The glamping cabin was perfect for a couple’s getaway weekend. The ac was very much appreciated, as it was 90+ both days we were there. What a well kept campground. We’ll be back.

It was awesome. The only problem was there was a weird pile of insect eggs on top of the shower.

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.

We stayed in cabin k16 and the cleaning station behind the restroom near us has extremely hot water. You should have a sign that states it's VERY HOT so children will not scalt their hands..yes, it's that Hot...Other than that our stay was great

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.

Thank you for another wonderful stay! The campgrounds are beautiful and the facilities are some of the best and cleanest I have experienced at a KOA. The additions and improvements to the grounds since my last stay are phenomenal. I can’t wait to come back next year.

When I arrived a family on golf carts pointed and laughed at me and yelled "look out for the Chinese woman driver!" I was mortified and my daughter was with me. I was on edge the entire time. Your staff were great otherwise.

Had so much fun. The bathrooms are clean and the whole camp was safe as so many staff check the entire ground every few minutes throughout the night.
Jun 29, 2025
Friendly helpful staff, clean cabin but 3 stars because: showers not operating in our bathhouse (not notified), clogged shower in other, Garden Grill opened hour late, Scoops was out of hot fudge and large cups, pool FREEZING not heated, wasp nests under umbrellas in Garden, inefficient check in (store checkout customers waiting behind lengthy check ins), cabin overrun w Earwigs (in all our bags).

My son and I loved our stay here. The cabin in the miner’s village was perfect for us. We had a lot of fun all weekend and plan to make this a yearly trip. Every staff member was genuinely kind and helpful.
Jun 28, 2025
It was a beautiful experience. The creek was easily accessible to my cabin which made my stay much more relaxing. Our cabin had all the necessary things that were needed for the trip. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
Jun 28, 2025
Cabin sites were very close together. Our bed broke in the very early morning, 5:45. We text and called the after hours number and never received a response. We had to wait until the campstore opened at 8 & the only only response was to say sorry. Definitely lacking in customer service. But the bathrooms were clean!

Stayed in the new "Pod" area. The staff was friendly and helpful. The accommodations were nice. I was very surprised at how good the private bathrooms were. The mini fridge was actually a good size with a good size freezer. The only issues we had was the door didn't latch properly so we had to work it and the privacy overlay on the window fell off. Also, the firewood bundle was pretty skimpy.

The sites are tiny. We had to park so far back in our site we couldn’t hardly hook up to water since our slide out would have hit the camper next to us slide out. Thank goodness we didn’t have anyone on the other side of us or we would’ve been so smooshed in idk what we would have done. We lost power in a storm & the electric melted our plug even with our gfi plug on. Some screwy electric th

Stayed in a Deluxe Cabin at Herkimer Diamond KOA to and from a road trip out east. Stayed on a weekend and a week day. The cabins were extremely clean and the staff was super friendly upon check in and check out. "The Garden" area is beautiful and has food available on the weekend. We have already recommended this place to others.

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.
