The staff were friendly and amenities were outstanding. This was my first stay at a KOA and I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities. I was tent camping and had access to clean bathrooms and a cooking pavilion with running hot water and electric burners to cook in. Super convenient and well maintained.

It was really great, but the pool was HOT and overcrowded (I only assume) because the waterslide was shut down. The place is 90% sand and gravel, making it filthy for Littles. But that’s just the fact it was built in red pines. DESPITE THAT, it was really really clean so I’m impressed!

There is always a lot of fun to have for the family! Campsites are large and the service was quick.

Overall, it was a great stay. We stayed Mon-Sat so saw a lot of people come and go. BUT, I will say, the staff this year was less than desired. The bathrooms were only cleaned twice in our stay, even after we complained. There were no warm and friendly faces to greet us or help us. They seemed to be driving around aimlessly on their golf carts. Our presence seemed to be an annoyance. Sad this year

Ce camping a tout pour être parfait. Malheureusement il n est pas super bien entretenu. Fin août plus d accueil après 5h, le coin restauration fermé. Le camping est quasiment vide. Le coin cuisine près de notre emplacement fuit. Les eaux usées débordent sous les éviers créant une innondation nauséabonde. Nous avons contacté a personne de garde de nuit pour signaler le problème

The pool was broken, the water slide was not functional, there was no game room, it took 20+ minutes to check in, there was dogs parking and children screaming all day and night, and the ice cream shop wouldn’t even let us bit ice cream cuz it was the sundae social only. We stayed for only the weekend so were unable to experience anything

Great atmosphere. Pool was down for a day. Showers are pretty run down and burners in outdoor kitchen didnt work plus water leaked from one of the sinks.

Overall, it was okay. Definitely geared towards kids having a great time, and my kid certainly did. Staff was very friendly, which is great. Unfortunately, the water slide was gone, and the arcade was gone. Camp sites were extremely cramped. Several staff were zipping around on golf carts like their lives depended on it. This created several close calls with other carts and even worse, kids.

Could use some basic upkeep at mini golf and around the grounds.

Kids had a great time.

So much has changed. We’ve been bringing our grandkids for 13 years. Now there is no water slide, no arcade, no yard games, everything is dirtier. In the kitchen two outlets and one stovetop don’t work. The store is now a tourist trap instead of fun things for kids. It’s probably time for us to find a new place for our annual camping tradition. Very disappointed in the new owners.

First time here with our son! Very much enjoyed the stay and will be back!

We come here every summer and it’s because this KOA has the best amenities and family friendly events for our family! We feel safe with the KOA staff and love that we can request our certain beloved site! 10/10 recommend!

Third year visiting Hayward KOA, and the decline is disappointing. Dirty campsites, overflowing trash, unclean bathrooms, limited amenities, and higher prices made this our worst stay yet.The wagon ride was especially upsetting, with staff repeatedly spraying young children with water guns and using a frightening Bigfoot character.We'd love to return, but major improvements in management.

Great place to stay. We were there last n a Wednesday so it was quiet. The bathroom was clean, the campsite was really good. Felt a bit packed in but we had a great time! Thursday got busy and some one peed all over the toilet in the men’s bathroom. Needs a bit more attention and cleaning. We will definitely stay here again though.

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!

No water slide and arcade was not available anymore at there was no warning. Very high prices still even though stuff is broken.

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.

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!

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

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.

10 pm dance party is way to loud and that is too late for music while tent camping

It was well maintained and they have lots of fun items for whole families.

bathrooms were broken but otherwise great stay.
Aug 28, 2025
The bathrooms were down the whole stay we had to use ports potties without and compensation for that. Everything costs extra money. The bathrooms and showers were disgusting and always dirty. Empty soap dispensers in the bathrooms after the “cleaners” left. Website didn’t mention extra cost for slide. Playground was unimpressive compared to photos.

This was our 13th annual trip. The grandkids love it every year. Having porta potties instead of bathrooms was a bummer. We still miss all the Saturday games in the field, and it gets more expensive to pay for everything while we’re there. BUT the grands were happy.

Loved the location and the scenery-- but tent sites with no electric makes it hard for people that have medical equipment-- We would've had a better stay if the bathrooms were working properly and the people next to us respected the quiet times. Store was lacking in grocery supplies also in case people were needing anything.

Had a great time introducing my two young kids and my niece who was four to camping. The adults enjoyed it too!

Very family friendly! Staff were so accommodating and helpful.

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!

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

We were placed at a tent site that was basically under the waterside and adjacent to the freeway. When sitting at our fire, if the wind blew we would get misted with water from the slide. The pool was pretty much standing room only, and it wasn't even an extremely hot day. Growing up, it felt like a family-friendly place. Now, it feels like an over-crowded cash grab.

Cool place to stay. Bathrooms were far away from our tent and out of order so we had to use porta potty’s. Pool was small and full most of the weekend with no where to sit. Shower houses are outdated

People that worked there were great, way too crowded. Our cabin was really nice and clean.
Jul 21, 2025
everything was awesome except for quiet hours not being enforced. Other campers were extremely loud, drinking and partying until way past midnight.
Jul 21, 2025
The tent site was very nice with grass, flat and lovely annuals in planters. Bathrooms and swimming pool were clean. Loved the pool and mini golf was fun. Yapping dogs in RV's were annoying when owners were gone and left them alone for hours. Nearby RV had strings of bright lights on 24/7 that spread out to our tent site ruining the outdoor camping effect and looking more like the city at night.

A lot for kids to do. But when your bathrooms don’t work it makes camping with a toddler more difficult especially at night. Also consider ending loud music before 10. Pool doesn’t seem heated either.

Our stay was great!!! Actually, we travelled next to the KOA ”journey” in Wetmore/Munising, Michigan… and to say it best, it is a COMPLETE night and day difference. I have always enjoyed KOA, but was surprised at Wetmore. Hayward is PERFECT. We have 3 kids ages 11, 13 & 15 and each of them has something to do and didn’t complain once. Staff was friends, Tabby was SUPER helpful as was Glend

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.
