Campground Reviews

$54 for an end “tent” site!!! Absolutely atrocious! The “space” was leftover ground under a tree at the end of a RV row. It was horrible

Friendly staff and well cared for facility. Extra charges for kids and pets is tacky, especially given this is a KOA “Holiday” that has no kids activities.

We had a great time!! Everyone was very helpful

Absolutely gorgeous views by the river. The cabin is spectacular, it's tiny but has everything you need for comfort.

Host was very helpful and understanding. Quite noisy, next to busy highway and train tracks.

Nice campground but it is way to close to the highway and train tracks. Didn’t sleep well at all and an that was after several beers. Just don’t understand how there can be is many trains in one night.

On first sight it is so beautiful! Nice big trees, green grass, no trash. Then went in, met the some of the kindest and helpful people. This space was one of the nicest KOA Camp we have been to. Had a GREAT TIME!! We will be back soon!! Thank you so very much for a wonderful week!!

The campground was great, but the road noise and the train were awful.

Stayed a few days on the way up to Yellowstone and stop again on the way home. This is a nice park close to all the activities of Lava Hot Springs. It’s pricey but you have a very nice clean park with A+ showers

Love this site!

Park was very nice. Only issue in our site 222 is the curb on the left at the entrance to the site as it is hard to get our 40 ft rig in. I think they should remove it and build a box of some kind to protect that sewer fitting.

Fantastic facilities, clean, well laid out, and a TRUE BIG RIG friendly resort!

Everything was great! The road and the train tracks were quite close and Loud. The fire pits are any kind of on the road.

I have been coming for three years now. The campgrounds and facilities are well maintained and the grounds are beautiful. My only complaint is the speed of some vehicles, including the KOA employees in the golfcarts. All in all, a great place to stay.

My camp space was awesome. Everything was clean and well maintained.

We love this campground. It would be very helpful to have a chair in each one of the bathroom/shower stalls in the upper bathrooms.

Site was large and clean. Great shade trees helped temper the heat. Regular Wifi was 2-3 mbps so worthless. Verizon coverage was good. Trains and freeway were a huge annoyance. Tent site right next to my site was annoying as the people stayed up after midnight talking very loud. It was labor day and a packed campground. Bathrooms looked nice with each room for each shower/restroom.

Expensive, but otherwise perfect.

We loved everything about it except the trains that went by day and night all the time. The only time we couldn’t hear them is when we had our AC unit cranked up.

Very nice , but a little too expensive!

The young man that greeted us at arrival was delightful & helpful. The campground is situated right next to a beautiful river, a busy Hwy 30 , & a train that was not too bothersome. The sites are level & the setting relaxing despite the Hwy & train. Extra long sewer hose necessary.Strangly, it is located at the end of the pad, beneath your RV.We had to dump on our way out.

Too many ATV, too loud—music, road noise.

This is the second time we have stayed at Lava east, and we will definitely be back. One of the nicest KOA campgrounds that we stay at, had a bunch of or kids come up for the weekend and they had a blast. Very clean and kept up campground, only draw back is there is lots of traffic noise and a lot of trains that go by day and night. That won’t stop us from coming back, beautiful valley .

Everything was fantastic.

We generally do not stay at KOA campgrounds, and I wish I had not stayed at this one. It was actually insulting to pay a premium price, including two pet fees, to stay in an essentially empty campground. This, coupled with the constant road traffic and freight train noise made the experience all the more unpleasant. We will not be back.

Close to town, great space with plenty of spacing between coach’s, we were parked along shaded area with mature trees shade most spaces. The bathroom were very clean and newly remodeled. We can see where large areas with new concrete pads and landscaped are being added.

Very IMPRESSED with the new upgrades upper area**Cement patio pads & curbing to direct backing into trailer parking area GREAT forethought & design**public restrooms VERY Clean & maintained **KUDOS to your management team��

Very impressed with spaciousness, quality of facilities, location near river and attractions in town. We walked to the hot springs. A little noisy near highway and railroad but overall a great place to stay!
Aug 31, 2022
Places was great other then road and train noise which you can’t control and still less then the other KOA I stayed at. Excellent front desk service and check in and staff always friendly!

This was advertised as a pull through site. However, due to the high curbing around the site, it took significant manuevering to get my 39' RV into this site. I would not recommend paying $100/night for a site that isn't easy to get in and out of. False Advertising.

I was very disappointed with the workers and the campsite. The campsite was so unlevel that my front tires were off the ground more than 6 inches!! The ground sewer pipe had been run over so much that we couldn't connect our sewer hose! As far as the workers, they seemed as though I was a bother to them than a customer. I had to ask twice for ice to be delivered. Not customer friendly!

Beautiful place, friendly staff, very accommodating!

Great campground that is well kept. The only challenge is the trains going up and down the canyon all day and night. Difficult to sleep.
Aug 29, 2022
The park is very nice and well maintained.The problem is it is next to a highway where semi trucks run including at night. If that wasn’t bad enough on the other side of the highway is train tracks that run trains at least every 2 hours. We counted one with 151 cars. We saw that the park was 12 miles away from the main highway 15 so assumed it would be quiet. WRONG

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.
