Campground Reviews

This is a lovely KOA ~ even has a REAL Golf course on site!! One disappointment was the lack of trash collection. There was only one dumpster, which was left overflowing....maybe you need to add another dumpster?! Additionally, the staff at check in neglected to give us the 'bathroom' code. When we needed to use the bathroom, the office was closed ~ sooooo!!! No help there!!

Friendly staff and nice facility but very disappointed in premium I paid for “premium space.” It was way off on level and in order to get positioned so I could get level - I had to move over so much on the utility side my pop up was against the breather pipe and electric riser. These spaces should not be rated as premium. I think you’re making a mistake doing that.

Our campsite was clean and mowed. All our RV hookups worked correctly! We had plenty of room and liked the new table and chairs on our site. We saw many employees driving around in their work and mowing vehicles to keep things mowed and clean! The swimming pool was clean and neat, great temperature to keep us cool and comfy! Thank you!

Maintenance have gone down since my previous stay. All the grass is dead in the camp ground. The golf course is a mess. The office staff are friendly and professional.

Just one night but the staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The store is stocked with great things, amenities were just what we needed after a 9 day trip!

Just a one night passing through.

Great location off the 101. Staff were great and my son enjoyed the golf course. The course could use some help.

Pros, good WiFi for streaming tv, nice pool, great staff, decent size lots with some shade. Cons, the price per night, some lots have very little shade, no fire pits,

The staff was amazing.

This KOA is a great RV stop over. They have many things to do, pool, splash pad etc. The front desk people are very kind, friendly and helpful. Downside: We are not used to camping so close to people. The road noise from the freeway was very noticeable.

Very helpful staff, pool was nice, grounds were clean, and RV spaces had adequate room. Bathrooms and showers were clean, although a little warm when it’s 100+ outside. They also have some in the main building that are air conditioned. Would definitely stay here again.

Electric problems on site 61 50 amp connection. Cause my breakers to continue to trip. Finally resolved to run 1 less A/C unit and used the 30amp outlet.

Great Staff and Kampground! Lots to do in the area with some really good restaurants as well! They had a great fireworks show right at the kampground! Bathrooms were clean but could use a little updating! Staff is great but would be helpful if they had more info on the area especially Benbow Inn and Julia Morgan house! Julia Morgan was the designer of Hearst Castle! Really enjoyed our stay!

Dead lawns, low hanging branches, Premium site had an electrical problem- the breakers were loose. The whole power box was worn out. This property is not as well maintained as it once was. The staff however is friendly and helped us right away with the power issue and they were very friendly and helpful when we had to spend an extra night.

Nice campsite, Just a one night stay so didn't use any of the amenities. But the pool looked inviting...

Jenn is an absolute gem. For not having reservations for July 5-8, she was miraculously able to get us into a wonderful site during a major heatwave in Benbow (northern Calfornia). If I were on "Undercover Boss" she'd be one to receive a promotion and a vacation to some exotic isle with her family.

We had a wonderful time at Benbow KOA. We would gladly book with the again.

The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The weather was hot so the air conditioning was a necessity. Thank you for the great fireworks show.

We really enjoy staying at the Benbow KOA. Whether it be RV or cabin. The only issue was the plumbing. Shower water lines was backwards. Cold side ran hot and hot side ran cold. The coffee pot was missing the lid. We had coffee all over due to the filter reservoir over filling.

Had 2 power outages on separate days during record heat. Camp site was clean and nice. Minimal room on roads to back in though. Having one way roads really makes things difficult. Golf carts should be rentable to either golfers OR to campers. So much money could be made by renting golf carts to all guests, not just golfers. Prices in the shop were EXCELLENT!! Pool towels were rough!

Our stay was fantastic minus the heat.

Be careful on the road leading into the camp grounds. Stay on 101 and you’ll be good. The golf grass was well kept up and the staff was friendly. The laundry room was leaking water everywhere and half the units were out of order. But other than that nice camp ground.

A nice oasis amongst the redwoods. Very clean and easy sites to pull into. Clean restrooms and friendly staff.

Staff was very friendly from maintenance to store/reception. Grounds were well kept.

Sites were on the smallish side, but fit our rv and toad barely. Baths were very clean. Great location for doing the Avenue of the Giants and other parks.

Beautiful, clean and well lit for travelers coming in after dark!

It’s a great place! The freeway noise is loud. Pool and creek are great!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We value our guests input. We are conveniently located off Hwy 101 for weary drivers, which unfortunately has it's downfall. We are happy to hear you consider us a great place! We think so too!! Please come back again soon. Happy summer to you.

Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Look forward to next stay.

We look forward to your return as well! Thank you for the lovely review. Have a safe and wonderful summer.

Lots of road noise here due to the location - next to 101 and surrounded by hills. But it’s a good KOA, with very nice staff, and a great location for the Avenue of the Giants and visiting Eureka. Enjoyed our stay here.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you so much for the shout out. Due to our convenient location for weary drivers right off 101 we do unfortunately get traffic noise mostly during peak hours of travel. We are so grateful you enjoyed your stay otherwise and hope you will come see us again for your future camping getaways!

We have stayed at the Benbow KOA 3 times in the past and I have to say the ambiance and security at this KOA has severely deteriorated. We stayed there this time for just over a week and when the park is nearing the full capacity. The security is bad, drinkers with foul language, kids running through other RV sites and on bikes. Dogs running off leash and drivers exceeding safe speeds.

Friendly staff! Everyone, from the front desk/store staff to the golf course maintenance crew, greeted us with a smile and "glad you're staying with us" vibe. The golf course is a work in progress, but a kick to play after not touching a club for 15 years. Everything at the facility is pretty worn, but it's cleaned regularly and looks well maintained.

Thank you for the wonderful shout out to our staff. We take great pride in our KOA and appreciate that our guests choose us knowing there are so many options available. We value feedback so we can improve our guests' overall experience and work hard to address issues as they arise. We appreciate you

Space was just right for travel trailer and pickup, but any longer on each and it would not work. Tight RV parking spots for the concierge black water gray water pumping. Called and found out they work from east to west or something like that and our particular spot would be towards the end around 10 a.m. too late for us to take advantage of. Hot tub jets only one JET works, rest have no flow..

My family and I camp here several times a year and have never had a bad experience 10/10 would recommend, there is on site showers and laundry with a grocery store a few miles away.

We just needed to stop and rest for the night. We parked and stayed inside RV and did not use any amenities. They should have spots with just electric at a cheaper rate for 12 hours tops!

Friendly staff upon check in. Nice area just down the freeway from Avenue of Giants. Little access path to river that runs behind the grounds. Full hook ups. Basketball court was nice(balls were all deflated though) Lil playground for younger kids. The showers and bathrooms were super nice, water pressure was great and it got hot.
