Our third year staying at Herkimer KOA. We love it here! So much to do, very clean, and friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!

The staff was inexperienced (front desk-Was a teenager) We were a 45 foot motor home pulling a Jeep. We initially assigned a spot that a 40 footer would have trouble getting into and they did not inform us we should disconnect the jeep . Then gave us another site that we had to use the lawn are to get in. Recommend that their web site tell about limited access for large vehicles.

First time camping and it was amazing! Clean. Super friendly staff. It was just the right getaway we needed. We are definitely going to be booking again.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Herkimer KOA and we absolutely loved it! Our cabin was very clean. The amenities worked great, fridge and a/c were nice and cold. Only down side was no microwave otherwise everything was terrific!

It was a very nice stay! The staff was extremely friendly and we had no major concerns. Two items we did find odd though. Our site had a sewer cover somewhat near the fire ring that did have some smell when we were near it. We also found it strange that there was a ice cream social that we were charged money for. I guess I just had a different idea of a resort location. Prob come again tho.

Extremely expensive, but I can see where KOA is investing a lot into the campground. I had a good time here, and everyone was very nice and very helpful.

The most important part of tent camping is the bathroms. And they were below standard. They are so far away from the tent site to get to. Then, when you get there, there is only one shower stall and 2 toilets. For the 30ish tent sites! The last straw was when those few toilets, very far away, were then out of order for the second half of our stay. I have 4 little kids and that was torture.

Campground is clean, newly renovation, kind staff. We love to camp on the creek side. We found herkimer diamonds on the shoreline. There is a new park, with volley ball, playground, large yard chess and checkers. Store has anything you may need. Laundry and dishwasher stations. Full hookup sites at no extra charge. We love it!!

Slightly disappointed as information on the site directly conflicted with what was available. There was no basketball court for the kiddos, which we were looking forward to. Breakfast was no longer offered. The website was misleading and needs to be updated.

the only issue is that water noise is a bit terribly during the night. Otherwise, camp is great and solid recommended.

We stayed on a pull through site. It was a combination of gravel and mostly dirt and very unlevel. Bathrooms were in bad need of a refresh - fine for toilets and sinks but I would not take a shower there. For $105 a night, I expected a better experience. Not horrible, just not worth the money paid and the quality expected. There is lots of construction happening so it may be better in the future.

great sites and great staff!!

Beautiful background setting. Difficult to imagine a better campground in the U.S.. But, pulling my car behind a 40' pusher, up and down those little mountains, and unsure of where I'm towing it to, this was well worth the effort. Don't be afraid, even the snow geese playing in the river, right in front of the sight was worth it.! GO, GO, GO!!!!!

Very pricey and not all everything was operational

We definitely enjoyed ourselves at the mine and checking out local attractions as well. I would definitely stay here again, but it would need to b after it's up and running fully under the new ownership. We were put in a cabin with no TV that worked yet so the nights were pretty boring w/no entertainment, we were told no TV the 2nd day there. But once they work out the bugs I would stay again.

Had an awesome stay in the rustic cabin! We visited during opening weekend for "First Crack", first time in NY, had a great time. Hosts were attentive, cabin clean, linens provided, comfortable mattress, fridge, TV and an awesome porch swing.... all you need to relax and enjoy! We found several nice diamonds too! �

It is early in the season so not everything was available. With the rain it would have been nice to have the tv working.

I stayed in The treehouse with my grandson on Thursday April 20. Admittedly it was early in the season. There were still lots of limbs and debris on the property. Lots of dug up spots. It just looked dingy. The treehouse needed a good cleaning. There was dust and old bandaids in the bunk beds.the floor / rug was visibly dusty and dirty. TheTV had big greasy handprints on it. Yikes!!

The rates are high compared to other KOA’s and there is slow or limited Wi-Fi. It’s good to see all of the additions under way which may put them closer to their price point. We were, unfortunately, very disappointed with the new menu at the Miners Table. Other than an aged dry Delmonico steak, the rest of the menu is like your typical pub menu. Pizza and Burgers.

2 nights to rest up after long hard travel. Beautiful and extremely interesting Campground. One of the most unique I’ve ever stayed at. We hope to make it back someday. Good luck!

Very nice other than no TV. I think when that happens you should give credit for another stay or discount on your stay.

One of the most scenic and well kept KOA we have visited. Staff extremely friendly and helpful!

It was a very lovely stay but there was slight miss communication with the food service

Came up with a bunch of scouts. They all enjoyed themselves very much. Next time we would prefer if you could do something about the horrible thunderstorms that got everyone soaked it would be great

Stayed in deluxe cabin which are pricey. TV didn't work due to low WIFI which you state is high speed. When we were able to get something it continually buffered then closed out. Poor phone service again due to low WiFi. Staff suggested we stand by reception area for better service!! Towels were cheap, rough and small. It rained and the air conditioner window leaked due to poor installation.

We couldn't have fire pit, metal enclosure was so rotted/ rusted away it wouldn't hold smaller pieces of burning wood that fell right thru bottom. No dish soap to clean dishes, and miners parked in designated cabin space when they shouldn't. No TV channels, they brought a DVD player but couldn't hook it up without correct HDMI cable lol. They didn't seem to care about amenities.

We stayed in solar 3, lovely cabin.. but, tv didn’t work, no signal, ac did not work, and gas stove is set up for natural gas? But likely runs on propane, hence the explosive, hair burning light, and yellow flame..causing soot on pan.. gas grill was gross..left before 9am so couldn’t turn key in and mention this in person., we still like the place, but for the cost, needs to be addressed..tha

All workers were very responsive, to start there was no water pressure and no hot water the first night. the next day the filters were changed, we got water pressure. Hot water worked in both sinks but not in the shower. At 7pm Travis came for 45 mins. with a huge sales pitch. Finally he tells us you have to run the sink for hot water in the shower. no pots n pans to make breakfast either!

Loved the cabin, check in quick and friendly. Had planned dinner and drinks at the restaurant but very disappointed when we got there it was closed. We didn’t know this agreed of time and would have planned something else for dinner! This should have been told to us especially since I sent an email asking for a menu and still wasn’t told it would be closed.

Nice place to spend near running creek. Staff was very welcoming and made sure our stay was good.

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.
