We stayed for the first time. We absolutely loved it!! We loved our cabin and being right on the river. The kids loved the mining. We will definitely be back next year for a longer stay!!!

We were 5 people in a cabin that sleeps 5. There is only 3 beds so in order for all to sleep we had to squeeze in an inflatable bed. Our shower water kept getting cold quickly if it came through at all and this was a problem on cold evenings to shower at the bathhouse and walk back to our cabin with children

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Your notes about the cabin layout and the water issues are important, and we will review them as we work to improve comfort and convenience for families.

Clean, beautiful campground. Stayed in site 85 on the river. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back!! Only complaint is only one handicap shower with only one grab bar, and no hand held shower head.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed the clean and beautiful river site and that our staff was helpful. We appreciate your note about the handicap shower and will review it as we continue improving the park.

Great place. Neat clean, friendly staff and beautiful scenery. Been there several times. I would definitely would recommend this place 10 times over. Mining right across the street. Herkimer is a lovely place to go to.

River roaring on one side, diamond mine on the other side, who could ask for more.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The mix of the river on one side and the diamond mine on the other really does make for a special stay. We are glad you enjoyed the setting and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We look forward to welcoming you again!

My family and some friends rented the Diamond Lodge for two nights. Everyone LOVED it! The perfect spot for cooking group meals and hanging on the porch with a gorgeous river view. It was very clean, private, and spacious enough for the kids and parents to relax. Fully equipped with everything you need. Spiral staircase might be tricky for younger kids and older folks. We can't wait to return!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We are glad the Diamond Lodge was a great fit for your group and that the space, privacy, and river view made the stay special. We look forward to welcoming you back.

My wife and I got the deluxe cabin. It was very comfortable, warm. I loved that we had a little kitchen area to cook, especially with the provided kerosene grill outside and fire pit. It was super cozy and I already can't wait to return even if only just for the camp. My only issue, was that the wifi was a awful. The mine was interesting and exhausting all together.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is great to hear the deluxe cabin felt cozy and that the kitchen setup and outdoor space worked well for your stay. Your note about the WiFi is helpful, and we appreciate the feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Amazing as always. We love staying in the cabin down by the creek. So peaceful and cozy. Thank you to the whole staff that made us truly feel like we were staying with family. We look forward to returning again next year.

Fantastic! We can’t recommend this location enough! It was our first visit to the area but we will definitely return based on this experience. No complaints with the cabin we stayed in and linens were brand new, which we appreciated! Staff at both the campground store and Miners Village were friendly and welcoming.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad your first visit made such a great impression and that you would recommend our location. It is wonderful to hear the cabin was a great fit and that our team helped make your stay welcoming. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again!

last year: 5 stars in a deluxe cabin. That cabin was brand new, great set up. This year, we got a deluxe cabin that was older, worn, the kitchen was missing some of the basics (ex. spatula for the grill). Still tons of stuff for my kid to do and we had fun, so I would do 4 stars, but our cabin had tons of wasps. husband got stung, we complained, they sprayed and told us it happens every year.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are glad your family enjoyed the activities and that you had fun together. Your feedback about the cabin condition and the wasp issue is important as we review how to improve the guest experience moving forward.

There were ants all through our cabin and even in the bedding. The maintenance guy was very nice and brought us bug spray but it did not stop the ants from coming in and only resulted in dead ants all of the floor, bed, and counter.
Apr 20, 2026
Prices are too high
Apr 20, 2026
Accommodations were very good. Facility was well set up. Only concern was seeing people climbing on cliffs and hammering rock above children. Did see a partial collapse of cliff face which, fortunately, did not hit anyone. Need to enforce rules and not just say them.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad the accommodations and facility met your expectations. We take safety very seriously, and we appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention. We will address it with our team to ensure rules are properly enforced.
Apr 20, 2026
The cabin was exactly what we needed. Everything was great. I loved that we were literally steps away from the mine.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very glad the cabin suited your needs and that you enjoyed being so close to the mine. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us.
Apr 20, 2026
Such a great place! Everyone was super nice and accommodating! Have already told everyone about what a great place you have and trying to figure out coming back in fall.

We had a wonderful stay at cabin 352 this year, its our second year here and having more time to enjoy the area and camp was perfect for us. Even during a difficult time with the water pump having issues the staff were extremely accommodating and willing to work with us to make our stay be special still. Thank you so much for another beautiful year and we will see you next year.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad your second stay in cabin 352 was so enjoyable and that our team helped make things smooth during the water pump issue. It means a lot to know your time here was special. We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Overall we had a nice time. The grounds were nice and the dig was great. Our cabin wasn't what we had expected, tried to fix with management, but was met with alot of attitude and no resolution. Refused any recompense for the issue. That was incredibly frustrating and put a big damper on our stay. There were 2 staff that stood out as exemplary , Nancy from the gift shop, and jewelry maker guy

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed the grounds, the dig, and the outstanding service from Nancy and our jewelry maker. Your feedback about the cabin situation is appreciated as we continue to improve.

