We enjoyed our stay the staff was friendly. The cleaning in the bathroom, showers and pool could use a little work.

We've been coming for 20 years and l9ved it. The past 2 have been awful. The cabins were dirty. Setting up tubing was disorganized and took way to long. The staff that we had personal interactions with were great as always

We have been coming to Hayward KOA for over 30 years . Last year was bad. But this year was even worse. We love the staff that is there (Glend; Travis etc). But they need more help!,,,, the place could not keep up with the limited staff. Ice cream shop was barely open. How do you keep telling your kids. “ we will get some next time we are down there” and then it is closed we should get r

I found the campground to be clean and the staff very friendly. The store had the essentials one might need

This KOA was sub standard not worth $$. Camper spacing was WAY too crowded and close. Our fire ring was two feet from the car parked next to our site. Grounds were completely dirt with very little grass to be found. Water slide was a big reason we booked the site only to find out it was condemned and set to be torn down. Strong sewage smell was quite repulsive. Definitely not worth the price.

This was our 3rd stay and it was overall great. We were a little disappointed in the “water games” on Saturday, nothing was set up for them for almost an hour after the designated start time, and then it wasn’t a game, and the squirt gun fight in the afternoon was already over when we got there and then they didn’t start again and there was still 30min left. We enjoyed our time but bummed

We had an amazing stay for a special day! Upon check-in staff was very welcoming for my sons 8th birthday giving him tokens to use for ice cream(what birthday kid doesnt love that)mini golf & bike rental! I called ahead to let them know we would be celebrating & we arrived to our site fully decorated with balloons & streamers! Shoutout to Olivia for working so hard! Awesome Bigfoot ride tradition!

Yes pool felt good temperature wise. But it wasnt clean. I understand extra people since hot weekend, but there was a lot in the bottom and was cloudy. Also, dont advertise a slide and not have it! Take off all your pictures of it! Bathroom- Definitely needs to get maintained better. I understand the holding handle til all flushed and cant help idiots who dont read, but was not clean much.

Staff was friendly. All the bathrooms and showers need attention!

I feel the place isn’t being kept up to par. Playground fence falling apart. Women’s bathroom handicapped out of order when we got there, toilet next to it almost out of tp, tp all over floor. Friday morning garbage was full in pool area!! Mini golf has needed updating for years!! Just not a happy camper this year !!

No more slide, no tubing, no arcade, the snack bar wasn't open, the mini golf is falling apart and the bath houses are just gross! We left early and won't be back! We have stayed at many KOA's across the country. This one is the worst we've seen.

We come every year for the last 5 years. Disappointed about the water slide, arcade, tubing and Red Pine not being open during our normal Sunday-Wednesday stay while still paying full price as we do every year but the kids had fun with what was open. Will plan to stay again next year but hopeful the other amenities will be available for us!

Sites are pretty tight. Lots of shade but way too much sand. Friendly staff at check in.

The bathrooms and showers were very dirty. My niece rented a park model her husband had to clean the bathroom before they took a shower. No water slide game room food building or hay rides open. Such a shame this use to be a beautiful place. I do have to give the front desk staff a shout out because they were all very nice. They probably just have too much to do with an overworked staff.

There was a lot of changes. Arcade games and pool table are all gone. The older gentleman and older woman at the registration desk were kind. The middle aged guy was a jerk. He needs to go and take some classes on customer service.

Very disappointed with our stay this time. Restrooms were dirty, men’s bathroom toilet kept clogging and over flowing. It took days for the messes to be cleaned. Sites should be more groomed. The Red Pune wasn’t open on 2 of the days we were there. And lastly, please ask your staff to slow down when driving those golf carts around. There are children running around everywhere.

The park needs the pot holes fixed. Sites are very close together and could use updates for big rigs. Lots of sites are empty due to no utility. The kids do have fun with all the park has to offer.

The campground was hopping and busy with 4th of July celebrations. An excited and welcoming environment; we appreciated the hospitality from the owners and their staff/community.
Jul 06, 2026
Water slide not operational with no explanation. Bathroom near the slide was messy. Garbage wasn't emptied, there was bird excrement on the stall doors, sinks weren't wiped down for days, tall grass in the K9 park and other areas. It had an overall feeling of neglect which is something we have never experienced before. I hope the new team can restore this park to its previous level.

We have camped at the Hayward KOA over the 4th of July for the past 12 years. Unfortunately this time we did not schedule for next year. The campground has really gone downhill. This is so sad to see because the campground does have potential. I'm hoping the right people take over and do some improvements. We would love to come back, but not until it's cleaned up and more maintained.

