Saratoga Spring
Out in the desert of Death Valley National Park, in San Bernardino County, Saratoga Spring runs warm and sits far from any town; Fort Irwin, the closest on file, is over thirty miles away. The water is warm, on the tepid side. The public may go, and Saratoga Spring Road comes within a few hundred feet. It sits very low, a couple hundred feet above sea level.
Near-sea-level desert within park boundaries, with scant rain, no snow worth mentioning and a warm average across the year. The road brings you close and the rest is on foot. It is Park Service land. Water chemistry on file shows a high dissolved solids reading, from a sample taken in 1967.
Winter, meaning December through February, is the time on record. No campground is listed for the area. The chemistry on file dates to 1967, so treat it as old information. No fee is listed. Entry is open, and the water is mild enough to be safe.
