About this campground

Lava Hot Springs City Center KOA in Lava Hot Springs Idaho offers full hookup RV camping in a newly remodeled (and undergoing additional upgrades) campground. Full hookup RV and tent camping sites located just north of downtown and immediately across the river from the Lava Olympic Swimming Pool and Park. This popular family friendly area draws crowds in from Utah and southern Idaho looking to enjoy the water play areas. A bounce pillow is located near the main office and multiple foot-bridges lead to the pool area (unrelated business = extra charge). paved roads with dirt parking pads and mowed grass surrounds. This KOA is not to be confused with the original Lava Hot Springs KOA located just to the east of town.

What campers say

The campground sits in a prime spot within walking distance of the river, pools and town, and many guests appreciate the shady trees and easy river access. Recent management changes brought cleaner facilities and cabin options but also noticeably higher nightly rates, extra fees for additional people or tents, and a crowded layout with closely spaced sites. Several visitors reported unhelpful customer-service experiences and restrictive cancellation policies. Bathhouse capacity has been a recurring complaint and train horn noise can be disruptive. If location is top priority, it’s convenient; budget-minded or privacy-seeking campers may want to compare alternatives.
