Tent Reviews

3 nights tent camp. Good separation tents and large RVs. Good/clean bath facilities - gel soap liquid, auto-feed towels, hot water, secured entrances, well kept grounds. Excellent location. Staff helpful, prompt/polite in all interactions. May become too popular with more RVs on road with Covid 19 situation.

Day construction made it very hard to relax. Also if the store is closed on Tuesdays I feel that should be told prior to booking. Felt I paid for something I wasn’t able to use.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We had a water main break and needed to be fixed ASAP. Day construction is not typical during the summer season unless it's necessary, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

It is a beautiful place to stay along the river always clean bathrooms the people are super friendly if I had to complain it would be they ran out of food by 3pm in the afternoon at the restaurant and the guy that checks over the campgrounds kept driving his quad around way passed 10 pm other than that it was perfect

Enjoyed staying at the Starbuck/Lyons Ferry Marina KOA. The tent site was of adequate size and grassy. Restrooms were clean. Nice having a store/restaurant on site. We took advantage of the nearby state park a couple days and would have loved to seen the nearby falls except they were very crowded due to the holiday.

Our site was nice with a partial view of river. Sites are very close to other tenters and music could be heard that was not on very loud and early morning, 5am, convos woke up many neighbors. Also, a few dogs were aggressive and that was scary. No firewood for Memorial Day was strange. Overall, it was fine.

Great people and eveything was super clean. The only knock on the camp gound is there is no privacy. The sites are stacked one on top of the other. For a fishing trip it was great, but for camping and relaxing its difficult when everyone is that tight together.

The hospitality here in this area is unlike anything I’ve experienced before it was a great time with great people will be back in the spring!

We had a late checkin and the process went very easy without the camp host being on duty. We had a pleasant stay except I should have used more insect spray to avoid getting bitten.

Sites were pretty well maintained. Only complaint is that sites were a little close together. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly and showers were nice too. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

all the staff go above and beyond to make your stay very enjoyable. We had 13 of our family come and stay and it was great.

We have been coming to Lyons Ferry Marina for the last 14 years before it was even a KOA and when they put it into a KOA there was so much more done to it that was nice and accommodating we've always loved our trip there it's a big family reunion and the people who own and work there have become family I will always bring new people and family there to be able to experience the time that we have.

First time staying at this campground. Our hosts and the facility was great! Everything was clean and our stay was really relaxing.

Large shade trees in sites & high desert near the campground are beautiful. Beware, the campground is not a simple right turn & you're there. I was lost... It's 45 min on a back road w no services incl. no cell service for most of it. No one at the campground answered the phone, nor responded to v.m. Also, drunk male campers woke me & again no help. Not recommended for females camping alone.

It was mostly good, but people didn't really respect quiet hours, especially in the morning.

They had water going on my tent site when I got there and the guy ignored me when I asked him to help because he was helping some guy back in his million dollar motorbike, and the BLT was $13 Won't be back!!!!

Great staff presence throughout the holiday weekend. Very nice set up for camping! Will definitely come back

The staff were amazing! Very accommodating. The campsite is definitely set up with the campers in mind.

The staff at this KOA were always very friendly and helpful. With so many people in close quarters, it is impossible not to hear your neighbors, and it was nice see that quiet hours were to start at 10p. However, on two out of the three nights we were there groups were up late talking and laughing very loudly and playing recorded music until 10:30p one night and 11:30p the next.

The KOA at Starbuck/Lyons Ferry Marina is by far the best, most aesthetically, clean and fun KOA that my family has stayed at. They have a small store for all of the "oops we forgot" small essentials. They have games to rent and kayaks/paddle boats to rent to enjoy the Snake River. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If your in the area for Palouse Falls, we highly recommend this KOA!

This was our first camping trip for my 4 year old and I and we had the best time! We stayed for 2 nights and met great people, the owner was friendly, and we had a lot of exploring opportunities. The river/beach access was a quick 2 minute drive over the bridge. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but will take advantage of the service next time! Overall we loved it!!!

A little pricey for tent camping but not too many to choose from in this isolated area. Hosts were friendly and efficient, bathrooms clean, tent site soft grass and level. Liked boat trailer parking feature. Since it was hot, the big, mature maple trees were a welcome source of refreshing shade. The songbirds put on a great show in the evening. Saw/heard many varieties. Good tasting water too!

Facilities well maintained, staff very helpful and professional. Another restroom or just add some porta-poties would help restroom congestion during busy season.

camped for 1 nite and went fishing, camping good, fishing, not so good.

I'd like to tell everyone it's a bad place to stay just to keep the numbers down but I be lying if I did. The owners are awesome and the campgrounds are taken care of very well. Really a very pleasant place to stay. Nice boat launch and covering boat slips are a bonus. Bring your boat and get out for some prime fishing. Perch, walleye, bass, bluegill, and catfish are abundant.

We had a good experience at KOA in Starbuck/Lyons Ferry. The early morning fishing neighbors were also late night people. The noise was a bit much from that large group.

I probably wouldn't recommend this site to friends or family because no one I know is planning to head out that way!However, I have to say that our tent site was delightful, with plenty of shade, a nice table, and a privacy fence. The grass was well tended and a welcome substrate.My only suggestion would be to fill in the depression where the fire ring had been removed-- it was a tripping hazard.

Neighbors on both sides were together and kept walking through our campsite and screaming. They were up until hours past quiet hours and we're cussing up a storm. It was a nightmare and anything but quiet and relaxing. I will never come back here again. This has been my experience with tent camping at every Koa and just seems to be places for disrespectful, rude and inconsiderate people.

Everything was great except the wifi. We couldn't find a network to log into from our campsite and wifi was the main reason we stayed there. Other than that, the camp site was great - clean and soft grass for our tent.

our stay at the campgrounds was very enjoyable, facility was very accommodating, service personnel was very friendly and knowledgeable, area and landscape was awesome, sunsets on the Snake river were a kodak moment, thank you. Will be back next year

The grass was green, even in sept, a nice surprise , all the facilities were operational , staff was friendly and courteous ! The only item I could make a suggestion on , would be a greater frequency of bath , shower cleaning ! There was nothing to bad , but obviously they had not been deep cleaned in a while as demonstrated by the cob webs etc ! But all in all a great KOA !

Restrooms need some work. Not all doors locked.

We stayed 3 days, and air quality aside, our stay was pretty good! We will consider coming back!

Enjoyed our overnight pit stop. The people are very friendly, owners, workers & campers. There should be recycling bins. � Unfortunately, the smoke from various forest fires dampened the views, but that isn’t the campground’s fault. It’s a great oasis in the neighbourhood. ����

I absolutely loved the deluxe cabin I stayed in! It had everything and more! Joanne and Wally are friendly and very helpful hosts!
