Fees, hours, and seasonal access

Know which water experience you are choosing

The public spring water and heated baths are not the same temperature. Outdoor spring water is about 74.3°F; the Main Bathhouse's Roman bath and whirlpool are heated to about 102°F. Follow staff instructions for the booked service, and ask about its requirements before arrival.

Care for the small historic park

Do not damage buildings or remove park features. Dispose of waste in the proper receptacles, and do not feed wildlife. State park rules require permitted pets to remain leashed and restrained; check specific indoor service arrangements before bringing an animal.

Arrange a bathhouse appointment

Reservations are recommended for bathhouse services. Call 304-258-2711 for Main Bathhouse arrangements and confirm the service, charge, and arrival time. The official activities page distinguishes the bathhouses, public springs, seasonal pool, and museum.

Find the downtown springs

The park address is 2 S. Washington Street, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411. Use the downtown state park destination when planning your arrival, rather than treating a nearby resort or private spa as the same facility.

Nearby parks for a separate stop

Cacapon Resort State Park is another Berkeley Springs-area destination, at 818 Cacapon Lodge Drive. Fort Frederick State Park is across the state line at Big Pool, Maryland, on Fort Frederick Road; call that park about historic-building hours before an interior visit.

Choose a short spring stop or a booked service

For a visit without a spa appointment, focus on the public spring areas and, during its season, the free museum upstairs in the Old Roman Bathhouse. For a heated bath or whirlpool, arrange the service separately. The summer pool is another option, but its dates and Tuesday exception do not apply to the year-round public springs.

Bathhouses and a seasonal pool

The Main Bathhouse offers Roman baths and whirlpools; the Old Roman Bathhouse houses the upstairs museum. Ask about access to the specific room or service you intend to use. The outdoor pool is seasonal, and there is no overnight lodging within this state park.

About the historic spring town

From the town of Bath to a state park bathhouse

George Washington visited the springs as a teenager with a survey party. In 1776, Virginia's General Assembly established the town of Bath here. The bathhouse opened in 1930.
