Campground Reviews

Back of pod felt like it settled/unlevel a smidge. Keurig cord didnt reach outlet but no biggie, we moved it to another one. Overall, a great time and loved the mountaintop privacy for two!

Decent for an overnight stay however the new Mountainside sites are a dust bowl with a terrible rutted gravel/dirt road up the hill and sites that are far from level. The original sites along creek looked far more desirable.

You stuck us up on the hill and there was white truck that did not obey the speed limit which made a huge dust cloud each time he drove by which was in the morning and evening each day. There were three men on a ride on lawn mower at 7 am. Not the first thing you want to hear when you are on vacation. We asked for a water view site, but was told that we would love it up on the hill. WEDID NOT!!!!

The way that cabins are listed online is entirely deceiving and we didn’t get the type of cabin we deserved. While the manager was sympathetic there was no other cabin available. We spent a lot of money for something not adequate for our family and I’m really disheartened by it. We have very little desire to ever return here. The food truck was phenomenal however. Kudos to them.

Needs another bathroom at the end of dead end. Up towards the house.

The Deluxe cabin had everything listed in it's description, cabin and linens were clean, new appliances. Had a handicap cabin w/ bunk beds and futon which is odd setup. Campground is clean and updated. Have visited the Herkimer Mine over 10+ years. Cons: On site food or beverages was lack luster at best and requires review, especially when traveling with families. Overall enjoyable visit.

Great visit! Amenities and staff were great. Beds in rustic cabin could be more comfortable. Loved the quaintness of the cabin and whole atmosphere of the campground.

The beginning of our day was amazing. Absolutely amazing. The man at check in was so helful and kind. Cabin is cozy and adorable with a great location, but built for tall people, we're short. The end of our stay not amazing, frustrating and rude. Weeding and mowing directly next to the cabin was the most obnoxious way to wake up. Very dissatisfied and given no warning. Bad way to end the trip.

Enjoyed our stay very much. We loved minng for "herks". Camping pod was very nice, cozy and intimate. The ladies at the front desk greeted us with smiles and were very kind and helpful. The guy in charge of food at the campground was a great guy. We enjoyed chatting with him and he does make some very delicious food! Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to visiting again.

Everything was fantastic. Staff very helpful. The only downfall was that the clothes dryers did mot work well and the washing machines were an issue too. Great site. Over all and 5 star rated campground.

It was my first time camping in a cabin, rather than a tent, and it was fantastic! The only minor annoyance was house flies in the cabin, but everything was clean and the cabin was nice and cool.

There were great activities for the children and adults alike. The camp was very full. The weather was great. The ONLY complaint I have is that the bathrooms were always in terrible shape. Overflowing trash in a way too small can, dirty sinks, no papertowels, shower walls slimy. Why do they leave the outside doors open? There were always so many bugs in there.

The campground itself is meticulously kept. The amenities are ok. The garden area is great for listening to live music (if they don't cancel), getting ice cream (if they have any) and playing cornhole (if the one set of haphazard boards are available.) Tubing on the creek is a fantastic option but please watch for signs to stay right and exit. If you go too far, the water can be very choppy.

This is the nicest campground we have stayed in by far. We have been here a few times and have loved every minute of our visits. We are already looking forward to returning. There are many activities for those who want to do lots, and areas that are very peaceful, if that is your fancy. Everything is fresh and clean. I highly recommend.

Everything was good the room we stayed in could’ve been a little bit cleaner. There was a pair of nasty crocs under the bed, and the door in the floor were exactly clean. Other than that. It was a very nice time and our air conditioner filter was chuck full. I had to clean it off, but not a big deal. I would definitely come back

We had an excellent time, unfortunately we arrived late and were up very early to mine, but we had SO much fun. The facilities were clean, staff was awesome and we will definitely be back! Camping was fantastic and the space was clean, maybe some bigger space number signs, it can be hard to see them at night! Other than that, perfect

This campground charges a resort fee which is pretty high for the bathrooms closest to our camp not have hot water. Trash doesn’t get emptied often. Staff is friendly but they can only work with what they are given. The property that the mine sits on, same owner, is in much better condition and well taken care of. If you have small children, they would enjoy the river, the pool is not heated.

We had a great time. Very family oriented. Fun activities for our grandkids, good food lots to do. Our solar cabin was very nice. Loved our porch, Surprised by the small refrigerator and no microwave but staff told us where we could use a microwave so that worked out. Just not as convenient however we discovered the food in the garden area and all was well. The upgrades you have made are beautiful

I received your message and am really disappointed in koa. Our family has held a reunion in Herkimer for over 15 years, bringing 70-80 cousins together making countless memories. It now includes four generations.I found it necessary to cancel some reservations due to family reasons. I was told I would be charged $25 each. Customer service is the key to successful business operations, this is an extremely poor example of that skill. The amount of $25 for each reservation cancellation adds onto an already large amount of money I spend there .Koa would not miss this amount, in my financial life, it matters. It also says a lot about koa and their lack of appreciation for loyal customers

The entire experience was amazing. The cabin was clean. They provided everything needed from dishes and pans to towels and shampoo. Everyone was extremely helpful and pleasant. The mine was a great found some great crystals. Will definitely be back!
