Campground Reviews

Aug 17, 2024
Our stay was just OK. Considering that this is a KOA Resort we were disappointed. We’ve stayed at many KOA Holidays and Journeys. Some are better than others for sure but this is our first time at a Resort. We stayed in a “large deluxe cabin “. It didn’t live up to its billing. Was quite run down and badly needs updating. As stated overall it was ok but certainly not “resort” standards

We stayed in a cabin. Very quiet, clean and comfortable. Our little girl loved the porch swing. We had a memorable stay. Campground staff was courteous and friendly.

Even though I stayed one night; I loved hearing the sounds of river water right outside my cabin. I came to buy some diamonds on my way to Buffalo because of the Tucson Gem Show. It's a beautiful KOA.

Herkimer was a nice KOA. Wanted to send a thank you to Harold one of the maintenance professionals as he went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. Please pass on our thank you to him as he is an amazing person. Thank you

We have been coming here for over 20 years. Sites are in great shape. Bathrooms are as clean as they can be kept. Weather was crazy, but that is camping. Cost of 2 pizzas was $10 more than 2 years ago (we didn't buy pizzas last year.) That's a large price increase.

Im a planner, have to say my plans were ALL fouled-up due to MISINFORMATION. The miners table hours listed fit into my PLAN but the information on hours and days of operation were different when we got there(fouled-up dinner)! The Garden bar & grill wouldve been a savior but she closed early (had to eat breakfast for dinner)! One KOA agent gave my KOA discount another didnt. Drove5hours for that

Brought my kids and 2 dogs. The Campground has lots to offer: pool, yard games, walking, watching the water, tubing. The garden is beautiful. The store is well equipped. The place is magical. And the staff is beyond friendly.

Great place with the exception of the bathrooms. There were no wheelchair accessible stalls for men. That really made it difficult, and I had called prior to coming and was assured that the bathrooms were wheelchair accessible.

The best way to describe our stay is "it was not long enough". It is an excellent example of a KOA Resort. If you asked us what to improve, our response is not a thing. The facilities and activities are outstanding. The staff is friendly, professional and always there to assist their visitors. Highly recommend planning a stay here and going mining for Herkimer diamonds.

We were moved from the main campground to the mountain area, which we specifically tried to avoid when booking. The staff were less then helpful when explaining why. The medication was expired in the store. The campsites themselves were tight because of the garden area. Pretty but not effective

We've been going to the Herkimer KOA for almost 30 years. It is clean ,and well staffed. Harold, one of the staff, was especially friendly and helpful, with great attitude. My wife paid $13 for a bottle of ketchup and mustard at the camp store, so avoid the camp store and shop ahead. The deluxe cabins are very nice but feel removed from the campground, as they are attached to the mine attraction.

They have so much to offer it is hard to know where to begin. The addition of the ice cream and food / beer/ wine trailers is a great one. I do miss the basketball court because it is a great place for kids to meet people and you can entertain yourself for a while shooting hoops - cant play alone with volley ball.

What an amazing experience! The glamping cottage I stayed at in the mountain camping was beyond my expectations and it was so quiet and peaceful. Had everything you could need, and bed was so comfy. Driving around, I was amazed at just how well the whole place was maintained. Very beautiful, pride of ownership showed, which can be rare. I came for the diamonds but so glad I stayed a couple of days

My family had a great time during our short stay. My daughter and husband spent hours and hours at the “diamond” mines! They even stayed through a couple passing rainstorms. The pool was clean and even though it was too rainy and chilly to go into the river during our stay it looked like it would be fun to spend the day floating down!

Love this KOA. Herkimer is the best! Staff super helpful and friendly. The delux cabin is a little dirty when we arrive, but I always clean it a little and its ok. Other then that, its my favorite vacation of the year.

We visited for 2 nights. My nephew was very excited to dig for Diamonds. Unfortunately mother nature had other plans and rained for our whole stay. We did visit the mine and got some rocks. Hopefully we can return one day to experience the mine and other amenities the park had to offer.

