The cabin that we stayed in was very quiet and away from the busy lower level which was perfect. The water temperature in the shower was luke warm at best which was disappointing. The staff was very friendly. Would have liked more food options on site.

This is a resort? I don’t think so with the state of the bathrooms (old and not maintained), spotty inconsistent Wi-Fi and small dog park. AND you charge an extra $10 resort fee!! That should be mentioned when making reservations. We didn’t see any staff coming around checking on things and cleaning up. Won’t stay here again.

loved the campground and the floating on the river.

I will start with the pros of our stay. The site was very nice. Being right on the water was ideal and the size of the site was great. That is the end of the pros. When we arrived, we found that our site obviously had not been cleaned. The fire pit had not been cleaned out. While we were camping, they decided to mow the lawns which meant that, at best, it was spot mowed. I did not appreci

Site was level, but on the expensive side. We had people cutting thru our site with their tunes and to get to the pool every day! Would not recommend getting a pull thru site in the original section across from the pool or office since other campers were rude when asked not to walk around and not cut thru our campsite. We won't be back.

We enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things to consider to improve visitor experience. The Wi-Fi is very weak, relied on our cell service to access internet and stream channels. The pool water was very cold and many bugs floating in the water. More pool chairs/umbrellas would be helpful. The Garden is beautiful. More paid solo performers and less Kareoki will screaming sing solo’s.

The staff greeted us with a smile, were cheerful and seemed eager to help the moment we arrived to check in.

Cool spot. The bathrooms were disgusting. And they were far from tent sites.

No trees. Deep rut in entrance to campsite. Nice restaurant. Too expensive. Convenient location.

Amazing. Love the new grass area. It really bring everyone off their camp sites and together. Nice sense of community. My girls enjoyed the music at night.

It was very relaxing would have like to see the pool more clean. Had a lot of bugs in it. But over all it was a great weekend

We stayed in the new mountainside cabins . They are very nice . The only recommendations i have are some hooks to hang things inside, an outdoor mat and usb plugs . We enjoyed our stay and would def come again!

This was our first stay at a KOA Camp/Resort. Have camped extensively with Cub Scouts and BSA. I was looking for a quick escape with some nature and fun for my 8yr old son, but wanted reasonable lodging considering the rainy forecast and didn’t want to be in a tent. The Mountainside Glamping Pod with private bathroom was perfect. We truly enjoyed ourselves even with some rain. Would go again!

Fantastic location along the beautiful West Canada Creek. It is a super clean and open place with so much natural beauty. It is kid and pet friendly but was not loud and was very quiet at night... even though music and entertainment were just steps away.

The new clamping pods were fantastic, everything was so clean upon arrival; there were so many activities for the kids and the pool was big enough to accommodate everyone on site.

Cabin K1 was filthy. Spiderwebs & spiders, cobwebs, but most of all, ants. We had to keep all food that didn't need refrigeration in the car. I've stayed in cabins at other campgrounds, and they were always clean. Rustic doesn't mean dirty!

Friendly staff. Well maintained grounds and cabin. Lots to do. Very relaxing!

It is the tale of Two Cities, or in your case, the tale of two campgrounds. The lower "resort" campground meets expectations, but the upper "resort" campground is more like a third world country. Only by car or a long walk with hundreds of stairs could we access the lower campground. The upper sites at best would qualify for KOA Journey status. Very disappointing.

Very nice stay, good staff, clean amenities, and nice pool.

great property AND>>>> The KOA in Outter banks gave texts updates for arrival and activities for the day while on site, as well answered questions via text aas needed.. I received ZERO commuincation about arrival or activities while on site.

Our stay was just OK. Considering that this is a KOA Resort we were disappointed. We’ve stayed at many KOA Holidays and Journeys. Some are better than others for sure but this is our first time at a Resort. We stayed in a “large deluxe cabin “. It didn’t live up to its billing. Was quite run down and badly needs updating. As stated overall it was ok but certainly not “resort” standards

We stayed in a cabin. Very quiet, clean and comfortable. Our little girl loved the porch swing. We had a memorable stay. Campground staff was courteous and friendly.

Even though I stayed one night; I loved hearing the sounds of river water right outside my cabin. I came to buy some diamonds on my way to Buffalo because of the Tucson Gem Show. It's a beautiful KOA.

Herkimer was a nice KOA. Wanted to send a thank you to Harold one of the maintenance professionals as he went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. Please pass on our thank you to him as he is an amazing person. Thank you

We have been coming here for over 20 years. Sites are in great shape. Bathrooms are as clean as they can be kept. Weather was crazy, but that is camping. Cost of 2 pizzas was $10 more than 2 years ago (we didn't buy pizzas last year.) That's a large price increase.

Im a planner, have to say my plans were ALL fouled-up due to MISINFORMATION. The miners table hours listed fit into my PLAN but the information on hours and days of operation were different when we got there(fouled-up dinner)! The Garden bar & grill wouldve been a savior but she closed early (had to eat breakfast for dinner)! One KOA agent gave my KOA discount another didnt. Drove5hours for that

The stay was great! Loved our site and the amenities!! Bathrooms were clean.

Brought my kids and 2 dogs. The Campground has lots to offer: pool, yard games, walking, watching the water, tubing. The garden is beautiful. The store is well equipped. The place is magical. And the staff is beyond friendly.

Great place with the exception of the bathrooms. There were no wheelchair accessible stalls for men. That really made it difficult, and I had called prior to coming and was assured that the bathrooms were wheelchair accessible.

The best way to describe our stay is "it was not long enough". It is an excellent example of a KOA Resort. If you asked us what to improve, our response is not a thing. The facilities and activities are outstanding. The staff is friendly, professional and always there to assist their visitors. Highly recommend planning a stay here and going mining for Herkimer diamonds.

We were moved from the main campground to the mountain area, which we specifically tried to avoid when booking. The staff were less then helpful when explaining why. The medication was expired in the store. The campsites themselves were tight because of the garden area. Pretty but not effective

We've been going to the Herkimer KOA for almost 30 years. It is clean ,and well staffed. Harold, one of the staff, was especially friendly and helpful, with great attitude. My wife paid $13 for a bottle of ketchup and mustard at the camp store, so avoid the camp store and shop ahead. The deluxe cabins are very nice but feel removed from the campground, as they are attached to the mine attraction.

They have so much to offer it is hard to know where to begin. The addition of the ice cream and food / beer/ wine trailers is a great one. I do miss the basketball court because it is a great place for kids to meet people and you can entertain yourself for a while shooting hoops - cant play alone with volley ball.
