The beginning of our day was amazing. Absolutely amazing. The man at check in was so helful and kind. Cabin is cozy and adorable with a great location, but built for tall people, we're short. The end of our stay not amazing, frustrating and rude. Weeding and mowing directly next to the cabin was the most obnoxious way to wake up. Very dissatisfied and given no warning. Bad way to end the trip.

Enjoyed our stay very much. We loved minng for "herks". Camping pod was very nice, cozy and intimate. The ladies at the front desk greeted us with smiles and were very kind and helpful. The guy in charge of food at the campground was a great guy. We enjoyed chatting with him and he does make some very delicious food! Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to visiting again.

It was my first time camping in a cabin, rather than a tent, and it was fantastic! The only minor annoyance was house flies in the cabin, but everything was clean and the cabin was nice and cool.

Everything was good the room we stayed in could’ve been a little bit cleaner. There was a pair of nasty crocs under the bed, and the door in the floor were exactly clean. Other than that. It was a very nice time and our air conditioner filter was chuck full. I had to clean it off, but not a big deal. I would definitely come back

We had a great time. Very family oriented. Fun activities for our grandkids, good food lots to do. Our solar cabin was very nice. Loved our porch, Surprised by the small refrigerator and no microwave but staff told us where we could use a microwave so that worked out. Just not as convenient however we discovered the food in the garden area and all was well. The upgrades you have made are beautiful

Stayed over night with our grandkids for something to do and they loved it! The glamping pocket for 4 was very clean and comfortable. We all loved the campsite view of the West Canada creek, and the activities for the kids were cute. The pool was great, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again!

My family has been coming here for over 40 years and we love it! However - the poison ivy NEEDS to be taken care of below cabins 77 & 78! - for as much as we pay, the cabins should be better taken care of & cleaned more - another playground would be nice, with a baby swing too - booking online is a pain when booking with a big group like we have. Please allow big groups to book in the store ag

I've been coming to KOA since 1969. At one point our family had 57 members camping there one time it was always during the 4th now that we get together it might be 15 we're still enjoy the river. My mother is 86 and my uncle is 91 this year was probably their last year of staying. Every year that we come we tell everyone how much fun we've had here over the years thank you again Herkimer KOA.

Awesome time! Enjoyed arts & crafts with Olivia. Thank you! Tubing down the creek was fun. Finding diamonds on the bank of the creek -a real bonus. Maintenance came & fixed the door into the bathroom, replaced lightbulbs. Very helpful. Bunk beds were comfy. Pull out couch - not so much. Maybe not like sleeping on a bed of nails, but close!� Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would return in a minute

The KOA grounds are clean and well laid out. Our lodge was clean, comfortable and had a full kitchen which was very clean. We coordinated with extended family who stayed in their pop ups, tents, and lodges. We had so much fun during the week of July 4th! The dance party at the garden was fun. The kids enjoyed the t-shirt the dye event. It was fun to go tubing. The staff were friendly.

Our cabin SL2, when we arrived had sand and dirt in all the corners, it looked clean but to the touch it was dirty; space for a microwave but it wasn't there; space for a larger fridge but it was small; hook up for a TV in the bedroom, but no TV; blinds on the doors didn't work; the sheets were stained; remotes needed batteries; no nice wine glasses; HORRIBLE MATTRESSES Beautiful outdoors

The mines were more fun then I thought they would be. It was really hot and I got sunburned, but I also found a few sparkles. Once you start finding some you are motivated to stick around. The glamping pods were really nice by the water. The dry cabins are a bit in the sun and I wish they would get some trees planted over there.

My fiancé & I rented a mountainside glamping pod which was not up to good standards. The cabin was dirty. It needed to be swept & mopped along with the linens needing to be replaced. Thankfully we brought our own. The windows on the doors had no frosting on them so you could see directly into our pod. We made our own makeshift curtain out of a blanket we had brought. I was disappointed.

The grounds were nice, and so was the atmosphere. The staff was super friendly, and seemed eager to help with any questions we had. However, there was no AC in our cabins as advertised, and this lead to things like medication melting together it got so hot. Most of the women's showers weren't working, and the food vendors weren't open as advertised. The main restaurant was closed for repairs.

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
