We were placed in an ‘upgraded patio’ site, right by the front of the office. Very busy with traffic, kids, golf carts, pool noises, etc. Was not peaceful at all. Really nothing else for adults besides the diamond mine across the street, and that was ok.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Meeting Harold (was driving a golf cart, tending to grounds) was a high point of trip. His energy and appreciation for all the beauty around him was palpable and contagious! Big Kudos to him. We were tempted to tip him but refrained because we really felt his joy was in truly helping and didn’t want to offend him, but he rocked and deserves to be noticed

Short but sweet, will definitely be back!

So mostly everything about the stay was great. My biggest complaints are that when I booked I was promised a queen size bed for 2 people but instead showed up to a small full size bed, so that made sleeping at night very uncomfortable. And the a/c worked but sounded broken and very loud. Check in was at 3pm but when we got there at 3:30 one room wasn't ready. I'll leave google review as well.

Harlod B is an incredible asset to your organization. He was beyond helpful. The facilities and play/family areas were great. We will definitely come back.

We enjoy staying at Herkimer KOA. Friendly and helpful staff. My only negative comment is the fact that I was not advised that there was no longer cable service until I checked in. I would think that an email to all of the campers who have stayed in the past would have been sent advising that there was no longer cable service.

My family had a wonderful time! The resort was clean, beautiful and well organized. The river was awesome to float down. Location was perfect. We will be back for sure!

Space was very clean and comfy. Overall very fun and relaxing. The photos of the cabin could use updates and yes it sleeps 8 but two of those beds are for two people to share. This was the best family trip I’ve had in a while. Thank you.

We enjoyed the camp ground and all the activities that were planned. We made tie dye shirts used the pool, ate at the shops. Even had jewelry created by Dan at the mines, which we love. Had a great time, definitely want to visit again.

One of the nicest places we've ever stayed!! Beautiful campground, good-sized lots, right on the river (creek). Friendly, helpful people. Ice cream and food onsite. Great amenities! And right across the street from one of the Herkimer Diamond Mines. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back!

Nice KOA camp ground. The Diamond mine was very expensive for families escpecially the slouthing for diamonds, should get some type of discount for multiple times.

Our stay was quick but great! Everything we needed was at our cabin. It made for a nice quick overnight stay. We enjoyed being able to have a fire and hang out outside on the porch even though it was raining. We didn't have enough time to check out all the amenities, but from what we could tell, there was plenty to do to keep everyone entertained and happy.

Beautiful well kept park! Lots to do and stay entertained If you choose. Sites are big and kept clean. This park provides lots of extras too. Definitely our favourite KOA in Canada and the US.

We had a wonderful site (68) at creek side. It was so relaxing to sit by the creek and watch the tubers go by! We were there for my HS Reunion, so were offsite much of the time.

For a higher end KOA, and all those I have stayed at I would say this place left a bad taste. First negative review written. Front desk less than friendly at check in nor provided a good customer experience (girl dealt with, yes her first day but not trained well) and college girl at ice cream booth needs training (longer story than can explain). Cantina great/property nice. Contact if questions

This was my family's 5th year at Herkimer KOA. We love it , but the cabin was extremely dirty and seemed to be falling apart. The staff was excellent! And we are definitely coming back next year. Thanks!!
Aug 07, 2023
Always a great time. Grounds much cleaner and the new park is awesome. We can definitely notice a difference in how many grounds/ maint workers were always busy. Keep the updates coming. Only thing is maybe find a differ t area for the dumpsters by the bath houses for the sites across from 70-76. The smells for our sites were awful. Becca was The Best as always

We did rebook, but the price increase will impact our return. The increasing cost of camping is getting to be ridiculous.

It was fun, goodly maintain. Although my campsite (101) was partially submerged. Still had a blast and do more fireworks!!! And the food at the trailer is the bomb..

Our stay was quite pleasant. Everyone we dealt with was very accommodating. I will say that I found your web site very UN-user friendly and confusing. I felt that I should have been able to put in my confirmation # and be able to see which accommodations I had reserved or answer any questions I had. I made several phone calls Left a message & never received a call back in regard to my questions!

we had a blast and will be staying again Harold is an amazing help there!! he went out of his way to ensure we got our truck started to leave. Thanks Harold!!!

The staff were exceptional, so helpful and friendly and really helped make our stay. We had a cabin which was clean and comfortable and the whole campground was brilliant.

The cabin was clean and cozy. The kids lived the pool and play areas. We enjoyed walking along the river exit area by the playground. Found some nice fossils, Herkimer Diamonds, garnet, sodalite, lapis, and rose quartz. The kids have already decreed that this is our summer vacation trip every year. Will be booking our stay for next summer soon.

worst dump station I've ever used. not enough water pressure to hook up for tank cleaning jets. Poor set up all together. First time this year out of a dozen trips to different camp dump stations that I got wet and the smell was terrible. I would not use your dump stations again. I also watched the 4 people in front of me while I was waiting, and they ALL had problems.

Always a great time at Herkimer KOA. Great staff, very clean and lots to do!

Everything was perfect! Clean bathrooms, incredibly friendly staff, the bar and grill was a bonus, and our pod was lovely. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for a lovely three days.

Young people at the checkin counter were so helpful. One thing that was disappointing--no coffee as promised. �

Was a bit noisey at night, and super expensive.

We gave stayed for last ten years! The rates have doubled, adding a resort rate, and extra fee for picking site a year in advance! Weed whacking on sunday. The sewer connection on site 68 is 12 inches above ground, they all should be close to grade. Dangerous tree with most of root ball showing and rotting tree will fall on campsites69,70,71. Not the first time a tree has fallen on a campsite. FYI

Started out rough as the online reservation system overbooked the type of campsite I had reserved. However Josh was wonderful and took over and found us a great spot and was super helpful! The people we interacted with at the ice cream stand and food truck were really nice as well!
Aug 02, 2023
We had a wonderful stay and will gladly recommend this KOA! The site was spacious and very clean. The kids activities were engaging. Pricing of the food options were a little high so we dined elsewhere. The scenery of this campground alongside the creek was beautiful!

Positives: Great activities(mining, swimming, tubing, games, laundry, office). Great staff. Negatives: Broken AC in cabin, maintenance guy was great, did his best, but we had to live with a window unit that didn't really fit right and cardboard covering. Construction in the parking lot with constant noise and dust. Wifi could not reach the cabin, had to walk towards the office for signal.

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.

We camped here last weekend for their season opening. The staff was so very nice at both the Campgrounds and the Mines. Everyone we met was just absolutely just the most friendly and welcoming that we had an amazing time and immediately rebooked to come back when it's a tiny bit warmer. Despite having a rainy and cold weekend, the view of the creek was lovely and my kids had a ton of fun at the mines and my little guy loved the playground.

We love this campground and the diamond mines. The staff here are so nice. The new RV sites are my favorite.
