The cabin was fine. I like the creek setting and scenery. Unfortunately, the ladies room at the main pavilion was out of order. A large inconvenience for my wife. Only one paper dispenser in the men’s room, and neither soap dispenser worked. Other than that, I’m looking forward to coming back mid summer.

David, thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased you enjoyed the cabin and scenery, and we apologize for the restroom inconveniences. Your comments help us improve. We look forward to your return this summer!

We stayed at The Windmill Lodge on Saturday evening after enjoying a day at “First Crack”. The cabin was clean, well stocked and perfect for relaxing after a busy day. It was cool April weather and we will definitely come back to enjoy the many campground amenities offered in the summer months.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the amazing review. We love hearing the cabin was the perfect place to unwind after First Crack. We are excited to welcome you back this summer for all of the fun waiting at the campground!

Check in/out was simple and staff was friendly and helpful. We booked a deluxe glamping pod and came in after hours. When we walked in the first thing we noticed was a big dark stain in the middle of the comforter. Ew. We alerted staff in the morning and we were promptly brought a new one, but it really soured the first impression. I really cannot imagine how the housekeeper missed it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Oh no, definitely not the first impression we aim for! We are glad our team was able to get you a fresh comforter, and completely understand how that first impression put a damper on things. Thanks for sharing your experience. We hope you will give us another chance and stay with us again sometime!

We arrived at 8:30 pm, it was pitch black couldn’t see a thing. Opened our cabin and the bed was made up, towels were provided, clean restrooms and a place to wash dishes! Woke up in the morning and could see all the beauty and the river was right in front of us! Also a shout out to Harold, heart warming conversation of the area. Definitely coming back here! Peace and love

It was better than I thought. We stayed in the small building with its private bathroom. It was a cozy place to stay while we mined for diamonds .

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, Shannon. It is wonderful that the Mountainside Glamping Pod with a private bathroom made your diamond mining trip even better. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Property - 10/10 for upkeep/cleanliness. Bathrooms closest to the playground were clean - but smelled like sewage. Cabin/site - 9/10 - clean, basic amenities listed online, but the mini fridges smelled due to not being plugged in, & closed up. Suggestion: Street/walkway lights - playground lights. Even if they shut off at a certain time. People should keep a closer eye on their children.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad you found the property well maintained and cabins clean. We appreciate your notes about the bathrooms and mini fridges. Thank you also for your suggestions regarding lighting and safety. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Stayed in the treehouse and was extremely pleased. I would suggest that the mattress on the main bed be evaluated for possible replacement, but otherwise everything was great!

We had a lovely stay here for one night. It was a bit chilly out but the lodge stayed cozy. A few little things were a bit broken- towel rod loose and fell out, telescope in the outside of the lodge was broken, but the lodge itself was nice and clean. We really enjoyed making a fire and relaxing outside, it was peaceful and we had a great stay! My first time at a KOA but not my last!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sounds like your first KOA visit was a cozy success, chilly outside but warm inside! Nothing beats a good campfire to make memories (and maybe roast a marshmallow or two). Welcome to the KOA camping club! We cannot wait to see you back for round two, and three, and more!

Stay was nice. Just a suggestion to add a veggie burger to the menu at the Garden. It would have been nice to just stay in and eat there one evening, but there was no veggie option.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the great suggestion, Kimberly! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and love the idea of adding a veggie burger to the Garden menu. We will pass it along to the team! Hope you will come back hungry for more good times soon!

We love this place BUT we had very rude neighbors who partied late both nights keeping us up. There did not seem to be any enforcement of quiet time

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing your experience, Matthew. We are glad you love the campground but are sorry about the noisy neighbors, that is definitely not the peaceful stay we aim for. We will take your feedback seriously and work on better quiet time enforcement. Please come stay with us again soon!
Oct 14, 2025
Cute, clean campground, but very disappointed that activities that were advertised from 4:30-5:30 were spontaneously cancelled at 4:15 because “people didn’t show up” and the “artisan didn’t want to wait.”For the price of a nightly stay, an additional $55 per day (plus tool rental fees) for the 3 of us to mine seemed excessive. Should be included with the stay since there weren’t man

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your feedback, John. We are glad you found the campground cute and clean, but we hear your frustration about the cancelled activities and mining costs. Your comments are helpful, and we will review ways to improve scheduling and value for future guests, which we hope will include you!

