We loved the Campground and the Area! We will be back!

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.

Very relaxing and very enjoyable �

Very nice and well kept. The only drawback is that our campsite was right next to the highway and train tracks. What amazed me was the amount of traffic and semi trucks that use that road, it was very loud.

We come up every year in August and we absolutely love it here. The grounds are always kept up beautiful. And the spots by the river are the best!!! Our favorite

The cabin was great and the staff was very friendly. This was our third time visiting your KOA and we loved it! We always enjoy eating at the Thai restaurant and soaking in the Lava Hot Springs pools nearby.

Easily the best KOA we’ve used - and that’s saying a lot since we have stayed in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, and Wyoming! The staff is the best - so helpful and friendly, the grounds and views are phenomenal, and the bathrooms are clean and super accessible. We will be staying here again!

The staff was kind and friendly, and camp was clean. I liked the welcoming emails before my stay. The camp was quiet and bathrooms were always spotless. Thanks, we had a great time.

As a tent camper, I liked the sandy area for tents. What was not great was the 20+ stairs to get to the tent area from the parking area. Also, I didn't see any garbage cans in the east end of the site. Other downsides: Next to US 30 and near the bottom of a hill that a lot of semis use exhaust braking on; An active rail line on the other side of US 30. The shower facilities were very good.

Great stay! We stayed at the East KOA in 2024 for a short weekend as well and enjoyed Lava Hot Springs so much we had to return for a longer stay this year. The upgrades to the campsites and campground were nice. Definitely would recommend staying at the East KOA and enjoy a day of tubing the river!!!!

Loud party that went on past midnight that was not shut down by management. Trains all night long. Site was fine, it was the party that was the reason for a low rating.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Security was on site during your stay. Management will definitely be following up with security regarding the noise issue. Please feel free to contact the phone number on the map given to every guest at check in. All calls go directly to management after hours.

This is a new and very nice park. Close to the Lava Hot Springs and the Pool. There are trains that use the train tracks nearby.

Great hosts lovely spacious cabin. Great location. We will be back.

This was a terrible camping experience for us. The was no water on Saturday morning, so we had to go to the other KOA location in town to use the restroom. Then on Saturday afternoon we were sitting by the fire at our campground near the river and there were CONSTANTLY people entering the water right through our camp literally walking within 1 foot of our tent to get into the river.

Patio pull through site we were assigned was EXTREMELY difficult to get into with a 45' motorhome. I would never attempt to stay in one of these sites again with our RV. When I pay extra for a pull-through it is because they are expected to be easy in/out. Getting out was no problem, but the high narrow curbs and bumper poles make it very hard to get in.

The grounds are beautiful and clean. The noise from the trains is pretty noticeable, but I love trains so I didn’t mind. The hookups for our RV worked great, and the RV sites are generously sized. The trees are huge and gorgeous, and our site was right on the river, so pretty.

The campground was great. The facilities were always clean and the staff were happy to go out of their way to help you. Our grandsons loved camping there. It’s also a quick walk to the little town, water park and the hot springs.

The deluxe cabins are amazing, wonderful view of the river and very comfortable and cozy!

Overpriced for a small tent spot with no privacy. Restrooms were closed in the morning with water issues.

We stay here every Summer! The accommodation s are excellent as well as check in. Looking forward to next year's lava trip.

Met the owner and she was so nice. Water broke in bath house, but was fixed in a quick manor. Tiny cabins are so cute, next time I will stay there!

The people at KOA East are so much friendlier than West. My only complaint is that the stairs leading to T14 are a chore to load, unload etc. there was also a huge wasps nest in the tree above T15 so we were battling wasps all weekend. We will definitely be back!

Campgrounds are very well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful

The campground is clean, and the staff is professional and friendly. Nice location, although the highway noise is a bit much. Not a fan of KOA pricing and the nickel and diming of everything.

Had a nice large back in spot. Enjoyed the hot springs. The dog park was very nice also.

Friendly staff upon checking in and out.

Enjoyed our stay but we have a black motor home and the sprinklers were turned on and caused water spots all over the back. They are not easy to get off after sun has baked it on. It is a very nice park other than that sprinklers issue.

Great park in a beautiful setting. The only place we stay where we get our own parking spot next to the fifth wheel.

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.
