The first time I visited Guadalupe Canyon Hot Spring in 2014 it was to climb the DPS peak Pico Risco. It was a rough trip and due to various factors we arrived at the camp around 2 am and managed to do just about everything wrong.
We didn't have a reservation and ended up stumbling around other people's camps until we found one that was unoccupied and and had a filled hot tub which we proceeded to soak in until almost 4 am, sleep a few hours, then did a brutal drive back to Orange County that same day.
Despite that it stood out as one of the most beautiful and memorable desert trips I've done and ever since I've wanted to come back when there was a little more time to enjoy the amenities. Which finally came about this weekend for New Years 2017
We made the plans late and I expected they'd be filled up considering the holiday. Sure enough the first query we made through http://www.guadalupecanyonoasis.com got a reply they'd been filled up for 3 months. However when we tried http://guadalupecanyonhotsprings.com we were told there was plenty of room and we proceeded to reserve the El Coyote pool for $100 for two nights.
