Staff is very friendly indeed

All of the grass is dead, the place looked very run down. Sites were not level. Definitely needs an update. However, staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Placed in the far back location. Old peeling table at site. No codes for safety on on bathrooms. No one around our site. Opened windows at night and very strong smell of weed out the window. In the early morning watched two homeless leave sight with a bike stashed in brush. Would not recommend to my friends or family for safety reasons. With clean up and security could be a great stop!

Goat heads in the grass are horrible. I know the watering system isnt working but at least rake the darn goat heads out. It was all over my dogs. The kids tracked it in the rv on their cloths. All in our blankets. $90 bucks a night on a week day is rough when the sites arent very clean. Also, at least pull the weeds in the pool area. Thats the one place you can put some effort in maintenance

Nice site. Shade would have been a great plus

Been faithful staying at Benbow KOA for the past 10 yrs for the 4th of July and this year I was extremely disappointed with the park. The campsites/golf course are brown and not being watered. We used to book our site for the following year on this weekend and apparently booking opened up in March of 26 for July of 27 and I was told I couldn’t book for July 27 when I called in June of 26.

Nice facility, bathrooms and showers very clean. Other campers were super friendly. We only stayed for one night and moved on to our final destination. We would definitely stay at this KOA again!!

It gets worse every year. Close what you call a golf course and use the water on the grass around the campsites. The only good thing was the check in team. Very friendly. We have been there 4 times but won’t be back unless some changes happen. Fix the dust bowl.

they were friendly and check in was easy . liked the you could walk to the rest At check in they were friendly and organized. I liked that it was a short walk to the Benbow Inn restaurant .

We had a great time at Benbow. The campground was clean and the staff is very friendly. Can’t wait to go back again.

The location is fine, the golf course advertised is nothing like the actual golf course. The golf course, as well as the campsites are completely brown and full of weeds. Very sad they have let it go, it used to be what the pictures are advertised to be. No greenery, such a bummer. Didn’t even pull out the golf clubs.

The customer service and Benbow team are extremely kind and helpful. The pool and hot tub were so fun plus the splash pad our kids loved. Playground was good for our young kid. Enjoyed the fire pit. Loved the river access.

Everything was fine, but the cabin was in need of quite a few repairs, some of which were safety issues. And the place wasn't very clean. For the amount of money charged to stay, I feel the place should be kept in top shape. The staff was very friendly and accommodating tho.

We booked two cabins side by side so both our family can be close to each other. We received an email weeks before our stay asking that one of our cabins was occupied by a family with special medical needs and asked if we could relocate one of our cabins further away. We graciously agreed. Both cabins we orignially booked were two bedrooms.Our "new cabin" was only one bedroom.

Had a great time walking to the river and catching a swim with our dogs.
Jul 06, 2026
Sadly it’s gone down hill. They are not watering the grass. Seems to be getting run down. Staff was great!
Jul 06, 2026
Between mixing up our sites after we paid extra money to lock in our sites, the dead grass with burrs sticking in our dogs fur, the lack of toilet paper, paper towels, and other cabin necessities in our friends cabin, the trailer who wouldnt leave after his 11:00 checkout which left our friends waiting for 3 hours in 95 degrees heat to get in another site, Id say they have a bit of improvement to!
Jul 05, 2026
Sites were not maintained, campground has minimal provisions and staff didn't direct parking or tow vehicles and sites were hard to access
Jul 04, 2026
Grass was brown, golf course kind of a joke, our site was supposed to be 70 feet but there is no way it was that long. We upgraded to a deluxe site and we didn’t see anything deluxe. Have been to other KOA’s on deluxe sites that had a grill and nice tables with an umbrella and chairs We didn’t have anything nicer than those with a regular site

WE HAVE BEEN COMING THERE FOR YEARS AND LOVE THE CAMPSITES WE ALWAYS RESERVE. t MISS NOT HAVING CABLE TV! IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET IT BACK. ALSO THE SWIMMING POOL WATER WAS SO COLD! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR AS ALWAYS!

Outdated, run down & grass is all weeds. Park could be made nice with some upkeep & watering.

Wonderful staff, pool and other amenities.

