Overall Camper Rating:

A very nice KOA.If you can get a site next to the river, it is shady and easier to cool off on hot days. They also have some very beautiful cabins 6/18/2021

We stayed in one of the Deluxe Cabins that back up against the water. Perfect spot! We walked into town in the morning wearing our suits and carrying towels. Got a coffee and walked around old town... 6/13/2021

I just stayed in my trailer not in the cabins. Nice place 5/30/2021

Very hospitable, very nice location though the trains are a bit much. Nothing KOA East can do about that unfortunately. 6/17/2021

we stayed in spot 6 in the newer patio spots on the river a little more money but worth it we stayed for 2 days with my grand kids. very clean and a great staff 6/17/2021

We enjoy this KOA & with the vast improvements they've made it's even better. Particularly, coating the roads to reduce dust! We had one issue... when we relocated the fire bowl, there was a significant amount of very sticky residue from the previous fires... 6/15/2021

Friendly staff. Clean campsite. Gorgeous view. Kids loved the playground. Close to the water park and river floating. Loved getting our laundry done!... 6/15/2021

This was a lovely campground. Mature trees and lots of space on your site. Easy access to tubing, pools and the town. Lower spaces are gorgeous but have to book way in advance. Little pricey but well maintained and nice location... 6/15/2021

Quiet, nice facilities 6/15/2021

Very nice KOA. Well kept and clean. The only drawback might be the heavy traffic and trains. 6/15/2021

We had four groups wanting to camp next together. It was not possible because we had a trailer, 2 deluxe cabins, and one smaller cabin. The cabins were very nice. The trailer spot was nice but small. Would have preferred to have our 4 groups together... 6/15/2021

We love this KOA and this was our second time staying here. The premium sites are very nice, ours was right on the river, and have level concrete pads. The picnic area was also a concrete pad, but not very level... 6/14/2021

We were assigned a wonderful site with lots of room. Staff was for the most part very friendly. We had two issues with dogs not on a leash. One asulting us and another of its owner not picking up a dump in the middle of the lawn... 6/14/2021

The only complaint I had was there were people parking in the lot without a pass. No one ever checked for passes. 6/14/2021

Beautiful location and very friendly helpful staff! We will be back! 6/14/2021

the staff was very friendly and helpful. The RV site was clean and everything worked as advertised. There was lots of trees and shade. 6/13/2021

Nice park, I would suggest the lower part of park. More people but also more trees for shade. It was very hot with little shade in the upper new part. 6/12/2021

Staff was very friendly and much nicer than koa west 6/12/2021

Take a nice float down the little river that runs through the town of Lava Hot Springs. Several rental shops in town offer tubes that seat anywhere from one to four people. Within an hour, you can float the river twice. Be sure to bring water shoes to protect feet, and prepare for an adventure!
