Campground Reviews

Oct 10, 2022
The campground and facilities are nice. The location of the campground is very noisy. We were placed in a site beside the highway. No barrier to protect us if a car were to leave the Hwy. We were also directly across from the railroad tracks. From the hours of 11:30 at night to four in the morning, nine trains went by. Very expensive campsite to listen to Hwy and train noise all night long.

Loved this location! Absolutely beautiful, affordable, & conveniently located. We live only 15 miles from here, but decided to camp at the KOA rather than the mountains since it is hunting season and we wanted to get one more little family adventure in before winter. The staff were awesome! So helpful & friendly. Whitney & Jim especially. Great job guys! We’ll be back!

We asked for a back-in site to accommodate our 38' 5th wheel without unhitching ... and the new receptionist said we would need a pull-through. After setting up, we noticed a couple of back-ins on the east end that would have worked. Also, we usually avoid RV parks that charge a pet fee ... bit of a rip-off in my opinion

Thank you for rating your stay. Guests are always welcome to upgrade or change their site to one that meets their expectations through the office upon their arrival. The campground provides doggie bag stations and a paw pen area where guests can let their dog(s) off their leash to exercise and play.

fThe place looked fairly good but it needs work .. our space was muddy by our front door, and you have a serious infestation of little flying black bugs.. They covered our hoses electric cable, and were all over our trailer, awning, and several came into the trailer. you need to do something about them soon.. if I were to reccomend your place I would have to also mention the bugs.

Sorry that we did not meet your expectations. The stink bugs are a seasonal autumn occurrence. They are a state wide nuisance. As temperatures drop they congregate seeking food and shelter before going into their diapause life cycle. We work hard to keep their short visit tolerable.

The welcome staff were very kind and easy to deal with. Unfortunately, the price was high for the accommodations, since we don't use any hook-ups.

We had an amazing experience. We got high centered on a curb taking the corner tight. Your staff and host were amazing at taking care of us. They spent over an hour jacking us up and getting us off the curb safely and without damaging our trailer and without anyone getting hurt. We felt pretty stupid about the issue and they were so kind and understanding. This is our 2nd time staying here!

We loved staying in the cabin, a small table and chair would be really nice in the cabin.

Thank you for your rating. Your suggestion regarding a table and chair in the cabin is being considered.

There is a lot of noise from the highway but the campground was very nice. Clean and well played out. Our site had a dog run for our pup.

Excellent! We stayed in Sp#10. I thoroughly enjoyed the view and the pad was clean. Everything worked as advertised. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: The train traffic is loud! We like trains, so no big deal. We hiked up the Idaho Centennial Trail (5 miles) and did a 12 mile mountain bike ride. Plenty to do in LHS! Get out of your camper and go! We were also fortunate to meet the campground owner

New area is very nice. I like the raised grass and patios.

The site was fine but difficult to maneuver a Class A through. There is a train that runs by the park and it is old but at least ir did blow it’s whistle all night. I wouldn’t rate this a place I would want to revisit.

We had very noisy, very close neighbors. The campground itself was clean and nice. The spaces were too close together for such large RV’s. We will not use this particular site again.

We had an awesome weekend. Loved the upgrades to the campground since our last stay here.

perfect spot by the river with upgraded amenities. was a bit pricey

Lovely treed sites. There is a lower campground near the river, a mid-level campground, and a higher level campground. Some of these sites are premium, with not only concrete pads but concrete patios and curbs. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, and there were plenty of machines in the laundry room. There were a variety of cabins. It is a lovely place to stay when visiting lava Hot Springs.

We absolutely loved are stay! Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance so that was a plus the food in town was great and the hot springs! This KOA is at the top of our list very clean and beautiful views!!

We stayed in the new area and it was very nice, clean, level, nice patio with grass. The only issue was the noise from the road. Maybe you could plant trees along that side of the campground to filter the noise.

The desk girl was young and not very friendly. Didn’t explain anything about the camping area. It is very loud from the engine brakes of the trucks and the train that travels right beside the camp ground. These things are not very relaxing. Which is much needed after any long drive!

Very clean camp site! Love the curbing. Bathrooms were spotless. Coming back in 2 weeks.

We stayed in L46 and patio is facing the river. Very nice night bbq and fire pit experience. Close by train tracks and freeway is the downside though. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Kids loved the bunk beds.

The cabins are very cozy, close to the Portneuf river across from the cabins. It runs by some great RV parking spots looking at that river. I gave them 2 stars for service because no one is around Monday to Thursday, along with limited working hours Friday- Sunday. If you want something, you have to get in your vehicle and drive about a mile away to their other office in a different area of town. I find that ridiculous or even worse, asinine, not sure what the owner was thinking of that concept. Everything else was great. Some people might have other opinions about driving away to check out, they should have a drop box located around the office area to drop off the keys where we were staying at, instead of us driving to the other location drop it off, I found that to be very inconvenience for us.
