The Best Camping Near Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

A great little campground with many full hookups for RVs and some tent sites.  There is a small store in the office and a pretty little lake nearby but we didnt see any fish.  Lucky for the fisher though the Portneuf River is also right in the campground.  Theres a little bit of shade but not really any large trees.  If you want to head further up into the mountains this is a great spot to head north from.  It is also very close &lt;5 minutes from Lava Hot Springs.

Great KOA like campground

Pros: The site is well maintained. Only a few sites had muddy areas due to big rig tires but all were level with green grass. Toilets were well kept. It is close to town.

Cons: trains run 24/7 and are very loud. Not a lot of space between sites so you hear neighbors. View is okay but nothing great.

So so

The best part of this campground is the river! It runs right through the campground and it’s perfect for floating. 

All the sites are grass which is very nice and cozy. 

The bathrooms are always super clean. Camp hosts were nice and helpful. 

They also have a rental company on site which was nice to rent tubes for the river. They also had side by sides and a whole bunch of fun outdoor toys.
