Campground Reviews

Great place to stop and take a break in Idaho. Super cute town, lava hot spring very relaxing and tubing is so fun! Campground and showers super clean and friendly staff!

It is ridiculous to charge $6.00 per dog per night. I won't be staying at this KOA ever again. I cleaned up after my dogs and brought and used my own pet bags for their waste. All the other KOA's and other RV parks have NEVER charged for pets.

The cabin was super clean, staff were all very friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay here and will come again.

The kids loved playing in the river all day! Our hosts were amazing!

The younger man at the front desk check in was very rude. We had bought a pipe for our toilet and realized it was missing the connection. When we tried to return within just minutes he said no returns rudely then we asked if we could just exchange and pay the difference for the more expensive one. He no returns. If he would have just said sorry it would have gone a long way but he was just rude.

We kept being charged for things like extra people which was disturbing. It happened twice. We paid for whom ever stayed with us

Loved the shade from trees, nice pull through spots. Grassy areas. Highly recommend. Only thing is playground needs more for kids to do.

Great campground in LAVA. Wish there was more shade on the top side of the campground, but overall we had a great experience! We come back every year!

I reserved a back in spot near the pet area but the park changed it to a pull through without my knowledge. When I asked about it at check in I was told “it’s how it is now”. It was a rude response in my view. I said I had pets but the area they put me did not have a pet area. No trees. It didn’t make sense especially when the main park had plenty of spaces.

Great stay

The deluxe cabin 203 was very nice. The dining chairs were not comfortable for medium and large sized adults. The bedroom with the half bath was hot for sleeping. Otherwise, no complaints.

We stayed in cabin, very clean! The grounds are very clean and well kept and the staff are very kind. Other campers were quiet, the road and trains, I do believe we got used to them. We will return, it was a fun vacation.

Beautiful campground. Clean restrooms and showers. Polite campers.
Jul 10, 2026
The sites were impeccable. Bathrooms too! I really like the trail to town. Unfortunately, there were trains and semi trucks passing close by all night long.

We were able to view the 4th of July fireworks from our campsite, while enjoying our fire; up in the newer section near the laundry/bath house. We had a great time. The facilities were clean as per usual, (we've been going there for years) and this is one of the nicest KOA's. The mineral hot pools were soothing as usual. Seems like the restaurants might be improving in town. We'll be back.

Very noisy spot next to the highway and the railroad tracks.

Lava KOA is the best! Spacious lots, clean & maintained. Clean bathroom & showers. Very nice staff. Close to town and the river and the hot tubs and the big pool! Always a good time at this KOA! Highly recommended.

will not ever stay there again. WE BOOKED months in advance for 2 spots side by side each other for 4 nights. When we arrived they had given our pre booked sites to another guest that was only staying 2 nights. So they sacrificed a customer that had paid in advance for 4 nights for a customer staying 2 nights. one off our sites was so un level we couldn't even level the trailer

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately when reservations are booked online there is no guarantee that the sites are beside each other. We encourage guests to call the office so that we can accommodate their preferences.

Our annual Lava Hot Springs/4th of July trip was great! The campground is prettier every year. The owners are working hard to create such an attractive camp! Only problem we had was some neighbors who felt most of the camp would like their music (we didn’t), but KOA people were out and around checking on things and spoke to them. Looking forward to being there next year for more days!

Very overpriced for how little was offered. No toiletries, linens, pillows, towels, firewood. The amount to stay for one night is more than a fancy Vegas hotel and we don’t even get room service. We might as well have stayed in a tent if we had to bring our entire house with us to feel comfortable.

I stayed in T5. It was tiny and didn’t have a picnic table as advertised. For the price I paid I don’t feel like it was worth it.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing the disappearing picnic table to our attention. We have located it on a neighboring site.

The cost to pitch a tent is WILD! $67 just for me to pitch a tent for the night is ridiculous. I will not be staying here again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. Your stay was during our peak season. We appreciate your perspective and hope you will consider a visit during our off season when rates are lower.

I really loved the camp site but my experience was heavily lacking due to other guests and their encroachment upon our camp site. We literally had them put a tent under one of our slide outs. This really is a first world complaint and means nothing in real terms. However it does make for a poor experience, also I understand I could have spoke to them and resolved the issue. I chose not to.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We really wished you would of let us know about the situation during your stay. We could have helped resolve it.

This a great campground, clean and a beautiful area.

It was lovely, clean and so close to town (walking distance). I do wish they had a laundry but the park was great.
Jul 03, 2026
Nice place… hate to see costs for RV sites and cabins continue to increase, but this is a great place for families.
Jul 03, 2026
My only complaint is that your neighbors power pedestal is right in the middle of your lawn and the sewer is very far away and ends up under your RV
Jul 03, 2026
Listening to the water and the crackle of the campfire was your heaven. The patio furniture provided gave a lovely place to sit and enjoy everything as we relaxed.

We were put in the TERRIBLE expansion lot. Loud highway on one side-lots of trucks, busy road on the other side, no big trees, strewn trash and junk from the neighboring house, sea gulls fighting over the trash.. a VERY loud train going through night and day about 30 ft away. We expected the main camp by the river when we booked. Very disappointing! We stayed one night and left without a refund.

Cabin was small but very clean. The mattress was made of a thick, durable nylon, good for cleanliness, but our sheets kept sliding off during the night. Otherwise, a very comfortable little cabin!

Very nice place to stay.liked our cabin very much. People were nice there. Only problem we had was with the TV. Satellite would not stay on. It was a cold rainy weekend so limited outdoor fun. Hope we will get to go back sometime when it's warm. Everything was clean and nice there.

The park is very clean and well kept. Your in ground fire pits are dangerous. There should be something covering them or around them to prevent people from falling into them when it is dark. We did have someone fall into one at night, it was just outside of the door to RV. The water man could come a little later as to not flood sites for people trying to pack up for check out. Great place to stay.

We were traveling from Oregon to Colorado. This KOA was clean and quiet. We had a beautiful site on the River. The site was within an easy walk to town and the hot springs.

Deberían proporcionar almohadas y ropa de cama. La cocina comunal debe tener implementos al menos ollas y sartenes.

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.
