Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This was our first time. We stayed in a glamping pod on the river - it was breathtaking and perfect. The grounds also were clean and well-kept... AND we appreciate that your store is full of useful items that are very well priced. Our son had a blast meeting other kids. We will be back.

Herkimer KOA is very nice with lots of different things to do. The grand kids enjoyed painting rocks. The only bad thing was I stayed in spot 121 and I could not get my trailer level. But it was still a great weekend. We will be back soon.

This place was great! The entire camp is set up perfectly and conveniently and every one of the staff are very pleasant and helpful. We didn't know about all of the family activities so they were a bonus and our kids had an amazing time!

We stayed at the diamond lodge with our children and grand children. The location was great, house layout and deck were fantastic. However, the bathrooms could use an update, the bedding was very well worn but clean and bedspreads needed to be washed at the very least. We would absolutely come again, it’s a lot of fun, but I don’t think we would pay to stay there again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed lodge and its location. Your comments regarding the bedding and bathrooms are noted, and we will work to improve. We appreciate your stay and hope to welcome you again.

Beautiful, modern cabin on top of the “mountain” plenty of room for my wife, myself, and our four children. We took advantage of the daily activities they put on for guests and the kids really enjoyed themselves. We had a great stay relaxing and making memories we will all remember forever. We are already planning on making it a yearly trip.

Beautiful campground along the water. Staff was very friendly. We had a pull through site as we were only staying one night. The campground is well maintained. Highly recommend and give yourself at least 2 nights so you can enjoy the great views along the water.

My family will NEVER be back unless a major management change occurs. Human waste was sprayed all over our 2 grills while a lift station that broke was being pumped about 2 ft away from our camper. There were gallons of septic human waste spilled on our site. Management did NOTHING. FULL STORY on Google Reviews. Corp. was NOT helpful. Health Dept. notified. President of KOA contacted & helping.

My family has come here for decades & Herkimer, being a family owned campground for 30+ years, you would think that they would want better for their guest. I have witnessed, sanitary/ septic issues (feces all over grills), poor management & charges on NOT only my account that the so called "Manager" couldn't explain! Unfortunately, because of their management, Herkimer has gone down hill!

Quiet on weekdays but chaotic, noisy, and crowded on the weekends. Kids on bikes are everywhere. Adults and kids pass your campsite constantly. Privacy is not respected. Trash on ground around dumpster was not cleaned up by staff and there are a lot of dead trees that need to be removed for safety. Staff in the office were pleasant and efficient during check in.

The room we were given had no carbon man oxide detector, it had been taken out. The pull out bed had springs missing so one side of the mattress went on the floor meaning you had to sleep on a steep slant. My husband ended up sleeping on the couch so my son could get some sleep. I have photos -doing a review once I get time later this week. We then stayed in the tree house and the ac was broken

THIS REVIEW IS FOR OUR STAY - AUGUST 3-10, 2025. SITE 70 ON THE RIVER: My family, friends and I will NEVER be back unless a major management change occurs. Human waste was accidentally sprayed all over our 2 grills while a lift station that had broke was being pumped. Gallons of septic human waste spilled on our site. Phil, manager, did nothing to clean it up, and ended up yelling at me! BEWARE!!

We are a 45 foot motorcoach. They put us in a pull thru site #17, the type of site which we requested. The little fences in between sites and the large trees made it very difficult to pull out. We were having to turn along the fence where the main activities were. Many trees along the route were too low, scratching our roof a lot. We were very disappointed. Very poor lot choice.

Had a decent trip. Did deal with a sewer stoppage - which the KOA team eventually resolved. It encompassed a few sites in a row. Also, site 74 power tripped at the main breaker twice (labeled site 73 at the main breaker box.) Not happy that check in for RV sites has been changed to 3PM. We lost 2 hours (unless we want to pay $25 more...)

I liked being up in the Mountainside part of the resort because there was a lot more space. I just wish the Wi-Fi was available up there also. Plus it would be super nice if the path down to the stairs was marked somehow. I wandered around for a bit before I finally saw a staff member go down it. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely consider coming back. Thank you!

Our stay at the Herkimer Diamond KOA Resort was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-kept and inviting the grounds are. The staff was warm, friendly, and eager to help make our experience memorable. The campsites were clean and perfectly set up for our needs. We loved how the resort blends a peaceful, natural setting with plenty of family-friendly activi

My glamping site was the only one with out a swing which I understand things break but you should have had it replaced before I checked in. It's very expensive to stay here and the sites are so small it was nice to be able to go mining but there isn't much around so I was excited to try the restaurant the miners table which looked great online and yet it was closed, off season should renovate

Wonderful staff. We broke down and cancelled reservation but it was a quick fix and they happily reinstated it. Beautiful campground. Was slightly disappointed that we didn't know about a barbque,that one of the activities didn't have the supplies needed or that the DJ cancelled. But all minor things. Dog park great. Staff super friendly. Pool excellent though could use more tables or chairs.

We stayed in a small riverfront lodge in the glamping section and were disappointed for the price. Our table was missing (taken by other campers), no privacy on the door so we hung towels, the cabin sloped making sleep uncomfortable, and kids ran through sites. No clear boundaries. Checkout staff didn’t ask about our stay and seemed uninterested in feedback.

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