Travis is a great guy easy to talk to and looking for ideas to make Hayward KOA great again. We have been camping there for many years and have noticed the steady decline in the property cleanliness and appearance. Travis is a very hard worker we watched him out countless hours working around the property fixing and cleaning things up. We were very pleased and will return!

This is our third year spending the 4th of July weekend at the Hayward KOA. We've already made reservations for next year. We love all the activities that are available. The tubing, biking trails, glow dance, and events in nearby Hayward make the weekend a wonderful, fun getaway! The new general manager was extremely helpful. We know that upcoming improvements will make the facilities even better!

The water slide was not working. The ice cream shop was closed. The tubing was not running. The bath rooms were dirty and NO toilet paper in the bath room behind the store. And the the workers were driving around fast creating alot of dust. And what little grass there is was not moved. The only good thing for my stay is my grand kids enjoy the bou ce pillow. And I left 4 days early.

Good campground. Sites close together. Bathroom not clean, toilets plugs.

We have been coming to this KOA since 2014. Great friend staff! The grounds are clean & facilities are up to date. Lots of things to do for kids. The slide is being updated with splash pad being put in which will be nice. The on site ice cream & pizza is a bonus. They do great with communicating via text, it’s always nice getting updates/reminders with a quick way to get information if needed.
Jul 06, 2026
Everything was great! We love going to the KOA! The only change we wish for was the glow dance! My kids love attending it but this year it was at the same time as the fireworks so we weren’t able to go! Would have loved if the glow dance was Friday instead of Saturday!

The sites are so close together that it was like a can of sardines. We didn't pull out 2 of our slides or the awning as I think they may have touched the campers next to us. Also, as we drove through to park and when we left, branches from the trees scraped the top of our camper. I think they could trim the trees so that doesn't happen.

Convenient. Dinner was brought to our campsite. Nice employees.

We have been visiting this campground for almost 15 years, we were a bit put off this year. The waterslide was closed with no notice. The arcade was closed and no access to a coin machine for laundry. The bathroom near the waterslide was not cleaned in the week we stayed there (same garbage on floor and sink). The drain was clogged and the floor flooded. Shower stall door needs replacing and hooks

We had a cabin and a camp site. Camp site was fine. Cabin was filthy when we arrived. Tooth paste all over sink and mirror. Coffee dried on counter by coffee pot. Dish washer did not work. Walls were filled with finger prints. Fridge was so large you could hardly get into hallway. Could also leave some household items since we pay so much to use the cabin. Should be more like airbnb.

This park has gone downhill since new owners and management took over. After 20 plus years of staying here we will not be returning. It’s sad that Travis cannot be trusted and has ruined what was once our favorite campground. We were lied to about tubing. Other amenities were either non existent or not up to past standards. Travis doesn’t care about guests or maintaining the standards of KOA.

We had a great time & will be back as always!!

We have been camping at Hayward for years and years and nothing has been updated. I know it’s not a five star hotel but more attention to the small details would be appreciated !

Waterside is down, red pine Cafe is closed monday and Tuesday, almost half the bathrooms are broken and not clean. Why have amenities if they wont open them to paying customers(the red pine) and invest some money into the place to make it look nice again. Been the same for almost 30 years.
Jul 02, 2026
Firewood was not brought to site, had to request. No coin change for laundry, had to go to town to get change. Showers were untidy.
Jul 02, 2026
Our stay was fine. Disappointing, of course, that the big slide is closing. Also disappointing that the Red Pine Grill and Ice Cream was not open on Sunday OR Monday. What did we actually do? Played on the playground, went swimming, bounced on the bouncy pillow, and did some mini-golf. Good enough for a 6 and 7 year old but I don’t know for how much longer those things will keep their interest.

We have stayed at this campground for the last five years. This year it was very rundown. I don’t think that it was at KOA standards. The pool was very dirty and the pool deck needed a real good sweep, and needed the weeds pulled. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned, the waterslide was not open and did not have water in the basin. The shelves in the store where empty and food place was Closed.

Nice little cabin with hot water & good AC! However, it looks like things are winding down there a little too much for us. No arcade. No waterslide. No tubing. 3 big activities that we always looked forward to. It was some great memories but the bounce pillow is the only real draw now.

Had such a positive experience here a week ago when we were on our way to our vacation, we intentionally routed our way home to stay here again. Excellent people in the store, very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fantastic KOA! Great activities for kids and the whole family. Sites are always clean and well maintained. Bathrooms are also well-kept. Friendly, helpful staff.

Sites are a little narrow, you feel like you are camping on top of your neighbors. The KOA it self is nice place. The facilities are fairly well kept but are showing their age. The staff were very nice and helpful and Michelle and her family were a bright spot. Hope the KOA knows what they lucked into those folks.
