Cabins were great location to the the hot springs or downtown. The RV or camping would be a decent walk walk away. The cabins themselves are good.

Great sites. Appreciated the extra room for our truck. The only negatives (and they’re unfixable) is proximity to highway and train traffic. Made it less enjoyable to spend time outside.

Loved the cabin Staff was friendly

Beautiful landscaping, great site. Easy walk to the Hot Springs Tubs. A lovely oasis in an unexpected spot. Visitors should be aware of road and train noise - however, we could also hear the flowing river!

What a beautiful campground! It’s located in a narrow Canyon so you are very close to the highway and the railroad tracks. If you don’t mind the noise, which we were fine with, you will enjoy your stay tremendously.

Very Nice campsites and clean campgrounds

We loved the thoughtful layouts of each of the sites--the patio furniture, grills, firepits--all great to have handy! The cabin we stayed in was kept very nice and clean and the staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful. The only thing that didn't measure up was our extended wi-fi purchase; it was slow, but didn't ruin the experience. :) Thanks for a great weekend!

We had a wonderful stay at the KOA cabin despite a cold, wet weekend. Our cozy cabin kept us warm and dry, heat worked great, and the hot shower was a godsend for warming up quick! Staff were very friendly and checked in to make sure we were comfortable. Despite the weather, we ended up having a perfect little getaway weekend—highly recommend!!!

Staff was great, but I had a tent spot, and there are trains that go by all night right next to the campsite. I needed earplugs to sleep. I love KOA's but I will never camp in a tent spot on east again. Maybe a little cabin but I imagine those guys are getting rocked by the train every night too... If it wasn't right next to the active train tracks and highway it would be ranked higher..

Your dog run was one of the best of the KOA campgrounds we stayed. Your showers could use slip guards and more places to hang or put ones clothes.

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 !!

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.

Very clean campground. Staff was very friendly and available.

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
Sep 26, 2025
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!

Very clean and with super helpful staff.

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.

Family really enjoyed the stay. Clean campsites and clean restrooms. Will definitely come back again.

We love this KOA. We've stayed there several times

Amazing campground. Very clean and such a friendly attentive staff. We can’t wait to go back

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.
Sep 17, 2025
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.
Sep 16, 2025
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!!
Sep 15, 2025
Our stay was very relaxing & the staff was very friendly. We will be back next year, thanks again.
Sep 14, 2025
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!

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.
