Our kids love camping at Herkimer so much, that even when our camper was out of commission, we pivoted and rented a rustic cabin. The Diamond Mine and Geode Reveal were huge hits again this year. And we just love building core memories with our kids running around a camp ground with their friends and flashlights. The whole property is maintained to a high standard.

Everyone was extremely nice. Got there after hours and they opened the store again to make sure I had everything I needed for the stay. The cabin was clean and beautiful. The entire resort was clean. The food was amazing. The prices in the main store and mine gift shop was reasonable. First time mining was amazing staff gave helpful pointers and renting equipment was easy.

The glamping pod was absolutely perfect in every way, I used it as a base camp to go to several different mines, absolutely love staying here and we’ll be back again!

We love our sites but after 22 years, we did not make reservations for next year. The price per night, fees and activity costs are not family friendly anymore. The campground has gone from welcoming family feel to commercial give me your money feel. We know change is essential but usually it goes the positive direction, the lack of campers should show you that did not happen. Go back to pre-covid!

Amazing for children! Loved all the activities- even though the weather did not cooperate.
May 26, 2026
Great trip. The staff is amazing! The site was clean. Keep doing what you are doing and we will be back. We were also successful with mine and came back with a handful of really nice pieces.

Cabin was very small for the price and raining the whole time checked out early

We were there for only one night, this time, but we will definitely stay longer when we are in this area again. It is a beautiful setting and everything is well maintained. There is a great 'trees' house, a main central outdoor gathering place with comfy seating, manicured lawn, colorful flowers. All to be enjoyed. We are full time in our RV. What a privilege this stay was.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad your night with us left such a strong impression. The peaceful setting, outdoor spaces, and friendly team are things we take pride in. We would be happy to welcome you back for a longer stay!

This was my first stay at a KOA CAMPGROUND! They are pros. I feel spoiled for other camping sites now. The attention to detail, the OUTSTANDING customer service, the friendly staff and the beautiful campground itself all made this a trip to remember! I will be coming back! Thank you for everything you do!

Would be nice to have hot water in the showers. At the resort prices, that should be a given.
May 20, 2026
Great campground. Please tell people to get off exit 30 instead of exit 29A from I90. Much better route.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Appreciate you sharing this. It is great to know you enjoyed the campground, and your note about the better exit route is truly helpful. We value your feedback and would be glad to welcome you back again.

Everything was very clean and well thought out. We loved staying near the Creek. The towels were extremely cheap and left lint on me after my shower. Everything else was fantastic!

I’ve stayed in site 65 for the past four years, same weekend each year, usually book six to eight months in advance. Our group books a total of 11 other sites, including 3 cabins. This is the first year of the “lock it in”. Several of our friends were moved from one site to another, including me that lost my site. This new policy is nothing more than a money grab, to add an additional cost.

Very clean, lots to do.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We stayed in ML cabin and our troop and pack camped in the tent sites. Everyone had a very enjoyable time and is still talking about the mine. The scouts enjoyed the gift shop, the playground and the Gaga pit as well. My most memorable experience was meeting Hazel and her human Mom. Please be sure to thank them for their hospitality.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your thoughtful note. It is great to hear the Windmill Lodge, tent sites, and activities made the stay memorable for everyone. Hazel and her mom will be glad to hear your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Our cabin upon arrival was full of dog hair, clumps of it. All over the bottom bunk, all over the full size beds sheets and clumps all over the floor. The cabin had not been swept. Had to clean before I could let the kids in so my daughter wouldn't have an asthma attack. Other than this our stay was great.

We had an amazing time, even despite the rainy weather. The glamping pods were small, but comfy and the shower was very hot. The 2 bundles of wood could easily have been 1, but we used all of it on Day 1 since it rained Day 2. The 'free' hammers are worthless and the office did not not have a wedge to rent to us. Fortunately, we rented a larger hammer and a guest gifted us a small wedge.

Our stay at the Herkimer Diamond KOA was peaceful and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly, and our cabin was clean, cozy, and quiet with beautiful scenery all around. It felt like a true nature retreat while still being just 15 minutes from town amenities. The perfect place to unplug, recharge, and enjoy the outdoors. We can’t wait to come back!

Not happy with all the higher prices for everything from cabin prices, mine entrance fee, sleuth bag fee, etc. The restaurant used to be part of our favorite experience when they had a great chef. Very disappointed. I do like the craft sessions they offer. Been coming for over 10 years and no diamonds around like it used to be.
May 10, 2026
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this campground and the mine across the street. The grounds are beautifully maintained, cabin cozy, and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. I wish every camp experience was like the weekend we were able to have in Herkimer last weekend!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What a joy to read your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the cozy cabin, the well kept grounds, and the friendly staff, and that the mine added to your weekend. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we would be happy to welcome you back again.

This was our 2nd year staying in our favorite cabin. It was an adventure because it rained our 1st 2 days. We mined in the rain and found more crystals than last year. My husband had one diamond set in a ring for my Mother's Day gift. The cabin is so wonderful. It had everything. We just needed our clothes! Everything includes shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap in the shower, the list goes on!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What a wonderful story to read. We are glad your favorite cabin made your stay so comfortable, even with the rainy start. Mining in the rain sounds like a fun memory, and the ring is such a special gift! Thank you for sharing, and we would be happy to welcome you back again.

This was just a touch and go for us as we were traveling through. We really appreciated the nice level site and ease of getting in and out. It was a pleasant stay and we would stay again if we are ever in the area.

We stayed for opening weekend from May 1–3 and had such a great experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure everyone enjoys their stay. A special shoutout to the manager at the diamond mine, who was amazing so patient, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer all of our question

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
