All was nice. We noticed the cabins needed painting and the garbage near the restrooms needed to be emptied. Other than that, nice accommodations.

We had a good time. Went down to the river and played with are granddaughter, set by our portable campfire, and visited with people.

Sites are kept up but there was a trailer behind us that seemed to be a permanent resident. Vehicles came and went thru the night for a very short amount of time. Hard to get a good night sleep with this going on and we did not feel safe. Will not go back.

Very clean park. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative, the sites are a little small for today's larger rigs. The trees need to be trimmed back so as not to scratch sides of rigs, the electrical and water posts need moved further up in the sites.

The park is about 54-yrs old. As s such it reflects a period when trailers were much shorter and coaches were scarce. Today's larger units are oversized for the spaces. Benbow was once a first class resort Even with a 24-ft trailer and a crewcab truck the space was small. We had a good stay. My problem is that I remember the park when it was new.

ONLY 400 CHARACTERS!?! This was the most accommodating KAO I've ever stayed at. The quality of customer service I received was second to none. Due to the weather, we needed to rent the village hall for my family. They were able to immediately accommodate this request. Thank you, thank you, thank you! There was so much to do here and the staff was an absolute dream team! Y'all are the best!!!!!!!!!

That was my first KOA stay and it's also my last. The 'spot' was advertised as 'tree lined' with a patio. It was a tiny strip of pavement, soggy muddy grass/weeds, no patio as advertised and with roads on three sides. That stay alone has put me off KOA. There are many other places with far better amenities that cost less. No thank you KOA.

The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The sites are clean and can be a little muddy but that is to be expected during the rainy season. The facilities are very clean. It’s a great campground.

If you stay at the Premium sites, you’ll have solid hookups and a clean pad. The rest of this grand old park needs a lot of love (updating). Due to rains, muddy & landscaping, not just mowing, needed. This beautiful setting is worth the effort.

Nice location, good base for visiting some Redwoods. We was missing the hot tub, closed due to out of season. Nice and freindly staff.

We stayed for one night but would definitely utilize this place in the future. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms and showers and laundry too! It was quiet with the river muting most of the traffic and human activity.

Power went out and on all night— called for help and no one came or called back—our site was muddy and tight—guess it was the wrong time of year to go RV-

Kind and helpful staff. Bathrooms were clean, the clubhouse was a great place to go on our rainy day. Great location.

The park was quite and clean, the facilities were nice, the young lady at the front desk was awesome! My kids and I enjoyed playing some pool and arcade games in the lodge

It was very good. I particularly liked that I was easily able to adjust the length of my stay ahead of time with no hassle through a quick phone call.

We looked at the site map and chose to pay extra for the premium. It appeared that the sites would overlook the river which they would have had there not been so much brush blocking the view. A concrete pad also comes with the premium which was important to us because we knew there was a chance of rain that weekend. We ended up having to lay a pad due to the very long ungroomed grass and mud.

Love this campground! The trees need trimming. A little better selection for larger rigs, we couldn’t pull into our site.

We stayed “off season” so the park was virtually empty except for some long term campers. We were placed apart from other campers, which was nice. Sites are level, pull thru so easy in and out. Staff very friendly, loved that reasonably priced postcards were available as well as other merchandise specific to the area.

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
