Friendly service but I wish the splash pad was on more frequently due to the heat…for the kids. The pool had a lot of bugs and there wasn’t any available chairs to sit in or shade for our family since it was a crowded weekend. Also with there were more chairs around the community fire pit. Really enjoyed our RV site 412 but the eye sore were the large maybe electrical boxes covered in webs

The cabin is in desperate need of a significant update. The front stairs and railing felt very unsafe like they were on the verge of collapsing. Inside, the entire cabin felt incredibly outdated; it could definitely benefit from a TV. However, the biggest issue was the sleeping arrangement: the sofa bed was equipped with a mattress so thin and flimsy it offered no support, causing backache.

No cable TV as advertised, No internet as advertised, Golf course grass totally dead, Lounge area and couch disgusting, TV in lounge area did not even get the All Star Game, Grass in sites dead. The one shineing star were the people who worked there, they were super nice!!!

Stayed here previously in RV site and recently a tent site. The 2 tent sites available are extremely close, their picnic tables less than a few feet apart with a small lattice frame in between. Would have preferred some privacy. The bathrooms were filthy, 3 of the sinks were not working, handicap hand-held shower mechanism leaked. Outside trash was almost overflowing. Staff was nice.

I was worried I’d be dispersed moto camping but they got me in there. The bathrooms were super clean. The staff was amazing and friendly. I couldn’t be happier. I had never stayed at a KOA before but it’s worth it.

Loud with bad neighbors that was a family reunion. Call office in regards to the group and nothing was done. We paid for 2 nights and would never go back or recommend to anybody else

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cabin . Place was clean but outdated cabin . Beds were uncomfortable and no ac for the whole house just only the living room area . The master bedroom mattress was uncomfortable and bedroom sliding door screen was ripped so we couldn’t leave door open without mosquito flying in .for the money I wish it was updated and more comfortable .

We were scheduled to stay 2 nights here and left first thing the next day after checking in. When we arrived, our spot had towels and cans on the site we had to clean up. The bathrooms were very dirty, no toilet paper. The garbage was overflowing in all the garbage areas. The guest were piling garbage on the ground. We had a garbage smell at our site. The whole site just look like gloom!

Despite being KOA members, reserving months in advance and arriving early, we were given the one pull through site that did not have any shade in 95+ weather. Very disappointing, If you stay there in hot weather, do not accept space 61.

We love staying at Benbow KOA! Great pool and amenities. Just put a hold on a stay for next summer.
Jul 14, 2025
We have been coming to the Benbow KOA multiple times a year for YEARS! This time we were so disappointed. The new owners have let the park go, the grounds are in need of major TLC. The camp store is bare. Overall very disappointing to see our beloved campground neglected. Will we be back… yes. Will we recommend it to friends and visit 3-4x a year… no. New owners…. Show your campground some l

Nice, it was very hot during our stay, they closed the pool & club house at 8:00, would have been nice if they could have kept it open a little later during summer hours. On their website said the golf course was closed but it wasn’t, would have been nice to no that sooner. All the employees were very friendly.

Nice location on the river and good sized sites. Only negatives were the very dry vegetation and the really elevated sewer connection. Made it difficult to connect because the tanks don't want to drain uphill. Took some human intervention to make it work.
Jul 14, 2025
Nice park. Friendly staff. Store is well stocked. Sites and streets a bit pinchy. Grass could use some water.
Jul 14, 2025
Second time I've stayed with you. Only disappointment was train not running and no kids activities. My first stay was with my grandkids - this stay was with my great grandkids and wished the kids activities would have happened.

What was once a BEAUTIFUL, Green, well kept, Gorgeous camp site is now a Disgusting, Brown, Burnt grass, unkempt, deteriorating site. The people who work there were nice. BUT!! I paid $125.00 thinking that it was the place I loved staying at. Granted it has been 8 or 10 years, But how shocking it was to arrive and find this craphole!! KOA! Shame on You for putting your name on this Turd!

We just used the koa as a 2 night layover to attend a family event not at the campground. We stayed in one of the cabins. Only complaint I had was the bed. Felt like you were sleeping on a cheep box spring.

Very disappointed. The golf course was 1 reason we wanted to stay here. The course was in the worst condition we have every see. It was like playing on concrete. The staff was good but the lack of keeping up the course along with the grounds of the park show the owners don't care

Got in late. Sites are very tight. Not a lot of room. Didn’t use any of the facilities. Golf course was all brown. Needed water.

Nice spot, kids love riding their bike around. Plenty to do at the campground.

We have 2 young kids and the splash pad was only available on weekends which I didn’t know before we booked. So between the cow train and splash pad unavailable it felt like a let down. Also our room had the tv ripped out of the wall and not replaced, one fork for the whole room, bed was very firm and uncomfortable. Pros the location, the pool looked nice, the playground was cute.

Pool only had 2 tables with umbrellas, a few lounge chairs, table chairs.Had to bring your own chair,staff would leave the pool cleaner in all day,splash pad only on if someone asked for it.4th of July people were on the course for fireworks, staff would not offer refund for not being able to play all 9.Golf course is in terrible condition which is ok, but the fee to play doesn't align with condit

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Unfortunately, many of our umbrellas have been broken due to guests mishandling them and wind knocking them over. The splash park is limited by our local water company, and you did receive a refund despite not reporting your problem to staff until you came late to return our cart. Green fees are $10

Everything was great but they didn’t have cable at our RV site. Very disappointed

The staff was very helpful, friendly and informative. Overall site was comfortable and clean. It’s a great location and we would definitely return.

The only complaint we might make is the laundry area there is no air conditioning in the room also the 2 times my wife done laundry there were 3 dryers with dry bedding left in for at least the 2 hours she spent there

We have been coming to this KOA for years, before it was KOA, and it has gotten worse every time we go. We've given it time to establish and are always disappointed. Spend over $4000 on a family vacation between cabins and RV sites and golf. Dead grass everywhere. Dead plants. Golf course was awful. Pool and splash playground is limited. So disappointed !!! Shame on KOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fireworks were spectacular!!! Restrooms/showers very clean as usual . Staff friendly
Jul 07, 2025
The prices are extremely high! $110 for a back in! But we were there to be with each other, so memories are pricey and priceless, With no children, the amenities were not used by me.

Not well maintained, our tent site were poorly maintained. We had to make a lot of adjustments to our tent placement to find a decent spot. Tent site had dog feces, dental floss all over. The bathroom is always stinky even after cleaning, mats in showers have mold. Ppl driving golf kart too fast. Whole site is too dense, neighbors too close, feels like a refugee camp rather relaxing place.

The Benbow KOA is a very clean campground. My family had a great time enjoying the pool and the river. The fireworks on the 4th of July were the best that I have seen in a long time. I love that it's not crowded. I would recommend this campground to all who are wanting to take a vacation.
Jul 07, 2025
We had a great time 4th of July swimming in the pool and watching the fireworks. Slime making was pretty awesome 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!
