Sits right on the Portneuf River with some access to the water. Trains running through the canyon on the other side of the road were noisy, but seemed to stop by 11p. The side of the park we were in had large Willow trees and lots of room between some of the sites. Easily accommodate a big group with rv and tents. A little further up the hill from us were a number of new sites that looked really nice and across the entrance road, the same. The odd part is that the Willow trees under which we were camped (we were in site 90) were oozing some sort of sticky substance that coated everything below... your motor home, trailer, chairs, bikes, tow cars, bbq, everything (including your dogs paws and the bottoms of you shoes). And not just a little bit. Google tells me that it's not unusual during the summer months for Willows that are infested with aphids to have this problem. Just wish we knew this when we booked the sites earlier this year. Kind of a mess to clean up.The best feature of the campground might be the Lava Hot Springs Pools and water park nearby. Grand kids loved that.

We stayed just one night here on our way home from a 6 week outing. This KOA has something for everyone and every type of campsite you could ever imagine. It is very busy! We had a patio site near the office, overlooking a weedy bit near the stream. While you couldn’t see the water from the patio, you could hear it and could enjoy gazi...moreWe stayed just one night here on our way home from a 6 week outing. This KOA has something for everyone and every type of campsite you could ever imagine. It is very busy! We had a patio site near the office, overlooking a weedy bit near the stream. While you couldn’t see the water from the patio, you could hear it and could enjoy gazing at the cliffs above it. Road noise and train noise was excessive (4 trains went through during the night and the train track is right on the other side of the highway which is right next to the park and carries a lot of semi truck traffic).

Lava hot springs is a great place to visit. The hot springs are awesome, and the park is next to the Portneuf river. As others have mentioned it’s directly off a small highway and there are train tracks beyond that. Not a big deal to me, but something to keep in mind.

As others have mentioned it’s directly off a small highway and there are train tracks beyond that. Not a big deal to me, but something to keep in mind. The whole area is nice, the local town is cool with some small restaurants and stores. Cellular service was acceptable. ATT was 20MB down and 15 up. Verizon was slower with about 8Mb down and 15 up.

We usually go here on the 4th of July. We love it however its has gotten really pricey. There are plenty of trees for shade. Check in an out was great and the staff was great.

We love it however its has gotten really pricey. There are plenty of trees for shade. Check in an out was great and the staff was great. Its a very short walk into town where they have shops, bars and restaurants and of course tubing down the river which is very short (about 15 minutes) and crazy busy but is still fun. If you don't mind somewhat of a crowd then this place is great. Oh, I almost forgot if you have issues with noise at night you might want to go somewhere else, there are trains that are close to the campground that go through all times of day and night. We don't mind it because we have a train that is basically in our backyard and are use to it.

I stayed here in my 30’ Class C. Love the back in sites by the river. The water falls are noisy and this whole town sits along side a major road and busy Railroad tracks. Nice fire rings and a short walk to town. Made the walk with our 5 yr old. Site 7 level side to side but about 2-3” high near the back of the gravel pad.
