We were only there for an overnight but loved our site by the river and within walking to the hot springs. Warm welcome at the front desk and very clean grounds and bathrooms.

The campsite, the restrooms, the showers. Everything was great however there’s constant trains just across the road that go by all day and all night. Also, the major road going to soda Springs is right there so you hear the semi’s going by morning day and night. If it wasn’t for that, it’d be a great place to stay!

Staff was friendly, Grounds were immaculate and well belt. Location is good because it’s close to Lava. Only negative is the train noise and road noise at night. Despite that We Would definitely stay there again!

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.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize that you were unaware of the pet charge. The additional fee is included in the site descriptions. The pet fee helps cover the cleaning and maintenance costs. We also provide a paw pen area where you can take your pet to and let them off the leash.

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 appreciate your feedback. Staff are trained to explain to guests when purchases are made that items are not refundable. That said, we always want our guests to feel they are being treated with courtesy and respect. Always please ask for a manager so we can address your concerns.

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.
Jul 13, 2026
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!
Jul 13, 2026
The campground was super clean. The staff members were very happy and helpful. We love staying here.

Great stay

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.

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.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We understand how much night time noise can affect a stay. Unfortunately, the transportation routes are beyond our control. We appreciate your honest feedback.

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.
Jul 08, 2026
Very noisy spot next to the highway and the railroad tracks.
Jul 08, 2026
Very clean. Staff was very friendly

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!

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.
Jul 04, 2026
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.

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.

Enjoyed everything, but felt kind of isolated since we were out in the "Extension."
Jun 28, 2026
Everything was wonderful other than very close to Highway and train tracks
Jun 28, 2026
The ground itself is very beautiful. What we disliked about it was all the noise from the trains that ran most nights and from the highway that’s so close to the area we stayed at.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize that the location of the campground didn't meet your expectations. Unfortunately, the train and highway noise is heard throughout out beautiful little valley.

Site was level, clean and nicely taken care of!
Jun 27, 2026
Our stay was amazing. Extremely friendly staff and the site we got was right next to the river.
Jun 26, 2026
4 nights. Great staff. Great upgraded sites all around. clean bathrooms and showers. nice people staying there as well. I would like to see trash recepticles in the older section and the playground in the newer section needs a couple more items as there were only two things there for kids to use. otherwise it's great!
Jun 25, 2026
Great KOA. Friendly staff, clean restrooms, close to town. Our favorite place to stay! Right by the river as well. Can’t wait to come back!

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.
