We stayed in the hilltop lodge(s) which were new, spacious, clean, and bright. Plus they were stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed our stay immensely and took in all the activities - from mining and fishing to firepits and frivolity. Thanks for making our stay an all-in-one-spot adventure! The staff go out of their way to make everything perfect!

I was so impressed by the campgrounds and the staff. Everyone was so helpful and let us check in early because the cabin was ready. The grounds were so well-maintained, and the tree house had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was a memorable visit for my kids' first camping/glamping trip. We will definitely be back next year!

We had an excellent stay. From the contact before arrival to check-out, the staff was fantastic. We stayed in a deluxe cabin which had plenty of space for what we needed. Cabin was cozy and rustic. The only thing it could use is more light as it tends to be on the darker side inside due to the shade from the surrounding trees. We would recommend this site to others and will definitely be back!!!

The cabin was comfortable, and the food offered at the airstream was great. The staff at check-in were very nice. The property was great and being located along the creek was awesome. Spent a lot of time just sitting by it.

Pod was too small even for just an overnight stay. Everything else was good. Could not find checkout info. Left the key in the pod and locked the door. Got a call from Koa asking if we had the key.

I have always mined next door at The Ace of Diamonds mine. I like and always found lots of lose stones through the panning. Really wish you guys offered that not just through the pay dirt. And flipping the material with fresh tailings would be nice. The grounds were nice and the cabin was perfect.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for visiting with us. We are glad you enjoyed the grounds and your cabin stay. We appreciate your suggestions about the mining experience and will share them with our team. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries.

OMG, THE STAFF WAS AMAZING. THE GROUNDS WERE SO CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL. THE GROUNDS CREW IS INCREDIBLE. THE GLAMPING POD WAS SOOO AWSOME, WE ARE DEFINITELY COMMING BACK.
Jun 10, 2026
As first time visitors it was nice to find everything you needed was supplied so if we come again we can pack less. We were a little disappointed to find out at the 4:00 PM check-in that the diamond mine and miner village closed at 5:oo pm. Wish that that information was told to us in some way, shape or form. So to us the first day was a waste of time and money. If we come again we will come early

Nancy was super friendly, super nice and super helpful when we got there and threw out our one night stay. Our cabin was lovely and well stocked. The futon was a little difficult to sleep on, but we loved having a fire out on the patio and the swing on the porch. The campgrounds were clean and beautiful. It was nice to see such a beautiful family place for kids could run around, swim n be safe !

This was definitely the best KOA we've ever stayed at. It was clean, had linens, your own table and chairs, gas grill, etc. Plus the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We made friends while camping with our cabin neighbors. We will be back in the future for sure!

I found this KOA to be one of my favorites out of many I visited up and down the East Coast. The fact that they have linens for cabins is a huge plus, especially for motorcycle riders. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and is one of the main reasons I will return soon.

Ck in was fine, the inside cabin looked like it was put together from items from a dumpster. The chairs are so badly stained. I would not even let my grandson sit in them. I was told I would not have to bring a thing this was a “deluxe”cabin#3, over $1000., 4 our stay, I believe them. There are more utensils in a camp kit. I had to ask for cof filtrs &mugs. I rc’d wet flat ones & cups.Nvr. a

What an amazing experience! The campground is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The entire staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout our stay. Phil and Janett went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. We also loved visiting the mines, where the staff took the time to help us find the perfect piece of jewelry. The customer service here is truly exceptional.

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.
Jun 01, 2026
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.

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.

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.
May 13, 2026
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.

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.

Me and my friend took her 9 yr old grandson here this past weekend. We stayed in a cozy cabin K16. Fresh linens provided, very clean, rustic, cute. This particular one did not have a bathroom but it was very close. Pretty, well maintained site with playground. Staff is FABULOUS and Phil gave our car a jump start as we were trying to leave with a dead battery. Outside of bathroom big sinks with Dawn soap/hot water to wash dishes. All the cabins and sites are beautiful and we had the mohawk to wade in a stone's throw! The shops are beautiful and he had fun in the mines. Not 1 piece of garbage, anywhere. I highly recommend this beautiful place, especially with a family. U can be in the thick of things or more secluded! JUST GO and see this 'GEM' of Upstate, NY!

Overall this is a great campground with excellently maintained common spaces, clean showers and bathrooms, a super fun activities schedule and friendly staff. Also its located directly across the street from the KOA Herkimer Diamond Mine, so we walked there which was convenient. We rented a glamping site for 4 which is suitable for a night or two. The only issue was the actual room was dirty ( had dust and animal hair everywhere ) the coffee maker didnt work and the towels provided were super small. I'm still giving 5 stars and still 100% recommend staying here. The beds were comfortable and the sheets decent. Many of sites, including the one we rented, are facing the river. Ours had a sweet little pourch and a swinging chair for two. All that makes up for the dirty room. Cause clearly this place is awesome and I feel lucky that I got to stay here.
