This is probably the nicest KOA we have ever stayed in. Each time we return more improvements have been made. We will definitely plan a trip there this next year. I highly recommend this campground!

Always a great place to stay

Everything was great. Host, bath rooms, the park, camp site. Everything, however HWY30 and trains was a mess. Loud mess. Jake brakes per Semi all night long and locomotives all the time as well. I would tell everyone NOT to forget your earplugs.

Was very clean & quiet place to stay. Like the trees & grass in our site!

Very nice park on the Portneuf River. Short walk to downtown and hot springs.

Hiway and train track was very loud all night.

the KOA camp ground was right next to a railroad that ran 4 or 5 times during the day and 2 to 3 times a night and was at the bottom of a highway that truckers used frequently and with no Jake brake rules so very very loud, Other than that the camp was well groomed and clean with shade trees and plenty of room between trailer spots

Great place, great views. This is our second time here and we’ll be back

It is very nice campground in excellent location. For some reason, they could not extend our stay in campground that was only half full. Also they double prices on weekend.

We loved the KOA at Lava Hot Springs! Clean, friendly staff, and very well kept. I would recommend this KOA to anyone traveling through Idaho! Wish we would have booked for a longer stay.

I enjoyed my stay. I thought the cement in different spots was a trip hazzard. There seemed to be a lot of raised curbs near campsites

Everything is clean and well maintained. Recent improvements were very well done. Beautiful place!

Other than the couple fighting in the upper tent parking area and the guests with the 2 barking German Shepherds, our stay was good. The wife and I stay here every time we visit Lava. Michael did a great job escorting and traffic control.

Park is well maintained and in a beautiful surrounding. Only complaint would be the traffic noise.

Great rv park. Clean and very well kept. The only drawback is being right by the train tracks with a constant stream of trains all night.

Nice people at check in. Restroom, showers were clean and pleasant. The whole camp ground was in great shape. Hook ups were convenient. Proximity to hot springs was good.

Lovely site, excellent facilities.

It is nice to see a great camp ground put some money back into the facility.

Extremely overpriced, extremely crowded, noisy trains, nearby, and tight little spots not really my vibe when camping
Sep 02, 2025
Assigned space extremely small, fires should be banned, extremely noisy with highway and train route adjacent to the campground. Out of control neighbors (music, kids running through campgrounds. speeding vehicles) Also, extremely overpriced. This is a very poor location for a campground if you want to relax. Hookups were good and campground is clean.

We just pulled in for an overnight stay, as the place we had booked was a bit sketchy. We were lucky Lava Hot Springs had a spot for us, as it was Labor Day Weekend. We didn't use any of the amenities since it was a short stay. It is a great place for families, lots to do with a water park just down the road, with another KOA available.

Would’ve been five stars, but charging an extra six dollars for a cat is ridiculous! Especially after paying the most I’ve ever paid for a KOA.
Aug 28, 2025
The facilities were in great condition and had lots of upgrades since our last stay. Clean showers and grounds are greatly appreciated. Please consider working with Lava Hot Springs to eliminate skunks in the area. Their smell was quite noticeable & they are rabies carriers. Also, it would be nice if Lava Hot Springs prohibited the use of engine brakes by semi-trucks passing through town.

Great location to the hotel springs and river tubing. We had a great site #223, private grass area, cement area, tables & chairs & fire pit. The best showers we've seen yet at any campground. We had some troubles and had to push our reservation back a day, and they were so cool about it. Loved this place.

Really clean and well kept park. Very nice and helpful staff.

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, clean park.

Always clean friendly

You have priced yourself out of business especially KOA WEST. It's ridiculous. This isn't Vegas! Mary's RV Park is looking good.

Beautiful, quite surroundings. Nice staff.
Aug 25, 2025
We loved the Campground and the Area! We will be back!
Aug 25, 2025
we did not have a reservation and luckily they had a pull through site for us. Check-in was easy, quick, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was nice and quiet. The grounds were very clean and bathrooms were also very clean. I loved how they have really made improvements there, the staff seem to care a lot about the appearance of the KOA grounds. Definitely will be going back.

Great location to access tubing and the hot springs. Campground ia well maintained and has lots of nice trees in most of the campground. Staff was very nice.

Very relaxing and very enjoyable �

Very nice and well kept. The only drawback is that our campsite was right next to the highway and train tracks. What amazed me was the amount of traffic and semi trucks that use that road, it was very loud.

We come up every year in August and we absolutely love it here. The grounds are always kept up beautiful. And the spots by the river are the best!!! Our favorite

Easily the best KOA we’ve used - and that’s saying a lot since we have stayed in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, and Wyoming! The staff is the best - so helpful and friendly, the grounds and views are phenomenal, and the bathrooms are clean and super accessible. We will be staying here again!

Great stay! We stayed at the East KOA in 2024 for a short weekend as well and enjoyed Lava Hot Springs so much we had to return for a longer stay this year. The upgrades to the campsites and campground were nice. Definitely would recommend staying at the East KOA and enjoy a day of tubing the river!!!!

Every thing was great. Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of our stay.

Loud party that went on past midnight that was not shut down by management. Trains all night long. Site was fine, it was the party that was the reason for a low rating.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Security was on site during your stay. Management will definitely be following up with security regarding the noise issue. Please feel free to contact the phone number on the map given to every guest at check in. All calls go directly to management after hours.

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.
