Starting to be overpriced. Paid a premium for a spot by the upper pavilion. KOA reserves the pavilion out for events with no regulating what goes on there. Constantly had people from the pavilion walking through our camp, leaving trash, being loud and destroying the bathroom facilities connected to the pavilion. People parking in front of my spot which I paid for. Staff said nothing they could do!

Great place. Only suggestion I would have is better dust control on roads throughout park. We also rented a small house cabin very nice

The setting is great, right on the river. And the staff are wonderful. Unfortunately, that's about it. The sites are packed together tightly. Guests are allowed to park in the road all over the place making it difficult to navigate. The fire pits are a trip/fall hazard. Finally, the main complaint - noise. Right by a busy highway and train tracks with noise day and night. We won't stay here again.

It was just lovely. Very clean and very manicured campsite in general. Walking distance (5mins)to town, hot springs and water park. Staff friendly and helpful. I was sorry to leave!!

We were excited for a week with family at your resort, but bummed about the lack of activities for kids. Being a KOA Holiday you would think that you would do the crafts, movie nights, better playground, bike rentals etc. with no pool it would be nice to have a splash pad or something for those super hot days. Staff was friendly and grounds were beautiful

Extremely overpriced for what you get. Very dusty from the wind in the area. Extremely loud from the road and train that goes right by the campground. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

When I book the stay I called on the phone to make sure I would be put in the section of the park and when I got there I was told it was not available. I was ask about the breed of my dog and was told that pits and dogs like that are not allowed and when we got there pit bulls were everywhere and I was charged 6.00 for my 5 pound Yorkshire. The cost compared to other koa much too high.

Excellent stay! We enjoy it very much!

Way too expensive. Felt like I was nickled and dimed for everything. Strict rules. Took a long time to get me checked in as front desk people were new.

Wi fi was terrible
Jul 10, 2023
It was okay. The restrooms/showers in the main area need to be updated, one of the stall doors needs to fixed to close, the sewer connects were very difficult (too far) for my rig, may be for others if their rig has the sew connections middle to front of it and the connect is in the far rear. For our side S2, you could put a fence around the edge/corner to give some privacy from main entrance et

Great staff. The river side spots are awesome. Caught several fish. It was a great stay.

We have enjoyed staying at Lava Hot SPrings East KOA for many years. We love being by the river, everyone is freindly and helpful and the grounds are kept very clean. We look forward to coming back!

A More accommodating people you will never meet. I had a health issue while there and had to leave early, they quickly refunded the additional day. A sweet lady when learning that I had trouble with gravel gave me her RV grass pad so I didn't have to worry about stepping on gravel as I came in and out of the camper. It was a great help and she was so sweet to leave and go home and pick it up

This is our favorite campground! It is very well-kept and the setting is beautiful. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We already have a trip booked here for next year. �ϋ�

noise noise noise. Kids are turning rounds and rounds with loud motocross and squads till late in the evening and nobody stops them.

We had a great stay, our 41st year visiting Lava Hot Springs! Other than the miscommunication at the front desk when checking in (we clearly stated how many people in RV, tent, etc., but had to go back in later to pay extra fees as the person at desk didn’t seem to listen for vital info). Looking forward to next year’s visit.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for choosing the Lava Hot Springs KOA East Holiday. We do apologize for the experience at check in. We have had several new additions to our team and we strive to improve our training systems. Thank your for being patient with us.

We had a back-in riverside site. The site was spacious and clean. Grass was nice and good fire-pit. Walking distance to tubing down the river. Loved it!

Everything is clean and great here. We enjoyed our time there.
Jul 06, 2023
It was great. Although, given the increased occupancy for the 4th of July holiday it was quite dusty, as most campers do not obey the 5 mph speed limit. It would have been nice if the main roads had been treated to decrease the dust, as has been done in the past.

This facility and location are a hidden gem. A lot of the sites back up to the river so you have that sound as you sleep. definitely on or list for a destination rather than just an overnight stop on this trip.

Love this KOA!

Charged $6 per dog per night, never had dog charge at a KOA. Made me sign a waiver "in case I damaged or stole something". Never again at this one.

Train kept us awake during the night. Map showed River behind our spot and it was a patch of weeds. Very disappointed.

Great for families and one nighters

I am surprised that this campground earned the designation KOA. It has no amenities and the price per night $120 plus is outrageous. We picked this campground as a one night stop over on our way to Utah due to convenience off the highway and the reported "Olympic sized swimming pool. " The pool is not associated with this campground or located on the property. It is a public pool that costs $15.

I own a 45foot Motorhome. This is the worst design KOA I’ve been to. If you have big gig stay away from this place.

We had a family reunion at Lava Hot Springs East KOA. It was AMAZING! We had family camping, staying in cabins and tents and we had the pavilion for the weekend. Everything was great! The staff was so accommodating to changing reservations and emptying the garbage frequently at the pavilion for us. We will be back!!

I have never been to this KOA before but if I were to stay here again, I would for sure avoid the middle sites. I didn’t realize how squished in everyone would be. Also, the tent site next to us had 10 people and their tents were set up in our site. We literally had to string a hose over their tent to access the water. The staff didn’t do anything to remedy this and that was really frustrati

Top notch

Nice place. The sites were a little close and crowded so I understand the attention to extra vehicles.

Great bathrooms/showers! Nice being able to walk to the cute town. Very clean park. Easy check in.

Nice, campground, staff was friendly and accommodating.

We loved to location. It was very easy to walk to town. The train noise and Jake brake noise from trucks was a little too much at times. The showers at the main office could use a couple of more books added.

We stayed in L46 and patio is facing the river. Very nice night bbq and fire pit experience. Close by train tracks and freeway is the downside though. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Kids loved the bunk beds.

The cabins are very cozy, close to the Portneuf river across from the cabins. It runs by some great RV parking spots looking at that river. I gave them 2 stars for service because no one is around Monday to Thursday, along with limited working hours Friday- Sunday. If you want something, you have to get in your vehicle and drive about a mile away to their other office in a different area of town. I find that ridiculous or even worse, asinine, not sure what the owner was thinking of that concept. Everything else was great. Some people might have other opinions about driving away to check out, they should have a drop box located around the office area to drop off the keys where we were staying at, instead of us driving to the other location drop it off, I found that to be very inconvenience for us.
