Laura LaPorteWe spent the 4th of July holiday at the Herkimer KOA. We reserved a creekside site with full hook up. Check in service was very good and fast. We really liked our site. The weather was very hot and many families enjoyed tubing down the creek. Fun to watch! They had a full roster of activities. We went to lunch across the street at the diamond mine. Food was really good. They had a cute parade of bikes on the 4th and Duck race. They also were good about stopping people from using fireworks. Now for some friendly suggestions. They had a pool party with free popsicles and pool balls and floats. We just happen to use the pool during the party. They played popular music hits. The pool party only last 1 hour. When the hour was up, they cut the music and asked campers to return the pool balls/floats “so they could use them again next year”. So sad. Kids were having fun in the pool with the dollar store floats. Just thought that was so cheap and unnecessary. The ice cream trailer, “Scoops” has very limited hours. On the weekends it should be open all afternoon/early evening. And finally the women’s room was filthy. Backed up toilets. Please correct! Really nice campground but in need of some improvements that are key to the customers experience.

Vivian RosetoMe and my friend took her 9 yr old grandson here this past weekend. We stayed in a cozy cabin K16. Fresh linens provided, very clean, rustic, cute. This particular one did not have a bathroom but it was very close. Pretty, well maintained site with playground. Staff is FABULOUS and Phil gave our car a jump start as we were trying to leave with a dead battery. Outside of bathroom big sinks with Dawn soap/hot water to wash dishes. All the cabins and sites are beautiful and we had the mohawk to wade in a stone's throw! The shops are beautiful and he had fun in the mines. Not 1 piece of garbage, anywhere. I highly recommend this beautiful place, especially with a family. U can be in the thick of things or more secluded! JUST GO and see this 'GEM' of Upstate, NY!

Kim Smith⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had a fantastic family getaway at the Herkimer Diamond KOA! We stayed in a pod, which was cozy, clean, and a unique way to camp. The highlights of our trip were definitely the beautiful, relaxing creek and the incredible crystal mining experience across the street.The campground has an amazing gathering area that is perfect for families. We loved hanging out there to enjoy some ice cream and food. They have incredibly comfortable tables and chairs, plus fun games that kept everyone entertained. The grounds are spotless, the atmosphere is welcoming, and we will absolutely stay here again!

Melanie SnyderI have been coming here for years and never had an issue until this summer. I expect the KOA campground will have all of these accommodations within proximity to the amenities. However, this year we were told that we were staying at the mountain top cottages which are the farthest away and also fairly walking distance. Beware if you have children and you are making a reservation unless you pay an extra fee, you will risk staying in these cabins which are definitely nice but not appropriate for children in terms of distance from the amenities. Unfortunately, after this year, we will not be returning. Also over $1000 for three nights only to have to drive every time I want to take my kids swimming at the pool. Absolutely not…

Diana McNiffThis campground is a true GEM (yep, I said it!). In addition to the awesome family friendly mining experience, there were many other amenities and activities on site for families. The facilities and grounds were clean and well kept, and the staff were super friendly and helpful (massive thanks to Nancy for helping us locate and mail home a lost, beloved stuffie that we left behind!). So many lodging options to choose from to find what fits for you, and also very cool that you can do traditional camp cooing with fires on each site or go to the food truck for a night "off" if you want. The ice cream food truck was also a great treat! We would recommend this campground 100%! Thanks for helping make our mining-obsessed kiddo's dreams come true.
