Campground is nice. Wasn't pleased with access road to mountainside campground, dusty, steep. Not the fault of the campground getting there from I-90 is a pain, bridge work

Thank you for your feedback, Maurice! We are glad you enjoyed the campground, even with the tricky road to your site. We appreciate your insight and will keep it in mind moving forward. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

We really enjoyed this KOA. We chose the mountainside camping area. Very peaceful. The sites were a little narrow, but we appreciated the landscaping between the sites to give a little privacy. Everything was neat and clean. The only thing we would suggest is putting more doggy waste stations around that area, especially as you walk further up the hill to the upper part of that area.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you, Elizabeth! We are so glad you enjoyed the peaceful mountainside area and the landscaping touches. We appreciate your suggestion about adding more dog waste stations, that is helpful feedback, and we will definitely take it into consideration. Hope to see you again soon!

This campground was BEAUTIFUL! Situated alongside the West Canada Creek, the setting was perfect. This KOA had so much to offer...it was clean, well kept, well managed, big sites, and a Garden area like nothing we've ever seen. This area was a huge open area for children to run and play with cozy furniture and fire pits around the edge. A food trailer and ice cream trailer made for great food.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Wow, thank you for such a wonderful review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the beauty of West Canada Creek and all the special touches around the campground. Hearing that you loved the big sites, garden area, and tasty treats makes our day! We cannot wait to welcome you back again for more camping fun!

Helpful, friendly staff and well-kept grounds and amenities. Accommodation (cabin) was nice, and diamond mines onsite made for easy activity planning and scheduling. We generally stay in hotels, but I will be actively searching KOAs for our next excursion. The high standard has been set by Herkimer! Thanks for a great stay!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Wow, what an awesome compliment, thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your cabin, the diamond mines, and the overall KOA experience. It is great to hear we may have converted a hotel goer! Herkimer will be ready to welcome you back anytime!

The campground was very nice. We stayed in a cabin which was very clean . We went to the cafe in the morning and the chef didn't show up so there was no breakfast. Other than that it was great

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the great review, Ann Marie! We are so glad you enjoyed your clean cabin and had a great stay overall. We are sorry about the breakfast mix up. We appreciate your understanding and hope your next visit is delicious from start to finish!

Was disappointed to find the eateries weren't open during my stay - this should have been on your website or in my reservation notification, so could plan a. Additionally, your WIFI signal was so weak that the TV couldn't connect, hence no TV or WIFI for my device. The cabins on the river really should have a screen door to take advantage of the view and the sounds of the river - IMO.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback! We are sorry some things did not meet expectations. We will work on better communication about amenity closures and appreciate your suggestions about the WiFi and cabin features. Hope you will consider visiting again!

Very clean , everyone very friendly and knowledgeable. Dummy me left the Toad on, ran my battery down. They said no problem and helped out. I wish it wasn't so far from us. Thank you for everything!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Everyone liked the campground. Our cabin was clean and nicely decorated. The heat and air worked well. The bed was comfortable and there was enough plates, pots and silverware. There was no food on site because it was only offered on the weekends. Our only problem was the bathroom door. It was broken. It was a sliding, somewhat heavy, door that was challenging to move.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the great feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the cabin and amenities. We appreciate you letting us know about the bathroom door and will address it. Sorry about the limited food options during your stay, hope to see you again soon!

Two reasons for not a 5 were..the dumpstation is on a hill! And not in a traffic friendly place. Second is, for the price, the sight was very short and not an easy back in for how small they are. The grounds are beautiful!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful grounds. We understand your concerns about the dump station and site layout, and we will definitely take that into consideration as we look to improve. We hope to welcome you back again!

Small cabins were very cute and clean. Loved the proximity to the diamond mining. Only wish they had more closet storage for your clothes and brighter lighting. I will definitely visit again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback, Kim! We are so glad you enjoyed the cozy cabins and the convenience of being close to the diamond mining. We hope you found some treasures! We appreciate your suggestions and will certainly keep them in mind. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon!

We had so much fun staying here! We rented a pod and it was very comfortable. I had fun doing tie-die and rafting on the river. I would def stay again-probably the nicest campground we have stayed at. thank you

One night stay put on a mountain top with no shower laundry facilities. Must give credit for the beauty and quiet surroundings.

We were very pleased with the KOA until Saturday evening. The cabin was everything we could hope for and needed. It was a very peaceful stay, until Saturday evening. There was a wedding reception in the event tent and the DJ could be heard all over the park! It was not pleasant music! We were in cabin DK2 directly down the hill from the tent. We will not stay here again if there's an event.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Joseph, we are so happy to hear that the beginning of your stay was very peaceful and pleasant! We are sorry to hear about the second part of your stay. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our goal is that your entire stay is just right! Please do come stay with us again soon!

The new mini homes are lovely. A beautiful view! As with all things there were a few flaws. No shampoo in dispenser, floor of shower is pitched oddly, no cleaning tools or trash bags. All in all a lovely stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed the new mini homes and the beautiful view. We appreciate your helpful feedback about the shampoo, shower floor, and supplies, we will work on those details to make future stays even better. We would love to welcome you back soon!

The staff were absolutely incredible, so polite and helpful. I only rated 4 stars because the shower water never got hot, only one shower got to warm at the end of the women’s bathroom. I understand it’s the end of the season and staff was probably cut but the one staff member working both food stations (the grill and the cafe) could’ve used some help as it was busy. We can’t wait to come

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Katie! We are thrilled to hear our staff made a great impression. We appreciate your feedback about the showers and busy food stations, your comments help us improve. We cannot wait to welcome you back for an even better visit!

With electrical being cut off with no notice and being on C-Pap a phone call would have been nice don't all ways have access to E-mail

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very sorry to hear about the unexpected power outage and understand how important reliable electricity is, especially with a C-Pap machine. Your feedback is important, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The staff were friendly and the park and bathrooms were clean. Nice spacious sites in a beautiful setting. Access to the diamond mine was easy and there were a lot of activities for a family to enjoy. My disappointment was with the firewood purchased there and that the dining options were not available. The restaurant was closed and snack shop was not open during posted hours.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad you enjoyed our friendly staff, clean facilities, and beautiful setting, especially with easy access to the diamond mines and all the fun family activities. We truly appreciate your feedback and will work to improve your next visit!

The beds were in poor shape, the table leg fell off. Floor was not clean when we checked in. Definitely not worth $600 for 2 nights. Staff were friendly.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team to ensure these issues are addressed. We are glad our staff made a positive impression and hope we can do better next time.

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
