Campground Reviews

Aug 30, 2026
We enjoyed our accommodations in the camping cabin and the many activities! One thing that I wish we had known sooner was how many of the activities we would have to have one of us stand outside with our dog for and that we couldn’t leave her in the cabin. I understand and agree with the rule however I wish that was communicated ahead of time like prior to booking and especially before check in.

Sites too small and close together. Patio was nice. Site fairly level.

We had one of the best camping trips at KOA. Our kids had a blast with all the activities.

Stay was great. It would help if you had an emergency refund like airlines. My son became ill we had to go to ED. Left 2 days early because he was instructed to return to Virginia for further care. He has chronic illness.

We had a great stay, nice amenities at the campsite. Friendly staff. Out site was right behind the basketball court, didnt like that there wasn't a fence to keep balls from coming into the tent site. Also didnt love the stones in the tent pad.

We loved everything there, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and spacious, the mattress was the only thing that was a little bit uncomfortable but other than that we loved it. And the cookies that were left in the cabin at check in were great!! The bathrooms and showers were very clean and bright.

The showers were clean and hot. Our group utilized the pools considerably. Overall stay was very nice.

A+ grounds with friendly, informative staff! There were plenty of activities, including indoor and outdoor pools, mini golf, and an indoor activity center. The food truck was perfect for easy dinner nights. The playground was fun, though not quite as “pirate ship” themed as our kids expected. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return!

It was a good stay as far as location. It is more of a family friendly experience. We are retired, so not as much a good fit. The sites are so close that I could have finished our neighbors sentence. But there is a lot of activities for families.

1. no happy warm greeting when entering to register. just what's your name and why are you here. shoved a multipage liability form at me and said sign it. I asked what happens if i don't want to - reservation cancelled and they keep all the money. 2. No escort to site - I have stayed at all levels of KOA's on the east coast. Holidays&Resorts all provided an escort. 3. No trash pickup

My family really loves staying at the KOA in Watkins. It's safe, fun, engaging, convenient, and clean. Even on a rainy day there is so much to do. One of our favorite activities is swimming, and we love that your pools are not chlorinated! This is a game changer for those who have not felt the difference.

What a Beautiful KOA, so so many friendly people to meet, great pools and a truly hot Hot tub. Food truck is definitely a plus on busy mornings or dinner time. Wonderful deluxe sites. We stayed in a wooden area due to having our two labs and we will definitely rebook. The KOA was so close to everything we needed including Watkins Glen state park a ton of delicious wineries so many natural falls,e

This was our second year booking at watkins glen koa and we absolutely love it! The cabins are so clean and cute. The pool area is so clean and the bathrooms are always pristine. The staff is super warm and welcoming. I love this koa and we look forward to booking again next year!

Easy check-in but the deluxe cabin was lackluster. The bathroom was covered in mold.

What a gem! My kids absolutely loved the indoor pool for an early spring visit. Great location. Grab a pizza from Jerlandos!

This is a favorite location for us, except for being in New York. I just wish they wouldn’t shut down the ENTIRE bath house when cleaning.

Very clean, friendly staff, and lots of activities to do. This KOA is close to a lot of things to see and do

We were greeted by warm and friendly staff at check-in. Also, Shane had tons of helpful insights that helped us plan our day trips. The cabin was clean and comfortable with a welcome note and cookies! The live music in the evening was a nice surprise too. Our kids loved all of the on-site activities. We had a wonderful experience!

The camp ground is very nice , clean Staff was nice. ONLY COMPLAINT we arrived early at the camp ground and were not able to check in until exactly 3 pm. We came from 7 hours away so we arrived 5 hours early and were told we have to wait to check in. Even went in at 2:50 and were told no had to wait until 3. We have never had this problem before. I would have even paid extra if I could .

Very friendly staff Clean room & facility Comfy and cozy Grill Pitt awesome set up Quite place, restful.

From the moment we arrived and checked in, my husband, 2 boys and I were greeted with friendly smiling faces and service. Check in was easy and went smooth. Our site was perfect for us and our smaller trailer, complete with a fire ring and picnic table that had a metal on the end which fit our small blackstone perfectly. All the facilities were kept very clean and stocked up, pools were great.

Our stay was so magical for the kids. We were able to ride bikes without the thought of cars hitting our little girls. The two problems that were out of our control were the amount of campsites situated in the tiny area we were staying in and the highway (414) being so close to our campground that we heard cars flying by at all times of the day.

Everything was nice except the internet. I would think at this price they could at least provide decent internet

Love the place

Check in and check out were seamless. We stayed in a cabin which was very clean and cozy! Loved the swing on the covered deck and the amount of room around the cabin site. There were many activities around the KOA to participate in and keep the kids busy!

Overall, a nice campground with grass and patios at RV sites. But sites are very close together, golf carts speed up and down the streets, and the wifi is variable.
Aug 24, 2026
A great time! Water slide and rock wall were highlights!! Our spot was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. Will definitely be coming back

Love that it's gated and very clean. A lot of things for kids to do. The patios at almost every camp is great! We will back again!

We love kids and dogs! This place is out of control with barking dogs no stop and kids with r/c cars on roads as well as driving golf carts recklessly. It's only a matter of time of time till a major accident occurs. I understand this is not koa in general. It's the client's. Security needs to be involved.

Our stay was wonderful. The office staff was very friendly and the cookies at check in were delicious

We had a wonderful stay at Watkins Glen/Corning KOA! The campground was clean, well-maintained, and beautiful, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the location—it was a perfect home base for exploring Watkins Glen, the Finger Lakes, and the surrounding area. We were traveling with our dog and found it very pet-friendly as well. We will definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful shady campsite, great location. HOWEVER - we were not informed when we checked in that our site was adjacent to the activities pavilion, where a huge party was held from 7-10pm, with extremely loud music, making it impossible to get our young child to sleep. When we raised this with staff, they were dismissive and rude. Terrible way to treat customers; we would not return here.

The place is wonderful! it's well maintained. The staff is plentiful and pleasant. They have the most modern and cleanest bathrooms I have seen thus far at a campground.

Everything was great except you need to do some water and mud management at site C17 and C18. More stones needed to keep mud off patio and around parking area. The mud became very slippery. My friend actually fell twice due to slippery mud.

Enjoyable camp site. Clean and friendly. Easy in and out with easy hookups.

We only stayed 1 night but the employees at check in were very nice. The cabin was very nice with everything we would need plus some delicious cookies left on the table as a welcome. We would definitely stay again and maybe a little longer to experience the resort a little more. We mainly just needed a place for 5 to sleep for the night.

First time at a KOA in 30 years. While I did not bring our RV, we rented a cabin. I was suprised how clean it was and the grounds around it. Rented a golf cart to check out the whole park and it is spread out. Indoor pool and hot tub were a bonus. We will definitely be back in the summer when the activities are in full swing... One more thing whoever makes the cookies that are placed in the cabin, was the best surprise
