Campground Reviews

Aug 30, 2022
The single cabin was small but clean and comfortable enough. The air conditioning was adequate and quickly responsive. All the children in our group had a great time. It was a bit expensive but the location desired.

spent two nights there. Third stay at Benbow. The place is lacking simple maintenance. Light bulbs in restrooms out. Hooks missing from shower doors, lawn needs mowing and water. Hot tub not working. Outside spray shower not working properly.

Good stay. Not too crowded and we got a round of 9 holes of golf in at the course right next door. Checked out the Benbow Inn.

Beautiful campground, very well maintained, such nice facilities and great, friendly service! I plan to go back often. The nicest RV campground I’ve stayed in.

I rented 2 cabins for 2 nights. . The cabins are very nice. No drawer space for clothes though. Cabin 37 has very good air conditioning with units in both bedrooms also. Cabin 38 only had one wall unit. Cabin 38 has nice back porch and full kitchen. If it's a hot day don't use the oven!! My boys love the golf course and the kids loved the club house activities and the river beach.

Great People. Very nice and helpful. Bathrooms are The Worst. Both the wife and I could NOT use the showers, or any other part of the bathrooms Complete remodel is way overdue especially at $90.+ a night. We have been coming for over 20 years (3 times in the last year)

The cabin was neat, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. The only fall was the hot tube was out of order. Otherwise, it was great. Highly recommend Benbow KOA!

Nice location. Overpriced and ladies bathroom not clean. Go into first shower on right and there’s mold. I stayed twice and it was never cleaned. Same goes for tiles. Yuk… Staff super nice though.

We had a great time. Lots of activities for the little ones. The only bummer was the splash pad was not working properly.

Justin at the front desk was very helpful and amazing. Being a newbie he really made sure I was taken care of.

Stayed in one of the cabins. Nicely decorated but, the one we were in, #44, was very small and mattress was too soft. Swimming pool was great in that the weather was high 90s. Hot tub and children’s water park needs to be repaired and in working order. Neither was functioning. We have family that lives very close so, I’m sure we’ll stay there again.

We had an amazing time. Wish the splash pad and the hot tub would have been working but the pool was great! Campground was very clean. Wifi could be better but oh well we didnt really need it. We will be back!

Beautiful peaceful setting with top notch amenities!

Staff friendly and knowledgeable; showers good. Nice and quiet. Longest spaces too short for 40 ft motorhome towing a short car; forced to disconnect car to navigate space and exit.
Aug 16, 2022

Very nice KOA! We had a problem with the electricity at our site. Two camp hosts came and tried to fix the problem. It was a Sunday so the electrician was not there. We had to move to a different site- they discounted our stay. I’d come back and stay here! We were just traveling through so we didn’t use the pool or spa.
Aug 16, 2022
all was good- one of better KOA stays
Aug 15, 2022
Excellent customer service. Loved the kids activities and the pool!
Aug 15, 2022
Lovely shaded level pull thru. Bathroom clean. Pool area nice and clean. WiFi was not great, warned us before arrival so we had a back up plan. Check in was smooth and all workers were very friendly. Great spot to explore redwood parks.

We stayed in one of the modular trailers with other compartments next to us. We stayed in A hoping to not be next to another guest in the next room, having to listen to all their noises. The guests next to us were placed in B and their was no one in C. And the air conditioning unit was directly over the bed, adding more noise to what could of been a peaceful night of sleep. Room was clean :-)
Aug 15, 2022
Overall an above average KOA. The only negative was the dead grass and dirt on my site. The golf course is a huge plus for me! Shirt and Sharyn couldn’t be nicer. They are a great asset for your park. We will return!
Aug 15, 2022
Nice park and not a far drive to avenue of the giants
Aug 14, 2022
Our family didn’t get a chance to use any of the accommodations due to an unexpected late arrival. We rented a sleeper cabin, my kids thought it was awesome, until we discover a very large spider in my bed. YES, it was alive and looked like a brown recluse! In addition the river had toxic blue-green algae, my boys were terrified our dog would drink from the river and die. ASAP a.m. departure.

Very clean, nice workers, great showers and close to the beautiful redwoods!!

Great Campground, nice environment but the staff is the best!
Aug 13, 2022
It all started when we checked in, the park management were great to work with. Very nice, accommodating, welcoming. They were the type of people who insure you are having a great time.
Aug 13, 2022
Lots of trees and shade. Pool was great for swimming laps early in the morning before the kids took over. Nice and mostly quiet. Will come back when rivers are safe for our dog. Office and outdoor staff was very friendly!!
Aug 13, 2022
Nice campground and very convenient. If we had more time we would've stayed longer. Will definitely go back.
Aug 13, 2022
Friendliest staff I have experienced at a KOA and I have never had a bad experience at KOAs. Every question and need of mine was met with a friendly face/smile and knowledgeable insight.
Aug 12, 2022
Lovely big campsites. Lots of trees! Fun golf. Beautiful pool. Only complaint is cleanliness of the shower stalls. Very poorly maintained and cleaned.
Aug 12, 2022
Beautiful setting and RV sites are spacious with nice trees. Your staff is VERY friendly! But your bathrooms need PROMPT attention. A major clean-up is needed- the use of bleach and a power wash. The showers have black mold on the walls and under the handicapped seats! Some showers don't drain properly. The shower handles & heads are not working properly. The black mats need weekly cleaning. Thx

Always very nice people working at this KOA. The only two things this time is the internet is really bad and wish people would pick up after their dogs in the camping places

We traveled the 101 from Southern California to Oregon. Benbow was a wonderful place to stay for a few days to enjoy the beauty of the Redwood forest, swim in the river and have dinner at the gracious Benbow Inn. It was nice to have amenities at the campground also.
Aug 11, 2022
Kamping Kabins were perfect for me and my 2 kids- clean, all the amenities we could want, lovely back and front porches- which we loved, even with fans! Staff is friendly and helpful, and we had a blast playing soccer golf. Great time, we will be back!

The hot tub has been broken for MONTHS! What is the flipping problem?? Get the hot tub fixed. When I asked around, I was told that the owner or manager deletes/edits the negative reviews. Hey! Great option for them to keep the truth from being told. Guess I'll just need to post on Campendium & Yelp. Will also inquire @ KOA headquarters to find out why this is allowed. OK grounds, Great staff.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our Hot Tub Heater failed, and we are awaiting replacement. Due to Supply Chain issues, sadly this is taking longer than desired. We cannot Edit nor Delete reviews, we just reply like we are here. Hope you can return again, ask for Justin Legge, General Manager to talk in details in person. Thanks!

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
