Beautiful, friendly, helpful, & convenient place to stay. Close enough to walk to Historic Benbow Hotel for nice a meal. There's a wonderful golf course too.

Thank you for spending time with us at the KOA and Benbow Historic Inn! Glad to hear you got to enjoy many of our amenities and hope to see you again soon!

The location is really great & is right on the river by Benbow Inn.The resort has nice sized spots that are almost all full hookups & mature trees.With that said, the once green landscaping is dry & in need of care. Pool area lacks lounge chairs & is over ran by unattended children jumping & diving in. Most the staff are very young but are polite.The pool bathrooms really need attention as well.

Loved it! Cozy cabin, peaceful grounds. Hot tub was a huge plus, but needed a little cleaning. Will be back!

Friendly staff 1) Grounds are looking tired and dated. 2) Cost is out of line with camping experience. 3) Need standards for long term tenants. (no junk, dead plants, etc. around the RV) 4) Except for the office building, landscaping was dry and not kept tidy. 5) Garbage bin area was very unattractive. 6) Restrooms at rear of park were fairly clean but did not smell clean.

We always enjoy our stay. The campground is clean, the staff is friendly and it’s very quiet. We had a deluxe patio site and loved it.

The cabin was nice but the amenities were NOT. Especially the bath soap provided. I have never seen such a small bar of soap... you could hardly hold it. Come on guys... for $230/night.. I think you can provide a decent bar of soap. I'm sure soap doesn't cost that much. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Would also be nice to have a box of Kleenex.

Warm welcome. Nice campground; clean and well organized.

Beautiful campsite, great staff.

Best bathrooms in a KOA and we have stayed in many. Our problem was the grounds. Mostly solid mats of burrs so our velcro dog picked up everyone she stepped on. We carried her to the only patch of green near us. Not fun for any of us.

All good, perfect.

Nothing about this KOA matches the description and photos. The bathrooms were disgusting. There is no green lawn. You pay for a premium patio site and the only difference in the cheap site and the expensive site is the difference in the table same exact site rundown place.

Very clean and beautiful

Everything is completely DRY.. I was shocked that it still advertises a 9 hole golf course... it was basically the color of HAY!! It also said there was a children's waterpark basically, they can only run it on the weekend and only for 10 minutes a daytime!!! ...come to find out according to CA law they can not run the water HOWEVER< that is not a excuse for advertising it!!
Sep 22, 2025
There is inadequate lighting along the road nearest the river and around the bathroom facilities. You need to remove dying trees and replant. Improve the landscaping. Staff was helpful and friendly however which was much appreciated.
Sep 22, 2025
We had to arrive late due to highway 101 being shut down and the staff made it so easy for us to get parked and setup. Thanks for a great overnight!

Your campground is a disgrace. Excuses about vineyards consuming water necessary to green up the golf course have been going on for years. The rv sites are dry as a bone and filthy. When checking in to our "premium" site - I had to spend time picking up tons of dog poop in our "dry grass" area and there was trash in the fire pit. Do you think you could enclose or at least paint the trash dumpster

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I apologize for the misinformation and not meeting expectations. The vineyards are not our problem, our pump for the course was ripped out of the river and we are waiting on Fish and Game to approve a well. There is no excuse for your site being dirty and ensure our newer staff will be more diligent

I have stayed at the Benbow KOA three times in the past couple of years and it always has been exceptional. I love the location, all the amenities, and the fact that people are respectful and quiet in the evenings.

The nicest staff , clean amenities

Wonderful place to stay. Large spaces. Loved the pool. Loved the showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Avenue of the Giants. Close to the Ocean.

Staff at front desk very helpful and friendly. The Cabin was worn out and falling apart in dire need of replacement! Water leaks, flooring appliance issues and sewer odors! Nasty!

Quiet, comfortable accommodations in an adorable cabin!

Clean and quiet

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Due to water restrictions most of the grass for the campground and golf course is dead. In addition they are only able to turn on the splash pad for 10min every hour on the weekends. Overall good experience!

We just stayed one night but, it is a lovely campground. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. It would be a great addition if they could add a dog park.

Loved all the trees, the kitties (they keep the mice at bay and out of RVs while being cute), the showers and the friendly staff. Most RV parks are little more than parking lots but this KOA is quite nice.
Sep 16, 2025
Unfortunately, our dog couldn’t go in water because of blue algae, we stayed in back part for just one night…traveling thru…park has some nice features but it needs some serious gardening upkeep and watering. Didn’t care for open gate in the back either. It could be so great there…nice clean bathrooms!

It was a very nice place to stay. We will stay there again

Great people that work there and very comfortable. Internet and cell service if hit and miss. Benbow Inn was fabulous food!
Sep 13, 2025
We have stayed here a few times abd really enjoy the proximity to the Avenue of the Giants. The sites are level and perfect size for our C-class RV and jeep. Enjoy the pool and hot tub as well. You can hear the highway noise but it didn't bother me very much. The staff is very friendly and heloful.

Check in was easy and the staff very helpful and friendly, Campsite was good with only 2 complaints: Table was missing and was located at cabin next to our site. and the power pedestal was angled so the rain fell on my surge protector. I did not report any problems and we stayed inside our rv because of rain.

Nice Park with friendly staff.

This was a great KOA, the sites were nice big rig friendly. Nice location with a great pool and hot tub. The hotel Nextdoor has excellent food
Sep 08, 2025
Great location, friendly staff, tight sites but pretty level. Trim your trees that overhang the main travel loop within the park. One by cabins and one just after trash cans drug along the top of rv.

The campground was very dry, had weeds not taken care of. Observed young ladies just standing around and not working. Had problem with bathrooms not being cleaned very well. Found hair & bandaid on the floor soap build up on shelves. Pool was very cloudy just a disappointment from the last time we stayed it has gone down hill.
Sep 08, 2025
The weather was beautiful, the trees were lovely, the families were fun to watch. Overall everything was wonderful. I would have loved to have been closer to the office but it was a great site for camping
Sep 07, 2025
Spaces for RV’s need attention, pavement is damaged most places, it makes so hard leveling trailers. Prices aren’t cheap and needs maintenance. Sorry but I don’t think about returning. Very disappointed about this one location.
Sep 06, 2025
Nice KOA right off of Highway 101. Premium only comes with a table and chairs. Not worth the extra money.

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.