Heater not work. Staff responded well. There were no hooks for our jackets, adult towels, pajamas and hand towel, face wash cloth, so I bought and used temp 3M ones. The towels were cheap and small, so we bought some. Not ok for $200 + a night. Hotel accommodations for this price elsewhere are better. All else was good. Not use a fabric basket for towels as it is unsanitary. Hooks and bars

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your detailed feedback, Heather. We are glad our staff was responsive, but we hear you on the heater, towel quality, and lack of hooks. We take your suggestions seriously to improve comfort and amenities for future guests, which we hope will include you!

Helpful, friendly staff and well-kept grounds and amenities. Accommodation (cabin) was nice, and diamond mines onsite made for easy activity planning and scheduling. We generally stay in hotels, but I will be actively searching KOAs for our next excursion. The high standard has been set by Herkimer! Thanks for a great stay!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Wow, what an awesome compliment, thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your cabin, the diamond mines, and the overall KOA experience. It is great to hear we may have converted a hotel goer! Herkimer will be ready to welcome you back anytime!

The campground was very nice. We stayed in a cabin which was very clean . We went to the cafe in the morning and the chef didn't show up so there was no breakfast. Other than that it was great

Thank you for the great review, Ann Marie! We are so glad you enjoyed your clean cabin and had a great stay overall. We are sorry about the breakfast mix up. We appreciate your understanding and hope your next visit is delicious from start to finish!

Was disappointed to find the eateries weren't open during my stay - this should have been on your website or in my reservation notification, so could plan a. Additionally, your WIFI signal was so weak that the TV couldn't connect, hence no TV or WIFI for my device. The cabins on the river really should have a screen door to take advantage of the view and the sounds of the river - IMO.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback! We are sorry some things did not meet expectations. We will work on better communication about amenity closures and appreciate your suggestions about the WiFi and cabin features. Hope you will consider visiting again!

Everyone liked the campground. Our cabin was clean and nicely decorated. The heat and air worked well. The bed was comfortable and there was enough plates, pots and silverware. There was no food on site because it was only offered on the weekends. Our only problem was the bathroom door. It was broken. It was a sliding, somewhat heavy, door that was challenging to move.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the great feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the cabin and amenities. We appreciate you letting us know about the bathroom door and will address it. Sorry about the limited food options during your stay, hope to see you again soon!

Small cabins were very cute and clean. Loved the proximity to the diamond mining. Only wish they had more closet storage for your clothes and brighter lighting. I will definitely visit again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We had so much fun staying here! We rented a pod and it was very comfortable. I had fun doing tie-die and rafting on the river. I would def stay again-probably the nicest campground we have stayed at. thank you

We were very pleased with the KOA until Saturday evening. The cabin was everything we could hope for and needed. It was a very peaceful stay, until Saturday evening. There was a wedding reception in the event tent and the DJ could be heard all over the park! It was not pleasant music! We were in cabin DK2 directly down the hill from the tent. We will not stay here again if there's an event.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Joseph, we are so happy to hear that the beginning of your stay was very peaceful and pleasant! We are sorry to hear about the second part of your stay. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our goal is that your entire stay is just right! Please do come stay with us again soon!

The new mini homes are lovely. A beautiful view! As with all things there were a few flaws. No shampoo in dispenser, floor of shower is pitched oddly, no cleaning tools or trash bags. All in all a lovely stay.

The staff were absolutely incredible, so polite and helpful. I only rated 4 stars because the shower water never got hot, only one shower got to warm at the end of the women’s bathroom. I understand it’s the end of the season and staff was probably cut but the one staff member working both food stations (the grill and the cafe) could’ve used some help as it was busy. We can’t wait to come

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
