Campground Reviews

Enjoyed it just like we always do.

We had a great RV site in the back of the campground. My only complaint is with the dog owners who feel it is ok to not have dogs on leashes. While out with our 2 small dogs, who were always on leashes, they were attacked by a much larger dog. While neither was hurt, I think it is important that KOA enforce the leash policy. Many, many dogs running around off leash.

For the first time in years the place was very well kept up. It was very relaxing and clean. It has not been that way for years. Very much appreciated the up grade.

The receptionist was outstanding. Personable, looked you in the eye when talking, completed full sentences when speaking. She was kind and also dressed nicely for her job. When we asked to park in a spot next to our site, she accommodated us with no hesitation. She was a great example of anyone working with the public.

The woman at the front desk was awesome. Rest of facility looked a bit tired and abandoned.

We stayed at Benbow in mid April 2026. Would not recommend this KOA as it is really run down and in need of a refresh. RV sites are not being maintained. They also had no hot water for showers. The golf course is just fields mowed down and the greens are just shorter grass, but it is appropriately priced at $10 and would be a fun place to play with non golfers. The staff was very friendly though.

I was very upset about the park conditions. When we arrived at the park it was almost empty. And it seemed that some of the spaces had the grass mowed, BUT all of the sites that had RV's arriving were not mowed and the grass was 6" to 8" tall. Not one of the mowed sites had a RV come into those sites. Also broken branches, roads with loose gravel and potholes. NOT KOA STANDARDS!!!!!

The park is nice but need a lot of yard work some sites were mowed but most had not been in a while. The dog park was a mess the grass was very long looked like it had not been mowed in weeks most of the grass was a foot plus in length which my 14lb dog was not happy about.

We had a great time! I would have rated you the top score had the hot water been working in the bathroom by our tent site and it would have been nice to have the office open for longer periods of time. The staff were great! Very friendly and helpful with pointing out recommended sites to visit. Thanks so much! I've already told several friends about your facility!�

The facilities are poorly maintained.

The employee on staff that most pleasant and helpful to get us checked. The work crew were doing a lot of dirt work and could have kept the dirt and mud off of the roads in the park. The park was very nice otherwise and we enjoyed our stay. The park internet was not in service from about 4:00 on Saturday and until we left on Sunday. We liked the park and would come back!

The location is the best part of this stay. Close to The Avenue of the Giants. I realize that it's off season but the hours of the office was 1pm to 4pm. One of the bathrooms didn't have hot water. Travelers coming after the office closed, without reservations, didn't have any direction for available sites, rates to pay, or written directions to these. We would probably stay here again.

It was good, however I do not understand why you do not keep the grass trimmed to make a more pleasant atmostphere.

Off season was quiet. The river and campground are beautiful. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Our campsite was comfy and clean.

The WiFi doesn’t work very well. Park wasn’t very busy.

Overall they stay was good. With the exception of the one bathroom had no hot water. We were there three days and it should have been fixed within that time.

The park at best average. We didn't have any problems but we didn't feel it was of value. We understand it is off season but we did pay season rates. Upper bathhouse no hot water. The store, louge and bathhouse only open 1pm to 4 pm. The highlight of the stay was check in the young lady was grest.

Our stay was very enjoyable and they helped us locate a replacement gas cap that we had lost along the way. Thank you

We stayed 1 night while traveling through on our way home. Park was clean, sites were level and well cared for. Can't say a lot about park facilities as its off season and staffing was limited.

We stayed two nights in March at a back in site

It was pretty hot for us, being only March. So spent a lot of time in the trailer with thw A/C. It was quiet and relaxing. Grounds were well taken care of.

Beautiful area, beautifully maintained campgrounds. We stayed in mid March which is off season but it would have been nice to have the store open longer hours (it was only open from 1-4) and better stocked with things like firewood, charcoal and snacks. Only one of the campground bathrooms had hot water, which didn't last long and made showering a challenge. Great trip overall though!

It was our first camping trip with our pop up camper and most of our usual camping spots were still closed for the season. The river spot was beautiful and the kids loved the playground and sport court. It was a bummer that the hot water in the only shower area wasn’t working, and my son wished the game room was open more than the 3 hrs that the store was open but otherwise we had a good time.

We have stayed here several times and each time we have enjoyed our selfs.
Mar 11, 2026
confusing after hours check in procedure. I had to make several calls to make sure someone knew I was there and would take my money. The procedure does not match the instructions. No amounts, no envelopes. First time checking in without someone there. Really like the camp.

Sites are too small for large rvs. Our was supposed to be 50 feet, but couldn’t accommodate our truck and trailer.
Mar 10, 2026
We stayed two nights. It is the off season so the office was only open from one to four each day. Had to ask for wash cloths. We stayed in a cabin.

No hot water in the restroom closest to our site was inconvenient.

Couldn’t use the main bathroom because they were only open from 1 to 4 pm.

The campground was fine. Cancellation policy stinks. Due to changes in dangerous weather, I tried to cancel less than 12 hours after making a reservation. I was told the policy required cancellation a WEEK in advance to obtain a refund. No exceptions.

Park is rundown. Half of all washers and dryers are out of order. Office hours 1-4. At the mercy of when they open office to use the spa. Spa is also being used by guests of the hotel within walking distance. Spa is frequently filled with children using it as their own personal swimming pool. So far on my three month trip this is the worst of the worst.
Feb 24, 2026
The office was closed at 4PM, seemed early. The CODE to access the bathroom was no where to be found. At one point is was simply open to all , the next time it was locked so I could not use it. SAD !

It’s a lovely little park with nice, accommodating staff. My rig is small so I normally have to take back in spots. Your short corner pull through was a treat as was the covered picnic table area of the dog park. Thank you for these little perks, they make all the difference.

We loved out stay. Already told friends about it. Was a little muddy but expected for the time of year. I do have one suggestion, maybe during the fall when the leaves are on the ground, have a landscape crew come in and remove all of the dead leaves before they get wet and mushy. It would look a lot cleaner than what it did. Other than that, we will probably be back soon. Thank you.

Very clean comfortable and quiet.

Great, lighted dog run area! Sites are level and dry. Shower water is hot and plentiful. Shower heads could use some updating. Train whistles are a good wake up call. Not too loud, but start at 0630.

Staff was friendly in the office. Very disappointed that the office store did not carry ice. Also, we called ahead and nobody answered the phone or returned our call. All the bathrooms and laundry room were left unlocked. Seems like a security issue. Also, the garbage cans were too difficult to open. What’s up with an additional $5.00 fire fee? We won’t be back.

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.
