Tent Reviews

It was my first time at a KOA and I was very impressed! Loved the text communications about activities and check in/out. Staff was friendly, facilities were excellent, and our tent site was beautiful. Looking forward to the next KOA stay!

Sadly after 17 years of camping at the old Whiteface Mtn KOA the new campground is an extreme disappointment and does not compare even in the slightest to the old location. I am very very disappointed. The sites are rocky and uneven, no space to park a truck and the bathrooms are TERRIBLE! The worst campground showers I have ever experienced. Clearly the showers were not renovated prior to opening

Convenient to plenty of hiking spots. All KOA staff were friendly and buildings were well maintained. Disappointed in the litter seen on sites upon arrival. Spent some time picking up small pieces of plastic trash and broken glass! If you look off your site chances are you find more trash (glass bottles and plastic zip lock bags).

tranquilité et intimité tout est très beau et très propre par contre assez dispendieux

In its current state this Koa is less functional. My tent was really far from the closest bathroom. Tent sites are weird with very slopy driveways. The amenities are not on par with other koa campgrounds. Hopefully this location will eventually build up to be as good as the previous one was.

Je suis une habituée de ce terrain de camping qui était autrefois le North Pole campground. Je l'adorais pour son côté rustique (majoritairement des sites avec tente) et le service jusqu'à 20h-21h. Il ne reste très peu de site avec tente et ceux-ci sont loin des sanitaires. Le site est très bien entretenu, propre et le personnel est courtois. Mais je m'y sens beaucoup moins en nature qu'a

The facility was clean, tent sites were very nice and some were nice and secluded in the back. Gift shop was lovely. Staff very kind and helpful. Trails in the back and plenty to check out in the area!! Great little base camp for all kinds of adventures.

Campsite was great.Good privacy, quiet hours followed, showers worked,clean restrooms. All the good things come to an end when it comes to the wifi.I called them to specifically ask about wifi and I was assured they have strong wifi even at the campsite.Thats a LIE! It only works near the office, zero signal at the campsites.T-mobile has spotty LTE. Please dont stay here if you need wifi.

My whole campsite was sloping. The flattest area on the whole site (which was not flat at all) - had a giant pointy rock protruding from the ground. Despite trying different spots around the site, we were unable to find a flat spot for our 6 month old baby to sleep. As a result, he was rolling all night which is poses a potential suffocation hazard. My wife and I did not sleep at all.

Une vue splendide, propre, bien entretenu, plein de commodités, près des pistes et avec une clientèle respectueuse et sympathique. J'ai adoré et j'y retournerai.

The stay was good overall. The only negative was a very, very noisy large group of campers playing music and carelessly partying well into the early morning hours. There were no patrols from KOA staff to monitor noise, and there was no apparent way to alert KOA staff via SMS, etc. It would be highly recommended to have KOA staff do evening patrols for noise, especially with groups on weekends.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for the noisy campers. While our texting line is not monitored after 5pm, there is a number on your map for after-hours emergencies or noise complaints. We do monitor that number at all hours. We are so sorry that you weren't made aware of this. We hope to see you again soon!

Very clean bathrooms and nice facilities. We always saw someone cleaning the bathrooms, which is great. We are typically not tent campers, so will probably rent a cabin next time. THose looked nice from the outside, but didn't get a chance to see inside. The location is perfect if you're hiking some high peaks. We took the trail straight from the campground to hike Whiteface/ Esther.

We miss the old KOA in Wilmington. This one had push button showers (not fun) and no pool which was a step down from the old KOA. It was quiet and restrooms were clean which we appreciated.
Aug 22, 2023
The campsite and the staff were extremely professional friendly and polite. Campsites were beautifully maintained. There are two things you may want to consider changing. 1. On the brochure it listed beach access, it wasn't explained that the beach access was not on property it's actually across the street it could be a little far if you don't have a car. 2. The shower heads only drizzle out wa

Thank you for your suggestions, and for choosing us for your camping trip. An entire remodel/upgrade on our bathhouses is on our wish list for the near future. We will look into the wording about beach access. Thank you again. We hope you come back soon!

This is nothing like the last location I thought I was going to be staying at very disappointing. Shame on you for the bait and switch.

Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Only criticism was the firewood was damp and some of the wood was rotting.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind comments about our staff. We are lucky to have them! We will look into that firewood issue. Thanks again.

There was a lot of garbage at my site when I arrived, took me about 20 minutes to clean everything up prior to being able to set up my tent. Other than that it was an okay stay!

Great location, everything was clean, and the late check in process was very helpful. Thank you!

We had a wonderful family time but were unhappy with the #25 site and the long walk to the bathroom. When we camped at the old KOA there were more available away from the main camp. The other campsite was perfect for our family. Missed a pool but the weather wasn't helping. We realize you are new and building so we may come back to check the KOA out. You were very helpful with messages. Thank you.

