Campground Reviews

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.

Was very clean & quiet place to stay. Like the trees & grass in our site!

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.

Hiway and train track was very loud all night.

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

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.

I enjoyed my stay. I thought the cement in different spots was a trip hazzard. There seemed to be a lot of raised curbs near campsites

Everything is clean and well maintained. Recent improvements were very well done. Beautiful place!

Other than the couple fighting in the upper tent parking area and the guests with the 2 barking German Shepherds, our stay was good. The wife and I stay here every time we visit Lava. Michael did a great job escorting and traffic control.

This was my first time staying at this KOA. I was happy they allow one night stays and it’s an easy walk to town. Camp sites and cabin were clean and KOA staff were wonderful.

Park is well maintained and in a beautiful surrounding. Only complaint would be the traffic noise.

Everyone was helpful and informative the cabin was clean

Great rv park. Clean and very well kept. The only drawback is being right by the train tracks with a constant stream of trains all night.
Sep 05, 2025
Nice people at check in. Restroom, showers were clean and pleasant. The whole camp ground was in great shape. Hook ups were convenient. Proximity to hot springs was good.

Park is well maintained. Highly recommended.

Lovely site, excellent facilities.

It is nice to see a great camp ground put some money back into the facility.

We love staying at the KOA in Lava Hot Springs. My only complaint is the terrible choice of where to plant trees in the tent sites. If memory serves me correct new trees were added two years ago and instead of planting them on the boundary lines between tent sites like T6-TS5 someone had the terrible idea to plant them right in the middle wasting quality camping space for no reason.

Extremely overpriced, extremely crowded, noisy trains, nearby, and tight little spots not really my vibe when camping
Sep 02, 2025
The beds are small and uncomfortable. And I wish there was a grassy area for gathering rather than all rocks. Like that there is reserved parking. Value is low for price we paid.
Sep 02, 2025
Assigned space extremely small, fires should be banned, extremely noisy with highway and train route adjacent to the campground. Out of control neighbors (music, kids running through campgrounds. speeding vehicles) Also, extremely overpriced. This is a very poor location for a campground if you want to relax. Hookups were good and campground is clean.

We just pulled in for an overnight stay, as the place we had booked was a bit sketchy. We were lucky Lava Hot Springs had a spot for us, as it was Labor Day Weekend. We didn't use any of the amenities since it was a short stay. It is a great place for families, lots to do with a water park just down the road, with another KOA available.

We had a group of 4 in cabin L47 on a Thursday night. So not a lot of other people around. The cabin is very nice, large bathroom with shower, large patio with a view of the waterfalls, away from town but not too far to have a good walk, 4 convenient places to sleep. Check in was easy and all the people that we encountered were very nice. We hope to go back again soon.

Would’ve been five stars, but charging an extra six dollars for a cat is ridiculous! Especially after paying the most I’ve ever paid for a KOA.

The facilities were in great condition and had lots of upgrades since our last stay. Clean showers and grounds are greatly appreciated. Please consider working with Lava Hot Springs to eliminate skunks in the area. Their smell was quite noticeable & they are rabies carriers. Also, it would be nice if Lava Hot Springs prohibited the use of engine brakes by semi-trucks passing through town.

Great location to the hotel springs and river tubing. We had a great site #223, private grass area, cement area, tables & chairs & fire pit. The best showers we've seen yet at any campground. We had some troubles and had to push our reservation back a day, and they were so cool about it. Loved this place.

Really clean and well kept park. Very nice and helpful staff.

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, clean park.

I had a wonderful stay at Lava Hot Springs KOA. There was some construction going on by my camping cabin & they upgraded me to a regular cabin which was nice. The facilities were clean & the campground was quiet and oh the view of the mountain was awesome. The KOA was within walking distance to the Hot Springs & town. Staff was great. I really enjoyed my stay here at the KOA. I will be back.

Always clean friendly

You have priced yourself out of business especially KOA WEST. It's ridiculous. This isn't Vegas! Mary's RV Park is looking good.

Beautiful, quite surroundings. Nice staff.
Aug 25, 2025
We loved the Campground and the Area! We will be back!
Aug 25, 2025
we did not have a reservation and luckily they had a pull through site for us. Check-in was easy, quick, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was nice and quiet. The grounds were very clean and bathrooms were also very clean. I loved how they have really made improvements there, the staff seem to care a lot about the appearance of the KOA grounds. Definitely will be going back.

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.
