We are located right off of highway 30. If you are coming in off of I15 you will continue on highway 30 passing Lava Hot Springs. You will see the KOA East on your right hand side. After passing the KOA East you will start going up a hill. Continue up the hill for .5 miles. You will see a Lava Campground sign take you first right onto Fish Creek Road and then another immediate right onto Fish creek extension road. This road will bring you down into the campground. Lava Campground is a local family owned Campground. Cameron and Annie along with their 2 boys Kash and Jaxson built Lava Campground from the ground up. They have always embraced the company of others and love when people can come stay and play with them. When they decided to build a campground they were excited about the possibility to create a place for people to feel at home and have a great time camping. They have an endless need for adventure, anything outdoors and fun- sign them up! They have fallen in love with the campground and being part of the Lava Hot Springs community. The new friends they've made during ownership have been priceless to them. Each year Cam and Annie continue to make improvements to the campground. The creativity they hold is endless and their goal is to make the campground a place where people truly want to be and hope that people feel like part of their family during their stay. Lava Campground is a gem and unique. Cam and Annie came up with the idea to rent out the vintage campers which has become the theme for Lava Campground. They've designed the entire property to give a blast from the past kind of feeling. With a vintage playground, glamping wall tents, 5 remodeled retro campers, studio apartment, and spacious RV and tents sites. The location offers the perfect balance of being close to local attractions and conveniences while enjoying a relaxed country atmosphere, located just 1 mile East of Lava Hot Springs passed KOA East on the Portneuf River and Fish creek border you will be close to all Lava Hot Springs has to offer. Come and enjoy the warmth of Lava Campground and feel at home while you are here.

Located at the base of Wolverine Canyon is our little slice of heaven called Wolverine Ranch. It is a 100 year old working cattle ranch. The Camp is located in the Headquarters Wolverine Ranch and we decided to name it Wolverine Adventures after a saying that Kelly and Robyn's family has. If something has to be done on the Ranch that is of a more difficult nature, we ask one another "What time is it? Adventure time!" This gets us through the more demanding tasks on the Ranch and allows us to have fun and humor through it all. As you pull through the Juniper log archway you will drive right through the corrals. Gates may be closed but are to contain cattle and horses, not to keep people out. Come on in and please close the gate behind you. Wolverine and Jones Creeks run through camp and we do allow catch and release fishing with an Idaho Fishing License of course. Camp is the perfect place to unwind after driving all day and unplug from the busy world outside of the gates. THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AT CAMP!! You may get signal a short walk up a hill above camp. We do allow campfires but only in the community fire pit area. There is a hot water shower with 180 degree views of the Juniper covered hills while you wash the stress away. We do also have a flushing toilet and potable water right in camp. We do offer a few add on Adventures such as trail rides or Ranch tours. These will need to be discussed in advance of your arrival. Communication with Robyn is encouraged via HipCamp messaging as we often are out of service and need to know an approximate ETA. We prefer to meet every guest and help you get settled in, answer any questions, and apprise you of any information you will need to enjoy your stay. There is abundant wildlife that frequent The Camp, including White Tailed Deer, Mule Deer, Song Birds, Racoons, skunks, and snakes. We do allow pets, however they must be on leash and under control at all times, The Camp has resident chickens and cattle and horses are always nearby.

Granite Creek Ranch is a 4th generation working cattle and horse ranch established in 1921 operated by the same family for over a century. Meadows, crop fields and forested mountains cover the ranch. 230 pairs of cows and two dozen horses call it home along with herds of Elk, Mule and Whitetail Deer, Moose, Coyotes, Redtail Hawks, Bald Eagles, Cranes and many other bird species. Ranch covers over 4,000 acres and the campsites have a couple hundred acres of hiking to enjoy. My family really enjoys the ranching and country life and want to be able to share it with others!

We arrived late but Derek provided directions to the local store via text and met us at the gate. Helped to find some small firewood and lent an axe. Next morning woke to a really peaceful site where the owners have done a great job of making a great site - communal area with games, nice lighting and the best shower we’ve seen after weeks on the road. Well worth a visit.

This is our second time here and it was just as wonderful and quiet and peaceful as last time. It was so good that the weather decided to give us heat, cold, wind, and rain. But that still didn’t mess up a lovely time camping here. It’s so close to my home that I wish I could come out every weekend.

Tent camping sites were clean, in the shade, and well maintained. Power and water was available and convenient. Parking was easy. Close to the bathhouse/hot tub, laundry mat, and playground. Very peaceful except the occasional kids walking through the campsite (which management addressed without me saying anything when they noticed) or late night camper driving over to use the bathroom (headlights shining into tent). Bathrooms were nice and exceptionally clean. Sherrie and her team do an excellent job and clearly take pride in their work. Better than most hotels. Laundry facilities were also well kept and decently priced. Initially the power at my campsite was not working and Terry immediately went to work rectifying the issue, furnishing an extension cord for my work laptop until the problem could be found. Ended up being a quick and easy fix, but regardless felt very taken care of as a guest and feel that he went above and beyond to make sure that I was provided good service and had a comfortable stay. Both Sherrie and Terry were outstanding staff members. I enjoyed my conversations with them and felt that they are kind people that care about the park, its guests, the quality of experience and services provided, and taking pride in their work. I’ve worked as a campground host for forest service and maintenance for state parks and can honestly say they not only did their jobs well, they exceeded expectations. Would come back and stay just to visit with them.

Amazing opportunity-you simply could not ask for more hospitable hosts. They're incredibly kind and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. And my last night there, they even threw a small bonfire for all the guests to join and share their travel adventures (which I very much appreciated since I was traveling solo). The views were incredible of course, between the starry night sky, the surrounding hills and the nearby national parks. But I think the people are what made this stay one to remember. I cannot recommend this opportunity enough.

Aspen Grove was lovely. The workmanship that has gone into the hardscape and design is unlike any other park we have stayed in. It is pure quality. We were in awe of the care and thought that was put into the property. We went in the middle of September. The days were lovely and the night were very cold. The little town close by was sweet. We even played miniature golf. Good hiking close by and Idaho Falls not far. The RV part was very traditional. If it were closer to home, I could see using this for an event like a family reunion. Oh, and the people were kind, thoughtful and informative.

They included free showers, washer and dryer on site, a recreation hall/lodge, fire pits and table at all sites, and both pull through and back in sites with plenty of space. It is away from the highway so it is quiet, a great sunset and sunrise and fantastic star gazing. The swans were flying and singing to us. I would definitely stay there again.

When to go

Know before you go

  • Bring binoculars for wildlife observation, as animals are best viewed from a distance.
  • Prepare for limited amenities; the nearest fuel and supplies are in Soda Springs, ID, and Thayne, WY.
  • Respect the habitat by staying on designated trails and roads during your visit.
  • Remember, the refuge is open from sunrise to sunset, with no overnight parking allowed.
