Deep Creek Hike & Camping w/NitOC & Camping Bares

This will be a family event combined with NitOC, San Diego's Camping Bares and Inland Empire Nudist Club. All naturists are welcome.

Camping at the Hot Springs themselves is not permitted by San Bernardino National Forest regulations. If you camp on Friday, or join us on Saturday, we will hike down on Saturday morning and out around 5:00 p.m. to give us time to set up camp at the Deep Creek Campground.

Tent or small trailers or RVs are OK. There is now one pit toilet. The shower and water a five minute walk from the campsites often do not work so don't count on them. Make sure to bring all you need for dry camping.

The Deep Creek Hot Springs Campground charges $15 per person for overnight stays and $10 for day use only. The entire campground is clothing optional. Nudity is fine at the camping spots and on the trail down to the hot springs. This is a clothing optional event! You may pay online in advance a few days before the event at this website.

If you do not wish to camp but would like to join the group for the Saturday or Sunday hike feel free to do so. In this case you may want to park at the Bowen Ranch that charges only $5 per person for day use. You can see our campsite across the fence with razor wire on top. The hike down to the trail is moderate if you are in fair shape. It is 1.9 miles long with a 970 foot drop in elevation. That means up hill on the way back! There are only a couple of steeper sections (no rock climbing) and one area that is washed out and now there is a narrow trail over the top of it. It is not handicapped accessible!
