Beautiful cabin. Gorgeous views. Very clean and easy to make a reservation at. We enjoyed our visit to Lava Hot springs and would to love visit again.

I love the campground at Lava Hot springs, it's beautiful and so well maintained. The cabin is small but sufficient for my needs.

Beautiful location and facilities, friendly staff. Bring ear plugs, lots of road and train noise

The Portneuf river and fall foliage made a fantastic backdrop for the weekend. We loved the golden leaves, crisp autumn air, and the sound of flowing water all from the deck of our cabin. It was a great home base for Oktoberfest fun, and we loved having a nice cozy place to retreat to afterward, especially since our enthusiasm for sleeping in a tent has found its limit as we've gotten older!

Very friendly and helpful staff, check in and check out were a breeze. We stayed in the deluxe cabins; linens, pillows, bath towels, cookware, and a hot plate were provided with each cabin. The firepit out back was very nice. Our family thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evening, making s'mores and hearing the river in the background. We had a very pleasant experience.

Friendly staff. Cabins are nice and feel comfortable. Easy walk to the cozy town of Lava Hot Springs. You have the option to ride the river on a tube or soak in the mineral springs rejuvenating your bones. I love this town.

The folks that took care of us were wonderful! Great communicators. We loved our accommodations. We had our family vacation here and everyone was so happy, and we plan to come back again soon.

The only issue was the loud traffic and trains most of the night.

Put in a cabin with absolutely no shade. Same size cabin just down from ours next to the river with a lot of shade and set empty the whole time we were there. The umbrella for the table was broke. Notified the person on duty. Was told she would call the manager and call me back. Not one word from her. Getting packed to leave and the whole cabin filled up with sewer smell. Not good at all!

The cabin was great. Very new and clean. We came after the season ( after Labor Day) so we didn’t get to do a lot of things there in Lava. I feel the price could have been lower than it was because of the late season, but no complaints about the KOA campground, the cabin, or the employees. Those were all great!

The lodging had everything that was needed even for a party of six. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the private location. I definitely recommend to friends and family.

They did it again! I dropped a few silly, random requests into the comment box on our reservation—partly to see if the staff actually notices, and partly just to have a little fun with them. Not only did they notice, but they clearly put some real time, thought, and effort into making it happen. They went above and beyond and added a little extra fun and personality to our stay in Lava!

The cabins were comfortable and cute. We enjoyed the fire pit. Everything was clean.

you like a camp ground full of highway noise and a bed that is almost impossible to sleep on then this is for you. I am thoroughly disappointed with the cabin rental it has no rails around back patio maybe because you can reach out from your window and touch the other cabins and the mattress they could have splurge just a little and got a box spring or even a piece of plywood and put down because

Place not cleaned well. Remote filthy. we needed to clean. The staff and hosts were rude and accused us of "taking the doors off the cabinets" We were misquoted on other matters. Staff often misunderstood each other and relayed our information incorrectly. We didn't receive a receipt so we don't know the amount that was charged. We were harassed about leaving and checked up on frequently.

It was peaceful and relaxing place. I’m planning to go back again.

Very nice cabin plenty of room for all of us. The camp ground was clean and roomy for all vehicles. Close to town with plenty to do within walking distance. I would definitely stay there again

Had a great time. The cabin was very clean and met our needs. The futon was a bit uncomfortable but everything else was great.

Only stayed one night in a camper cabin, but I’m very tempted to come back and stay again. Staff was great, very convenient to town as you can walk from the campground. I liked the individualized bathrooms/shower stalls. Thanks for a great stay!!

For the price of the cabin, tou should provide linen. Besides that it's a beautiful place.

We had the most wonderful time here! It was beautiful and cozy! We stayed 4 nights and spent all our time next to the river listening to the waterfall next to our fire pit. We grilled food every night. I will be staying here everytime we come to Idaho to see family summer or winter! The hot springs were very nice and clean as well.

Love coming here with our kids! They never want to leave.

Great location walking distance to town but yet away from the crowds. Loved being close to river and camping with shade. The cabin was great too. Perfect for the rest of the family who came up later.
Aug 17, 2026
The cabins were very clean and a great size for what we needed. We loved the back deck and how close we were to the hot pots.
Aug 17, 2026
Cabin is clean and the amenities work well. However, the bed was atrocious. The mattress was a camping mattress and was a few inches thick. This provided no support and ensured I got no sleep. The employee wasn't willing to do anything to comp us. The cabin can be perfect, but if I'm not sleeping it's terrible. The price per night is too expensive for an experience like that and won't come back.

We had an amazing time at KOA. Campground was was well kept and staff was always friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay at this KOA again in the future!

Nice cabin. Wish they would provide towels and linens for beds
Aug 10, 2026
Had another great stay, this time we brought our adult children and rented their families their own cabins next to us. Good conversation and great memories made sitting around the fire pit on the back porch of our cabin overlooking the Portneuf river. The camp hosts were awesome in helping us coordinate the different arrival times.

The staff was helpful and the grounds and the cabins were clean. It is located in a pretty area.

Overall beautiful area. Easy access to river, nice swimming area and outside facilities nice (grill and fire pit). Walking distance to town is nice also. Mattress is uncomfortable, trains and trucks are very noisy especially at night. Nothing anyone can do with the noise.

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.
