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.

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.

Owners are fantastic people. Entire staff is professional and accommodating. We’ll be back.

Very clean park. Only draw back the park is very close to the highway and train tracks very noisy

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately our valley is small and the train and traffic noise seems loud. Ear plugs are courteously provided at the office.

Had a beautiful site. We only stayed one night but enjoyed it very much. The lady that checked us in was very pleasant and professional. It was wonderful that you stayed open later as we arrived after 7:00pm. Thank you for staying open after 7:00 pm!

First time ever that I have been charged to have a pet in my own RV. That is honestly the most ridiculous thing.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are hoping that you took advantage of the safe paw pen area and pet waste stations provided in the campground. We strive to make our guests and their pets stay enjoyable.

Excellent surroundings, easy to get to and close to everything. They do a great job keeping the grounds in great shape! It was a pleasure to camp at KOA East Hot Lava Springs, ID.
Mar 31, 2026
Our site was perfect, right on the water. We sat and mindlessly watched the waterfall while enjoying the sun. place was very clean. Showers were awesome. My only complaint is the road and train noise which KOA can’t control.
Mar 29, 2026
This KOA wasn’t a favorite of ours. While it’s closer to the hot pools, the trail to get there feels unsafe especially when walking it at night. It’s very close to the road and no lighting. We will go back to staying at the KOA West.

We understand your safety concerns and try to remind guests walking the trail along the transportation right of way to carry flashlights or use the flashlight on their phones. We're glad you found a location that better suits your preferences. We truly appreciate your input.

We were in the upper part of the campground. There was really not much shade or view, but we did like the quiet. The site was really hard to back into because of the way the road was in front of it. The laundry and restrooms where we were were down. We were fine. There was not many amenities included.

Pleasant staff, quiet surroundings, clean facilities. Appreciated the easy walk to town

This a stunning campground with trees, a river and all the amenities. The hosts were so accommodating as we rolled in later in the evening. Restrooms & showers were clean and well maintained. The only drawback was the railway situated above and the lights & noise from the highway.
Mar 17, 2026
It was great! All the amenities and an easy walk to the hot springs and into town. Only downside were the loud trains that went by through the night, but I think anywhere in Lava Hot Springs would be impacted by that.

Nice campground! Liked the spot next to the river. Staff was courteous and responsive to our needs. Would certainly stay there again. Highly recommend.

So relaxing to hear and watch the flow of the river and watching the colors of the leaves falling. Beautiful!

Nice, clean area. I love how close it is to the hot springs. My only dislike is that it has a train track that runs all night very close to it that is very loud when trying to sleep. I wish there was a disclaimer somewhere to bring my ear plugs.

I was disappointed that no one mentioned the hot springs were closed. That was the main reason for my visit. Too bad.

Arrived late but found our spot and had a good night’s sleep. The location is lovely with lots to do. Hope to return sometime and stay longer.

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.
