RV Reviews

This KOA is great! We come back every year and love our sites on the river.

Nice campground, but the 10pm quiet hour was not enforced. That’s the reason for the 3 star.

Would like to see more space in between camp sites. Also personalized motor vehicles with underage kids driving is a accident waiting to happen not to mention the noise
Jul 26, 2022
The campground is well maintained we enjoyed our visit but the trains were very loud.

Rude people and they change their policies to fit their needs. They've never questioned us if we have to pop a tent in the 5 years we've been coming. Now all the sudden they charge $25 a night. I'm already paying for the stay and the amenities, and everything else. It's a rip off I will not be staying their again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

As we have been the owners for quite some time the policy has always been that an extra tent on a site is an extra charge. Our KOA.com page also explains this. Our staff will also be confirming how many people, tents, cars and pets at check in, and charging accordingly for every reservation.

Camping next to the Portneuf river is always a treat; beautiful and peaceful - despite the truck traffic and the regular passing of trains. After a while, you just tune those things out and watch the river run. It's walking distance to the hot springs and downtown. This was our second time and we will likely be back. Jim in the office and Kip out on the grounds made our stay that much better.

Someone should tell you when booking this is surrounded by live train tracks and a very busy highway. Nosiest campground I have ever stayed in

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Unfortunately it is difficult to escape the noise of the train tracks, Hwy 30, and the Portneuf River. They run parallel of Lava Hot Springs. All three can be seen and heard from anywhere in town.

Very nice environment and nice people. It's the most expensive campground we've ever stayed at. We enjoyed the stay and the people we met. We will come again but hope that it is not so expensive.

This time of year, July 1 -August 15th is our "holiday" season rates. The "shoulder" and "in-season" April 1 -June 15th or September 10th - October 15th rates are much cheaper.

This is a beautiful park with a top notch staff.

Last year 2021we stayed here for $57 a night. This year 2022, same time of year, same rv spot they charged me $137. My wife and I really enjoyed staying here. This price hike is insane, especially for senior citizens. We would enjoy it again if they didn't charge so much. We were really disappointed and cut our stay short due to the price increase.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

For future reference, sites #4 and #14 on the river are much cheaper. I could not find a reservation under your name from last year, so I'm wondering if you stayed at a different campground? Our rates definitely did not jump from $57 to $137.

The place is ok but I thought quite time was at 10.00pm. We got there Monday and left Thursday. There was a party close to us every night until 12.20 am every night. The traffic was bad you can here trucks all night not to mention the trains. Over all it was a nice place

It was good. We had a nice spot.

This was our 4th stay at this campground. We love coming back every year to visit Lava Hot Springs and stay at KOA. The bathrooms are convenient, the campground is in good shape.
Jul 21, 2022
This KOA is our favorite place to stay in LHS. Walking distance to town but a quiet getaway with sites right on the river. Nice patios and well maintained landscaping. The store had any essentials you need and some neat souvenir options. Highly recommend.

Beautiful location along the river. River front camping spots are worth the extra money. They have table and chairs and a great view and sound of the River. Very nice accommodations. We were pleasantly surprised and would stay there again

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the park the cleaning of the restrooms. All the different amenities there were offered if you wanted to take advantage of the picnic area up by the restrooms for a larger crowd for a meal. The people that worked inside the office which I had been in there different times were all very courteous and polite. I was very happy with my state and rescheduled

Great place to stay. We've come every year the last few years with a large family group and everyone has a great time. The location is great and it's always clean and well taken care of.

I love Lava Hot Springs! My family & I have been going there for 28 straight years! However, it is getting more and more expensive to stay here. The ownership keeps changing and the timeframe to make reservations keeps changing as well. We always stay the same week each year & it seems like we have a harder time getting spots next to eachother due to those changes every year.

Andi and Kody are excellent people and great owners. Been here many times over the past few years and have never been disappointed with facilities or service. Thanks, Mike and Kim R

Beautiful place, friendly staff, so happy they had a small convenient store on premises at check-in to cover any items forgotten; like eggs! Camping right on the river only 2 minutes from town was awesome! Thank you.

We had a large family reunion, rented multiple RV spaces . Quiet, very clean, very accommodating. Close enough to town to walk. We already booked next years stay to make it three years in a row.

Very clean and fun place. I will return!

Close to the river. Train not as loud as in the West KOA.

Great campground, clean bathrooms with great facilities. I reserved late so did not have the best spot but there are plenty of nice spaces along the river.

semi-level sights. over priced. staff not that friendly. check in is 3pm. even though our site was ready, they wouldn't let us in at 2:35. truck and train noise constantly. if you're headed to lava hot springs, there are other campgrounds to look at.

We had a fun time, camping with family and cousins, our 41st year at Lava HS, most of those years at this campground! The current owners do a great job with this camp, and we enjoy annual improvements. Everywhere else we travel, we rate the campgrounds by this one, some close, and few better than this one!

It was a great, clean place to stay. We loved that we could walk to the little downtown and the aquatic center. We happened to be there on a night where the train went by at least 4 times while we slept…it sounded like it was coming right towards us. Besides that and the big truck noise on the highway, we loved our stay!
Jul 08, 2022
We’ve come to Lava HHS since 1982, always fun! We’ve been at this campground for over 20 years, and every year the campground is better. Looking forward to next year!

Thank you for staying with us. We strive to continue the improvements needed and appreciate your support.

Jim at the desk made a series of errors regarding our reservation from January 2022 and then claimed we owed $11 even though our receipt showed fully paid. Blamed it on a price increase but after refusing to pay, he finally wrote it off. Nickel and Diming. Park was nice, but the mosquito spraying truck at 10 pm, the trains all night and trash truck at 5:45 am were ridiculous. Wouldn’t recommend

AMAZING! Thank you for the great facility! This place allowed me to share a comfortable camping experience with my grandparents and my 2 little children. I will have memories of here forever.
Jul 07, 2022
We’ve been going there for years and unfortunately we will all not be back due to your prices. They are ridiculous.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Prices are based on supply and demand. Therefore; if a guest stays anytime other than July 1-August 15th the prices will be cheaper.
Jul 07, 2022
The owners and associates really care and they are always working to make our stay perfect.

The spaces are pretty tight together but the setup allows for privacy and a great camping experience. I love the concrete pads and fire pit! Neat little path runs along the road so you can walk into town. We really loved it there and will return.

New spots are very tight... churning makes it tough to get in and out

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.
