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.

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.
Jul 05, 2024
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.
Jul 01, 2024
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.

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..

Sites and roads tight for big rigs. Office staff was excellent.

Thank you for your review. We value your opinions and feedback on your experience. Our park is an older eclectic one. However, our 55 foot pull-throughs can and do accommodate 40+ foot motorhomes every day. Help is always available if a guest finds it challenging to comfortably get into position.

Wonderful and safe.

Clean bathrooms, close to Avenue of the Giants redwoods. Nice pool & hot tub. Friendly workers. The 9 hole golf course needs a makeover, but we had fun searching for the tee boxes ... lol.

Staff friendly, nice pool, hot tub, thanks

Friendly staff, easy check in. Restrooms were clean and tidy. And the Benbow Inn restaurant is just a short drive away.

We stayed here twice on our way to and from Oregon. Even though the visit was short, we had a great time. We sat in the creek in our chairs, played a round of golf and sipped drinks at the Benbow hotel while listening to live music. What a wonderful stay.

Clean & perfect place to walk to the Benbow Inn for dinner

Very friendly check in. Clean campground. Sites a little tight.
Jun 23, 2024
Some facilities need upgrading. Nice place though
Jun 23, 2024
Sites are very close together. Very loud, rowdy crowd until after midnight. That being said the staff was nice, the complex and amenities are good. Close to the Benbow Inn and golf on site is great!

Very clean kids loved the pool. The only draw back was the noise. To noisy. The highway was right there and it was never ending hard to sleep. And the drunks next door campers. But live and learn. Other than that it was very nice

We appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to hear that road noise and unruly campers upset your KOA experience. Unfortunately, the luxury and convenience of our location does mean we have some traffic noise during peak travel hours. Quiet time is 10pm and we try to ensure guests adhere to park rules
Jun 23, 2024
Thank you to all the staff, it was an absolutely wonderful stay. We had a lot of fun and Benbow keeps a nice and clean campground. Thank you for the special accommodations for our dog. We really appreciate it. We will definitely be back.

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.
