Lava Hot Springs, Idaho Campground | Lava Hot Springs West KOA Holiday

Welcome to Lava Hot Springs West KOA, located downtown at 89 N. Center St. Exit off of Hwy 30 under the water slides. We are the closest campground to the Olympic-sized swimming pool and water park.

Lava Hot Springs KOA West offers lodging, camping and glamping accommodations during any season of the year. If you plan to stay during the summer season, make your reservation 6 months ahead. This campground is centrally located to all the fun-filled activities, which makes it very popular. The footbridge located over the Portneuf River makes for a fast and easy access to the water park from any campsite. The World Famous Hot Springs are only 3 blocks away and open year round. With many new renovations still in the near future, we'd like to announce the new Pavilion is ready for private rental gatherings, or free to use with courtesy to all campers. It seats approximately 30-40 people. Our KOA provides new shower facilities, laundromat, playground, jumping pillow, dog run, gift shop/convenience store, fire pits, fishing and Wi-Fi.

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

Visit www.lavahotsprings.com for the hot springs and water park rates and hours.

We stayed at one of the cabins with the 2 queens. They were very clean and spacious, and the staff was very helpful. Just keep in mind that this KOA is actually in town... 10/3/2021

Awesome funky little town! Great place to camp! 10/19/2021

Such a beautiful campsite right on the river and great proximity to everything in town including a grocery store right around the corner and an Ace Hardware that does propane tank exchanges. The campsite was clean and super accommodating with free Wifi... 10/18/2021

We stayed in a 2bd cabin. It was so comfortable. Definitely will stay again. We have stayed in Lava many times over the years and were prepared for the 2am train! 10/17/2021

The campground was very clean and very spacious. Bathrooms and showers were clean as well. My husband and me enjoyed our stayed! 10/15/2021

Brief one night stay but really enjoyed your park clean and easy to use we have added it to our favorite places to go and stay. Thank you! 10/15/2021

It was great! The cabin we stayed in was clean and warm and we will definitely come back 10/15/2021

The front desk attendant was not very friendly. 10/15/2021

One of the best koa we have stayed at , thanks. 10/12/2021

This trip we stayed in space number 92. Decent space but a little pricey. We were there a few weeks ago and stayed in 37. It's really sad that you can't just get some road base or gravel in down in those units! They tend to be mud holes all the time. 10/11/2021

It was clean and it was quiet 10/9/2021

Love Lava Hot Springs, one of my favorite places to visit. This is the first time I stayed at the KOA, Jim was very friendly and very easy to talk to. Looking forward to many more visits 10/9/2021

Traveling through and office staff extremely friendly. Went to soaking pools in town. Would come back 10/9/2021

Very clean KOA with great location near the beautiful town and hot springs. 10/7/2021

This place is adorable and we will come back. Getting a site by the river was worth it! The only concern or serious hiccup with this place is the placement of sewer hookups. They’re poorly placed, making hookup difficult. Ours was directly under the center of our trailer... 10/7/2021
