Campground Reviews

Jun 20, 2023
The things we liked-many activities for the family, friendly staff and well stocked cabins. The only concern was that the cleanliness of the cabin could've been better. Microwave was dirty (not cleaned before our visit) and some things needed dusting-like the shelf in the bathroom and the range hood which each had quite a bit of dust on them (have not been cleaned in a while). Attn to cleaning

We love everything about the Herkimer KOA - other than sites book so fast we have difficulty getting in. It's beautiful, clean, ....I'd move right in if I could!

We really had a great time! We were with a group and were a little disappointed to be so far away from everyone else, but it all worked out. I did have to call the emergency overnight numbers for an urgent concern and left a message and didn't hear back so I hope it was tended to. Cabin bed was uncomfortable We have already shared our itinerary with others. We really did enjoy ourselves

Everything was great. My only complaint is how far the bathrooms are from the tent spots and how there wasn’t a water spicket anywhere near the tent spots. We were at tent spot 100.

Everything was good except in lot 83 there was zero WiFi … nothing would connect the entire time there. No phones, no laptops and no TV so that was a complete bummer!

We were only here for one night and it rained most of the time. Our campsite was very nice and clean. Huge campground with lots to do. Their frisbee golf was a lot of fun. Great views of the river . Friendly staff

Had some good points and some bad points. Staff was friendly and helpful. Park appeared to be run down. Advertised cable was included, but there was no cable. Firewood was out of stock for most of the stay. They have a nice river to tubing, but staff stacks all of their shrubbery that they burn right next to where you enter the water. Overall it wasn’t the best or worst place we’ve stayed.

Amazing facility. There were so many activities to participate in throughout our stay. The diamond mine is so much fun. The food was great. The staff was fantastic. We staying in a deluxe cabin that had all of the things we needed (linens, dishes, towels, cooking utensils, soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc). We didn't really need to pack anything other than clothes and a hair dryer :)

Although it rained most of the stay, the staff kept up with any needs for the weekend and were helpful with all inquiries. Thanks to Josh for his assistance.

They could be a little more helpful by taking you to your site had to back down dead end road for the price to stay the sites are a little close.

The employees were super nice and very responsive. The campground is excellent. The diamond minds are great. I have nothing negative to say about the entire trip. It was a joy amd a pleasure and I appreciate every thing every one does to make it such.

We had a nice, relaxing, peaceful time enjoying the outdoors while still having modern amenities available as needed. My family has been coming to the Herkimer KoA since I could barely walk and it is always a pleasure and a treat to be able to make it back out and see it in such good condition.

Enjoyed the campground and mine and we will be back next year too. Only suggestions we could make is to have a HOST CAMPER well signed near the office for after hours help. And active cable TV would be a great RE-addition.

We had a great time! The river was fantastic for swimming, the kids rode their bikes everywhere, and of course we visited the diamond mines. Wonderful camp, clean bathrooms, helpful little details everywhere like a dish washing station, fire pits with grates for grilling over the fire, electricity and water.

Every single staff member we came in contact with was so nice and friendly ! The entire campground was so clean and nice!

I was on a tent site on the creek and I loved it. Great view with your meals, and the creek is nice to listen to. I didn't go to the mines this time, but I had a great time rock-hunting in the creek, and just enjoying the area. Bit of advice: bring your own firewood, or be prepared to buy it. You won't be able to scrounge it. I hadn't been here in a long time, and it's really been improved.

Loved the campground and sites. Lots of amenities. Employees were very helpful and courteous.

Super clean and tidy, great location along the river and a ton of amenities. Impressive camp store. Cool Ice cream trailer, and the kid/mom serving were awesome. Great place for Kayaking! We stayed in mid June and it seemed like miners Village area across the street was always closed. Nothing happened at the pavilion either so kind of disappointing. Site 108 sewer needs work (backed up/smelly).

I was there for a wedding. The venue was great few problems in the cabins, but overall a good experience.

Staff was so friendly! Looking forward to our next trip!

Cabin immaculate. Camp ground fantastic. Staff very helpful and friendly. However - no food close by, no breakfast. The miners table over expensive - $25 for a salad? The restaurant smelled like mildew and mold - we left and didn't have dinner. Also had our rocks with Herkimers in them stolen from our bucket while we were digging.

What a lovely stay. We found the facility in general and our tent site very clean. The kids loved staying right next to the river. Another family left us a tube, and my daughter (8) and I tubed down the short stretch of river recommended by the signs, which was fun. When the weather forecast turned to thunderstorms, the office staff helped us switch from a tent site to a cabin. Thank you Jimmy!!!!

Awesome Stay. The young folks in the office were great, very kind, helpful and respectful. We went across the street to the mine and there was a young lady in the shop, I bought a $30 jewelry grab bag and got a gorgeous bracelet, so happy! We found a large Herk diamond in a rock and the nice young man in the shop told us all about it, worth $300-$400! Super time! Already booked for next year!

Wonderful place!!!! Unbelievably clean and well run!!

Our second time here and expectations were again exceeded.
Jun 06, 2023
None of the activities were running, they only have things open during July and August. I don’t think they should have a up charge on weekends when there is nothing different going on. I don,t think they should be a resort maybe a Holiday KOA.

This place is amazing on all levels! Very clean, great food, great family fun! Smash burgers at the canteen, beautiful barn for venues, amazing dinners at the Minors' Table which will be open for brunch on Mother's Day... also a beer garden near the pool and creek as well as an ice cream shop. There is no need to leave once you arrive. Golf cart rentals and carts are available as well.

This a first time for all of us and was different. I had fun even though the rain had to remind us that we're powerless when nature brings the rain. Several diamonds were found including several decent sized ones. Prices in the shop were a bit steep for my budget but the little experience I've had with Crystals kinda shows what we all know...quality is not cheap. I do wish I had brought a few larger rocks back as I now have the means to cut into them. I did grab a few that should look nice after a session in the rock tumbler.

We camped here last weekend for their season opening. The staff was so very nice at both the Campgrounds and the Mines. Everyone we met was just absolutely just the most friendly and welcoming that we had an amazing time and immediately rebooked to come back when it's a tiny bit warmer. Despite having a rainy and cold weekend, the view of the creek was lovely and my kids had a ton of fun at the mines and my little guy loved the playground.
