Traveling and enjoying the beautiful country. Stopped for 2 days. This was absolutely the BEST KOA ever!!!! Because of Dave and Jenny, campground hosts,were courteous and pleasant. They have done an excellent job!!!! Kudos!! The ebike experience was fun!!

We enjoyed the location and our cabin was clean and comfortable! Though I would say it’s only for sleeping 3 unless you bring a 4th bed. The futon is only suitable for 1 person.

Comfortable and well located. Visit was excellent and xampground is very well done. Little expensive especially with extra charges for extra family members or vehicles. Feels a bit like being nickel and dimed for everything. Enjoyed it a bunch though.

IT WAS MUDDY NEED MORE GRAVEL AT SITES

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your rating. Sorry about the mud. Graveling sites is always on the spring maintenance list. Unfortunately we experienced a very long winter season.

Staff was very helpful and friendly! Sites were well groomed. Restrooms/showers were extremely clean--one of the best we have encountered at KOAs! Loved being within walking distance of everything. We will stay here again when in the area!

Great campground! Fairly small for a KOA campground so didn't have quite as many amenities as some we have stayed at but didn't really need them since there is a hot springs right across the street. Also very close to a very well stocked grocery store and several restaurants. It is about 10 miles off I15 but well worth it even for one night for the soak.

Doing a good job in a tough situation considering the MOUNTAINS of snow. We were cozy and comfortable. You might consider discounting the rate a bit when services like water hookup are difficult because of freezing temperatures. Thanks.

Friendly/helpful staff. Convenient location within walking distance to everything (groceries, attractions, Main Street shops/restaurants). Well kept grounds, very nice! My only complaint would be the sewer connection wasn’t kept cleared/couldn’t be located (still a LOT of snowfall). Recommend putting a small flag to locate. The rest of the site was cleared well and clean. Very happy with our s

We had no hookups except electric but paid for full hookups. No water or sewer. Had to use the campground facilities and they were dirty. Maybe I just stayed at the wrong time? Camp host was awesome.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for not meeting your expectations. On site water and sewer hookups are not available during winter months as noted on the confirmation email when reservations are made. We take pride in the cleanliness of the bathhouse facilities and have made housekeeping aware of your experience.

Great location except wear plugs at night due to the train horns and the illegal truck Jake brakes.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for rating. We apologize for the train horns and hope that in the future a quiet zone can be established. Ear plugs are available for purchase in the camp store.

Although there was snow on the ground, Utilities were not cleared. I had to dig out my own Utilities to get to them.

We made our reservations after my wife specifically asked how much snow was in the KOA and the woman told her that is wasn't bad at all. After driving 7 hours we arrived and it was terrible. We were told that the water was shut off to the sites due to extreme temperatures in the winter. We paid the $100 plus and left two hours later. Deceptive by not being upright and forthcoming with us.

It was so cold... I upgraded to a Camping Cabin. It was lovely! My own little space with a "firepalce" (warm and cozy!). A microwave and mini fridge. It was a perfect place to have a quiet mom-vacation.

Although our stay was after winter starts to settle in on Lava Hot Springs, I think it is the best time of year to visit and enjoy the world famous hot springs. There appear to be adequate camp facilities but we did not make use of them. Due to the chilly weather, we just hunkered down in our RV when not out and about in the quaint little downtown area. Jim, our camp host, was great!

Thank you for your review. We agree, winter is an awesome time to visit Lava Hot Springs.

Great place to stay if you are visiting the hot springs. Pools and Waterpark just across the street. Easy walking to any of the great shops in town. Back-in sites along the river are great. Owners take pride in the campsites and property. Clean showers and laundry. Beautiful cabins!

What a great spot for an RV! Right at the end of Main St, there's walking access to dining, shopping and hot springs pools. The park is clean, quiet and right next to the Portneuf River.

They have new RV pads just off the river, clean bathrooms and sits in the middle of town.
