We walked, played golf, enjoyed the pool and spa, and enjoyed dinner at the benbow inn. It was a very restful getaway.

We had planned to stay one night on our long journey but decided to spend another day. The staff where super helpful, the facilities were great. We enjoyed the morning free coffee, the pool, hot tub and left totally refreshed. Tim and Lauren

This was my third visit to KOA Benbow, and always a treat. Easy check in, Immaculate grounds. Everything worked as it should. Luxurious hot tub after a long day of travel. Topped off the propane tanks on our way out. Great place!!

Disappointed that the hot tub was closed and also sad they gave us a site where the picnic had a big rotten hole. There were many other site available!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We understand your disappointment with the hot tub closure. We truly endeavor to have it open all year thank you

It would be nice if there were some bushes between sites to provide a bit more privacy. Overall, the campground was delightful and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hot tub was nice and hot.

Site was 30 amp which worked in the cool weather of Fall but would not have run our 50 amp rig in Summer. We were able to get a site without reservation, which we appreciate. The sewer is raised above ground, whichWo makes for a challenge to dump a motor home tank. Was reasonably quiet and that was a winning feature, but light sleepers should choose their site with care as to traffic noise.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your comments and are aware the freeway can generate some traffic noise. thank you

A lot of differed maintenance. Roads are in terrible shape, unsafe to drive or walk on, pot holes, cracks, etc. cabins need painting on the outside.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We always value the feedback from our patrons and endeavor to make the park safe for everyone. thank you

Nice KOA on the Eel River. Does not have all of the bells and whistles that many koa's have but it was clean, quiet, nicely spaced sites.

Short but great. Hot tub awesome after a ride down the coast to the redwoods. Close to nice grocery store in Garberville to restock. Will be back. Chard and Cab Wines from Benbow Inn sold at store. We recommend them.

Nice facility, friendly staff. The golf course, while not fancy, it is really fun to play, we have done it several times. We will go again for sure.

First time in a. Cabin great

Jen, Joyveda, and Sylus were very friendly. Jen helped us look up bike trails on the computer. Store was very well stocked with groceries, RV, necessities, and gifts. The campground, store, and bathrooms were all very clean. Our campsite was nice and quiet. We checked in after hours and were fortunate enough to get a spot without having a reservation. We would definitely come back here again.

Only issue we had is we paid extra for deluxe patio site and the one we were given was on main road directly across from garbage dumpster. So when you sit in the patio area we got to watch everyone throw away their trash. That site should not be listed as deluxe patio site

Great location for our coastal journey. We appreciate having pull-through site close to the front. The staff was very friendly and efficient, the store/pool/laundry/showers very tidy. The park is pretty tired looking, though. My bus driver commented on the pot holes in the which make the rig rock. Some serious updating is needed on the grounds, power washing the front entrance, cabins look sad.

It felt creepy here. We didn’t feel very safe here especially around the bathrooms. It’s a very dark campground

Extremely clean cabin. Very quiet, perfect location with easy river access. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I clean vacation rentals for work so I feel like I have high standards on how interiors should look and this place exceeded expectations.
Sep 25, 2023
Very run down and expensive
Sep 24, 2023
When I arrived I was asked if I needed to access laundry and showers I said no, not knowing that I would need access card for the toilet. There was no fire ring at my site, which WAS going to be our main cooking heat source. We were not expecting guests at all, and the front desk gave someone our site number, who then showed up unexpectedly. We were so miserable that we left early.

The host was good ,the reservation worked great. The site was a little rough and cable hook up was very poor. Area location was good. Showers were clean and maintained.

We were very happy Friday. Then Saturday came and we had to listen to children riding 4 wheelers around our cabin and my daughters camp for hours� they were without helmets at first. Then we’re told to put helmets on so they did. They mom just sat inside her cabin and wasn’t watching them at all. Beautiful place but not a place to relax!! We spent close to 600.00 for our stay to be disappoi

very friendly and helpful staff, but the campground is in need of an update. cabins are in need of paint jobs, some maintenance needed (burnt out bulb in laundromat making it rather dark at night, some trash around the dumpsters. The location is nice, but most of campground needs a face lift.

Trees need trimming. We hit several branches with our coach.
Sep 18, 2023
The Campground was great. Until the family with 4 wheelers showed up. Apparently you can ride 4 wheelers around the camp and annoy the other campers it's no big deal there. I could understand if there was a atv park but there isn't. Needless to say no one was happy in the back side of the Campground. We even heard people leaving early due to lack of courtesy by these campers and koa staff.

The camp ground was fine but Saturday the 16th there was a group of kids using the loop we were in for a race track for there ATVs this started before lunch and went on untill 9.00 pm until one of the campers went and confronted the mother who was sitting in the cabin watching tv. I know of at least 5camp sites that complained to the office there response was we made them put helmets we allow this

Short but sweet!
Sep 17, 2023
Staff friendly, Scenery beautiful. Bath/shower ok. Pool closed 1st day; temp over 90-disappointing. Laundry closed too. Still paid full rate. Dog walk area full of feces. Guests don’t do their part, but staff needs to address-park wasn’t at 20% capacity. Dog enclosure too small and poorly maintained. Lovely dinner at Inn but they ran out of my wife’s 1st choice for entree and dessert
Sep 17, 2023
It's dirty, rundown, poor customer service. Wild cats all over. Tables with rat poop all over them. Weeds knee high and overgrown dead landscaping. Looks like there has not been any funds reinvested in this place for years. Old smelly garbage bins & dog waste cans full to the top. Employees zip around on gas powered golf carts without noticing the decay and stench. Better camping up the road...
Sep 17, 2023
Old old facility, some site power hook-ups were badly damaged and not repaired.(Bent-have picture) Cat poop all over our site and staff had to clean. Pool+spa not avail due to damaged water pipe. Sites not wide enough for newest type slides. 20amp not avail at our site due to very low voltage (86Volts) had to run extension cord to the next site (unoccupied) very poorly maintained. Dirty (money?)

Very friendly welcome, staff is keen d and helpfully. My husband particularly enjoyed the water pressure in the showers.
Sep 14, 2023
Disappointed w/ our 8-day cabin stay. Shower: either super hot or super cold. When reported to front desk staff, it was insisted that the hot water takes some time to arrive. Wrong: faucet taps provided desired temps quickly. Knob finally replaced several days in. Kids' train: unavailable despite touted. Broken concrete: toddler nearly fell into hot BBQ grill. Kids bunks: converted laundry room.
Sep 14, 2023
Staff was pleasant and helpful. Grounds were in need of attention. Trees needed trimming, caused scratches to RV. Water leaks at faucets. Not as good as most KOA's.

We realized we needed an extra stop on our way to Oregon, so we stayed here just the one night. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's a beautiful campground, with spacious sites, and a sparkling clean bathhouse.

This place is beautiful. They have roses and orchids growing everywhere, and you can smell roses when the wind blows. There is river access, and they have a restaurant down the road. Pretty impressive store and a pool and playground. A big laundry room with a lot of machines too.
