Price includes tax which is a bit over priced for what you get. Park has no Cable, Wi-Fi, 50 amp, or pool. It has two sections, a lower under larger trees and an upper which has smaller trees 15 - 20 feet tall all of which need to be trimmed. We did not enter the lower section but it was hard to find an upper section site where you could avoid contact with small tree branches. We were on the high end of the park and had barely enough water pressure to take a shower which probably is not an issue on the lower sites. A fairly active railroad track is less then 200 yards from the park and town. There were a few over the air TV channels which we left on all night to drown out the train noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park. Owners very helpful and friendly. Close to the hot springs and to downtown. The restrooms and showers are very clean and well kept. The campground has two levels with the lower level having very large trees. A few pull through sites. Some noise from the trains and the highway but not too bad. Very nice for a couple of days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Basic family operated campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Camp was within
three blocks of Lava Hot Springs Hot Baths, a state operated facility. We spent the entire afternoon and evening there. There are 4 pools ranging from 104 to 110 degrees. Camp is on small river that runs through town. It was close to highway and train but noise was not bad. They have little supplies, but every store in town is within walking distance. It is a nice area to spend a day or two. Hot Springs also operates a large pool complex in the summer with waterslides and such. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I was really surprised by all the positive comments regarding this park. The location to town, river and WiFi were the only thing we found as a plus. The entrance to the park is definitely a negative, there were 2 RVs in front of us and our tow ended up on the highway with no way to move it or the rig. The site we were assigned was not level, dog poop around electrical and water connection plus trash in site next to us. It was hard to figure out which site was ours because there were two slots for the site, the rig in front of us had the same problem, very confusing. The highway and train tracks are very close, they normally don't bother us but they did during our stay. We ended up leaving early so we could get down the road to find a spot to sleep. The owners must have purchased an older park and are trying to update it, but they have a long way to go. It did have nice tent sites which were along the river. We would not return to this RV Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Enjoyed everything about this park, bathrooms and showers brand new. Very friendly staff. Nice sized sites. Floating down the river was a blast. Hot springs and pool w/ slides was in walking distance and cheap $11/day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is quite small, but it is very lovely. The mosquitos are quiet bad and I will not let that reflect my overall stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice Staff and owners working really hard to update and upgrade this facility. Enjoyed our stay at this very family friendly park in beautiful Lava Hot Springs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park managers were very friendly, but the facility is in need of repairs. The men's bathroom showers had uncovered holes in the walls, and the outside door lock was broken. The RV spaces need to be leveled. Lots of highway and train noise. We stayed only 1 night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A distance away from the interstate (about 13 miles), but this park is located right on a well traveled road. Also there is a train track close by, and we had a few freight trains interrupt our sleep. Location is right on a very pretty river, with many trees in the area we stayed in. Owners were extremely nice, and seem to be working hard to improve this older park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It's a long walk to the rest rooms if one is camped near the end of the campground. Assigned camping spots are not very clean (empty cans and paper in bushes, junk in fire pit). We were there on a Friday night and the place was extremely busy with hundreds of people and only three toilets (women) and three showers. Paper was strewn about in the shower/restroom area. This area too looked quite neglected. Trains running all day and night. The tent spots are quite large and nice with grill, fire pit and table. The hot springs are 10 minutes on foot. The swimming pools are at the other end of town. We camped here in a Tent.

We were pleasantly delighted with the friendliness of the campground owners. All other staff we meet were friendly and helpful. The owners spend each day improving this campground. The day we departed they were busy installing new brick fire rings. We were able to walk to the Hot Springs via a small trail connecting to main street. We can't wait to return to see what else has been upgraded. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park was fine. Our site was not level, so it took awhile. Our hook up did not have a 30 amp so had to use a converter. It appeared that there were some units that were there all the time, but it was a nice place, and close to the Hot Springs and other sites. We would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