$65 dollars per nite for a primitive site is pretty outrageous Especially when there was trash on the sight tent stakes, plastic bits, paper bag full of something, a soccer ball. And the creek view was not maintained. I've never been to a tent site without a fire pit. Bathhouse could use proper maintenance.

One of the nicest settings for a KOA camp with the Benbow Inn, golf, and state park nearby. Hard to beat.
Jun 26, 2026
We were disappointed by the condition of the Benbow KOA during our recent stay. This campground has so much potential, but it appears to have been neglected. The grass throughout the campground was dry and littered with trash, giving the grounds an unkempt appearance. The entrance road had a pothole, and the roads between the campsites were in similar condition, making it difficult to navigate.
Jun 26, 2026
The facilities were clean overall although it seemed that the restrooms were not cleaned daily as stated. Toilet rolls and garbage not emptied or refilled. The grounds were very dry and weedy. Lots of dry bur clover. The pool area was nice and inviting. The dryness is a big issue to us and our family. Access to Benbow Inn is great.

Poorly maintained

This place has gone way downhill. How you can call it a Holiday is a joke. There is also no way to say they have a golf course. This was one of our favorites RV parks to go to and we have been coming here way before it was a KOA but I think will be the last time. This park needs a total upgrade. I don't think they have spent a dime on this place for years other than adding cabins.

This was our first time at the Benbow KOA. There was plenty to do at the resort itself. But if you want to adventure away there's plenty to see on the HWY 101. The best part was seeing the kids and family's having so much fun outside, on their bikes, at the pool, or in the river. It was a relaxing weekend.
Jun 22, 2026
It was fine for the event we were there for. I did not use the pool. golf or bathrooms. Just the camp site. The connections need upkeep, as do the grounds.
Jun 22, 2026
Staff was very nice.

Clean, super friendly staff! We loved the site we stayed at.
Jun 20, 2026
Everything was good. I would say that the sewer connection is way too high up in the air. I have a sewer hose accordion thing that helps water run down the sewer pipe. It did not work because the connection is six inches above my hose end. Hey you asked. Staff was very friendly.

The campground was noisy. Neighboring campers were using power tools before 9 a.m.

We stayed at the Benbow KOA for spring break 2024. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Check-in was a breeze. Since it was Easter weekend, the campground staff hosted an egg hunt for the kids with an appearance from the Easter Bunny. It was pretty awesome! We stayed in a FHU “comfort” patio site 52, with relatives staying in Tent Site T1, right across the road from our site. The RV site required minimal leveling and all hookups were well maintained. The site included patio furniture and a fire pit. The patio was nice since the grass was muddy from all the winter rain. The showers and bathrooms appeared clean and maintained. The hot tub was open, but it was too early in the season for the pool and splash pad. The laundry room was large and had newer machines. The gift shop had all the essentials for RVers and guests. There is also 2 arcade games, a Star Wars pinball machine and pool table in the lounge area of the front office. They have a small library of books and board games, dice and dominoes to use. The dog park area is on the smaller side, but there are some great pet walk areas around the resort. There is also a small 9 hole golf course next to the KOA. The WiFi was good and able to stream. The cable was not so good due to limited channels and fuzz (could have been my fault). The historic Benbow Inn across the way was a nice surprise with good food options, a full bar and traditional afternoon tea. It's a short walk on a nice path or you can drive there. We were within a few freeway exits of the Avenue of the Giants and a lot of other famous trees and redwood groves in the area. One exit away, in Garberville, there is a supermarket called Ray's Food Place and an awesome Mexican restaurant called El Cora Restaurant. There are fuel options in Garberville as well. I would definitely recommend Benbow KOA to others.

We arrived just before 8:00 p.m. with no reservations and we're greeted by Chloe and Juan who attended to our every need. Thank you for hiring the best. They are definitely an asset to your company. We so enjoyed our time there even though it was real short. Thank you again for your hospitality. You were amazing! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend your campground to anyone traveling

Best KOA cabins we have stayed in. Many models to choose from in the midst of Redwood country. We have stayed there many times, and they are always outstanding. They are very clean and spotless - you can walk around in your socks and they won't get dirty. Spacious and well stocked, towels, dishes, everything. Sheets are crisp. Staff is wonderful and helpful. You can dine at the adjacent historic Benbow Inn. Just wonderful.