Our family had an amazing time camping. The kids had so much fun, clean washrooms, friendly and very helpful staff. Park was really well maintained and in a great location. We can’t wait to come back!

The tent sites are roomy, there is a lot of trees and shade. There was only 3 bathrooms near our campsite and each had a toilet and shower in the same stall. This is not ideal, if someone uses the shower, the toilets are unavailable for a while. They are cleaned multiple times a day. There is a beach just across the road. Overall a great camping.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for choosing us! New and more plentiful restrooms are at the top of our near-future upgrade list. Stay tuned for exciting things to come! We hope you can come back soon.

Missing the old location. The entire property smelled of septic during our whole stay. The playground had many unsafe items. The men’s showers were gross.

I am extremely disappointed with the price I paid for a campsite. It's after all a campsite, not a hotel with amenities.

Late check in was very easy, Bathrooms were clean. Great place to camp

Up front there were men's and women's bathrooms, and they were very clean which I appreciate. There were also women's showers in a separate room. (Not men's.) In the middle of the campground (where most people were) there were 3 bathrooms with a shower in each. One was closed. Men could only shower in the other 2 room/stalls, leaving those bathrooms always full. 30+ min waits for a bathroom!!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so sorry for the confusion. There is an additional shower room for men around the corner from the women's shower room. We will be sure to order some more signage for this area. Thank you for staying with us!

The KOA is in a great location. Clean and with spacious sites, friendly staff. We had quite a bit of privacy. The only issue was the amount of bathrooms. If you are towards the rear of the campground there were only 2 toilets and each had showers in them. There was a lot of waiting and frustration from the campers. Please solve this problem. A dedicated toilet would be very useful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Larger and upgraded restroom facilities are at the top of our future wish list. Thank you for being patient with us. We can't wait to show you our upgrade plans as they become available.

Had a great stay, place was clean, the staff was wonderful. Only issue was that site 30 had a horrible sewer smell that would come and go, and several times we noted the fire pit would fill up with water, drain, and fill up again. This was not during rain storms. I know it sounds strange, but that's what happened. I suspect it is sewage. Check that fire ring everyday and see/smell for yourself.

WhiteFace MTN. KOA is friendly, clean and accommodating - everything a camper might need for a fun, relaxing time in nature. Thank you.

Great site, and very large. Stayed for the Ironman and would come back
Jul 24, 2023
We loved our stay at the Lake Placid/Whiteface KOA! Our site was very clean and relatively private with lots of trees around. The common area with fire pits, corn hole and Adirondack chairs was so nice as well. We will definitely be back for another stay ���

Il manquait d'électricité dans le bâtiment de la laverie / toilettes et douches. Et personne pour rebrancher l'électricité sans accès au bâtiment principal qui ferme trop tôt (17h!). Donc on se retrouve dans le noir au milieu de sa douche et le linge en cours de lavage peut rester une heure bloqué dans les machines. Très désagréable. Reste du camping sympa, activité et emplaceme

Super clean bathrooms! So nice to have a dish washing sink which was unexpected. Very friendly and helpful staff. Firewood was delivered right away. I made the suggestion thT the fireplace be moved closer to the middle of the site near the picnic table rather than right next to the road.

We greatly enjoyed our time at the KOA campground. We like the setting because it's near the Wilmington town beach and a only a short walk to downtown Wilmington.

Field for campground are not flat and need a bet of more cleaning

I must admit that I was disappointed to see the former Whiteface KOA closed and moved 2 miles away. On the negative side, the pet area here is much smaller, almost worthless. There is also no pool. On the positive side, the staff is very good, the bathrooms and grounds spotless, and the property has access to lots of hiking and biking trails. You can walk to Wilmington Town Beach which I highly recommend! Some of the fastest WIFI I've ever had in a campground. Well stocked store. Fun weekend activities for families like Choo Choo train, tie dye, and smores. They pick up your trash at your campsite, and all RV sites have shade and decent spacing. Game room and large DVD Library. Laundry has newish machines, all working, and not over priced. By the end of our stay, we all agreed this KOA did not disappoint. We would be happy to come back.

First time staying here. Second time staying at a Wilmington area KOA. This location is a new acquisition. The one around the corner we stayed at last year was closed for a reconstruction. They plan on having having 3 KOAs there soon. This one was nice and small. Bathrooms were clean. The cabin we stayed in was neat and cozy. The staff was exceptionally polite and courteous.

Amazing camping, well located (close to many hiking trails, White face mountain and cycling routes). The staff was exceptionnal, so kind and helpful. They have a night check in installation to accomodate late arrivals. The tent spots are in a cute pine forest. Many shared space and nice facilities (BBQ, hammocs, laundry, games).
