Campground Reviews

Enjoyed the campground and the close proximity to town and the hot springs !

Great place, great hosts, everything was enjoyable. Only drawbacks were the trains and rail line work going on (noise) across the highway, and a bit of highway noise. But those are nothing anyone could do about, and common in the west if you're in a canyon. When work calms down, there'd be NO negatives! I would definitely stay here again, and in fact are planning it already for the spring !!

Service at desk was tremendous! Kind and friendly. Cabin was comfortable and patio was tremendous and nice to sit around the fire

The location and the staff were perfectly lovely. We stayed in a cabin which was clean and secure, and everything worked like it should. More importantly, it was just an 8-10 minute walk along the river to get to the hot springs.

It was pretty good, the campground was clean and the staff was great. The only issue I had was that the trains were too load and that was out of their control.

Super Nice place

We had a one night stay. Very clean park, clean bathrooms. Very short walk to the Lava Hot Springs. Down side is that there is quite a bit of traffic noise at night, but we would definitely stay again!

We stay with you several times each year and thoroughly enjoy it. However, this time we purchased Premium WiFi and found it not viable for more than one device, which was a bit disappointing.

We stayed just one Saturday night in site, #76. it wasn’t level and without unhooking our truck we couldn’t do more than level side to side, but it was okay enough. We slept well and glad that nearby road and train noise disappeared over night! I used the shower and must say it was the best in 3 months on the road! New, spotless, great water pressure; just heavenly!

Great stay just a little noisy with trains and highway so close.

Nice overnight stop. However, $4.75 for a load of laundry? Do better!

Very clean well looked after campsite. Great location for access to Lava Hot Springs town. Only downside was noise from the trains and trucks 24/7. Both train track and road run in front of the camp site.

It started with nickel and diming me for NOT wanting to be next to the main building and adding a pet fee (that was not previously disclosed). Then, charging DOUBLE for a supposedly less noisy location that was over the top noisy with the TRAIN TRACKS and the LOUD HIGHWAY. The TINY Pet enclosure was stinky even to me and had huge holes from previous animals digging. Absolutely the WORST stay!

Beautiful campgrounds! Friendly staff. Campgrounds well maintained and clean!

The park is well maintained. You can see all the hard work that goes into the lovely plantings and well maintained grass areas. Appreciated the clean bathrooms/showers, plenty of hot water.

There is a surprise $6 pet fee at check in, the first time I have ever paid such a charge at KOA. There is no nighttime lighting in the area i stayed. Facilities were very nice.

I paid for the premium wifi but they had free and that was not stated on the website. They both were not strong enough to stream anything. No one mentions how noisy it is from the trains and the I tartare right next to the campgrounds. The site itself it very nice and kept very clean. Nice bathroom and laundry facilities.

KOA Hot Lava East was absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect, everything was spotless, and the staff were not only professional but also incredibly friendly. We’ve always had great experiences with KOA, but this one truly stands out as the best yet. We can’t wait to come back!!

Our stay was very relaxing & the staff was very friendly. We will be back next year, thanks again.

the pull thru sites look getto, sparse grass & too narrow with old wheel buried in the ground for a fire ring, also dangerous because they are left open to fall into! Loud trains all night! The hike to the bathroom was way too far. Bathroom looked nice, but lots of water on the floor if someone showered, someone using a hair dryer could be electricuted! TERRIBLE STAY!

This is probably the nicest KOA we have ever stayed in. Each time we return more improvements have been made. We will definitely plan a trip there this next year. I highly recommend this campground!

Always a great place to stay
Sep 14, 2025
Everything was great. Host, bath rooms, the park, camp site. Everything, however HWY30 and trains was a mess. Loud mess. Jake brakes per Semi all night long and locomotives all the time as well. I would tell everyone NOT to forget your earplugs.
Sep 14, 2025
Was very clean & quiet place to stay. Like the trees & grass in our site!
Sep 14, 2025
Very well kept, clean showers and restrooms. The staff was real friendly and gave informative recommendations. Heavy commerce thru the area, recommend ear plugs or using an ambient sound device to mask the road and train noise. I’ll stay here again despite.

Very nice park on the Portneuf River. Short walk to downtown and hot springs.
Sep 13, 2025
Hiway and train track was very loud all night.
Sep 13, 2025
the KOA camp ground was right next to a railroad that ran 4 or 5 times during the day and 2 to 3 times a night and was at the bottom of a highway that truckers used frequently and with no Jake brake rules so very very loud, Other than that the camp was well groomed and clean with shade trees and plenty of room between trailer spots

Wonderful kabin. Perfect location!

Great place, great views. This is our second time here and we’ll be back

It is very nice campground in excellent location. For some reason, they could not extend our stay in campground that was only half full. Also they double prices on weekend.

We loved the KOA at Lava Hot Springs! Clean, friendly staff, and very well kept. I would recommend this KOA to anyone traveling through Idaho! Wish we would have booked for a longer stay.

The deluxe cabin was just what we wanted because we have stayed here before. But not having the gas firepit operating was very disappointing and was one of the reasons we returned to this location.

온천까지 걸어서 5분 정도의 거리에 있어요. 가본 캠핑장 중 가장 멋진 샤워시설을 가지고 있고, 깨끗하게 관리가 잘 되고 있습니다. 오피스와 약간 떨어져있는 자리는 나무가 작아서 그늘이 아쉽긴 해요

Really nice campground and staff. Just know that if you camp in the spring on the west side of the campground the cottonwood trees just dump fluff all over and tons of pollen. All of our stuff and inside of our trailer was covered in it. Also note that you will be right by the trains that go all night and blow their horns. Also the highway is really loud right there. Even inside our trailer we woke up multiple times from the noise. Nothing against the campground, just be prepared for sleep disruption.
