We stopped here on our way from Bear Lake to Yellowstone. They greeted us very nice and even so we had a reservation for a specific spot they offered us to pick any free spot, cause the reserved one was not very level for our RV (30 feet). All sites are on gras only and offer only electric. But it works out.

We came up to Lava Hot Springs for the first time this season and were looking for a solid campground to park our trailer during the trip. This place is amazing, and worked perfectly for what we were looking for. The property itself is beautiful, and has a stream with a couple ponds running through the middle of it that are stocked with fish that you can catch for a small fee. There's plenty of space between campsites, and there's wide open spaces of grass you can use for activities or have kids play in. Campsites do have partial hookups if you choose, with 30 amp or 50 amp options, as well as tent spots. They also have a water spigot available as you enter camp to fill up your trailer so you can haul it dry. We found this place to be much better than a crowded KOA for sure. Also, the no p

Good place to camp close to the hot springs. My son is terrified of dogs so we appreciate that there aren’t dogs running around. Had a blast fishing in the little pond and even caught something! Owners are friendly and available if you need to call.

Loved our stay here! Such a beautiful spot, nice and quiet, shady trees, super nice, clean, chill sweet camp hosts . Kids had fun fishing, loved playing on the old school teeter totter and having freedom to roam around. We loved the no pet and alcohol policy made for much quieter stay. Really close to town. We’ll definitely be back. Would recommend either ear plugs or a white noise machine because of the train horn at night. But other than that it was fantastic !

We go camping to be with our family, enjoying the peace and calm that nature brings. We definitely got that at Smith’s Trout Haven! It was refreshing to not have to worry about people being disorderly. Best camping experience in years! It was easy to make a reservation and I didn’t have to make it a year in advance. The owners were very helpful and kind in answering all of our questions. The campground was very clean and well maintained, including the port-a-potty. We found the price very reasonable, especially for Lava Hot Springs.
