Tent Reviews

Spacious site with beautiful view of the river. Unfortunately we saw many people struggling with children in the river, which was very high and fast moving. There should be clear warnings posted about dangers of high water. Prices at the store were very high, and seemed to have gone up a lot since last year. Probably will not stay here again.

They campsite we were at was wonderful! Just a few complaints, I was surprised the deluxe tent site did not have water hook up. The pavilion bathroom has no hot water or toilet paper our entire stay despite us telling workers multiple time, and when we were told our ice would be delivered to our site it never was so we had to go back and get it ourselves. Other than that we had a great time

Really great, always come here. Always a good time. My only thing I have been hoping for the years I've been coming is some lighting along the road/pathways

Campsite was all gravel with dog droppings everywhere

Cons: The campsite flooded. The "make your own jewelry" station at the Diamond Mine was unexpectedly closed for the day. Pros: My kids loved the playgrounds and the lazy river, though I would've preferred a simple upgrade. One load of sand would've made getting into the water better than slogging through the mud. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Price was reasonable.

Everything was great. My only complaint is how far the bathrooms are from the tent spots and how there wasn’t a water spicket anywhere near the tent spots. We were at tent spot 100.

We had a nice, relaxing, peaceful time enjoying the outdoors while still having modern amenities available as needed. My family has been coming to the Herkimer KoA since I could barely walk and it is always a pleasure and a treat to be able to make it back out and see it in such good condition.

We had a great time! The river was fantastic for swimming, the kids rode their bikes everywhere, and of course we visited the diamond mines. Wonderful camp, clean bathrooms, helpful little details everywhere like a dish washing station, fire pits with grates for grilling over the fire, electricity and water.

I was on a tent site on the creek and I loved it. Great view with your meals, and the creek is nice to listen to. I didn't go to the mines this time, but I had a great time rock-hunting in the creek, and just enjoying the area. Bit of advice: bring your own firewood, or be prepared to buy it. You won't be able to scrounge it. I hadn't been here in a long time, and it's really been improved.

We love the Herkimer KOA. I will say though that the reason we always come here Memorial Day weekend is for the activities. This year there was only one staffer working the activities whorl no fault of her own was very stressed and there were very few activities compared to other years. However the sites are beautiful and we always have a great time!

Excellent stay as always. Facilities are clean, but if there were shower heads with hand held sprayers and a better drain system for the pre-shower area floor - that would be helpful. I’d like to be able to have a better area to walk on prior to and after a shower. Water shows are ok, but if there was a way to clean the area before each use it would make things feel cleaner

The most important part of tent camping is the bathroms. And they were below standard. They are so far away from the tent site to get to. Then, when you get there, there is only one shower stall and 2 toilets. For the 30ish tent sites! The last straw was when those few toilets, very far away, were then out of order for the second half of our stay. I have 4 little kids and that was torture.

Great facility, the scouts had a blast. It was unfortunate that some guests did not treat the restrooms with more respect but that isn't anyone at KOA's fault.

Boy Scout program was fabulous - love the use of different learning styles, the pace of the day, and the time of recognition

Grounds were great, staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue is the quiet hours are not enforced. I feel when we check in staff needs to remind campers of the quiet hours. Also remind those with diesel trucks to be respectful of others and not let them idles for extended periods of time.

This was our 2nd stay and it was perfect again! All staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond. The grounds are clean and the restrooms some of the cleanest!

The location is amazing. Herkimer diamond mines are right across the street. This place had so many family friendly activities. There are lots of food options. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and accommodating. They offer to go the distance even if you don't ask. The river was freezing but definitely an experience for tubing. The "garden" is clean and cute with plenty of seating. A unique airstream bar/food truck and a camper that serves icecream. The pool area is nice. I would like to congratulate the management and staff at this KOA. Great job and nicely done! I hope we can make it back again for a stay here!
