nothing around, clothing optional :-| Now they have built it up but it's still an amazing place. They have 5 or 6 different pools with different temperatures of water, all of which comes straight from the mountain. The most unique one is one where you can actually be in the river yet it's still quite warm because of the spring water mixing with it. Absolutely gorgeous place surrounded by aspen trees in the mountains, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere 20 minutes from Steamboat downtown. Definitely a great spot and I hope everyone enjoys the natural beauty and relaxation that this place brings me every time!

~MUST MUST MUST~ visit this place if your on vacation in Steamboat springs, Colorado! It's was in the month of December during the winter! Book this adventure through the timeshare we were staying at. Everything went actually how it was explained. A shuttle bus came to pick us up right at the front office. The shuttle ride was great! The views were amazing and the driver was nice! When we got there we just gave them our information and they directed us to where we needed to go and let us know what time to be back up at the main office to catch our shuttle back. The actual springs were amazing. It was snowing heavily all around but the waters were like a jacuzzi. Me my wife and our friends had an. Amazing relaxing time! I will never forget this experience! I

A few must-knows before you go: - reservations are required during COVID - they're hard to come by since the springs are at half capacity - cash or check only and you can't pay ahead / no ATMs on-site - not really any changing rooms and no towels provided I had heard horror stories about pre-COVID times when they packed a ton of people in. Our experience was much better at limited capacity! Once you're in, there are multiple different springs tubs to soak in, from super-hot (106) to cool spring water and everything in between. It felt very clean and relaxing. There are tons of chairs around to set your stuff down and lounge. We went in the summer so it was pretty warm. There are spa/massages services onsite too but we didn't give those a try. There is a small snack bar where you check in at the top but I'd recommend bringing what you want. The time slot is for 2 hours but they weren't enforcing it. We were tubbed out after 2 hours so headed out then. Legend has it that clothing is optional after dark ;)

How you can give less than 5 stars is beyond me. The hot spring is tucked away at the peak of Hot Spring Creek without wifi and no cell signal so if you have phone anxiety this might not be for you. Location: about 20 min drive from Steamboat the last 2 miles is dirt road and very steep grade. Sign said snow tires required after November 1st or first snowfall. Reservation: lodging is booked out months in advance and day use hot springs you have to book online for 2 hour window time slots. Price is $20 per person cash only! Upper bath area is hotter than lower so choose your temperature. The day I went was 50 degrees with sunshine so it was perfect. Without sun, you might want to pack extra clothes. No this is not the ritz Carlton and they don't have private enclosed spa rooms. They do have restroom facility and they do sell water at the entrance. Friendly staff, will be back many more times.

The strawberry park hot springs is a must on your trip to Steamboat Springs! We loved it!

This place is beautiful! I enjoyed my visit here. Make sure to reserve online and cash only is what we were told. The rock is very slick and slippery bring water shoes.

I echo what several other reviews say about the staff and logistics here. Getting my reservation for one person on a weekday turned out to be a total headache. I originally had a reservation for 2 people, and then emailed them the night before to reduce the existing reservation to 1 person. I got a reply saying my reservation for 2 had been totally cancelled. It was a bit of a train wreck trying to get my original reservation time for one person back; I kept being told I needed to rebook for 1 and that the staff could not help me, but the online reservations were sold out. Eventually, I was able to get another reservation on my own and admittedly showed up to my reservation a bit grumpy and prepared to be irritated. My day-of experience was completely fine; the woman working when I arrived was incredibly nice and helpful. The grounds were super clean and it was fun to check out the different temperature pools. I came on a 95 degree day so did not last in the hot springs for very long, but the atmosphere was really enjoyable and relaxing. The road (summer, daylight) was not bad at all, but I can see how it would get pretty daunting in the snow and/or the dark. I think it'd be really fun here on a cold day!

