We love KOA Hayward and have spent a lot of time here. A few things needed more attention, the pool was full of sand on the shallow end, we were told the robot cleaner has been skipping the shallow end, the pool itself could use a good cleaning around the top too. I noticed a lot of cost cutting things that are trying but the prices to camp are some of the highest we've found with the same ameniti

Besides one heavy rain, grandkids loved it. Plenty of activities and things they loved doing.

Dog barking constantly. Drone following us as we walked in camp. Spots to park camper very close and tight. Couldn't put awning out. Very little grass.

This was our first time at this KOA. It had a lot to offer with the waterslide, mini golf, pool and tubing on river. We did it all! However, we felt there could be some updating and maintenance to areas. Repair and painting etc. We STRONGLY recommend better signage for tubing landing at the end of the float trip!

Really liked how they stager the RVs so that they are facing opposite of each one so you don’t have the fire pits or picnic tables/people directly outside of your windows. The laundry facilities need an extreme makeover. Not very clean. Washing machines look worn out and several not working. The dryers were the worst! They had to be over 20 years old. Again several not even working!

My family has been coming to this KOA for the last 4 years. We enjoy all of the amenities they offer and the staff is amazing and the campgrounds are well maintained. We are already planning next years vacation here.

Stayed in a deluxe cabin. The futon cracked very loudly when sat or slept on when you moved! The bunk bed mattresses are so thin I could feel the wood frame below it! Very uncomfortable!

I like how quiet the evenings are. This is our 4th year going to this KOA. We love all the activities and pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only recommendation I would make is the picnic tables need to be refinished. When it rained, it finally dried out on the 3rd day.

Campground is kept clean. Bathrooms are cleaned several times a day. Clean showers with hot water! Kids were having a great time at pool and bouncy pad. Staff was helpful and courteous. I’ll stay there again.

Normally I would give a 5. We come every year. This year the toilets were broken and the port a potties didn’t get emptied resulting in a horrible smell. There were not as many activities for the themed weekend like previous years. Handful of games or machines in the arcade were broken. Our camping cabin was good as expected and the staff were great. Hope by next year a little TLC happen

We loved our stay again this summer! The patio sites are wonderful! …the pool was freezing though. On the wishlist would be a ph # to order delivery from the Red Pine.

Very nice, but so cramped and crowded. Great amenities, but I would give that up for a little more space at the campsites. We are literally on top of each other.

Our site was so small, we couldn't put our awning out. If we chose to sit out, we would eat dirt as cars passed because our firepit and space was inches from road. Bathrooms need to be imploded and the portable toilets is an unacceptable to having the bathrooms fixed. The pool was not heated and dirty as well. As a vip member, I recommend this place lose the koa brand.

After paying a high enough price for a cabin, beds, A/C, electricity, I felt like the KOA nickel and dimed us. Mini golf is $3 a person per round and the water slide was $2 for 1 time. The Mount Rushmore KOA doesn't charge for mini golf while having more to offer. Also, the toilets were out if order. They did bring in outdoor toilets but they were disgusting.

Had a great time plenty of activities for the kids,we did the tubing down the river and that was great The bathroom and showers are old and could use a little update one of the bathrooms wasn't working while we were there they did have port johns but not very nice in the hot weather, the firewood was wet and hard to burn we had the same thing last year. Otherwise we had a great time we'll be ba

I have been staying at the KOA with my family for many years. This year we noticed maintenance at the KOA is lacking. Bathrooms that are not functional, fencing that needs to be put back into place (leaning). Terrible smell coming from the portable toilet. Buildings need painting and upkeep. Some of the arcade games were not working. Bathroom and showers need deep cleaning. A bit disappointing.

Very nice place. Lots of things to do.

Too dusty

a great campground for kids. Our campsite (10) was not the best - we were right the activity. Our campsite (10) was right by the pool, the dump station, and the porta johns for the pool. It was loud and smelly. Those spots along that row should be rented last (there were plenty of other empty campsites with sewer hook ups). The empty site next to us was also used as a cut-thru by everyone.

We’ve never had a bad experience there but the facilities need an upgrade. We tried to book site 401, they said we could not get it , no one was in that site the whole time we were there ! Kind of disappointed.

My family and I have been camping at the Hayward KOA for years. This was the first year that I have ever been disappointed. The price of wood is unaffordable. The toilets weren't in working order. There were many broken things, playground equipment, corn hole boards. Our neighbors were very loud and disrespectful after quit time. I hope there are improvements made!

Great as always!

It's huge place but when we were there but when we were here this last week it was about 1/2 full which made it even better. Grandson loved the playgrounds, pool & bounce pad. It was quiet at night. Some showers took a little longer to warm up but worked good. We were in a cabin and the ac worked great. So all in all a good place to stay.

We only stayed overnight but was a nice fairly quiet place considering it’s truly a kids paradise. Everything you want or need in one place!

Staff was pleasant, campground was clean. Spots were too small and if you don’t have kids, it’s way too loud, especially if your campsite is across from the volleyball/horseshoe pit.

We love staying here. On our last stay, we arrived on Sunday and left Tuesday morning. My husband said the men's bathroom was messy/dirty the whole time. (as we were leaving Tues. morning, a cleaning team was just beginning) Also, the garbage bins where you use your hand to push the trash in were very dirty - I didn't want to touch it to throw away the trash. Overall - a GREAT place!!

Always a fun enjoyable family weekend stay!

Very disappointed we were not informed before our stay that half the bathrooms were closed. With small children , porta potties are inconvenient, and messy. The other bathroom is in need of updating and is a walk from the tenting area.

Very friendly staff. Great place to stay. Pool and playground and pillow pad was a blast

From check-in to check-out I was over the top thrilled with my stay. Not a detail was missed at this campground! The staff were warm, inviting, and over the top helpful. All the staff gave the appearance of loving their jobs. The grounds and amenities were cleaned several times throughout the day. I had my 4year old granddaughter with on our maiden voyage and she loved it! Thank you everyone!

Our family gathered last weekend and had so much fun. We stayed in KL26 and K199. The family enjoyed the pool, golf and tubing down the river. We really enjoyed our time and the staff were so nice and helpful. Will be back next year.

Charged an extra 20$ for 4 kids when I already said I had two. So why 20$ should have been 10$ This place is TOO packed, it was a miserable time. There was so many campers for a very small area we stayed Friday night and left Saturday at noon.

Check in was fabulous, cabin already had the a/c on, it was super hot outside, unpacked and then sat on the porch swing... it had an enormous creek, I love a porch swing. Asked the office to send some WD40, and noone came either of my 2 day stay so i wentvto walmart and bought my own and fixd it myself. Pool area was amazing, there were lots of other activities for all ages. Bathrooms were midern and clean! Would definitely return some day.

We enjoyed our time at the KOA. The campground was very quiet, although we were on the back row and not near a lot of the activities. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The showers were hot and had good water pressure. We did rent tubes, they took us to the beginning and picked us up at the end. Being a holiday weekend it was an overall nice stay.

This is one of our favorite KOA's. They are in the works to do some upgrades with plans to put in a splash pad. You can go tubing down the river (highly recommend). There is a pool, which does tend to get a little over packed. On site pizza and ice cream which is yummy. Always clean & family friendly. Lots to do on the area.
