We stayed 4 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The campground is exceptionally clean! We liked having the diamond mines right across the street, there were so many activities between the campground and the diamond mines, add to that the creek and you have a fun packed weekend! ( you can even tube and kayak in the creek!) The only suggestion... More

We returned to the KOA Herkimer for a second time last summer, because we liked it a lot: nice campground along a river, lots of trees...Unfortunately, the first night a huge branch of an old tree on our campsite fell on our van and destroyed the whole front part. We had to continue our road trip in a rental van,... More

During our two-month road trip in the United States we stayed at 26 different campgrounds and 15 other accommodations. The rating given to a campground is based on comparisons made between different campgrounds, not compared with other kind of accommodation. Out of 26, in total 23 of them were KOAs. We used campgrounds just for staying overnight and didn't take... More

Although our family has camped many times, this was our first stay at a KOA campground. The campground was well maintained and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We camped in a tent in one of the creekside sites. It was a very nice setting. Our children enjoyed tubing down the creek. The site we camped in was grassy... More

We spent 2 days/nights tent camping with a Cub Scout den. The boys are 10 years old and there were siblings who wer 8 and 12. All of the kids had a great time! The Herkamer Diamond Mines are across the street. The campground itself has a pool, a river you can tube in and a lot of organized activities.... More

We had an awesome time "camping" in the lodge which was perfect to give us the experience of the outdoors without bringing all the gear and sleeping on the ground. Kids loved tubbing in the creek! We plan to visit next year!!

This KOA is well deserved of all their awards!! Our family of four has the most amazing time at this place (kids 4 & 8). This is our second year and it was a great long weekend. The smallest cabin seems rustic enough to call it "camping", but cozy enough to enjoy a bed with porch swing, fire pit and... More

Beautiful creek. Lovely grassy sites. Suggest you ask for a site right on the water. We were in a pull through but should have requested one of the water view sites - the unserviced sites right at the end were especially nice and quiet. The 'diamond mining' is fun, hot, and rather pricey for the luzury of sweating in a... More

Just got back from the Herkimer KOA, we can't say enough about this place. Spotless for starters. This camp ground is such a family friendly place, we had 4 kids and ages range from 7 - 14, not once did we hear "I'm bored". From the cray fish races to the running the rapids our kids went none stop for... More
