We stayed in Deluxe cabins. This is our second year here. The owner Anne was very nice and attentive. Cabins are super cute and clean.

Excellent campground, wonderful staff , beautiful bathroom and overall great experience! After staying at multiple KOAs over the past few weeks, this one ranks in the top!

The KOA and its facilities are very nice. There were lots of variety of places to stay for campers, cabins or few tent sites. The location is near a very loud interstate and very, very active railway, so the noise was almost unbearable if you are in a tent. I'm sure the campers and cabins have a better experience. If you are staying in a tent, bring ear plugs.

We are full timers and stay at KOA often. We have never been to a KOA that charges for Internet and pets. Furthermore, we didn’t realize that the weekend rate began on a Thursday night. it is a rip off to charge for Internet these days, especially when the rate is already over $100 a night.

The campground itself is great. However, we did not enjoy our particular space, 205. It felt smaller than the rest and oddly shaped.

Teenage staff seemed like they were just there to collect a paycheck. Adult staff were more friendly. Tent site was okay, not great, but okay. Restrooms/showers were nice. Proximity to the highway is definitely NOT a plus. I should have thought about that before I booked a place.

Our family had a great weekend stay at the KOA East in Lava. The four person cabin was clean and provided plenty of space for our small family. Walking into town is a little bit of a trek, but not terrible. There was some road and train noise at night.

This is one of our favorite family vacation spots! The young man that checked us in was very helpful. My group had 4 spots. Unfortunately the young lady that checked my daughter in was not nice at all. First time we’ve had that problem. The spaces are pricey but it’s a clean well kept campsite.

Awesome cabin! Perfect location next river tube rentals and at the start of the river run! Family had a blast!

This was the 3rd time we have arrived and found our site so muddy from over watering besides having to drive and park in the mud and no parking place get in and out without stepping in it. Most gravel site are not level making leveling your rig much harder. Staff mows the lawns while trying to enjoy being outside kicking up dust. Other guests would continue to drive faster than 5/mph kicking dust.

I have stayed here many times, but this is the first time I have stayed in the new area. Pro's: Love the size of the spaces and the patios and grass. Con's: the drain for the sewer line is up on the curb and line kept falling off and didn't drain right. Fire pit placed right next to the RV and too heavy to move. Chairs for table were worn out. Gravel difficult to ride bikes on - too loose.

We stayed in the cabin. It was small, but very comfortable. The only improvement I would see would be when we filled a trash bag to set it out in front very early in the morning and it would be picked up. All trash bins were very full. I also rented the pavilion which would’ve been nice to have an empty trashcan located there. The one there was over running, we were asked to make sure lid closed

I loved the site we were in.Everything was very clean. The staff was nice and helpful.Next time we want to stay longer.

It's a great place to stay, the staff does a great job, the town is close to walk to. The only issue we had was people walking through our site to the tent sites, people going to fast and kicking dirt and dust.

Amazing!! The new tiny house cabin was so comfortable and convenient. Your house keeping staff needs a raise because the place was Immaculate! Only negative we have is you need to find a way to slow traffic through the camp site area. A child will be hit and killed if not addressed. Also speeding vehicles made it dusty. Thank you for everything. It was a great stay!!

It was a great stay. But quiet hours are a bit of a joke on the weekend.

The cabins were clean and the grounds were nice. However , the cost of the cabin is insanely overpriced. At $300 a night I could stay at an upscale hotel that provides linens, towels, maid service, and breakfast. You need to reconsider your pricing as it’s so far off. I won’t stay again.

The camp ground was beautiful, the staff friendly and the proximity to the Hot Springs and town were great. We have already begun planning our next trip to Lava Hot Springs East KOA

KOA staff were very helpful during check in and check out. We really liked the deluxe cabins, they were clean and functional and you couldn't hear the kids laughing and playing from the outside. We used the firepit and like the table and chairs on the patio. Was nice to have a playground for the kids.

We camp several time in East KOA.That is our best camping destination and Stay ever.Very clean, lot of improvements,all staff very nice,friendly and polite.BIG Kudo for all of them.We will be definitely back.

Staff was very nice and helpful, however the campground was over crowded and somewhat raucous!! Perhaps it was because we were there on a holiday weekend (July 4th) and we were just passing through for the night, however I was a bit disappointed in how out of control it was. We were happy to leave early the next morning.

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.