Very early in the season so there were only a handful of other campers but the campground was very clean and well kept. Some of facilities (ice cream camper and food camper) were not yet open, but again season just beginning. The campground store was open and well stocked with camping needs and souvenirs. Again, all very clean and well organized.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It is great to hear you enjoyed the peaceful early season atmosphere and found the grounds clean and well kept. We are glad the store had what you needed, and we appreciate your understanding as other areas open for the season. We hope to see you again!

Everything was great until more visitors came and we were stuck between four barking dogs and a rude family. 15 empty cabins and staff decided to place the obvious obnoxious people on either side of our cabin.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad parts of your stay were enjoyable, and your feedback about the placement of nearby guests is helpful as we work to support a more comfortable environment for everyone.

Stayed with 4 year old grandson and think we found our new favorite place and thing to do. We had the best time digging for diamonds right across the street! Campground was lovely and can’t wait to go back when everything is opened up.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What a fun memory to share. It is great that you and your grandson had such a good time digging for diamonds and enjoying the campground. We would love to welcome you both back when everything is open again.
Apr 16, 2026
It was quiet and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. We'll be back at least once more this season

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Quiet and clean sounds like a great stay. It is nice to hear the staff made things easy and welcoming for you. We would be glad to have you back again this season!

Three adults rented a cabin along the water. It was clean and was stocked with what we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful views! One suggestion...for the upper bunk bed, it would be helpful to have a spot to put items like a cell phone and eyeglasses. Perhaps a hanging net bag?

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Your cabin stay sounds wonderful, and those water views must have been beautiful. Thank you for the helpful note about the upper bunk. A small storage spot would be useful. We would be glad to welcome you back for another relaxing visit.
Apr 15, 2026
The creek was really nice to hear. Bathrooms need better fans to remove the humidity. Otherwise, a great experience.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The sound of the creek must have made your stay feel really peaceful. Thank you for mentioning the bathroom fans as well, that kind of feedback helps a lot. I am glad the rest of your experience was great, and we would be happy to welcome you back.

I come to the campground couple times a year. I usually stay in the cabin always had a good experience on this trip. I got a tent site with no hook ups. I was very disappointed. The area was flooded. The ground was soaking wet and full of geese feces that I ended up just sleeping in my truck cause I didn’t wanna ruin my tent the campground was empty. It would’ve been to be put on a dry servic

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for letting us know about your recent stay. We are glad you visit us often, and your feedback about the tent site conditions is important as we review early season readiness. We appreciate you sharing this and hope your next visit is much smoother.

Great experience overall. The site was clean and easy to connect to. The staff was very friendly and helpful both before our stay and during. We camped up on the hill and it’s very windy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

Thank you for the great review. We are thrilled you enjoyed the clean site, easy setup, and friendly staff. The hill can be windy, but we are glad you still had a wonderful stay. We look forward to welcoming you back!

The cabin was fine. I like the creek setting and scenery. Unfortunately, the ladies room at the main pavilion was out of order. A large inconvenience for my wife. Only one paper dispenser in the men’s room, and neither soap dispenser worked. Other than that, I’m looking forward to coming back mid summer.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

David, thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased you enjoyed the cabin and scenery, and we apologize for the restroom inconveniences. Your comments help us improve. We look forward to your return this summer!

We stayed at The Windmill Lodge on Saturday evening after enjoying a day at “First Crack”. The cabin was clean, well stocked and perfect for relaxing after a busy day. It was cool April weather and we will definitely come back to enjoy the many campground amenities offered in the summer months.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the amazing review. We love hearing the cabin was the perfect place to unwind after First Crack. We are excited to welcome you back this summer for all of the fun waiting at the campground!

The site itself was great, funtional with a river view. Great location near mines. However, womens room was out of order. The other womens and mens restrooms had no hot water for showers and weak water pressure. Soap dispensers and PT rolls were out of order in a couple of locations. For opening weekend of the diamond mines, and $188 for 2 nights, they seemed unprepared and unkept.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed the site, river view, and proximity to the mines. Your feedback about the restroom conditions during opening weekend is appreciated and helps us improve for future guests.

Check in/out was simple and staff was friendly and helpful. We booked a deluxe glamping pod and came in after hours. When we walked in the first thing we noticed was a big dark stain in the middle of the comforter. Ew. We alerted staff in the morning and we were promptly brought a new one, but it really soured the first impression. I really cannot imagine how the housekeeper missed it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Oh no, definitely not the first impression we aim for! We are glad our team was able to get you a fresh comforter, and completely understand how that first impression put a damper on things. Thanks for sharing your experience. We hope you will give us another chance and stay with us again sometime!

We love it there but it is very pricey. I think being it was "off season" the price should be less. Our site was full of dirt, no fire pit, had to grab it from the stie next to us. The place is under construction and it is quite messy.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Dianna. We are glad you love visiting, and we understand your concerns about pricing and site conditions during the off season and construction. Your comments are helpful as we work to improve the guest experience. Please come stay with us 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