The staff was very friendly upon our arrival. We had our first experience with camping in the rain, and unfortunately, due to more severe incoming weather we decided to pack up a day early. The bathrooms were clean, the camp store was well stocked, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. The site was beautiful along the creek, we just wish they didn't feel so crowded.

Enjoyed the time there. We were able to have a fun time with our family despite one rainy day. Really enjoyed the miners table restaurant. Wish the canteen food shack still had breakfast- that made it easier to get everyone to the mine in the morning and helped on the last day to get things ready to leave- could pack the night before and go there for the morning meal before leaving

The staff was great. Pricing was extremely high. We can stay at a resort campground on the water with many water activities in a resort town and it is less money than we paid here. I was not aware that there was an extra fee for children, and there was a resort fee. We will not be saying again.

It was everything the good reviews said it would be, the only thing I wish was better was the pool - I don't know if the filter was clogged or what but it was filthy so I didn't go in. I use public pools around me all summer and they never are that dirty...just an observation, but I was definitely looking forward to swimming. It was a minor inconvenience though and did not ruin an amazing stay!

We were just an overnight but squeezed in a swim in the pool and enjoyed using the community BBQ! Bathrooms were clean as was the park!

I think this is a great campground for families, lots of activities for kids. But for couples, especially senior age, the cost to stay here, plus the resort fee, just wasn't for us. Enjoyed the ice cream trailer though!

Excellence in abundance. Loved staying right by the wild waters of West Canada creek. Cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Thank you !!!!

A fun KOA in a beautiful location right next to the creek. Lots of activities and amenities with clean facilities. Spots are clean and have plenty of room, internet service is great and helps you plan your next adventure with no worries.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The campgrounds were beautiful, well maintained, and clean. I really appreciated the family-friendly amenities. One recommendation would be to allow for sharing/renting of river tubes as to not have to purchase them. And expanded hours of certain things during weekdays (not just on the weekends).

My first night I had no hot water. Moved to another unit it had hot water thankfully. But the trees surrounding my glancing pod are in need of serious arborist visit. I had to move my car up the hill some really big branches came down. We did have a storm but even looking after the storm they're dead and falling anyway. Not sure if this place is worth the price for the cabin. I'd say 100.00 yes.

It’s our 5th year, always a nice vacation. We only had one issue AGAIN and that was the angry night ranger, he was a bit out of control. Threatened to call the cops and kick us out while we sat by the fire just talking and kids making s’mores. We will probably not book for next year, due to him.

Everything was great. The only thing that did not make it perfect is we did not have enough disc to play your golf disc game disappointing. highly recommend you replace them and sign them out to each player so you get them back for next year we’ve already booked.for 2025

Herkimer KOA campground is an awesome place to stay for a vacation or just a weekend. Especially if you are going mining at Herkimer diamond mine or other nearby mine. KOA has a ton of activities and amenities on site. From tubing down the West Canada Creek to swimming to disc golf and food trucks. There's a little something for everyone here. The camp store has a ton of supplies to make your camping trip easy and fun. The campground is directly across the street from the Herkimer Diamond Mine, so there is no need to pack the car for a day of fun. Just cross the street! Safely, of course.. Once you're done at the Mine, come back and enjoy all the KOA has to offer.

The camp ground itself is small in comparison to some, but still quite nice. The entire outer ring of the campground has a lovely view of the creek, which is accessible for splashing and fun. Very friendly staff, they do deliver wood directly to your site which is nice. Although, we started in early June nothing was open in the central garden. No ice cream, drinks or food as advertised on the site map you are provided at check in. So I cannot attest to whether or not that is good. The dog park is nice, although a little small, I do like that areas are provided throughout the park for owners to dispose of their dogs waste to encourage clean up. We did venture across the road to the mining portion and rather enjoyed that as well. A little pricy, but we would return for the views.
