I was beyond disappointed with our stay. After a long day of driving, we arrived to our cabin and it was about 90 degrees inside and humid. We almost didn’t find the AC hidden behind the table and it took about 6 hours to cool the bedroom down because there was no fan or AC in it. If you need smaller than a large, don’t plan on getting a souvenir shirt or sweatshirt either. Worst experience ev

We had crews cutting trees, chipping them. With chips all over our vehicles and in the air. Very noisy

This campground was great! Everything was clean and well kept. The beautiful grounds, cabins, pool, store, and public areas. Lots of things to do, and the creek was awesome. The windmill lodge had all the kitchenware we needed and a nice big deck with plenty of seating. The only thing I would change would be the fold out couch. That mattress was very uncomfortable, but all the other beds were nice

Overpriced for the condition of the lodges. I stayed in Bluebird #17. Toilet was not clean. I took a picture and showed it to Becca. Dirt in the corners of the baseboards. $25 for early check-in. Charging for more than one car when the unit sleeps 6. All money grabs. Marriott prices for Motel 6 condition. Use of the amenities should be covered by the high rates.

We always have a nice time because the KOA accommodates our entire family reunion. HOWEVER, the sleeper cabins are extremely hot. Something needs to be done to lower the temps in those ovens! Air conditioning? Maybe a ceiling fan? The prices are high for a cabin with no bathroom, running water or AC. Making them more comfortable would help!

always have fun, people friendly place to. I stay in a lodge#78 @ koa Herkimer for the past 10+ years for our family reunion. It's old,unkept. Cleaning is poor. For the $ price I pay I wonder what do yo do with all of it? The fees so ridiculous, it makes on feel like you don't much care. We are a very large group, location and logistics inside the park work, so we return for that feature yearly

After 40 plus years camping at Herkimer, the cabin we stayed in (#77) was run down and the broken wooden deck that broke last year had not been properly repaired a year later. The Roku for the TV was missing. The staff was great (especially Jamie) who assisted us in finding a lost necklace. For $300 a night, every cabin should be properly equipped (missing can opener & bowls). Hope it gets better.

This is a great campground. The property is beautifully maintained the staff are great and there is something for everyone there. I had a wonderful stay in one of your cabins.

Fees for everything! Considering how much we paid for a bug infested “glamp” pod, we arrived at 2:15 pm and though the space was ready a $25 fee was requested for early check in. Mining costs $19/ per person, premium up charge for Fri/Sat/Sun. There is also a late check out fee of $25. On site amenities shut down by 8 pm. I will not be returning to this site.

I stayed 8 years ago. With my son. We came back for his 21st birthday. You have made some amazing improvements in the campground. The stay was wonderful. My son an my nephew who also came 8 years ago kept raving about it. They are already planning another trip next year.

The way that cabins are listed online is entirely deceiving and we didn’t get the type of cabin we deserved. While the manager was sympathetic there was no other cabin available. We spent a lot of money for something not adequate for our family and I’m really disheartened by it. We have very little desire to ever return here. The food truck was phenomenal however. Kudos to them.
Jul 25, 2025
The Deluxe cabin had everything listed in it's description, cabin and linens were clean, new appliances. Had a handicap cabin w/ bunk beds and futon which is odd setup. Campground is clean and updated. Have visited the Herkimer Mine over 10+ years. Cons: On site food or beverages was lack luster at best and requires review, especially when traveling with families. Overall enjoyable visit.

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.

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

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.
