Campground Reviews

Oct 28, 2024
Well maintained campground. Pretty low key in the fall. Was disappointed with hot tub hours8-6. Very clean restrooms. Golf is a no go so don’t bother hauling your clubs. Beautiful spot if you don’t mind highway noise…..

Wonderful place. Very clean. In a tent, the 101 noise was a bit much, but that's the way it is. Thank-you for having a nice facility.

It was great, also, it's off season! Bathroom & showers were very clean. Only downfall, is you are right next to the freeway, but that can't be changed. So much to do in the area and it's beautiful!

The hookup’s were inconveniently placed though. Otherwise it was great.

I loved my stay at this location! I ended up in a riverside cabin and it was gorgeous day and night. I would love to see it again when the river has more water, it probably would look even better. Great KOA location to stay at and explore Avenue of the Giants and parts of the Lost Coast. If I had more time to hang around the KOA, there seems to be a ton of great stuff in and nearby to check out.

Park was not kept up and golf course was in horrible condition.

It was absolutely amazing! Even though the heater for the pool was broken they re-opened it for my family and we appreciate that. The staff and facilities were beyond what we expected.

Such a great experience! Great campsites, clean bathrooms and showers, a well stocked store, and lots of amenities. Rerouting our trip home so we can stay here again.

It's a pricey place to stay for just passing through. The facilities were nice, however. All the sites were pull-through, with sewer and 50 amps. It has a golf course, but as it was fall, it was not very green. There are golf carts for rent. The sites were long enough for us to stay hooked up. We have a truck and 31 ft. trailer.

Our dead grass at site was full of dog poo and cigarette butts. Their brochure said their sprinklers come on nightly. Someone was having a birthday party at the clubhouse which was one row away from us. Loud booming rock music and people running around till 10:00 pm. Grounds unkept. Won’t be returning.

Have to give a much deserved thank you to Debbie she has always been very helpful and accommodating, We've stayed here many times the park itself is in need of some upgrades but it is clean and functional, and they seem to be making improvements Golf course is a little rough but improving and I will say this late in the summer hard to keep everything green as they may be on water restrictions.

We have stayed at the Benbow KOA many times and always have a great time. We come back due to the friendly staff, clean facilities, and golf. We will be back again.

Everyone was so nice to us! The pool guy happened to be cleaning the pool, but he made sure we were still able to use it. Also the people at the front desk were very nice, and I was so happy there was coffee in the lobby! You have a nice variety of items for sale in case we forget anything, too. My boys LOVE the Star Wars pinball machine as well. It was a quick trip, but we really enjoyed it!

It was great, as usual. The place was clean & well kept. I have stayed here many times & the quality has always been maintained. I was surprised to see that the grass was dried up but it was September.

Clean grounds, very dry with stickers. Spaces close together. Office staff chatty. Fine for an overnight stay, freeway noise all night

5th time being here this year. Got that extra day for $50. Had to call to add on. And Jenn was so pleasant on the phone ...so helpful and nice. When we checked in,there was Jenn and Chloe. So helpful, fun lady's. Everyone that we see in the office is always so nice. We love it. We always love going north out of sonoma county, love the Redwoods. It is always a must stop, cheers

Good place for a stopover. Pool was very nice. Bathrooms were a little dated.

Great location for the park but it needs a little more attention to the grounds. Cracks in patio, dirty picnic tables, and water or sewer leak near our site. Roads in park are very narrow. Front office staff was not familiar with park amenities. Utilities were good and location was quiet even with highway nearby.

Small but well-kept KOA. Only issue is that large rigs of 40 feet or more, have some difficulty moving around the park and maneuvering into a space. However, with a little work, we were able to fit

We needed a place with WiFi and this was the only campground we could find that had wifi. It was okay for a night stay. The two women in the office were very nice! The bathrooms need some help. The showers had spider webs and spiders above them and there were sugar ants all over the walls in the shower. Most of the towel bars were broken off throughout the bathrooms. The pool looked nice!

These guys are always great and consistent on cleanliness and improvements. Lots to do with the golf course, pool, splash zone, hot tub and the Benbow Inn just a few steps away!

WE love staying at the Benbow KOA!! We stay there 3-4 times a year :-)

We stayed two nights in an RV space. The staff at check in were super nice and friendly and accommodated our request for a change in spots. This is a beautiful park, very clean and tidy with excellent facilities. Pool was sparkling, restrooms' super clean, and the easy walk to Benbow Inn for dinner was really a nice addition to our stay. We played golf and had fun!

Great staff but old and dingy.

The site was level and clean and roomy. The highway noise was minimal. Nice walking access to the Benbow Inn. If you’re a golfer you’ll like it too.

We were lucky we were there in the November / December season so lots of room for us. We loved the spacious grounds, close proximity to Redwoods and the cute town of Garberville. We ate at the Historic Inn and loved the Christmas decor and beauty of the hotel.

Beautiful campground! Stayed 3 nights in RV spot. Avenue of the Giants road is just 20 or so miles north, so spent a day doing that. Played 9 holes of golf here one day and that was fun! Lovely and friendly staff!
