Everyone should soak nude at the springs. Its actually better for the springs if they arent contaminated by laundry detergents because it causes algae and bacteria growth. And its actually more awkward for everyone when there are clothed bathers present than when everyone is nude. We've been there in both situations and the atmosphere is always much more relaxed when everyone is nude.by Wildman1234 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Not really. People tend to be fairly respectful of the place since its a mixed crowd.by Wildman1234 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
My GF and I have always freehiked to and from the springs. We usually leave our clothes at the car. We have only started from Bowen ranch and it is clothing optional from the ranch so we have never bothered covering up at the ranch or on the trail or at the springs. Most people we've come across either know its clothing optional or havent said anything. The springs are mixed textile and nude.by Wildman1234 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Weekdays are quieter especially with the never nude crowd. Otherwise deep creek is a great place to hike nude from Bowen to the hot springs.by Wildman1234 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
You wont have any trouble hiking in nude from Bowen Ranch. We have hiked in nude on every visit there.by Wildman1234 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
