Campground Reviews

Sep 05, 2023
Facilities were well maintained and staff was so nice. It was Labor Day weekend, so the campground was pretty crowded. The only downside is that it may be too popular, if you like more solitude. We had 2 kids with us, and we all had a great time. Some of the spots are close to a highway, if you are sensitive to car noise.

Although it didn't have a Pool, there was a river and mineral pools within walking distance. We had a great view of the Portneuf River. It was a beautiful stay and showers and bathrooms were clean! If you forgot something, the store in the KOA had almost everything. It was a great stay. Thank you

Great place

Comfortable stay; noisy street after 10 pm but the trains did NOT awaken us. Too out of the way to recommend to others—maybe the KOA in town would eliminate the noise issue. The on site staff were quick to take care of trash problem and we appreciated that!!

We paid $290 for one night. At home we pay $300 for 3 months of Dish. At LHS East KOA we got NO Dish No TV. The sheets & blanket were tucked SO TIGHT, my wife could not pull them out. I pulled a muscle in my calf trying to get out of the tucks! This cabin was rented to us as a Deluxe thus a higher price! KOA should put one fitted sheet on each bed & a nice Austrian style comforter instead! NO TUCK

We love KOA at Lava Hot Springs! We come from California just to enjoy this lovely park setting. We camp on the river and it's just perfect. The staff is so welcoming and always treats us like family. We'll see you again soon, I'm sure! The Bastian Family

Beautiful campground. Great location. Well maintained grounds and facilities. Very friendly and helpful people. We stayed in newer section, and it is very nice, except for lack of mature trees. We plan to stay here again.

The upgrade to staying next to the river was a real positive. Obviously the highway and the trains are quite loud, so the gentle river added to the ambience and enjoyment of the park.

Very friendly staff! Enjoy our stay every time we visit.

Great place and location setting by the river, only issues are out of your control Rod noise and train noise. Wish you had more garbage site and larger dog runs. Another question/ concern is your fire pits are a bit concerning being dug into the ground could lead to somebody stepping into if dark or playing kids hurting themselves. All in all one of the best KOAs I’ve seen

Great as always. We love the big site with the pet area.

It is an excellent KOA for RV's our tent site was a little on the sloping side which made it a little difficult to set up, but we do have a very large tent. The bathrooms/showers were very nice and so was the laundry room. We liked the fact that we were within walking distance of town.

Beautiful Park

Second day of our stay KOA had personnel trim a tree and we had to move. Also nothing wrong with KOA but train kept us up at night.

Staff was friendly. Restrooms nice and clean. Nice park near the river. Only issue I had is they allow extra people, vehicles and tents in RV sites. Can be a little crowded near your RV site.

Love the cabins. Was very clean

We loved our stay! We arrived a couple hours early to have lunch, but it was a busy weekend right before school was starting. I called EAST KOA to ask if we would be able to possibly park on their premise and walk to go have lunch. The lady was awesome and said our cabin was actually ready if we wanted to check in. Cabin was clean and beautiful area! THANK YOU!

Very nice and clean

Changed site as original site too small for RV. Given nice sunny site at end by river. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hot springs in walking distance. Small, quaint town with nice people.

The shoulder season rates are a cheaper option.

Relaxing at the camp site, and close enough to town to walk to.

They were so amazing, the office store had everything we needed because we forgot things, the campsite was clean, the bathrooms are stellar. Truly perfect for a camping get away. Lava itself is the perfect little get away spot. It’s the best small town vacation perfect for those who love the outdoors!

traffic and train noise otherwise a nice place
Aug 15, 2023
This place is very nice and has just about every accommodation you could ask for! I’m only giving it 4/5 stars because they need to take out some of the concrete dividers they have in between the camp spots. I almost hit the concrete wall a few times with our trailer and my truck because our site was right on the corner. Looked like a few people have hit it/run into it in the past.

The park is beautiful but .........I was assured our site (#220) was nowhere by the road. Let me tell you, it was right next to the busy busy freeway and also the train tracks. All day and all night, semi's and trains. Also no shade at all, we paid for a patio site thinking since it cost more, it would be nice, NOPE. I would not recommend this place at all

Was great until a giant tree cutting company pulled up early in the am to start cutting down a tree being very noisy. :(

This was an unfortunate situation for you to experience, but the safety factor was very concerning to us. We hired a professional tree service to take care of the tree.

This is our second time staying in the loft cabin we love staying at the East KOA. The staff is always friendly and so helpful. The view of the river is so pretty and the sound peaceful and relaxing. It is close enough to walk to all the attractions. We will be back.

wish we could have stayed longer. LOVED our spots we stayed in with our son&daughter in law even if only for 2 nights in that spot. Perfect location for an easy walk to ANYTHING in town . spots by the stream are just beautiful.

Beautiful spot and staff kind and helpful

Great place close to everything right on the river! We had a deluxe site and it was well laid out. We really enjoyed our stay. Totally weird check in, they ask you everything twice, kids, pets, extra cars etc and make you sign a separate form not KOA issued to ensure you aren’t lying?!? They could definitely update that process.

Campground is always clean, Staff is always friendly. It's close to the Hot Springs.
Aug 12, 2023
Staff very helpful even made a friend. Allowed multiple moves as better sites opened up. Very clean. Very close to town.
Aug 12, 2023
The price of the stay was a bit high for me, but speaking of the services, lighting and place, it is excellent.
Aug 11, 2023
Easy in/out and good parking. Nice spacing. Showers/restrooms clean and spacious. Staff is friendly. Everything you want in a stay. Super glad we picked Lava Hot Springs East KOA

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.
