Campground Reviews

Sep 14, 2023
We just stayed one night as a stopover on our way home, and glad it was only one night. We got set up and noticed there were a lot of flies around our campsite and at times noticed a terrible dead fish like smell. It turns out it was not the dumpster, there was a device to attract flies attached to the tree in our site, THAT was the awful smell!! NOT a good experience at this KOA.

We had a very nice time. My family had two sites next to each other ( very important). Husband's golfers, the girls used the jacuzzi. The pool was very cloudy,, but we heard you had a big weekend. The power went out in the middle of the night, but came back on within 15 minutes. We were very happy with our stay. Staff was very friendly. Next time, I'll request a fire ring site.

My first visit! Very friendly staff at check-in and the few purchases I made at the store. The restrooms were clean. Loved the pool towels. A nice “resort” touch!

Don't really care to pay for a premium price to listen to i guest play their boom box so loud I could hear it at the other end of the park. I asked staff twice to do something about it to my knowledge no one did anything I finely had to say something to them that's NOT what I came there for I'm local and try to support this business, but unless this sort of thing st will be the last time.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, especially Scotty. Unfortunately, our stove and oven in #45 was not working or the toilet. I am hoping we might get a free night at a KOA to compensate us for the inconvience.

Camped on west side, towards the Hwy. tremendous fly population, flys all over, many got inside our rig. Spent so much time trying to kill flys. The grass strip on that side of park was popular for dog pooping & not picking up feces ='s fly infestation. Other than that, wonderful facility!

Nice pool and hot tub Spacious sites with some shade Friendly staff, good laundry facilities at $2 each, nice store. One staff said they were ‘moving trash from campground dumpster’ to another business until it got dumped by garbage company. I don’t believe the abundance of flies would be so bad if they’d have garbage dumped as needed. Some staff seem to be living in cabins.

Thank you for saving our place! We always like staying at Benbow!

Friendly & helpful staff. Unfortunately after labor day weekend the dumpsters were overflowing and as a result, at times the wind would carry a pungent odor through camp. In addition to the smell there was an over-abundance of flies (clearly a by product of the filled dumpsters ). Sadly, the trash never got picked up during our stay so I cannot say if the “fly issue” would have resolved.

Over priced

I was just going by and needed an unserviced tenting site. The nice lady at the desk gave me the only site left which was exactly what I needed. My only concern is that if the only two tenting sites would have been occupied, I would have been out of luck. I would like KOA to try to cater a bit more to people like me and have more unserviced tenting sites available.

Sites too small for big rigs (40 ft towing jeep). Trash containers overflowing onto ground. Employees driving around in golf carts all day doing no apparent work including making space for trash and helping guide campers to their sites.

The front desk ladies were wonderful!!! So helpful and kind. We were stuck at the last campground so we were one night late for Benbow and they credited us.

Great campground, wonderful staff. We loved it

Trees need to be trimmed so coaches can drive through TIGHT spaces, feels old and could use a lot of street work. Just OK

We were stopping through on our way to Yosemite. We really enjoyed the area and the site. It was beautiful. The Avenue of the Giants trail was the highlight for us and being so close to so many beautiful activities.

My girlfriend and I stayed a week at Benbow KOA California. Riding electric bikes we brought, taking long walks, swimming at the wonderful pool, eating at the historic Benbow Inn, spending time with kids and grandchild. And most of all we relaxed and rejuvenated our souls in this beautiful place. Thanks ����

Men’s bathroom door was closed and the digital key would not open the door.

Couldn’t have been in a better place during surprising downpour, thunder and lightening. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Cherry on top was dinner at Benbow Inn. Special mention: the restrooms and showers are immaculate. That was most appreciated. We will be back when again in NorCal.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. Your amenities are very nice.

After a long day of driving, it was great to get to Benbow KOA. Very nice, clean campground. The hot tub and swimming pool were just what I needed. We will stay there again.

We were comfortable. The facilities are very convenient for tent campers. The people at the reception are most friendly and helpful.

We had a great time. All went well with the water, power etc. We will be back in November.

We really enjoyed our stay. We hope that this location will have more tent sites. It would be nice to have the pool open later then 8pm.

Nice campground. Level, roomy, grassy site. Has a nice golf course and an inn within walking distance.

I was at the KOA for a Family gathering. Since I don't have a Motor Home/Trailer I stayed in a small one room triplex which was clean & quiet. Next year I will reserve the same room.

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
