Camping near hot springs can be a magical experience for backpackers, but these unique natural features require special care to minimize human impact.

Agree with Brian’s comment. Sadly those who need this advice most are the least likely to see it. I hate preaching in the backcountry, but it’s sometimes hard not to say something about the more egregious behaviors. Of course with the state of modern civility, it can also be dangerous to say anything . . .
