We stayed on the mountainside campsite. They were for spacious and very quite setting. Have a very nice fishing pond . Will definitely be back again for another camping trip here. All the staff was very friendly and helpful with things on the area to do. Thanks again

We love our sites but after 22 years, we did not make reservations for next year. The price per night, fees and activity costs are not family friendly anymore. The campground has gone from welcoming family feel to commercial give me your money feel. We know change is essential but usually it goes the positive direction, the lack of campers should show you that did not happen. Go back to pre-covid!

Amazing for children! Loved all the activities- even though the weather did not cooperate.

We were there for only one night, this time, but we will definitely stay longer when we are in this area again. It is a beautiful setting and everything is well maintained. There is a great 'trees' house, a main central outdoor gathering place with comfy seating, manicured lawn, colorful flowers. All to be enjoyed. We are full time in our RV. What a privilege this stay was.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad your night with us left such a strong impression. The peaceful setting, outdoor spaces, and friendly team are things we take pride in. We would be happy to welcome you back for a longer stay!

Would be nice to have hot water in the showers. At the resort prices, that should be a given.

Great campground. Please tell people to get off exit 30 instead of exit 29A from I90. Much better route.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Appreciate you sharing this. It is great to know you enjoyed the campground, and your note about the better exit route is truly helpful. We value your feedback and would be glad to welcome you back again.

I’ve stayed in site 65 for the past four years, same weekend each year, usually book six to eight months in advance. Our group books a total of 11 other sites, including 3 cabins. This is the first year of the “lock it in”. Several of our friends were moved from one site to another, including me that lost my site. This new policy is nothing more than a money grab, to add an additional cost.

We stayed for opening weekend from May 1–3 and had such a great experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure everyone enjoys their stay. A special shoutout to the manager at the diamond mine, who was amazing so patient, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer all of our question

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are grateful for your thoughtful feedback. It is wonderful to hear how friendly and helpful the team was, and the shoutout for the diamond mine manager means a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we hope to welcome you again soon!

Clean, beautiful campground. Stayed in site 85 on the river. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back!! Only complaint is only one handicap shower with only one grab bar, and no hand held shower head.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed the clean and beautiful river site and that our staff was helpful. We appreciate your note about the handicap shower and will review it as we continue improving the park.

Great place. Neat clean, friendly staff and beautiful scenery. Been there several times. I would definitely would recommend this place 10 times over. Mining right across the street. Herkimer is a lovely place to go to.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoy visiting. The clean grounds, friendly staff, and beautiful scenery mean a lot to us, and we are glad the mining adds to the fun. Thank you for recommending the area so highly. We loved having you and hope to welcome you back again soon!

River roaring on one side, diamond mine on the other side, who could ask for more.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The mix of the river on one side and the diamond mine on the other really does make for a special stay. We are glad you enjoyed the setting and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We look forward to welcoming you again!

Very early in the season so there were only a handful of other campers but the campground was very clean and well kept. Some of facilities (ice cream camper and food camper) were not yet open, but again season just beginning. The campground store was open and well stocked with camping needs and souvenirs. Again, all very clean and well organized.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It is great to hear you enjoyed the peaceful early season atmosphere and found the grounds clean and well kept. We are glad the store had what you needed, and we appreciate your understanding as other areas open for the season. We hope to see you again!

Stayed with 4 year old grandson and think we found our new favorite place and thing to do. We had the best time digging for diamonds right across the street! Campground was lovely and can’t wait to go back when everything is opened up.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

What a fun memory to share. It is great that you and your grandson had such a good time digging for diamonds and enjoying the campground. We would love to welcome you both back when everything is open again.

The creek was really nice to hear. Bathrooms need better fans to remove the humidity. Otherwise, a great experience.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The sound of the creek must have made your stay feel really peaceful. Thank you for mentioning the bathroom fans as well, that kind of feedback helps a lot. I am glad the rest of your experience was great, and we would be happy to welcome you back.
Apr 14, 2026
Great experience overall. The site was clean and easy to connect to. The staff was very friendly and helpful both before our stay and during. We camped up on the hill and it’s very windy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the great review. We are thrilled you enjoyed the clean site, easy setup, and friendly staff. The hill can be windy, but we are glad you still had a wonderful stay. We look forward to welcoming you back!

The site itself was great, funtional with a river view. Great location near mines. However, womens room was out of order. The other womens and mens restrooms had no hot water for showers and weak water pressure. Soap dispensers and PT rolls were out of order in a couple of locations. For opening weekend of the diamond mines, and $188 for 2 nights, they seemed unprepared and unkept.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed the site, river view, and proximity to the mines. Your feedback about the restroom conditions during opening weekend is appreciated and helps us improve for future guests.

