First class people in the office. The grounds are clean and neat. Showers were large clean and private. The layout of the land is really cool the trees are large and provide shade. I would come and stay again and would recommend it to everyone for a great experience.

It was fine but there was construction, it is next to main road, and trains! River was great but campsites are close together. We stayed for two nights and the second night a trailer pulled in and set up right next to us with not another vehicle in sight. Seems like they could have spread us out a bit. We still had fun but there are a few things (mostly the camper right next to us) that were bad

Absolutely beautiful upgrades. We have stayed there for years but this was the best experience!! Impressed with everything but the dog yard could be made bigger. We will stay again next year!

We loved this KOA! It is in the most gorgeous setting, with lots of shade trees, and with the running river providing the most amazing white noise in the background. We stayed in a tiny house lodge, along with the triple tent site, and it was the best cabin and tent site we have EVER stayed in; and we've stayed at a lot of KOAs. The staff here go above and beyond, and it shows. Highly recommend!

Staff was nice. Park was clean. Tent spots are small and bathrooms are far from tent sites

Please is very clean. For the most part peaceful. Only issue we had was the amount of barking dogs and poop around,

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We take concerns like excessive barking and cleanliness very seriously. It is unfortunate that we didn't hear about these problems while you were here. We would have acted quickly to address them.

I paid $233 for just one night in a deluxe cabin at Lava Hot. I find it in very poor taste to pay for an exclusive cabin, only to find that the dishes were dirty when I used them. I had to wash them before using them because they were in their place in the cabinet, but they were covered in grease. I leave all the dishes washed in the zinc, when it's not my job.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. Your dirty dish encounter is definitely not our standard. Cleanliness is our top priority. We wish we would have been given the opportunity to address the issue during your stay. Our team immediately would have resolved the situation had we been notified.

Always a well kept park. Owners take pride in their investment and are very accommodating. One of the best KOA’s we’ve parked our motorhome.
May 26, 2025
We loved everything about it, we go every year. But boy it’s getting expensive for a campsite. Otherwise we love it
May 26, 2025
we had a tent site and i liked it but we could barely get our tent up with minimal room .we had a large mobol home on one side and a tent on the other we had no room to sit in front of our tent to relax it was like being in a parking stall for tents . anyway the employees were nice but they had no knowledge of the construction had blocked the trail to town off so we walked the highway to town.

Very nice campground. Well maintained and clean. Love the private dog runs for some of the RV spots. The only complaint I have is the railroad tracks next to the location. Trains were very loud and ran all night long.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. The train is essential transportation in our region. We acknowledge the impact it can have. Unfortunately, the noise amplifies due to the natural geography of the valley. We are always open to ideas and exploring feasible ways to mitigate the noise.

If it weren’t for the trains and Hwy 30 traffic, it would’ve be perfect! The scenery was beautiful. Our site was basically level. The showers had hot water very quickly and were clean. We were able to sleep through the traffic & trains. It would’ve been nice to know about it in advance. We did extend our stay by one day and didn’t move to another campground, so it wasn’t a deal brea

Beautiful setting, very well maintained grounds and facilities! Love the individual bathrooms, game-changer!

The nicest KOA we have camped at! GREAT staff and sweet location. We will go out of our way to stay here again!!

Check out time is way too early. Didn't even have time to make breakfast on our last day. It was not relaxing to leave by 11 am. Campsite was clean. Will probably stay somewhere cheaper next time.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your feedback. The 11 am check-out may seem early, but it is necessary for us to prepare the site for the next arrival. Your river frontage patio site included pitching a tent in the base price. We have more budget friendly options available for those looking for a less expensive stay

Beautiful, well maintained and the staff couldn’t have been more wonderful. Bathrooms were very clean.
May 14, 2025
It was very noisy due to the construction and we had to check out a day early because you lost your power and water

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for the inconveniences. We are monitoring the construction project and trying to keep guests as far away from the construction site as possible to help alleviate disturbances. The power outage was due to downed lines caused from wind that day. It was restored within 2 1/2 hours.

I stayed 2 weeks. Maybe a little too strict on charging for an extra Hour for checkout. I stayed 2 weeks, and needed an extra 2 hours to do something online for work. I was charged $20+. The campground was empty as well. Spoiled the ending of as good time.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry! Staff is trained and instructed to charge late check out fees. Management will be in contact with you.
May 13, 2025
Power & water went out about 2:00pm Sunday and were restored within 2 hours. An email or text notification regarding the outage and the restoration, would have been appreciated. Very few guests obey the speed limit, which creates more dust on the unpaved sections.

Quiet Koa with friendly staff willing to help.
May 12, 2025
It's a nice place. $56.00 is bit much for a tent spot, especially when I slept in my car. I was grateful I had a bathroom and water and electric. I felt safe. I was traveling alone. Thank you.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review and for staying with us. We strive to provide amenities that guest need and a safe environment.

my husband and i had a great time here!

I was disappointed that our site did not have a grill. All other spots had the elevated grill. The whole park is extremely nice. We had a 17’ trailer and car…..there was no place to put car……if park would have been crowded we would have had a problem. That should have been communicated to us. Coming into Lava from the west we have always gone through town…..the road is closed….commu

Fantastic place.

Lovely campground with an easy walk downtown. absolutely love the serenity and watching the river flow by.
May 05, 2025
We had 15 people in our group. Some in RV's and some needing cabins. The place was spotless and the ladies that help with our checkin were amazing.
May 05, 2025
The staff changed our trailer site to a pull through instead of a back-in that was also close to a tent site for another member of the family making it convenient for us. The grounds were clean and we loved the mature tree's and being next to the river. The proximity to town made it easy as well. I had an overall great experience and highly recommend staying at the location if you are going to s

The front desk staff was extremely helpful. The gift shop was well stocked and even had some RV supplies that we were in need of. The campsite was extremely clean and there were a lot of amenities.

As a VIP member, this has been the best park in the system in five years.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lava Hot Springs KOA! The campground is beautiful, the amenities are fantastic, and everything was clean and well maintained. We ended up arriving a day early and had two different campsites during our stay, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and made the transition from one site to the other incredibly smooth. Their customer service was outstanding, and we had zero problems throughout our visit. We truly enjoyed our time here and appreciated how friendly and helpful everyone was. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Lava Hot Springs KOA to anyone looking for a great camping experience!

Great place to stay. Lots of activities around the area. Perfectly located out of the busiest areas, yet close to everything you need. Staff is great and facilities were very clean! Bathrooms are a good way to judge how well kept a place is and they're nice and clean. There is a train track that runs parallel to highway right next to the location, but nether were too much to handle.
