We were not told about the sprinklers which suddenly came on, sprayed our rig's front entrance and destroyed our power surge protector. The sprinklers spray everything to include the power pedestal and anything plugged into the pedestal. This destroyed our power surge protector which is over $300. Further no one told us about a power generation facility on property. We got no sleep. Terrible.

We had fun. Thanks!

Loved the clean campsites. The only complaint we had was the location of the sewer hook up. Our hose was not long enough to reach either clean out when we were parked in the spot and we had to wait until we were ready to leave to empty the sewer.

Beautiful campground and well maintained. The constant trains across the street and semi truck from the highway were distracting when trying to sleep though.

Wonderful accommodations. I slept well, the cabin was comfortable. It was really enjoyable

This is a very beautiful park. The site was big and level. The lawn was very nicely maintained. We did not use laundry or showers, but I imagine they were nothing less than immaculate. Makayla was very friendly and helpful at check in. My only regret is that we only had one day to enjoy this park and all that there is to do in the area. Highly recommend!

Love love everything. KOA has been my home away from home since my childhood. I'm so glad they have only gotten better and I can share it with my husband! Lava is my birthday present every year!

This was one of the best KOA that my wife and I have stay in, we have being traveling across the country coming back from NC going to WA and we have being traveling for about 9+ hours. So we have stay at a lot of KOA's in going and coming across country so we find this one and it was very nice and very clean the staff was very nice and if we were to able to go back that way we will stay there.

We’ve been to several hundred KOA’s and this ranks in the top 5!

The cabin was great! The East KOA was clean and spacious.

Very over priced. Paid 80 dollars to have to walk a good 15 min carrying my laundry when I wasn’t told when I got my spot. We will choose to stay elsewhere next time we come through here

Ridiculous charge of $100 per day is $40 more than I’ve ever paid, and I’ve been camping for more than 40 years. It’s not like we have a huge footprint with a slide in camper. They also chose our stay to run a dump truck and grader to redo the driveway. I know it’s bad timing on our part and if I didn’t overpay I would not even complain. We’ve come for the past 4 years and will find an

We do have much cheaper sites, however; if a guest chooses to stay in a back in along the river these sites are based on 4 people, and you can put up (1) small tent. The cheaper sites are based on 2 people, no tents.

This is my favorite KOA. Very clean and well cared for. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will return often.
May 02, 2022
They were very accommodating when we had to change our stay with less than a days notice due to bad weather.
May 02, 2022
Nicely upgraded over recent years. We will be back
May 02, 2022
Wow. You guys have done a lot of work and improvements. Loved it.
May 02, 2022
Easy and Courteous check in. Our cabin was awesome and had everything in it and the patio area that over looked the river was amazing. We will be coming back.

Roads are terrible. Staff in office are not well informed of the camp or area.

Great place clean and nice. But 18.00 for 3 ice cream bars... really ? Oh and 76.00 a night parking about 25.00 to much.

The only issue I have was the RV space was not graded to an acceptable level to accompany non self hydrloiccleveling units. Mine has just stabilizers an would have needed at least 4 leveling blocks per the west side of the space to make the RV level. That equals another 6” of elevation. We did make it work though!

We apologize about this particular site. We have plans this Springs to fix it.

A very nice campground with scenic views and close to the hot springs. Very clean and nice staff. The patio sites are very nice, the other sites can be a little tight for longer trailers and harder to get level. The only negative is the road from the office to the camp sites is full of potholes and there’s no way to avoid them.

The facility was clean and all of the staff were from and helpful.

We brought a fgroup of people with intellectual disabilities to this site for a vacation. The staff streated them with much respect and kindness. Check in and our was very easy and organized. The cabins were beauriful and well kept. We will be back!

Very nice RV park. We were in the most expensive site in the campground and had power issues that caused our coach batteries to go dead. Repeated calls did not get answered. Finally had to move to a new spot. The RV park is next to a busy highway and train that runs day and night. Very loud. Its a shame since it is a nice KOA and close to town and hot springs.

The power pedestal was checked out by an electrician within 2 hours of your call and reported no problems, we moved you for accommodation before he could arrive. For future readers the train and HWY 30 border the North side of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

We stayed in L31. We did not sleep a wink. Truck traffic and train traffic shaking the cabin a adventure. The. Campground was nice but location lacked if staying in highway cabin. Would have to really think about staying again. Eric

The East KOA campsite is our favorite place to stay at Lava. The registration staff was so accommodating. The site was very spacious.

Arrived early enough to enjoy a walk downtown. Very friendly staff and site #96 was a perfect fit. We will definitely come back.

Super Clean. Create patio set-ups. Beautiful river flows next to campground. Trains run 24/7 nearby and constant road noise. Sites are very small. The largest sites are surrounded by 18” tall concrete barriers which can cause severe damage to your tires if you hit them or rub against them. Use caution when maneuvering! The access road needs serious attention due to deep potholes.

Thank you for pointing out the beauty for which you enjoyed. Unfortunately, the West side of the campground is the original part of the campground, where sites are smaller. We do have larger sites in the newly developed "East" side RV #'s71-223. Potholes were just fixed last week. We do apologize

It was fantastic, I got injured in Moab and driving back through Lava hot springs, we upgraded from using our tent trailer to. Dry cabin on the recommendation of the wonderful lady working on Tuesday April 20th. She called us back even to offer linens if we didn't have.. Her customer service was amazing and so accommodating. Thanks Koa!

Staff was very lovely and the cabin was clean and as described. We were very disappointed, however with the location. Right up against the freeway there was too much noise to sleep at all.

We stayed in L46 and patio is facing the river. Very nice night bbq and fire pit experience. Close by train tracks and freeway is the downside though. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Kids loved the bunk beds.

The cabins are very cozy, close to the Portneuf river across from the cabins. It runs by some great RV parking spots looking at that river. I gave them 2 stars for service because no one is around Monday to Thursday, along with limited working hours Friday- Sunday. If you want something, you have to get in your vehicle and drive about a mile away to their other office in a different area of town. I find that ridiculous or even worse, asinine, not sure what the owner was thinking of that concept. Everything else was great. Some people might have other opinions about driving away to check out, they should have a drop box located around the office area to drop off the keys where we were staying at, instead of us driving to the other location drop it off, I found that to be very inconvenience for us.
