Beautiful camp site along the river. Nice and clean facilities, including group area and playground. Pricey but a great location. Noise from trains day and night (everywhere in this little town).

Been coming here for years even before it was koa. Cottonwood campground. Now the place is nice and upkept but you are taking every available chunk of land and putting cabins on it or more rv sites. It’s also become very expensive to come to lava. What once was $30-$50 a night has now doubled if not more! I like the place but with the space lost and the prices we pay now it makes trips limited.

This was such a beautiful campground nestled into the trees next to the river. We had a premium spot on the river and would highly recommend! Staff was friendly, campground was clean, and a walking distance to town. Will be coming back!

Cabin was clean and we definitely enjoyed our stay, the only complaint i have is they could be furnished a little better. Like actual cups, utensils, plates, bowls etc and dish towels for 4 people if the cabin has accommodations for 4.

Lava KOA East was the best! We stayed at the west one the first night and didn’t like it at all. This one was way better and the staff was way cooler! Definitely staying there again next year!

Really nice place. One minus is highway and railroad noise. I got along fine as I travel with ear plugs.

Nice location. Clean. Nice patio. Two very uncomfortable chairs however. Nice people there and pleasant place.

Friendly and personal service! On our second night, a group of 10+ people pitched seven tents in the two spots next to us (way over the limit). The managers quickly rectified the situation so we didn't have to drive 7 hours at 6 pm to get home. We really like the cabins and tent sites, but will try to avoid the busiest summer weekends next time.

A beautiful park, in a popular area of Idaho. Close to town and tourist attractions. The sites are shaded, and facilities are very clean and well maintained. It is also close to the road and adjacent railroad track, so there is noise. But it’s our only complaint; everything else was very nice.

2 day get away was so fun. The cabin had everything you needed. My family of 4 was so comfortable.

We learned on the morning we were checking out that there were bathrooms and showers available to use with a code we were never given. Our suburban also sustained damage from a flying table from another camp in a wind storm. For the price we paid, we would definitely not stay here again. Lava Hot Springs was great, but not so much the KOA.

Some amenties in the deluxe cabins would be nice (at least a bar of soap, and possibly also pillows, towels, sheets). The mattress was unbelievably squishy.

Clean & great location to activities in town.

Lovely little campsite. Very clean, decent space and accessible to downtown activities. My only suggestion is to have a place for my things in the shower room - a table, stool or something. If someone was disabled, I'm not sure how they'd manage.

Great place to stay! We usually come to Lava in the winter and didn't anticipate we wouldn't be able to find a hotel in the summer. Decided to tent it at the KOA instead and was not disappointed! 5 minute walk to downtown, the bathrooms and showers were clean, we had a nice little spot in the corner, it was perfect!

Our stay was amazing! Bathrooms had private shower included and were maintained very well. Front office made check in very easy and helped with any questions. Location was great with the river directly behind with a tube float available. Had an amazing time!

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.
