Lava Hot Springs City Center KOA

The best commercial RV park/campground that I stayed in during my Great American Eclipse trip had to be the Lava Hot Springs City Center KOA.

It is located in the town of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho and is within a block from supermarkets, shops, restaurants, hot springs, Olympic swimming pool/water park and float tube rentals. It is also situated next to the Portneuf River.

I was fortunate enough to be assigned to a campsite on the bank of the river. It was a little more expensive than I expected, but I enjoyed it. It was also roomy enough so that there's some space between campsites. Trains come through the town during the day, but stop at nights.

People with children will love this place as there's plenty of things for them to do. This campground would be a good destination even without the draw of an eclipse. The kids can play at the waterpark or river while their parents can relax and soak in a hot spring pool.

There's many restaurants (and bars) nearby so that visitors can skip cooking in camp and just enjoy a meal cooked by someone else.

My grade: A.
