One night stay. A bit pricey but we were very pleased with our stay. Clean & quiet. We will likely stay again. 3.2026

Pleasant staff, quiet surroundings, clean facilities. Appreciated the easy walk to town

This a stunning campground with trees, a river and all the amenities. The hosts were so accommodating as we rolled in later in the evening. Restrooms & showers were clean and well maintained. The only drawback was the railway situated above and the lights & noise from the highway.

It was great! All the amenities and an easy walk to the hot springs and into town. Only downside were the loud trains that went by through the night, but I think anywhere in Lava Hot Springs would be impacted by that.

I Love our stay! Been here 4 times with my family already and it’s always so cozy and relaxing experience! Everything is walking distance!

The location was conveniently close to the hot pools and the cabin was warm and cozy and very nice with a really good view. We’ll definitely stay there again and recommended..

Cabin was nice. Frustrated that I was charged for having a service dog even though the website states service dogs are not considered “pets.” We were honest at reservation about having a service dog. We stated having a service dog at check in. Sad that this was not honored and we were still charged.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We don't charge a fee for a service dog and apologize for the misunderstanding at check-in. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The charge has been refunded. Please accept our sincere apology.

The cabin was great and would be very nice in the summer or fall when it is warm enough to enjoy the back patio.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review. We are hoping that you can book another stay during warmer weather so that you can enjoy that back deck experience.

Despite the cold weather in January the hot springs were great and just down the road from the little cabin we stayed at. The cabin itself was fun and different from a regular hotel or motel. Genuinely we had a blast staying there.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope you return again soon.

We were in a pickle with an Airbnb and they am in clutch! They were able to get us 2 cabins the day of!

So relaxing, everything was walking distance, clean, beautiful view! Loved it! This is our second time here and will continue to come every year! Thank you!

We arrived earlier than check-in time and they were awesome accommodating and letting us early check-in. They did what they could knowing that we had kids and love that it’s pet friendly so no one stays behind. I’ve been coming for over 10 years. Happy to see their expansion

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review. We strive to accommodate early check ins during our shoulder seasons as much as possible. We are very excited about the expansion project.

Clean accommodation with a beautiful view of the river. Also warm!

Great cabin. Loved the central heating as it was very cold outside. I appreciate that I can bring my dog.

The cabin we rented was very nice, clean, cozy, however the only thing we didn’t like was the TV was mounted so high, you neck was strained back while watching it, while chilling with our favorite spirits.

Had a great time. Loved the cabin.

Nice campground! Liked the spot next to the river. Staff was courteous and responsive to our needs. Would certainly stay there again. Highly recommend.
Nov 01, 2025
So relaxing to hear and watch the flow of the river and watching the colors of the leaves falling. Beautiful!

The people who work the desk are great. Very helpful and responsive. There was a leak in our water faucet. We informed the young man at the desk and it was fixed the next morning. The sites are modern and clean. All in all, a great place to stay.

Nice, clean area. I love how close it is to the hot springs. My only dislike is that it has a train track that runs all night very close to it that is very loud when trying to sleep. I wish there was a disclaimer somewhere to bring my ear plugs.

I was disappointed that no one mentioned the hot springs were closed. That was the main reason for my visit. Too bad.
Oct 29, 2025
Arrived late but found our spot and had a good night’s sleep. The location is lovely with lots to do. Hope to return sometime and stay longer.

Great service and good facilities, thank you.

We love this park. It’s always clean and well maintained. Plus, the staff is friendly and helpful.
Oct 26, 2025
Loved it so much! Though I did overpack a bit. Perhaps you can update the listing to reflect that there are dishes, soap, toilet paper, etc. And that propane for the grill isn't included. But it was an excellent location and all of the staff were so kind and accommodating. We'll definitely be back!

The ambience of the cabin on the river was incredible. It was quiet, beautiful serene.

We love staying at East KOA! The staff is always amazing, the place continues to impress us. We definitely will continue coming back.
Oct 20, 2025
Love this KOA, it is very clean, fun & the staff is super nice. We do wish they would put gravel or something at the entrance of the dog park so it's not always muddy.

It was good. I sent a review for Livingstone and had the two mixed up.. It was Lava Hot Springs that didn't have nature type trails. But everything else was nice.
Oct 17, 2025
Very nice, well kept campground. Highway is super noisy at the upper end by site 208.
Oct 15, 2025
Love it here. Can’t believe this gem is here!
Oct 15, 2025
It was gorgeous and beautifully kept up. We appreciate the calls in the evening warning of a freeze. You folks do a great job.
Oct 14, 2025
We had another lovely stay. After a rough first night with some noisy issues related to our cabin (not the traffic noise--that didn't bother), the staff went above and beyond to help us get into one that was a good fit for us. Thank you for a great time in Lava!
Oct 13, 2025
Personnel at check-in were on top of what they were doing creating a welcoming environment. The KOA clean and orderly, people friendly. Great stay see you all again. Thanks for the awesome Hospitality.

The camping sites are great! A little close together, but otherwise okay. The problem you have is the fire pits that are buried in the ground. They are a hazard and a liability! When it’s nighttime and dark, you cannot see them. We almost tripped and fell in one. This is an accident waiting to happen! The kettle type are much nicer and much safer!! You have a liability issue!
Oct 13, 2025
We love staying here, except for the noise from the highway and the trains. The facility is nice and kept up well.
Oct 12, 2025
We enjoyed the stay very much. Next time I would choose a cabin that was not as close to the highway.

Great employees, nice parking spots, close proximity to the springs and downtown. Only place we will stay!!
Oct 10, 2025
Nice campground, our site was just to close to the cabin next to it.

Great location for walking to hot springs. Very clean and organized. The office staff was outstanding.

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.
