Fire ring had prior occupant's multiple paper coffee cups and trash in it and a container of Nellie's organic eggs sitting on the picnic table. Everything else was fine for our overnight stay.

Everything was great but my wood wasn't delivered to my site as requested.

We really enjoyed our short stay at the Herkimer KOA Resort. Our site, #87, was perfect! Close enough to the West Canada River that we could enjoy the sound of the rushing water. Our site was level, which is important as it didn't take much time to set-up our RV and enjoy the campground. We plan to return soon!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and your site to be "perfect"- there is truly nothing like the sound of the river to help you unwind. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

We love the glamping pocket! The only advise I would give is to put some hooks inside. There are plenty of places that you can add hooks for hanging up a towel a jacket etc. The showers could also use some soap dishes. Even just the kind that attach with suction cups. There is no where to put your soap when taking a shower. Everything else was excellent! :)

We are so happy to hear you loved the glamping pocket and that you had an excellent stay! We will take your recommendation into account. Please come camp with us again very soon!

Campground was great. Friendly people and a nice vibe. We stayed at tent site #91 and I do want to mention that the fire ring was an old tire ring with no grill. I generally expect that the fireplaces at a camp site will have a grill. It did not impact me for this stay, but I could see it being a problem in another situation. The adjoining tent sites all had fire rings with a grill.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the friendly atmosphere. We also appreciate your feedback about the fire ring at your site. Thanks for letting us know and we hope to welcome you back soon!

We love the sites and we especially love having our site along the babbling brook. This KOA is called a resort KOA and it is... including a nice restaurant across the street... very convenient!

Beautiful grounds! So peaceful and the deluxe cabin we stayed in was spotless with more amenities than we expected. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to come back and mine for more diamonds.

Excellence in all aspects; especially the staff. After sitting up our site we walked to the KOA Store and found it had just closed. Staff were walking to their car to go home. They asked if they could help, reopened the store and we purchased some supplies. We thanked them then and we thank them now! �

This campground is gorgeous!!! The staff is warm and friendly. The sites are super clean, there's a ton of things for the kids to go and do, we felt extremely safe (letting the boys go explore on their own). We can't wait to come again!! ,

Even though it rained the whole time we were there we really enjoyed our stay. There's plenty of things to do with the mine right there. We're looking forward to visiting in the future.

This was our second time staying here. We love the creekside lodges-- they are clean and have everything we need, the view is beautiful, and you can hear the creek if you sleep with the windows open. Last time my husband and daughter went tubing and I was able to watch them from the patio. Mining was fun as well. We will be back again!

Our repeat guests are like family! Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoy the creek, the view and the mine! Please come camp with us again soon!

The staff and overall resort were wonderful but we were displeased with the tree house. Upon entry the cabin smelled and I traced it to a very stinky kitchen sponge. The main bed could only be accessed from one side and the mattress needs replacing. The bunk beds were not made up despite a reservation for three people. Difficult to make bunks with vinyl mattress. Table had two chairs for 3.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the staff and resort overall. We are sorry the tree house fell short of expectations and appreciate your comments - they help us improve. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time.

The staff were very flexible with the changes I needed made to the reservation. There were great amenities and the luxury lodges were fun and educational!

Staff was friendly, grass was mowed. I understand reasons for the changes... reservations only made online or by calling, but it is an inconvenience.

The main property seemed to be very nice, unfortunately fortunately we were placed across the road. It felt more like a state park than a KOA. It's a good thing we didn't need the bathhouse or laundry, it would have been quite the walk and serious climb to return. Very rough dirt/gravel road with an extreme hill as access. We will not return. Ain

Our site was beautiful, but for the amount we paid( over $80 a night) cable tv service should have been included. We only got 4 tv antenna channels. Hopefully this service will be added in the future.

Smoke detector went off in the middle of the night it took them multiple times to fix it and then put a battery in it that was low and it just chirped. Wish the cabins bed were not so small they stated queen but when we arrived they were definitely not. We had to switch our stay because we brought our dogs but we saw other people have there dogs with them in the same cabin we originally rented.

It rained so we were limited on what activities we could do so we will have to come again. I was upset because we confirmed our site. I called to confirm our site again after the booking and when we arrived they moved our site stating the we didn’t pay a fee to confirm it. There was a personal reason to get the site I had and they should have said I may be moved when I called to confirm.

It was a rainy three days but the camp activities, diamond mines and general great atmosphere kept both kids and adults entertained. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Everything about this campground is beautiful. The cabin we stayed in was beautiful. Unfortunately the bed was not. The mattress cover was dirty and had wet stains on it. We had to go to Walmart and purchase a mattress topper. I don’t think we would return to the campground. To pay over a thousand dollars seems a bit excessive if they don’t inspect the beds

We have been coming there for 16 years....Every year for Memorial day camping! The price of the sites are ABSOLUTELY ridiculous.....This rear it was $146 a night and next year would be $174 a night....That is highway robbery.....Had no water pressure in my camper and everyone else was complaining too....Half the events that were supposed to happen...Never did and no more cable!

Our third time to Herkimer, we always stay at the deluxe lodges on the mining side of the street up at the very top (351). There are three (350, 351, 352) This time we brought up two additional families and we all enjoyed the accommodations, employees, and mining. We were bummed the Miner's Table restaurant wasn't open for the season yet, but Hannaford has great party platters for large groups.

We are always happy to welcome you back and especially glad you brought additional families along! Thrilled to hear that everyone had a great experience with the accommodations, staff, and of course mining! We truly appreciate your continued support and cannot wait to see you again!

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
