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!
Apr 13, 2026
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.
Oct 28, 2025
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!
Oct 21, 2025
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)!
Oct 21, 2025
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!
Oct 19, 2025
Beautiful, peaceful and gorgeous during the Fall which is when we were there. New mountainside sites tidy, beautifully landscaped with shrubs, florals and grass and just splendid with the pond in the distance - lovely touch with the Canadian Geese floating atop every day. Also, plenty of room on Site #207 for our 42 ft fifth wheel and 21 ft RAM truck. Bathrooms were a con - dirty & unkept.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, fall colors, and spacious site. We apologize for the condition of the bathrooms and will address this with our team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.

We stayed in the newer Mountainside camping area. The sites are large enough for a big rig. We did need to use our Anderson levelers to raise one side of the RV as the site was not level. We did use 4 wheel drive to help us get up the long steep hill getting into the campground with our 42ft 5th wheel. It rained for 2 days and there was NO pooling of water on the site or on the roads.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us! We are glad the site worked well for your rig and held up great in the rain. We appreciate your notes about the hill and leveling, very helpful! We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon.

Very clean, diamond mine was awesome

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Craig, thanks so much! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the clean surroundings and had a great time at the diamond mine. Hope you found something shiny and that we get to see you again soon!

Our site was difficult to set up in. It was not level. The left side slopes down. Next year we will request site 16. It looked easier to set up on. Everything else was great.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the helpful feedback, Robert! We are sorry your site was tough to level but glad to hear everything else was great. Site 16 is a good choice, we will do our best to get you set up there next time. Looking forward to having you back!

Staff was courteous and helpful. Tom in maintenance was a lifesaver when our leveling jacks stuck in completely raised any help manually override the system and raise the jacks. The dryers didn’t dry clothes and we had to leave with wet clothes. The campsite was beautiful next to the west Canada Creek. Bathroom floors and showers were dirty.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad Tom was able to help, he is a rockstar! We are sorry about the dryers and bathroom conditions. We appreciate you letting us know and will work on improving. Happy you enjoyed the creekside site!

It was great. the team there is so friendly and helpful. I had a issue with my motor home, and Curtis came over spent some time figuring out what was wrong, he knew it was a valve that was not turned on, however could not find it. no one would have imagined the manufacturer hid the valve under the bed, under the platform in a panel.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing! We are happy to know our team could help, even with that tricky hidden valve. Curtis is a pro at problem solving, and we are glad he could assist. Happy your stay was still great despite the hiccup! We look forward to welcoming you back any time!

Pricey weekend, Kids were disappointed.Not organized with events.Bingo started late and was only 20 mins not an hour. Dirt and worms definitely was not as expected handed 2 cookies, 2 gummy worms and had to wait for them to make a store run to DG for pudding because they ran out after a few kids. Bowls to mix them would've been nice. 5.00 sand art ran out of sand. Jewelry making by mine not open.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Apologies to you and your children, Al. We were not at our best and are sorry the weekend did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is really helpful, and we will work on improving these details so future visits go more smoothly. We hope you will give us another chance sometime soon.
Oct 14, 2025
We found the placement of hook-ups at several sites challenging, with some requiring campers to run connections underneath their units. Hook-ups located in the far-left corner don’t seem to suit either pull-in or back-in setups. Also, many trees were planted directly where canopies or slide-outs would go, which made setup difficult. To be truly accommodating, KOA should consider addressing these

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Anna, thanks for the detailed feedback! We hear you on the hookup placements and tree locations. Setup should be smooth, not tricky. We will share your suggestions with the team as we look for ways to make sites more accommodating for all campers. We hope to be a part of your next camping adventure!

The kids loved the crafts. Everything you need is on site. Quote and everyone was friendly/helpful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Yay! Megan, so glad the kids had a blast with the crafts and that everything was convenient for you. Our team loves hearing that their helpfulness made a difference. We cannot wait to welcome you back for more camping fun!

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.
