Despite bad weather, we had a memorable stay at this KOA campground thanks to excellent service from manager Josh. The campground has lots of amenities, including an outdoor gas fireplace, big fire pit, gazebo with mosquito net, activities for children/adults, and a clean laundry facility. The services provided by the camp crew were amazing.

Friendly staff, clean bathroom, but showers need a remodeling - not what I expected in a KOA.

Everything was wonderful! Facilities were clean and well-stocked. Camping sites were spacious and beautiful. Hot showers... We will be back!

Everything was lovely. The bathrooms were a little far from our site but clean

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).

It was great

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!

expensive for what we got. my campsite was too close to the road and was on a slope. not my best camping nights! but the washrooms were clean and services good

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!

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.

We are so glad that you had a wonderful time. A popular option is to use our 'Select My Site' feature either online or by calling. This allows you to lock in your favorite site for a $25 fee. Thank you so much for your patience with us. Continued improvements are on the way!

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
Jul 31, 2023
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 ���

Very nice cabins and bathrooms. Old location was great with easy access to Ausable river but still nice for new location. Tried having firewood left at cabin since checking in late and sent email day prior to arrival and left VM which neither were replied to.

One of best service we experienced...our staying didn't have luck with weather but we had memorable stay. Few campsites were in slope, it would have been better if we called and asked for more details of the campground. However, it was not that bad, bathrooms/showers were close enough and well maintained...there were drinking water taps. Like all KOAs they had lots of amenities, like outdoor gas fireplace, big fire pit, gazebo with mosquito net, activities for childer/adults. Laundry is available and clean. Service was excellent, we had bad weather but the manager was able to help us with extra accommodations. Josh was the manager who made our night easier and more comfortable. ##long_live_JOSH. Thank You. 🙏We all appreciate everything that he did for us.🙏
