Our year round Lava Hot Springs City Center KOA offers lodging, camping and glamping accommodations year round for whatever season suits your fancy.

Walk across the footbridge from any campsite or cabin to a day of fun with your family and friends at the Olympic sized swimming complex, or walk 3 blocks and soak your tired muscles at the World Famous Hot Springs. We offer various newly renovated RV sites, tent sites, cabins and cottages. Our KOA provides new shower facilities, laundromat, playground, jumping pillow, dog run, gift shop/convenience store, fire pits, fishing and Wi-Fi. Fire wood for sale in our store and fishing licenses are sold at our local Sunnyside Sinclair gas station. Check-In:3pm and Check-Out:11am

Floating the natural Portneuf River is a popular adventure. Ask about tube rental discounts during your stay.

The facilities are fine but the sites my daughter & I were assigned were a disaster the next morning when we discovered our motor homes were completely covered in aphid droppings from the trees above. The windows were so bad it took 3 washings to clean them... 7/20/2019

Nice sites, you can just walk to the Olympic water complex nearby. You do have to pay extra for the jumping pillow which was a little disappointing. 7/20/2019

Our family has been staying at this location for years. It’s very close to the Olympic pool, city and right next to the river. They have updated the facility, nice bathrooms with showers, laundry room a small microwave and you can plug in your devices if needed... 7/19/2019

The deluxe cottage was clean and I loved having a bathroom inside. KOA is there way to go! 7/18/2019

Lm. Great but short stay 7/18/2019

The park is nice. It is odd where all of the hookups are located and it made it impossible to hookup both our black and gray water. We had to use two hoses to reach the septic for the gray water. The owners or managers were great as well as the rest of the staff. 7/16/2019

No places to park your tow vehicles! 7/15/2019

It was great. We stayed in the Kottages with our standard poodle. Everything was clean and worked great. It was a real home away from home making it easy to travel with our fur kid. Thanks again for everything. 7/15/2019

Stayed in site #2. It was clean and comfortable. We had a great stay. 7/15/2019

It was a very short stay, but the accommodations were very nice. 7/15/2019

Nice place. Clean bathrooms. AC was cold. Good times 7/15/2019

Nice campground with lots to do for the kids! 7/15/2019

Loved the location. We stayed at the other KOA prior and wanted to try this location. We absolutely loved the big shade trees, made a huge difference! My only feedback would be that this campground charges for the jumping pillow for the kids... 7/14/2019

We had a wonderful time. Our site backed to the river. Everything was super clean including the restrooms and showers. 7/14/2019

We loved it. Nice and clean. Everything is walking distance. We will be back!!! 7/14/2019

Campground Recreation

Our City Center KOA offers lodging and camping accommodations year round for whatever season suits your fancy. Located downtown and walking distance to all the fun activities all year long. In the winter, steam rises from the cracks, and crevices, in which, man made pools are filled with natural, sulfur free, hot water, hence this little town of "Lava Hot Springs". In the summer, this natural hot water warms the Olympic Swimming Pool open Memorial Day to Labor Day and includes a year round Indoor Aquatic Center with the Portneuf Kiddie Cove. The Portneuf River allows tubers float the river in the summer. Why stay at a Bed and Breakfast when you can have a cottage or cabin all to yourself. A vacation destination with a wide array of activities to suit all.
