It was good, the grandkids loved the swimming pool and all of the activities, only thing we didn’t care fire was at our site and we had site 63 was the sewer tank, a couple times the kids asked what’s that smell!!! Other then that it was a very good and clean KOA.

Our first site was too small for our unit, the staff came to the rescue and we ended up in a beautiful spot! The staff were so friendly and you definitely have to float down the river with their tubing outfit!

We love Hayward KOA. I have been going here since I was very young. Just like everything else it's becoming a little more expensive to stay. I hope the cost doesn't rise again or our family won't be able to come like we have been.

We enjoyed our stay! The campground is very well maintained and clean!! The office hours are generous and appreciated. The campground is large. The sites are pretty narrow for larger rigs. It would have been great to be able to text or call to have firewood, ice, maybe even pizza delivered to our site.

Great location just outside Hayward, under a towering pine canopy. On-site take-out café, The Red Pine, has a reasonably-priced menu of sandwiches, pizzas, and breakfast foods. LOTS for the kids to do. Water slide and (pedal) go-carts are extra: paid $12 per kid for all-day passes to the slide, + $8 for the 3 to share a 1-seat go-cart for an hour, which was long enough for them. Had a great stay!

Everyone was friendly, helpful and kept all areas very clean. We loved renting a cabin. Beds were comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay!

Arrived on a Saturday was there for an hr and left due to no privacy. Over crowded Went to cancel and was told after arrival. No refunds on anything said I didn’t want 1st 2 nights back but 48 hr cancellation should give me nights 3 and 4 back and they said that’s not how there cancelllation policy works. Then asked for a manager and was told there were none onsite

We enjoyed our stay there. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had really was the the camp sights were so close together that our neighbor smoked us out with their campfire.

Clean and organized. Sites are too small, too close.
Jul 24, 2024
Cloudy and wet, nothing you can do about that.
Jul 23, 2024
Plenty of activities and things to do, however did feel like the sites are cramped and much smaller than what we are used to when camping at other KOAs.
Jul 23, 2024
The staff was excellent in every way from delivering our wood to our campsite to making sure we had everything that we needed at our vacation as well. I would love to come back and camp again soon.

Christmas in July, we had a wonderful time! Kid haven!

The staff are outstanding. Informative, friendly and always willing to help. The campground provides so many amenities and fun activities. Facilities are well taken care of and always clean.

It was our first-time camping at a KOA. So, it was a treat, the kids and grandkids loved it! Even our dogs enjoyed the dog park. We all took advantage of the amenities of the camp store, what an asset! My only suggestion would be a designated area for dogs by the pool and playground. I was at the campsite with the dogs and not able to watch the grandkids in these areas. But planning for next yr.

What a great place to stay for vacation! Will definitely be back. They kept the bathrooms clean, all amenities were well taken care of!

Volleyball pit needs more sand, new net, 2 pits. Pool needs more chairs, umbrellas, 2 pools. Long time return customers should not have to pay $20 to guarantee the same site for the next year! That’s a money grab. If you improved the campground with that money at least we would get something out of the deal but there’s no improvement only more cabins $$. Ice cream too expensive. Amy Monson

Volleyball court in very poor shape. Net not tight, not enough sand in the court, they really need another court. Ice Cream house menu too expensive. They charge $20 to reserve your spot for the next year. They Charge $20 to arrive before checkin time even if the spot is vacant.

It was all around great time!! The one hiccup was our cabin said sleeps 8 but there was no mattress for the pull out couch. There was one bunk bed, two twin mattresses in the loft, and a queen bed in the room. That was enough to sleep 6. Had the pull out couch had a mattress we could have slept 8. We made it work by doubling up kids in the bunk bed.

We come yearly and must say this stay we were very disappointed. The first night the volleyball courts were closed for a movie and the park. The 2nd night there was light rain so pool, arcade amd bikes were all closed. For the cost to stay and to have most of the Amentities closed was very disappointing. The staff besides a couple were very on edge and cranky towards the kids and adults.

Always a good time. We have been coming since my 20 year old son was 4. It's our go to camp ground. :)

We stayed here for my sister-in-law's wedding. The showers were kept pretty clean and so were the bathrooms. The only things I didn't like were that parents didn't supervise their children on the Jumping Pillow and also how close the sites are. But, all in all, I would go again!

The men's bathroom-shower room needs maintenance. The shower drains didn't drain properly causing a backup in the shower area, and the ceiling tile frames needed to be repainted or replaced.

It was fine for an overnighter. A little louder than I had expected to be, but it was fine for what we needed.

Very clean and friendly staff

Have been coming here yearly for 12 years. It's a beautiful location and family friendly. My suggestion would be to do a better job of cleaning and maintaining the outside of the cabins. Holes in screen doors, lots of spider nests in the log corners and baked on grime on the logs and light fixtures. I'm told the water slide seems to be a bit rickety.

They need to do some work on the roads it rained while we were there and the dirt roads had huge puddles for a couple days. Dome of the sites also in water including site 100.

We have been repeat visitors for several years to the Hayward Koa. We book our site and pay in full the year in advance. However when we check in this year, we were told we needed to pay an additional fee of 20.00 to lock in our site. This is ridiculous as we locked in the site when we booked it a year in advance. Won’t be returning or renewing membership.

This was my first time staying at a KOA campground. I was impressed with how well they coordinated so many activities! Labor Day weekend was Halloween. My kids had a blast trick-or-treating around the campground, swimming, jumping on the huge pillow, and, of course, roasting marshmallows! We stayed in a small cabin next to the bathrooms. We will be back next year and already reserved the same spot!

We've stayed here twice this summer and have had great experiences both times. The staff here creates a fun summer camp atmosphere and are always helpful. My whole family has a great time and we plan on coming back!
