Love the addition of the garden area. Could use a bigger exit sign for the river tubing and a catch rope if you have a hard time getting to the exit. Site K1 has a bit of an issue with ponding right in front of the porch when it rains. Some additions of stepping stones or just better drainage would be helpful.

This was our first time camping besides in our backyard. We had such a great time, adults and kids loved it! There were so many amenities! We will be back next year.

The campground is wonderful. The grounds are kept very nice. Love the garden area with the trailers. Every employee I dealt with in the store/office were extremely polite, knowledgeable and helpful. The only negative I could say is the cleanliness of the bathrooms at night. For anyone, like me, using the showers after the dayshift they got dirty showers with muddy floors.

We have been going to the mines now for 12 years and we used to have a camper but we sold it. So we now stay at the cabins once a year. We also come to day mine during the season because we only live a-few hours away. The staff is very helpful, friendly and really respectful. Our cabin was number 5. It was nice a few ants but it’s the season for bugs. All good �

We stayed in the treehouse. It was a very cool little cabin and nice and clean. Some things to keep in mind if you want to stay in the treehouse - it is SMALL! I would consider it a studio, not a 1 bedroom. There is zero closet or storage space except a few little spots under the sink in the bathroom and the towels are infant sized lol! Tricky for 4 people but ok for two!

Overall a good stay. Courteous checking. Wi-Fi needs a power boost especially with spotty cell service.

Beautiful and clean campground, staff friendly and helpful. Cabin had every amenities you could need. The campground is just a little overpriced, I know things nowadays are inflated but 2 pizzas and 10 wings shouldn’t be 60! The store there too jacks up the prices, but other then that great campground

The Kabin was neat, clean and well equipped. We liked the river ride, but it was too cold for us to experience this stay. The staff was warm and welcoming and helpful in answering questions.

All went well although PRICING has increased dramatically and they DECREASED activities - no more rock bingo, no more ice cream social or dj, no more pancake breakfast or tie dye...VERY disappointing

We had an amazing time!! Stayed in one of the cabins with no bathrooms and found the outdoor shared ones to be extremely clean and the cabin to be very comfortable! Every worker on site was extremely friendly and respectful. Our first time at a KOA site and hope to go back again!

Timing is everything? KOACompany party first night. No food on site open. (Thought there were 3). Checked in @ 4:30 Had to leave to find diner in town. Cabin -up next to the mine. That was convenient. getting down to the pool, water, food trucks needed car. Mining is $18per person. Less than 1/2 roll toilet paper for 4 of us, very dirty silverware- It really was a Nice cabin. I expected too much.

Great time even with the rain. Nice to have linens provided. Friendly staff. Missed the basketball court.
Aug 27, 2023
we had a fantastic time. the activities were great. we loved the bonfire and music on friday night. the cabin was decent. what i’d expect from glamping. the staff went above & beyond to get us blankets and a propane grill to use to cook our dinner. HUGE thanks Josh ! my boys (and husband)!had a great time mining for gems. we will def be back.
Aug 26, 2023
The best campground I've stayed at so far. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Thanks to Josh, Travis, and the rest of the crew for an enjoyable experience. Will definitely be visiting again next year.

Cabin was clean and ready for our stay. Pool was very dirty. Both the on-site restaurant and Scoops Ice Cream truck were closed when they should have been open. I asked why icecream closed /guy said I dont know We visited the Camp Store 3/4 times during our stay. I was with my 9yr old one of the times and they were blasting inappropriate music. Music with profanities like F**k. I was shocked.

Nice upgrades
Aug 25, 2023
Had a nice stay in RK5. Although the furnishings were not quite what was posted online we made do just fine. The staff was very friendly and got us what we needed. The weather for mining was great and we found some very nice clear and smoky gems. Wish the lapidary booth was open though - been here 2x and haven't had a chance to see what can be made out of our finds. Hopefully next year! Thx!

The new bier garten is amazing. Wonderful property. Stayed in cabin 78. Only “issue” would be that we wanted to go have a drink and order food from the local Miners diner and no staff were actually manning the diner. Also the tall fire pits at our and the neighboring station really need to be dug into the ground so that the embers of the fire continue to produce a nice fire on larger pieces.

Stayed in DK3 was great, could use better linen supply/ replenishment, TP. Overall stay was great diamond pit out the back door. Our gro found about 200 diamonds over 4 day stay, be ready to smash rocks

We really enjoyed our stay at Herkimer KOA. We all found some Herkimer diamonds, and enjoyed the short walk across the street. The tubing looked really fun, but the water was a little too cold for me. My niece's cabin was right on the river and there were three little ducks that were very friendly. All linens were provided in cabins, which was a nice treat. The cabin was very comfortable.

