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.

Campsite was clean and well maintained. Employees were nice, but the constant "do this/don't do this or we'll fine you was a bit... off putting. But maybe the overall cleanliness was a result of those threats?! Overall a good experience and I'd stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay! We ended up having to use the facilities this time due to some issues with our toilet. Restrooms were clean and convenient! Staff was helpful and friendly as they always are! We will definitely be booking again next year! Thanks!

Beautiful location. Well maintained.

Condition of facilities exceeded expectations. Highway noise was very loud with semi jake brakes running throughout the morning, day, evening and night. Not as peaceful as what we would have liked but the cleanliness of the bath/shower house and sites made up for it. One other small negative is the $6.00 a night fee I had to pay for my ADA service dog.

We stayed in the most adorable Cabin! The facilities are kept pristine. The staff is super kind and helpful. The location is perfect and a short walk to anything you might need in town.
Jun 03, 2026
Everything was amazing. My only complaint would be that I wish the daily cost was lower.

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.
