Music by the pool, ducks, turtles, a little bit if everything. The staff dances around and you can't help but feel joyful here. A MUST for everyone! read less

Sam's is an RV park, mobile home park, and motel stuck in the 1970's all packed into one area encompassing the hot springs. We stayed in the motel and all I'll say is that it is definitely NO FRILLS. What I mean by that is the rooms are seriously dated. We stayed in room 1 which has a queen bed, but since kiddo came with us, we had to get a rollaway bed. There is one lamp on the rather tarnished night stand and a Rubbermaid table with two chairs. No comfy chairs or couches. FYI-You only get ONE bar of soap so you'll need to bring your own toiletries. Shampoo, location, etc., aren't provided. The walls are also very thin so bring earplugs.

From what I can tell, the entire motel is on the second floor of the main building in the Sam's complex so if you're traveling with people who have difficulty with stairs, you might want to stay somewhere else. Also, there aren't a lot of rooms.

The office and store are located on the first floor of the hotel which is where you also enter the spa area. Parking is free.

The spa area has a large pool, a smaller pool, and four hot spring pools that are at various temperatures. All thermal heated. The Mrs. and I went from one pool to the other in the span of almost three hours. It was seriously rejuvenating. The hot springs were very soothing on my dry skin. There is also a sauna if you want to bake for a bit after you swim. Towels are not provided so make sure you bring your own. Also, if you want to be bougee, bring a robe, but keep it classy.

Sam's is a family spa so if you're looking for peace and quiet, you're not going to get it. And because it is a family spa....bathing suits stay on.

The staff we encountered were nice. However; the guy who checked us in was a wreck. I felt bad for him. The two ladies that took over for him later on in the day had their stuff together.

So just a few reminders if you're a first time visitor to Sam's.

1. Bring your own towels for the hot springs.
2. Bring your own toiletries.
3. Bring a robe if you want to be bougee. read less

The pool and spa area is really the crown jewel here! A fantastic place to bring the family for a vacation. They have an excellent area to picnic near the pool, which is shady and very beautiful. Pool is warm and the upper pools are hot! They seem to be doing lots of upgrades so hoping cost won't reflect it next year. It's a bit out of town but a 10 minute E-bike ride. Lots of bike trails around if you're not looking for groomed paths. Overall for the price it's a deal. Don't forget to try the ice cream, a real treat. The little store in the office doesn't have much but lots of reasonable priced beverages. Traveling in RV and the sites are spacious, the cable can be dicey but overall, very comfortable, quiet park. read less
