Take a step back in time at this rustic, come-as-you-are, mineral hot springs camping resort in Arizona and feel the essence of tranquility wash over you. No really, the Essence of Tranquility in Safford is the name of this beyond-casual resort where you can camp, stay in a communal lodge, or rent a tiny, rustic casita for your stay. Pack up your best bathing suit and prepare for a relaxing, spa-like vacation.

From the moment you arrive at this eclectic abode, you'll realize there is nothing at all pretentious about the place. It's cozy, free-spirited, and quiet.

Unlike a lot of spa-type properties where everything is made to feel intimidatingly chic and luxurious, this Arizona hot springs resort has a much more comfortable feel to it.
The resort has six rustic, natural mineral spring hot tubs. All but one of them offer complete privacy and are clothing-optional.
TripAdvisor/Photo_traveller_AZ
This is another huge bonus. You don't have to share the hot spring with a huge crowd of people who have varying understandings of personal space.
Ranging from a small heart-shaped tub to tubs with a little more room to spread out, they're all unique and loaded with character and charm.
Essence of Tranquility
Whether you're there for a romantic getaway or a relaxing break to find yourself, there's a tub for everyone to enjoy.
Essence of Tranquility is more or less a casual campground. Private baths are offered at the bathhouse.

Five of the tubs, as we mentioned, are private which means it's just you and whoever you want with you. One of the tubs is communal; clothing is required in that one.
