Campground Reviews

Very quiet and convenient for our needs. KOA staff were exceptional and professional!

Lovely campground with shade trees, streams and rivers. Bathroom shower was a little awkward with no real space to put your change of clothes and keep it dry, and the constant train horns from the nearby crossing made solid sleep difficult. Walking distance to all town stores and most importantly the hot springs are just a short stroll away.

Noisy construction across river.

We enjoyed two nights, the site was exceptionally easy and beautiful. Listed to the river and enjoyed being right in town.

I know you can't control the weather. But the spots were really muddy. More gravel or possibly more cement for where we park the RV’s. That would really help. The staff was amazing. Very nice and accommodating. We will probably stay here again or use the KOA East.

Nice location. Right next door to the Lava Hot Springs swimming pool facility. Everything in Lava is within walking distance of Lava West KOA. Many of the camp sites are very nice, but a few, including ours, has neither grass or gravel, but instead was just dirt. Water and sewer hookups are very basic. Electrical was up to date. For the price, the site should have been nicer.

We were just stopping through on our long drive from Alaska to Louisiana, but wish we had known how cute this little town was! Hot springs, tubbing down the river all within walking distance! And one of the cutest dry cabins we have stayed at. If I ever end up in Lava Hot Springs again I’ll plan more than one night!

People were quite friendly and the facility was clean. My only complaint is the cost. 142 for a 13-foot RV seems excessive.

Too many dogs off leash. Did poop not cleaned up. Water hookup is 8" from the sewer! Dirt pads are way overpriced and not maintained well.

Beautiful site. Cleanest KOA I have stayed at.

The hosts are very friendly and the koa is clean. It’s located in a convenient location for shops and attractions in the area.

Following the Labor Day weekend, we found the CG/town much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Our state was fine. The area as well kept and maintained well. When we arrived, we were given a spot that was not the one we had reserved and when we inquired about the one we reserved we were told somebody else was using it, so it was not available, and then it was not used the whole entire visit.

The first night of our stay we were talking amongst ourselves with a bluetooth speaker playing background music. Around 9:35 p.m. a KOA employee approached us and warned us that there was no music allowed after 10 p.m. The way we she addressed the issue sounded like a threat. She should have given us a friendly reminder of the campground policy. This was handled very inappropriately.

Our camping cabin was perfect for our little family! It was clean, comfortable, and in walking distance of the restaurants, hot springs, and store. The bathroom was close by and also very clean and well kept. The staff were also very welcoming and friendly! We will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Great sites and friendly hosts. Lots of shade. Small dog park was very well maintained. Didn’t sleep well because of frequent loud trains so close to site.
Sep 10, 2023
Lots of improvements to facility. Curbing at site is problematic when dumping tanks. Train noise is really bad...all night long. Not much the park can do about it. Laundry is excellent as well as the staff.

The cabin was clean & so cute. The bed was very comfortable. Loved sitting on the porch. The rocking chairs were comfortable.

Absolutely love this quiet Oasis in Lava Hot Sorings. Quiet campground within walking distance of the whole town. The staff are super friendly, our site was level and long enough for our toy hauler and truck

We really enjoyed our stay. The campground and bathrooms were clean. We are already planning our visit next year.

It’s ok. The tent spot we paid for the power tower was blown and unusable. So we couldn’t charge our power box or phones (needed only because we had minor friends of my children and they needed contact with their parents). The activities listed on website were different than in real life, with fun jumping pillow changed to swing set. I think we will try another campground next time for variety

Front office very accommodating and allowed moving to a more desirable site. Park maintenance personnel were extremely considerate and personably friendly. Wonderful surroundings along the river.

Our first time in a KOA cabin, the DK08 cabin at Lava Hot Springs West KOA was the nicest cabin ever. We didn't know we would need a fitted sheet & it's not something most campers bring along with them anyway. If you just add a fitted sheet on the bed it would be perfect. We always bring our pillows & blankets. From the coffee to the rocking chairs, it was a great stay.

The setting was excellent but the train that ran every hour made the stay very unpleasant

The campsites are beautiful with full hookups but the staff is unfriendly and they charge for every last thing after paying a high price for the spot. We stayed in a larger spot Thursday-Sunday and paid almost $500. We still had to pay for our kids, additional vehicle, dogs, and tent. Why does my spot only include 2 people, I should be able to put as many kids in my trailer as will fit.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the river. But just a little too crowded
Aug 28, 2023
It is a nice place but way too expensive for the small lots and they charge you for another car and even a dog. Crazy

The facility was very clean and the sites were nice. The hot springs and river tubing were very close and looked like fun. We just didn’t care for the trains going by at night. We were woke up 3 times at night while trying to sleep.

clean and convenient koa- we had a great time staying there

Employees quick to clean lots for new arrivals. Great location except for the constant train horns.

The office staff are amazing, the grounds are beautiful, and the public restrooms are the cleanest I've ever entered. Thanks for a great experience!

It was great as always. Getting pricey though.

This KOA is such an Amazing place! We can’t wait to come back and bring the family. Located right in town and across from some hot springs, we didn’t have to drive anywhere. Cabins were clean and beautiful!

Positives first…This is a great KOA! It's clean, well managed, has a wonderful feel! Mature trees, fire bowls, spots with great patios and patios. We stayed in #70. These specific spots in the center across from the cabins are a little tight, but they work just fine for what we needed! Bathroom/showers are clean and we always saw someone doing cleaning or maintenance. The office staff are friendly and very helpful!! Great store next door, walking bridge over to Olympic swimming pool and walking distance to food and shops, mineral baths and tubing. Our kids loved riding bikes and playing in the water. The store also has just about everything you need. Firewood is expensive, bring your own! Now the not so great! This isn't the fault of the KOA, but if you're looking for quiet, this isn't it in the evening times. Lava has a rooftop bar way up the road, but you can hear every song, every laugh and it goes till around 12:30am/1am on weekends. And then there's the freight 🚂! One night we counted the train horns of 6 every hour on the hour! They incessantly blare their horns and the screeching of the tracks eek! 😬 we also paid 14.99 for premium WiFi that never worked even with our camper WiFi ranger! Won't use the free one, it works for the most part! Short of the noise and people cutting through empty spots this KOA was delightful. We'd satay here again and again, we will just bring ear plugs next time! I'd also say the prices are decent, though I've heard from some the prices have been raised. Worked well for us! Enjoyed our time!
