We were traveling from Oregon to Colorado. This KOA was clean and quiet. We had a beautiful site on the River. The site was within an easy walk to town and the hot springs.

Deberían proporcionar almohadas y ropa de cama. La cocina comunal debe tener implementos al menos ollas y sartenes.

Loved our stay, but as an elderly couple, my husband and I had difficulty getting in and out of the tub, as there are no handles to grip and no mat in the tub.

Enjoyed everything, but felt kind of isolated since we were out in the "Extension."

Everything was wonderful other than very close to Highway and train tracks

The ground itself is very beautiful. What we disliked about it was all the noise from the trains that ran most nights and from the highway that’s so close to the area we stayed at.

We apologize that the location of the campground didn't meet your expectations. Unfortunately, the train and highway noise is heard throughout out beautiful little valley.

Our stay was amazing. Extremely friendly staff and the site we got was right next to the river.

4 nights. Great staff. Great upgraded sites all around. clean bathrooms and showers. nice people staying there as well. I would like to see trash recepticles in the older section and the playground in the newer section needs a couple more items as there were only two things there for kids to use. otherwise it's great!

Great KOA. Friendly staff, clean restrooms, close to town. Our favorite place to stay! Right by the river as well. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful view! We spent a few wonderful days; the cabin was very clean and cozy. A very quiet and safe place! I recommend it.

Such a wonderful spot for the whole family. Couldn’t believe how clean the campgrounds and bathrooms were. Loved the patio at our RV site and the staff was amazing.

The location is great! The staff was friendly and helpful. The campsites are clean well kept. The only downside is they are too close together and no room for parking. I would have given 5 stars if the campsites gave a little room so that I didn't have to hear the nieghbors dogs winning and crying when they left them. Also could'nt have a fire as our fire pits too close to cars parked.

The campground is very pretty especially the sites next to the river. we enjoyed our stay and will come back again. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because we had my stepdaughter's birthday party and she had some friends stay and after paying the parking pass and per person charge they still had to pay for a tent and I thought that was a bit much after the cost of the site.

Our campsite was one of the best on our 8 different states trip. Well maintained & relaxing, even if the dog of the previous occupants of the site left a present by the tree! Fn Rude! If you bring a pet, fine, just clean up after it & keep them on a leash! Those aren't my rules, it's the campgrounds. Whiles the train is a little noisy, I kinda felt it was just part of the setting. No biggie!

Beautiful location! Staff was friendly and you can walk to the hot springs from the site.

It was a great little place to spend some time with our kids. The only thing we didn't get to do was a fire for some s'mores due to it being windy.

This is a really nice campground with shady, level sites. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the hot springs and town with a short connecting trail. It is a bit noisy, being close to the highway and railroad tracks, but that is unavoidable. The only detractor for us is the size of the K9 corral. It would be nice to have one with room to run or toss a ball.

This was our 3rd trip back! We love the location and it’s proximity to town. We can walk everywhere.

Very relaxing!

Camping site next to the river is also next to the road. Quite noisy. But the site was close to the hot springs.

The whole process is easy, the employees are kind and helpful and it's always clean and tidy. We love this place.

Had a nice quiet week! Coming back with my 90 yr old mother this weekend. This is my favorite place to go with my motorhome! I come hear at least once a year. Very peaceful place with nice people.

Awesome

Very nice spacious site, very friendly staff! I don't know what, besides the river, constitutes this place as a holiday because there are only a few random amenities, but the proximity to the water park and hot springs and river floating are worth it. Very nice and well maintained KOA!

We loved Cabin L49’s location away from the road and along the river. Really loved how the entry and patio faced the river. Really appreciate the clear info on linens and the reminder call before our arrival. Campground & cabin was well taken care of, loved the close proximity to town. Only wish would be for better storage in the cabin, maybe a bench/ledge near the entry door for bags & shoes.

The bathrooms & showers were fantastic! The gentleman that came everyday to clean out our firepit was awesome!

Nice campsites. There was some confusion when I requested a paved site. I did not know I also needed to request a paved site with paved patio. We got a paved site without the paved patio. Maybe, when talking to KOA employees making these requests there should be more specifics.

Brand new sites in the expansion. Nice restrooms and showers. Fun view of the trains going by. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were able to walk to town which was nice. The main grounds had the dog parks which was terrific but it would be and I hope they refine the trail between the camps. Glad we stayed, fortunately for us we camped close enough to the river that we could hear it.

Loved the deluxe cabins. Great views of the river. Very clean with friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!

Lovely, clean grounds and updated luxury cannon too. Super staff. Perfect and met every need we had during our stay.

Lovely staff, very well maintained campground, the campgrounds along the Portneuf River are very relaxing and convenient to downtown Lava Hot Springs. The only downside is the train traffic that runs all night long. Bring noise canceling headphones, heavy duty earmuffs or really good ear plugs. It’s worth it!

On the Hwy and train tracks. So noisy can’t sleep the people there will make eye contact with you and then look the other way. I’ve never seen a KOA like that. OK the bathrooms are clean and the trash was picked up, but I would never stay there again their excuse for having no activities for the kids not even a swimming pool is they have so much going on in town that is not necessary.

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.
