Did not have a reservation and it was Labor Day. These people were so kind and helpful. We are eternally grateful. Park was cute with lots of amenities including a lot of stuff for kids and dogs.

We have been camping at the Benbow KOA for 30 years, long before it was a KOA. The place was always pristine. We have noticed in the past 10 years or so that the place is beginning to look a bit run down. Grass is dead or not watered, yet a water leak in one spot simply had an orange cone and was too muddy to want to camp in. Golf course is in terrible condition. Disappointing.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The resort could use some updating when it comes to the pool area and bathrooms/showers.

At 11:15 there was about 10 minutes of fireworks coming from the Camp Ground. Waking people like this could cause PTSD for some folks and it scares animals for the rest of the night. The same people were up all night talking loud. This needs to be monitored better.

All was fine except there was a wedding Saturday and got pretty rowdy 9pm till 12am

The park is very nice however we were there during a very rowdy wedding that shot off illegal fireworks and what sounded like gun shots on Saturday night after 11pm. We reported it to the police and fire department.

We had a overall great experience. The whole staff was very kind and helpful. The restrooms/showers are very clean. The general store had a variety of things you may need. This is a great place to bring your dog and all the dog areas are clean. The overall campground is clean and well taken care of. We will definitely be back.

Checked in on Saturday afternoon. Not enough help on front desk. Wedding going on on property. When I drove to space 407, two autos were parked there. Tried to call Benbow KOA, but only got recording. Had to drive back, then wait to talk to desk person. She called a wedding contact, I drove back and cars still there. Finally got reassigned #406. Then, at 9:30 pm, fireworks rocket was fired, close.

KOA is a really nice campground, because we enjoy all amenities, including Wi-Fi, cable, TV, swimming, pool, and hot tub. However, the Wi-Fi was not working the days we went, and our fire pit was located way too close to the trailer (difficult to have a decent fire).

Just an overnight stay , easy and short walk to the H0tel for dinner and a cocktail!!!

My wife and I love the Benbow KOA. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Thanks again for another excellent experience!

Grounds not taken care of around camp sites, very dry. Weeds were healthy however. No internet at all. Golf course dry as a bone and the greens were terrible. We have been coming to this location for over 20 years. The decline is noticeable and sad. Staff were helpful.

We only spent one night but the facility was great!

We only stayed one night but this was the nicest KOA we have stayed in. The pads are super unleveled is the only complaint we have. People were great and the facilities were awesome!!!

it was nice to stay at your KOA. I would strongly recommend.

Beautiful property, kind staff for check in. Road noise was surprisingly loud. Needed to call after hours number but no one answered. Very noisy guests.

The staff were great the park needs a little work and I'm glad to see all the work being done on the golf course got a ways to go. Hope to stay and play again next year.

It was to expensive for just one night. If I hadn't been so tired I wouldn't have stayed and we went to get some ice and they didn't have any

Spaces are too cramped to support modern rigs with slides. The only reason we chose to stay there was because we were looking forward to visiting the Benbow Inn but it was closed for a wedding so no access. Not a good value either.

Very nice place. We will be back.

No fire rings in sites. Mostly like an RV parking lot.

The nicest and most helpful and pleasant staff I have ever encountered! RV sites are small and pretty close together ( compared with national parks). Facilities were great with lots of room for "family play" [pool, water park, hot tub]. I cannot express again how amazingly helpful and pleasant the staff was. We had fire at our planned site and KOA folks welcomed and helped us!!!!

This was our first stay at a KOA campground and we totally enjoyed it, Great staff and everything worked great. We have a large rig (44 ft) and it fit the space just fine.

Lack of shade trees site plain Jane , great staff pool clean.

I camp at the Benbow KOA 6-7 times per summer. The staff is always great, friendly and helpful. I’ll continue to come back time after time. Thanks staff.

Stay was great. We gofed, but tge course was not good. Need to improve tge golf course like 9t used to be. Also the camp site grounds the grass was all dead. Overall the campground needs maintenance on the landscaping it would also be good to not put couple campers or seniors who want quiet mixed in with families if possible.

Very relaxing

Was placed close to a large group of rowdy, noisy drunks playing loud music and twerking to the tunes. There had to be at least 10 ppl in the one RV. Things quieted down in the evening, but only because the group left to an event. At 3 AM, they are back at it. Upon checkout, I asked if they had security and got some vague answer. At $106 per nite - no way! Neighbors also complained.

The flies were horrible need to spray or put up fly traps.

Campground was nice and big right near the Eel river. Staff was nice and friendly. Close to the freeway with some noise. But convenient to get to. If your expecting a camp fire, bring your own pit or reserve their premier site with a burn pit. Pool and hot tube were clean and refreshing. Store was stocked with basic necessities and a little more.

The receptionist went above and beyond to answer our questions, even looking up wild fire locations for us. We enjoyed the amenities, too.

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.
