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

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.

Overall Camper Rating:

This KOA was awesome! We had so much fun here. The staff is fantastic. The campground was very clean and well maintained. We stayed in spot 37. It was a back in space that backed up to the river... 4/14/2021

Nice cabins with great views 4/5/2021

No complaints. Ducks kept the kids occupied. It's right on the river. Trains are noisy but that will be the case anywhere in this small canyon. They run every hour or two. Walking distant to pool... 4/2/2021

Nice little campground right in the middle of everything 3/23/2021

Paperwork was not on the "back door" with instructions as stated when they called me. 3/23/2021

Great cabin. Very clean, queen bed was comfortable. Futon wasn’t comfortable but acceptable for my 12 year old. Our 14 year old daughter could turn the breakfast nook into a bed using the cushions. The cabin stayed warm enough and the location was perfect... 3/21/2021

We were given a nice site and everything was left where we could find it since they weren't going to be there when we got in. Thanks! 3/19/2021

Great place! The staff was very accommodating 3/15/2021
