We loved it. 8/8/2020

Stayed one night in pull thru site in motorhome. Well maintained park near city attractions 8/7/2020

It was great I forgot my pills and had them over night to the KOA. They called me when it arrived. The VA also sent my pain pills to the KOA after we had left. The Manager and staff of the KOA called me,I asked if they would over night them to me... 8/7/2020

This place had all the entertainment we needed for our stay. The cabins were very comfortable and equipped with all necessities. We are definitely returning to this place! 8/7/2020

Had a blast. Place was clean and people were friendly. 8/5/2020

Nice park 8/5/2020

Our FAVORITE KOA so far! We had a little piece of paradise while we were there! Right next to the river, shady, EXTREMELY CLEAN, friendliest staff ever! Ask for the sites on the lower side for more shade and river access. You'll LOVE it! 8/4/2020

Our cabin was very nice. Brand new and comfortable. Our only complaint was the campground is right next to a busy highway that was noisy day and night. The check in and reservations was great. Nothing can be done about the road, so that’s the only negative 8/3/2020

Great site. Very clean 8/3/2020

Was concerned when we arrived at the crowd of people but it was nice and quite at night. My only advice would be that if you don't like crazy crowds of people try to avoid the weekends.They are crazy crowded. 8/3/2020

Wonderful 8/3/2020

This is one of the nicest KOA locations we've stayed at. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the location is ideal. The recent additions of new mini cabins and the upgraded RV spaces have truly made this KOA the best place to stay in Lava. 8/3/2020

Very clean. Only complaint was excessive noise from train and highway traffic which is obviously not something you can control! Next time we will rent a spot away from the highway! 8/3/2020

We got number 58, it’s very noisy in the night, train and cars. Restroom clean, around area are beautiful. 8/3/2020

Great sites with concrete. Level by the water. Very nice. 8/2/2020

Our campers may fish in the river, right from the campground if they wish, and on a lucky day will snare a good trout. Another popular spot for fisherman is the Chesterfield Reservoir, located about 30 minutes from the campground. We have seen great catches come back to the campground from that spot (no fish tales here!). Stop in the store to pick up your Southeast Idaho fishing guide.
