Campground Reviews

The box elder bugs were terrible on the upper camping sites. They really need to be sprayed earlier in the year. We love staying there, but hate the bugs. Also th sharp corners of the cement curbing should probably be shaved and morerounded. We hit one pretty hard and ruined a mud flap. I also witnessed another trailer who hit one of the corners pretty hard. Sites 204, 205, 97 is the problem.

Clean. Nice spots. Grass well kept. Full hookups very useful. Having additional bathrooms and showers is always nice. Plenty of parking in our spot.

Property sits between traintracks & hwy. We listened to jake breaking big trucks, multiple trains, & garbage truck ran at 6am right beside our campsite. After check-in, we found out that we couldn't access the river unless you booked a waterfront site. Make sure ask prior to booking, they wouldn't rent tubes because our children weren't old enough. The whole trip revolved around water-BUST at KOA.

The gentleman on the golf cart was extremely rude to us while we were trying to check in. We were put out in the annex. It was extremely loud between the highway and the railroad tracks. Ended up leaving a day early. Probably won’t come back.

The campground was very well kept by the staff. We got tent sites T15 & T16 by the river....I wasnt aware of an additional pet deposit until I got there. Other KOAs I've stayed at I didnt have one. So it was an exrra cost i wasnt expecting. The access to our campsites were downstairs & everyone in the campsite felt it was ok to walk thru our site to look at the waterfront. Camp etiquette was poor.

For the price of the cabin, tou should provide linen. Besides that it's a beautiful place.

The grounds and facilities are clean, well maintained and beautiful. 1 of the nicest koa we have stayed at. The issue would be the box elder bugs and infested trees on our site. Maintenence did come within an hour to spray but clearly Management knows this is not successful. Also the Riverview sites are covered in brush and there is no view.

We had the most wonderful time here! It was beautiful and cozy! We stayed 4 nights and spent all our time next to the river listening to the waterfall next to our fire pit. We grilled food every night. I will be staying here everytime we come to Idaho to see family summer or winter! The hot springs were very nice and clean as well.

The facilities are nice enough and staff were super nice, particularly Stetson. However, the location is not good. It’s right on the highway and the trucks use their air brakes coming down the mountain, as well as the freight trains rumbling by.

Clean place. Good folks behind the counter. A guest parked in my spot the day before so I ended up in a different spot than I wanted. That was a bit frustrating. The path to the hot springs was nice to not walk on the road. If you go, stop by and get some sourdough bread at Eruption brewery. Good food!

Beautiful KOA! We had a backin site along the river. Wished we could see the river but the site was great! The K9Kamp was well maintained with lush green grass. I would have given a higher rating if I hadn't been charged $6 for my dog. This is the first time in 30 years of being a KOA member that I've had to pay extra for a pet.

Very clean campground. Staff were friendly and helpful. The adjoining hot springs and restaurants are enjoyable. We camped in our pop up trailer so the train and vehicle traffic were noisy throughout the night but that is expected due to the local attractions.

Love coming here with our kids! They never want to leave.

KOA always has clean, safe campgrounds and amenities. The ladies at the front desk were welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time (day and night). I did sign up with Sensible Weather for a refund for rainy weather but they are arguing it didn't rain enough. I disagree and am in talks with them. BUT I would NOT recommend paying the extra coverage of Sensible Weather.

My camping cabin and nearby hot springs soak was a treat after a week of camping in Yellowstone. Thank you!

Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. At check in, would have preferred being given a choice of spots in the category we booked. The park was very empty and we were assigned a spot in full sun, while there were more desirable ones with shade in our category. We had already set up, so didn't ask to move. Next time, we will ask at check in.

Just a one night stay. the site was very nice. It's a very busy place.

Love the location of this KOA. Walking distance to anything we wanted, hot springs, water park, grocery store and more. Staff was super nice and campsite was great.

Always great we come back every year

The bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. Our site had a cement pad which was nice. My only complaint is the very active railroad tracks across the highway. Trains run throughout the night. Personally, I did not get much sleep.

Box elder bugs were awful we could not use our patio. When asked to move locations we were told campground was completely full. At no during our stay we they full. There were alot of empty sites.

We stayed in the expansion lot, which was actually very nice, new bath house, nice grassy areas with flowers for each site. Nested between the train track and the interstate, it was very loud. Fortunately, we were exhausted from our trip and crashed immediately after eating, and took off first thing next morning. Had we been there to relax and enjoy the area, it might have been more difficult.

Beautiful park! We stayed right in the river, it was so peaceful.

Thank you for another great stay! See you again next year.

Enjoyed our time in Lava Hot Springs but was hoping to stay in wooded area. Little disappointed that we had to park across the road; however, turned out better than expected as sites are larger and there is still access to the river. Very nice!

Great location walking distance to town but yet away from the crowds. Loved being close to river and camping with shade. The cabin was great too. Perfect for the rest of the family who came up later.

Quick overnight stay as we came through the area and enjoyed the Hot Springs.

The camp is clean and we'll organized. Staff is super friendly. Doggie friendly. We enjoyed our stay.Our only complaint is the box elder bugs. At our sites, they were thick! We couldn't sit down at the picnic table because they were covering it. Had to brush them off all our connection equipment.
Aug 18, 2026
The only problem was the in ground fire pits. In the dark it was like falling into a hole. Which I nearly did we covered it so I with our picnic table do no one would fall in especially in the dark. I think this is a gives safety hazard. Some one could really get hurt. I noticed some were several inches out of the ground but ours was an inch in the ground. I hope you fix those. Huge lawsuit.

Great campground.
Aug 17, 2026
Campground was nice and are is good. Sites are infested with box elder bugs and ownership won’t treat the problem. Still picking them out of the camper 3 days after leaving.

Staff is extremely friendly and even we’re kind to my nieces when they came in for hot chocolate. Very informative for my future reservation. Always felt welcome.

Very costly resort with not every site enjoyable. We sat outside our coach and had to pay monthly rate at 90.00 day almost 2000.00 mth. Train track across the street, hwy rd with 18wheelers using engine brakes constantly. Not an enjoyable stay. At least an hour and more to major attractions. Sites were nice but very noisy and much like a parking lot. We have stayed at many KOA but costly...

The cabins were very clean and a great size for what we needed. We loved the back deck and how close we were to the hot pots.

Very friendly staff and very accommodating!

Cabin is clean and the amenities work well. However, the bed was atrocious. The mattress was a camping mattress and was a few inches thick. This provided no support and ensured I got no sleep. The employee wasn't willing to do anything to comp us. The cabin can be perfect, but if I'm not sleeping it's terrible. The price per night is too expensive for an experience like that and won't come back.

We have always loved our stay here.

We visited this KOA in early fall after the summer rush, so the camp ground was pretty quiet and not full of campers. Check I was a breeze and the employees were friendly and helpful. There really aren't any bad sites here. Some are right on the river. The camp sites are all clean and level and the park was easy to maneuver in. The only con to staying here is the highway and railroad noise. Personally it didn't bother me at all, but if you're someone who needs quiet to sleep you're probably not going to get the best sleep here. Overall, this is a great KOA and I would highly recommend staying here.