Beautiful week despite the cold. Some heat in the bathrooms would have been nice but we coped!!! Thanks. We’ll be back. Very nice campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words! We are glad that you enjoyed your week and found our campground very nice. We appreciate your feedback about the bathroom heat and will keep it in mind. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We love it there but it is very pricey. I think being it was "off season" the price should be less. Our site was full of dirt, no fire pit, had to grab it from the stie next to us. The place is under construction and it is quite messy.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Dianna. We are glad you love visiting, and we understand your concerns about pricing and site conditions during the off season and construction. Your comments are helpful as we work to improve the guest experience. Please come stay with us again!
Oct 28, 2025
Beginning at the website it was very disappointing and outrageous. For $25. I could be sure I would have a pull-through at the original site. I used to be able to just say I wanted to be there. I told the woman who registered us and since I was right there and she had a site she offered it to us without the fee. Since your rates went up we usually stay at West Canada Creek.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback, Carol. We are sorry the website and fee were disappointing, but glad our staff could help with your site. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back to Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA in the future.
Oct 28, 2025
We were not happy with our stay this year. There were no amenities available yet the price for the stay is the same. Miners Table closed, Cafe closed, food truck closed. Even the dog park was zip tied closed. Other than the hook-ups, it was like we just parked the motorhome. We understand that it is towards the end of their season. But if that is the case, rates should be adjusted to reflect it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback, Anthony. We are sorry your stay did not meet expectations and understand your concerns about the limited amenities. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we work on improving the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back again next season.

Our last camping weekend for the season. Had a great site on the creek. Very nice well kept campground with many amenities available to campers. Would imagine it’s very busy during the summer. Looking forward to returning next year. Staff were friendly and helpful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the wonderful review,Lisa! We are glad you enjoyed your creekside site and found the campground well kept with plenty of amenities. Our team will be happy to hear your kind words. Yes, please come stay with us again next season at Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA! The creek will be waiting!

We used this park for a stopover on the way home to Niagara and discovered one of the most beautiful parks we have ever been in. Great sites, beautiful lazy river/Creek, the diamond mines were an added bonus!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are delighted that you discovered the beauty of our park during your stopover. It is wonderful that you enjoyed the sites, the peaceful river, and the nearby diamond mines. Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you again on your next trip.

Friendly and helpful staff, special shout out to Harold, Denise, and Mo! Hope all the Scouts had a great time as well. Wonderful sites up on the Mountainside.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad you enjoyed your stay and those mountainside views! We will be sure to pass along the kind words to the team! They are pretty awesome! Scout weekend is one of our favorites! We hope your scouts made some great memories and will come camp with us again soon!

Very nice campground, well maintained, friendly staff, beautiful scenery, scenic river behind our campsite. Very relaxing. The mining area was interesting.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed the peaceful vibes, beautiful scenery, and that scenic river right behind your site ... it really is a special spot to unwind. And how cool that you explored the mining area too! Hope your next visit is just as relaxing (if not more)!

We have been staying at this campground since the early 80s but the price per night is getting out of hand.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks so much for being such a long time guest, Lawrence! We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years. We understand that rising costs can be frustrating, we do our best to keep rates fair while continuing to maintain and improve the park so you can keep enjoying it for years to come.

This was a fantastic weekend. Beautiful weather and the scout merit badge program is a great way for scouts to earn these badges!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad you had a fantastic weekend, and perfect weather to top it off! It is always great seeing Scouts in action, and we are thrilled the merit badge program helped them earn those badges! Here is to more adventures, badges, and amazing campouts at Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA!

Enjoyed our stay with a back-in along the creek. Our second visit here and enjoyed the location once again. Just wish the cafe was open this time.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad you came back for round two! There is just something special about those creekside sites ... glad you got to soak it in again. We hear you on the cafe. We wish it had been open too! Until next time, your spot by the creek will be waiting!
Oct 21, 2025
Campground is beautiful. Facilities are clean and staff are friendly. Being mid October I understand that certain things will not be available such as the pool. However, I was hoping that all other amenities would be open and available which they were not. Also, it would be nice if all of the KOA’s would stay open year round. There are a lot of people that really enjoy winter camping

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate your understanding about seasonal closures and hear you on keeping more amenities open late in the season. Winter camping is definitely special, and your feedback helps us plan ahead. Hope to see you again soon!

Bathroom is in need of some cleaning

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry the bathroom did not meet expectations. That is definitely not the standard we aim for. We have passed this along to our team so we can make sure everything is fresh and clean for our guests. We hope to welcome you back soon!

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
