The cabins were clean and the grounds were nice. However , the cost of the cabin is insanely overpriced. At $300 a night I could stay at an upscale hotel that provides linens, towels, maid service, and breakfast. You need to reconsider your pricing as it’s so far off. I won’t stay again.

The camp ground was beautiful, the staff friendly and the proximity to the Hot Springs and town were great. We have already begun planning our next trip to Lava Hot Springs East KOA

KOA staff were very helpful during check in and check out. We really liked the deluxe cabins, they were clean and functional and you couldn't hear the kids laughing and playing from the outside. We used the firepit and like the table and chairs on the patio. Was nice to have a playground for the kids.

Staff was very nice and helpful, however the campground was over crowded and somewhat raucous!! Perhaps it was because we were there on a holiday weekend (July 4th) and we were just passing through for the night, however I was a bit disappointed in how out of control it was. We were happy to leave early the next morning.

Great location can’t wait to come back!

The campground itself was great! The staff were super friendly and the bathrooms were amazing! I’d never seen the sink, toilet and shower in each stall. However, that train…. I know you can’t control it but complimentary ear buds would be nice. I probably got about 3 hours of off and on sleep.

Rented two cabins and a rv space for 3 nights. Pretty pricey but nice.

I reserved campground #213. When we arrived, the staff took it upon themselves to move me to #212 (without notifying me prior to doing so) all because the lady in #212 threw a big fit that she wanted #213. The customer service in that part was very unacceptable. Therefore I would not recommend this campground to anyone in fear that they will do the same thing to them.

Wasn't very happy being on the highway and the railroad track. We stayed by the dog poo kennel and there were gobs of dog hair all over the grass. Someone brushed there dog there and didn't clean it up. It was gross. Other than that the camp spots were very clean and looked nice.

Recently stayed four nights during the Fourth of July festivities. Staff was great, service was easy. If I have one suggestion for improving a guests stay in the cabins along the river: is please install blinds or something for the window above the door, the triangle window. The sun comes through fast and fierce in the early mornings and it hurts. Other than that 5/5. Thank you so much KOA East!

Super nice people. Our site was great except that the sewer and electricity hookups were too far apart for us to use both at the same time. They tried to get an extension for our power, b ut nothing worked as it was 50 amp power Z(if it had been 30 they had an extension). They were very helpful but our trailer just didn't fit in this site to hook everything up at once. Nice clean bathrooms.

We love to stay here. It’s clean and everything goes smoothly.

I was very disappointed with my stay at Lava Springs KOA. The individuals in the adjacent campsite blocked my camper in and were constantly in my site. Security had to come multiple times to make people move. I have to say security did respond to the issues but it was not a good experience overall. Tent campers shouldn’t be allowed to use paved RV sites.

Love it here!!!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Grounds are well taken care of bathrooms are clean. Quiet and shady will definitely stay again.

Normally I would rate you guys very high but not this time. For the past 8+ years upon checking in we book out the following year with you guys. Well when I went to reserve my spot for the following year the gal mentioned that our spot was already reserved AND the rest of the camp ground was reserved. So now after 8 years we won’t be coming back to you guys. Very frustrating.

This place has been expanded and improved since the last time we stayed several years ago. The bathrooms are always clean, plenty of fun activities there and close by.

The campground was nice lots of shade, but the camp sites are extremely small for how much u pay their were people parked in our spot that were not with us because they didn’t have enough room in their spot kids that were not with us were riding their bikes through our camp site and walking through our camp. There were just way to many people for how many camp sites they had it was a cluster.

Best I've ever seen this park look and we've been coming here for decades. The upgrades this year were very nice, lots of work for you, but certainly added to the park. Bathrooms looked very nice! Only complaint is location of sewer hookups - our son would usually pull his RV in the opposite direction so our doors face, creating a compound especially nice when we have small children. See u in 2025

Office staff was so helpful! Campground is quiet and the cabin was wonderful!

The campground very nice, however I have booked the patio sites throughout the country very disappointed these patio sites do not include an umbrella at the dining table. Couldn’t use patio because of the sun. Wasted money for the site. Will remember for next year as we travel through the lower part of country

The staff did a fine job and they were accommodating, my disappointment lies in the overall location with the highway and train tracks that are extremely close and loud. The grounds are clean and they are making nice improvements on site. If you want a quiet nite, go try the west camp site.

We love staying here every time we visit lava hot springs. Staff is Friendly and always ready to help you with any of your needs.

On Monday 7-2 there was no water when we woke up. There was nothing from the park to us about no water and it turns out they turned it off for “pump maintenance “. Only notice was a sign on the shower house door that be off til 10. Unbelievable.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We called everyone that morning and even knocked on doors of the people that did not answer. We're sorry we missed not contacting you.

Nice campground nice facilities and nice staff but I would never stay there again as it is right next to the highway and train tracks so if it's not a train whistle all night long it a Jake brake or a muffler just awful

We had family in town so we camped at KOA. All the kids had fun at KOA. Friendly helpful staff. Clean bathrooms. Tidy campground.

Everything was good except for a few guests that drove loud utvs around the property. I feel those should be banned from the camp. Might as well allow 4 wheelers and motorcycles. More showers needed for the amount of people also.

Nice park, right on the Portneuf river for fishing and walking distance from hot pools and the Lava strip.

We took a last minute trip with our travel trailer. We booked the patio site about an hour before we got there. Staff was amazing. We had a back in river front site. They have concrete patios with a nice fire bowl and table and chairs. Our site was fairly level side to side but the pitch front to back was not. It really sloped toward the tongue area. We were glad we brought an extra block for the tongue jack to sit on. There is a nice pet area and play area for kids in the upper section. If you are in the river front area, you have plenty of fishing options. The cabins look beautiful and there are plenty to choose from. The bathrooms were spotless and same for the showers. My husband was carrying trash to the trash containers and staff asked if they could take care of it for him. They keep the place very clean. There is a nice group picnic area by the laundry room and there are extra bathrooms at the other end of the campground. The only negative would be the trains going by at all hours, even during the night. They have a nice walking path to go to town but it was closed while road work was being done. We will definitely be back.
