Tent Reviews

We come every year for Memorial Day weekend. This year there seemed to be a lot of families that had issues tubing down the river. More signage helping people determine where to get out and keeping people clam would be helpful. Also the people staying in the last site next to splash ally were very rude to those of us that were playing in the river with out kids.

Had an amazing time with my family and friends this past weekend. A lot of activities for the kids and the lounge area for the adults was definitely nice. The creek tubing behind the campground was a welcomed amenity as well. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Only thing I wish we had was water at our tent sites as cleaning dishes would be easier. Definitely returning!

Our tent sites very roomy and close to other facilities. Fire rings on the ground and being able to walk to the Diamond Mines a plus. Variety of planned activities and other things to do like gaga ball, disc golf, etc were great for kids. Little difficult to find water spigot for filling water coolers. Store ran out of pain relievers. Wish car parking was closer to tent sites for convenience

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bath houses were very clean. The store was stocked with everything you would need for tent camping or RV camping.

What a splendid visit! Josh was especially helpful and a joy to chat with! People like him really make KOAs super friendly and keep us coming back! The facilities were clean and well supplied. Can't wait to come back when the fishing is on!

Very clean, hot showers but tent camping sites are stacked on top of each other and made our stay uncomfortable. Dan across the street at the miners' village was very kind and helpful. We probably won't camp again but would visit Dan and the diamond mine.

We only stayed for one night and didn’t really get to experience much hardly any of the activities but the creek looked amazing and the grounds, as well as our site were very clean. We checked in late but finding our packet with directions to our site was very easy. Overall a great experience! Highly recommend.

I loved how close our site was to the restroom/shower, And close to the dog area as well. It was nice and quiet. I definitely would love to come back in the warmer months!

THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAMPGROUND THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE WATER AND THE TREES IN THE FALL ARE BREATHTAKING. THERE WERE SO MANY ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE. THE SITTING AREA WITH THE GAMES AND FOOD "TRUCKS" WERE AWESOME. THE CAMPGROUND WAS CLEAN, THE STAFF WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AND THE SETTING WAS UNPARALLELED.

Our stay was perfect, after swapping sites a few times in order to accommodate our hammock tent, we found the perfect spot. It was peaceful with the water running and fire crackling. We come back once a year. WiFi doesn’t work when you’re at tent 95 but only downfall is we couldn’t listen to music. I enjoyed being disconnected for the night.

I stayed in my tent. But it was awesome hadn't camped out I'm so many years. I bought back memories of when I would go camping with family. I would definitely come back to Herkimer in the near future.

We came to stay celebrating our 15th anniversary, we booked our trip way ahead of time, we booked the deluxe River side camp site with power. We arrived at 6 Friday and got to our site and some one was in our site. The worker would not make him move out of our site. We ended up having to settle for a site with NO POWER! Which means we couldn't blow our Air mattress up or make coffee. Upsetting.

The good: deluxe tent sites, great staff, Saturday live music, kids’ activities The not-so-good: a pervasive small of kerosene or some other fuel was noticeable all weekend near the solar lodges and deluxe tent sites, super smoky, smoldering fire (wet wood?) at the s’more pit blew into my tent all night long, poison ivy all around tent site 97

Diamond mining across the street and a river for cooling off around the campground. Great for kids.

We enjoyed this stay a lot. When we first moved into the campsite, our neighbors were super friendly and the campsite was clean. On our last night, our new neighbors in site 100 were very rude when we accidentally were using the wrong electrical outlet. This would lend to some feedback to better mark which outlet belongs to which campsite.

We enjoyed the various activities available for children which was our primary reason for choosing this destination. However, for the cost of the accommodations, the tent sites are VERY close together. We had no privacy and could hear our neighbors late at night. In addition, people tubing down the creek would disembark and walk through our site. Bathrooms were not cleaned during our stay.

Everyone was very nice, helpful and professional. Campground are well maintained.

Loved it! There was a lot of activities for the kids to do. The campsite was very clean. I would suggest keeping the bathroom a little more cleanly. Particularly the one that was closest to our tent site T114. I would also recommend adding speed bumps has some cars go fast throughout the campground. Other than that our stay was phenomenal.

Very Busy KOA but many appreciated ammenities. The pool and outdoor play area (DJ party on Saturday night) were great. Showers were clean and staff was very helpful.

The game area next to the pool and ice cream shop were very nice. A couple things that could be better is 1. The showers. shower caddies would be very helpful in there. Also I like using handicap stalls when I’m showering my young kids with detachable shower heads, and that was not offered at this resort. 2. I was playing giant checkers with my son, and the pieces were broken.

It was fun, goodly maintain. Although my campsite (101) was partially submerged. Still had a blast and do more fireworks!!! And the food at the trailer is the bomb..

Young people at the checkin counter were so helpful. One thing that was disappointing--no coffee as promised. �

We enjoyed our stay. Grounds were very clean, and staff was very friendly. We had to unfortunately cut our stay short by a day due to our tent leaking rainwater, but we will be back. Wish campers received a discount at the diamond mine.

This was our first time at a KOA resort, possibly our last. The price was too much for camping. I could get a hotel for the price that I spent on a tent site there. I understand there are a lot of activities and amenities available, but I don't think it justifies the rate. Was probably not worth it for our family, unfortunately. Even the diamond dig was more than other competitors in the area.

Our site (T99) was perfect for us. We really liked it. The site was mostly clean when we arrived. The staff were friendly and mostly helpful. We do feel that the premium sites need some more signage on the creek side to keep people from using them as pathways; on the last day of our stay, people repeatedly walked through our site instead of using the Splash Alley exit.

Great stay although only 1 bathroom for all tent sites and day camp? I thought that was the main amenity we were paying for.
Jul 26, 2023
Absolutely beautiful. However it’s a long walk to the bathroom at three AM from the tent sites to the bathrooms with a baby.
Jul 24, 2023
Easy check in/out, nice faculty with a variety of sites although most are overly close to adjacent site(s) and offer little privacy. Riverfront location and access is a huge plus.

Our stay was great , the people are very friendly and helpful, the only down fall of our stay was leaving so some We will be back often

One of the coolest places you could bring your family around here. Spend a day at the diamond mines or a few nights at the campground. Fishing, tubing, beers, lots of options. Head up to their sister company "Gems Along the Mohawk" for a historical cruise along the Erie Canal, with a working demonstration of the Lock system.

Very well kept and beautiful grounds. Staff were very nice and accommodating with adding nights to our stay. Shockingly quiet given proximity to the road. Almost every site has a grand view of the West Canada Creek. The garden area is absolutely stunning. The only cons were: -there were QR codes everywhere for food and drink but as of 5/30 they're not actually open -there's no set up in the small store for coffee or tea as other koas have had (just nice to take a walk and grab coffee) -several sites down ppl had brought 4 cats they let roam free and then got upset if dogs barked at them-I love cats but they should be leashed. All in all I would absolutely stay here again as it truly is a hidden gem. The Diamond mines being across the street was a nice surprise as well. There's a perfect stairway and area to cross to get to the Diamond mines as well.