Great

The friendly staff welcomed and oriented us, and throughout our three night stay, helped us however they could. We liked the central location to area attractions. It was charming and cheerful with the food and ice cream bars set in a gathering area set with outdoors lounging and lawn games. They enforce quiet hours. The bath house, pool and laundry were clean. Only negative: no cable, Roku, or TV.

This was our second year staying at this KOA. Upon arriving at the Astronomy Lodge we noticed black mold on two of the air conditioners. The one it the main living area was worse than the other and only blew warm air. The telescope didn’t work even with the app. The pool needs more skimming. Prices of food options high. Stingy on towels and toilet paper. Bed was comfy. Futon wasn’t. We’ll be

We stayed on the treehouse cabin. Very charming, but was not fitting for 4 adults. The bunks were uncomfortable & candy wrappers were under the mattresses when we went to put sheets on the beds. It’s perfect for a couple & small children, but no room for their luggage. It’s small, charming & rustic & the campgrounds are awesome.
Aug 18, 2023
This was our first visit and we had a great time. I was impressed with how clean and well manicured the property was. Very friendly staff as well. My only recommendation is to please offer more food options. This is the only thing that would prevent us from coming back. Not everyone comes equipped to cook their own meals and restaurants are few and far between.

We had a fantastic time. There is lots to do and keep the kiddos busy.
Aug 17, 2023
The right interesting and well located . BUT the quality/price ratio ... oufff!! the bathroom and water flow were horrible. Access to Tv impossible. No wood for the fire, firelighters or newspaper. For the price I expected more, $275/night.
Aug 16, 2023
Most uncomfortable mattress and sofa that we could not complete our stay.
Aug 16, 2023
Accommodations wear perfect we stayed in a deluxe cabin . My kids were comfortable and we had fun at the mines , searching for diamonds. We Will definitely go back .

Incredibly disappointed. Rented the observatory cabin with associated services to ensure my 9 month pregnant wife and toddler would have a pleasant stay. Things were so bad I had to rely on the amenities in my father in law's camper to take care of them. Stove top couldn't boil water, couldn't get fresh towels and had to re-use wash cloth for toddler 5 days in a row, telescope didn't work . . . .

This was our first camping experience as a family. We had SO much fun! Travis and his family do an amazing job with making guests feel at home and keeping the grounds beautiful. We are looking forward to next year’s trip!

Travel on motorcycles so eating at the food trailer was very convenient. But food is very expensive especially for a family resort.
Aug 14, 2023
We stayed in Bluebird Cabin and I would say the following things about it: location and overall experience positive. Disappointed in this cabin after a stay in Solar lodge last year. Floor soft in 3 places. The stove was not the best for cooking and the grill outside was so beat up it took forever to cook food. The cabin was not worth the cost due to lack of upkeep.

I wanted to introduce my family to the joy of being in the raw elements of nature so I thought I would take them to this site far away from the city only to be clumped up with an overcrowded site. We were all on top of each other with no feeling of nature. The neighbors are right next to you just like the city. No I will not use this site again.
Aug 14, 2023
Overall our stay was pretty good. Only issue we ran into was noise with the people beside us. They were quite loud playing some sort of game with music until midnight. Perhaps I should of enquired ahead of time if there is a number to call when there are noise issues, however a proactive patrol would have also helped with asking them to quiet down.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Meeting Harold (was driving a golf cart, tending to grounds) was a high point of trip. His energy and appreciation for all the beauty around him was palpable and contagious! Big Kudos to him. We were tempted to tip him but refrained because we really felt his joy was in truly helping and didn’t want to offend him, but he rocked and deserves to be noticed
Aug 11, 2023
Short but sweet, will definitely be back!
Aug 11, 2023
So mostly everything about the stay was great. My biggest complaints are that when I booked I was promised a queen size bed for 2 people but instead showed up to a small full size bed, so that made sleeping at night very uncomfortable. And the a/c worked but sounded broken and very loud. Check in was at 3pm but when we got there at 3:30 one room wasn't ready. I'll leave google review as well.

Harlod B is an incredible asset to your organization. He was beyond helpful. The facilities and play/family areas were great. We will definitely come back.

We love this campground and the diamond mines. The staff here are so nice. The new RV sites are my favorite.

I will definitely come back!!! The drive to this place from home is only 20 min and with a 9 month old baby, is VERY CONVENIENT . I absolutely loved everything this place offered! Could not use the pool because it wasn't ready yet so that was the only thing that disappoint me. I went camping 6 years ago and my experience was so horrible that I hated camping no matter where!!! But this place made me LOVE CAMPING! And I look forward to visit here every summer! Also my 6 year old LOVED IT IN ALL THE WAYS POSSIBLE HE HAD SO MUCH FUN ! Thank you to the employees for the attention.
