The fishing ponds are fun. You pay by the size of fish you catch. We like to support locally owned business and it is clear these folks care and want you to have a good time. One review said they made them pay for damage. Don't damage things, and you won't have a consequence. They do have rules so all can enjoy their camping trips too. I am grateful for their rules.

The views and access to the river are unbeatable. They are constantly improving the area, this is already the best campground in Lava. If you are looking for things to do while in Lava, Portneuf also has an equipment rental tent where you can rent anything from tubes to side by sides at super affordable rates. I highly recommend staying at this campground if you are looking to camp in Lava Hot Springs.

Nice grassy areas situated right on the Portneuf river. It was so fun to raft the river and end right back at the campsite! If you are in Idaho near here this is the place to be!

Lots of love is put into this historic gem by the owners and caretakers. We felt welcomed and our pup was also treated as a respected guest. Daniel cooked us a beautiful breakfast each morning while we chatted with him and other interesting and worldly guests and staff members. We loved strolling the grounds, enjoying the historic buildings, view of the river and natural beauty. There were lots of little places to sit and take in the scenery or play some games . Highly recommended for those looking for a relaxed and authentic experience.

This is not a fancy high end park full of high end rigs. The park is beautifully maintained and spotless. There were a good number of permanent to semi-permanent residents... and the sites are very tight. Our two tandem sites accommodated both Motorhomes and both Toads. We did not need to unhook... but did to go out to eat. The electrical tested perfect and voltage was excellent... no faults or errors. We would have rated the park even higher if there had been cable tv and the sites had afforded any privacy at all. We were traveling with another couple so the tandem sites was not a problem for us... and was explained to us prior to arrival. The location is convenient and the park was quiet for us.

We were driving down from Montana and got caught up in a storm so our check in time was going to be extremely late (midnight). Called the office and they were extremely accommodating. The room is secured by a keypad with a unique code given to you at check in which they gave me over the phone. The staff over the phone and in person the next day was very friendly. The room(#7) was the perfect touch of warmth and cozy feeling we needed after such a long drive. There is a pretty big mini fridge and microwave in the room. The TV is a smart TV and has dish network with several channel options. The room was very clean and decorated with cute alpaca pictures and alpaca rugs. The bathroom has a full size tub, full size 32 oz tresemme shampoo/conditioner, small hair dryer, full size pump of hand soap and lotion (see pic). The beds are extremely comfortable and they even give you extra pillows besides the ones on the bed. Inside the rooms the ac has been updated as well (see pic) and is remote controlled for easy on/off option. Each room has their own little coffee station with real mugs. Outside of each room is a small patio table and chairs for two, so you can sit and enjoy your coffee. If you prefer to stay inside to drink your coffee there is a nice comfy rocking chair. I will definitely be staying here in the future!

They usually have…read morea minimum of a 2 nights stay but we were able to get squeezed in between the other guests, which was really nice of them to do that. The location itself is secluded. Just a little off the Main Street but still close enough to restaurants and bars. Close enough to walk to. Which was really nice and convenient when you're driving a big truck and you don't feel like pulling in and out of the crowded areas. Plus for us, on that part haha. The room is spacey and barn house feel but really cozy and warm. The ceilings are high so we didn't feel like we were crushed in a small room. The bathroom was spacious and I love that they advertise items for sale inside the room. The bed was comfy but I ended up on the couch lol because my son fell asleep in my spot on the bed next to my husband. We didn't even stay up for the count down. I did hear the fire works while I was dozing off into sleep. It was nice a quiet. The host was really cool and friendly. Got me checked in quickly and smoothly. Check out was also quick. I liked that they had a card and keyless entry door. That solves card problems if it doesn't work and the host is out, yeah! Been there done that. Not having to worry about where the card is or where I put it saves me so much stress. Believe me, I'm so distracted with other things that I'll end up leaving my key cards in the room! Lol! Anyway, don't take my word for it, staying here is recommend. We'll definitely be back.