Please note this spot is CASH ONLY and you must arrive with cash in hand to pay for for your entrance. Venmo, card, or digital payment is not available. There are no ATMs once you drive approximately 20 minutes up a dirt road to the springs. We made the mistake of not having cash and had to rely on the kindness of a stranger to spot us a little cash. He was cool enough to trust us that we would a send Venmo payment later! Strawberry Hot Springs is really beautiful but remote. There is no cell phone service once you get up to the springs. There isn't a snack or drink bar and no alcohol is allowed. You're allowed to bring your own cooler and snacks. There are 5 different soaking pools that vary in temperature. We walked around to look at the campsites and they seemed cute! I took a peek at the covered wagon sites that come with a grill. It looked nice! Visiting was a good experience and I'll likely be back if I'm in Steamboat Springs!

I used to come here whenever I had a chance and now they mostly cater to tourists. The reservations are filled up weeks in advance from people that don't live here, no love for the locals. sellouts .....

I was so excited to come here but very disappointed to be greeted by such rude, condescending and racist staff. The older guy who works the front desk had no basic decency, and the female associate, Abby, was also very rude. The older guy gave us several different names when our family asked, which speaks for itself. I thanked the only nice staff member there, a young man with curly blonde hair, for being the only one who was helpful and kind to our party. I tried talking with Abby but when I pointed out the older man's racist behavior, she said "it's not going to change anything." So boldly hateful and unkind. Would not come here again. Go to Red Rock Spa, Oakwell Beer Spa, or Lake Steam in Denver for hot and cold baths. Don't give these people your money. The other businesses all have great reviews.

The parking attendent could not have been more rude. He obviously profiled our vehicle for whatever reason. We get it man, your heart is giving out, you keep stepping on your tits and you feel like life has failed you, even though you're clearly the failure. I imagine your parents visit the zoo each week to find and slap the stork that burdened them with you. The office employee was doing the best she could, having to deal with this sorry-@ss. I've lived close to the area and have been frequenting this beautiful place ten to fifteen times per year for more than a decade. It's unfortunate that subpar employees are allowed to stay around and ruin the experience for the rest of us. I certainly won't let this nobody prevent me from coming back and enjoying such a gem, but I will be sending this up the chain.

Incredibly rude staff 2/12/2024. We called to ask about last minute cancellations for cabins. The man speaking, rudely said "absolutely not!" And hung up. Completely unnecessary.

Never experienced such unreasonable treatment and Lack of Accountability in a business like this. We drove for 4 hours to reach this place and arrived feeling very hungry, we informed the staff that we wanted to grab something to eat and before starting the hot spring. The staff first said that we could pay upon our return. Then, I asked to use the bathroom, but was informed that there was a fee to enter. So I paid $40 in cash for two people, but no receipt was provided. The staff assured us that they would remember us and let us in when we returned. However, upon our return, we encountered a different staff member, and had to explained the situation to them. Unfortunately, this individual did not believe our story and refused to let us enter. I suggested that they contact the previous staff member for verification, but the staff member in glasses either declined or claimed to have left their phone behind. Suddenly, in an extremely rude manner, he stood up, leaned out the window, and yelled at me, saying, "Don't tell me what to do!!!!This is private property, and you need to leave!!!!!" This treatment made it seem as if we were attempting to sneak into the premises. At this point, I no longer wanted to proceed with the hot spring experience. I agreed to leave, but requested a refund for the $40 I had paid. However, this staff member adamantly refused to reimburse me and continued to yell at us, insisting that we leave. It is incredibly frustrating that they couldn't even find my payment record because everything was by cash and I never received a receipt. I wasted $40 and endured a grueling 4-hour drive, only to be met with an absolutely unreasonable situation. This experience was both ridiculous and terrible. I urge everyone to learn from my lesson and avoid visiting this place!!

The place is ok, but the staff members were absolutely RUDE from the beginning of checking in to leaving, which just ruins it from having a good experience. The website is very vague. They never answer the phone. They don't take credit card, only cash. The pools don't have much seating areas and the rocks are slippery with the slimy moss.

Beautiful hot springs but guy running the front was certifiably insane - I've never experienced such rude and disrespectful customer service. Based on past reviews seems others have had the same experience ... how is this guy still employed?
