Beautiful scenery and very serene right on the river. I loved that it was right next to the town but it still was very secluded. Easy check in and nice amenities!

This is the best KOA we’ve stayed at, and we’ve been there twice. Our back in site was right next to the river and had a nice patio and grass. It’s only a short walk to the hot springs, raft and tube rental and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Everything was great. The staff was super friendly even helped us locate our spot. The staff in the gift shop were exceptionally polite and kind. I hate those trees, though they stick to everything and get all over the place. Very hard to get off your shoes. I’ll definitely stay here again, but not in May lol

For a short notice reservation this place was accommodating. The place was clean and the spots for large fifth wheel trailers were nice.

Beautiful area but is next to a busy road with lots of diesel truck and trailer traffic. Also across the road is train tracks with frequent train traffic.

My son had his tent in the back of the truck our first night, and it was so cold he moved it to the ground. We were charged an additional $50. The table at our camp site was teetering and unstable. The railroad tracks and traffic on the highway were loud all night long. We had a visitor for an hour in another car during our stay and the camp host came by and wanted us to pay for that vehicle.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your tent frustration. We encourage guests to book a site that accommodates a tent/RV combo to avoid extra charges. Thank you for bringing the picnic table instability to our attention. We ask visitors to stop by the office due to limited parking at sites

This is a wonderful KOA in a beautiful setting along the river. The site we stayed on, is new and we'll laid out. It is very evident the owners have invested a lot of time, energy, and money in making Lava Hot Springs KOA a wonderful destination people like us want to return to year after year. All sites here are large with room to relax and not feel crowded. The staff are thoughtful/supportive,

Beautiful cabin but the size of the futon was not made clear- was too small for an adult. Otherwise was clean and nicely decorated.

one night very clean great k9 area

Loved this spot! While the train was a bit to ignore - not impossible, the location and staff were fantastic! Easy walk into "down-town" and get a bite or a quick drink. While this was a one-night pass through stop, it is now on my list to go back and take time to enjoy.

Great park. Very clean.

Clean, quiet and private. Hosts were super friendly and helpful.

Staff was friendly. We love the area. The only negative about the campground is the coast for a load of laundry $5 for a small load of laundry?!? Who knows how much it cost to dry a load. We refuse to over pay to wash our clothes.

Love the campground, its staff and its walking access to "downtown" Lava. However, virtually no one obeys the speed limit, especially those descending from the eastern most section of the campground, which creates dust in the middle section.

Deluxe cabin was the best option for our family. Definitely will be returning agian.

Loved the property very clean staff was awesome! The battery on my pickup died and one of the maintenance guys help jump start my truck!

Only disadvantage if your a light sleeper is that the trains come frequently and blow their horns. No dedicated parking spots for the tent sites. But great site overall

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.
