It was good but the facilities could certainly be improved. Some suggestions: - Better wifi - Better cleaning of homes. Lot of dead insects - Liquid bottle soap instead of bar soap. Will lead to cleaner to keep bathrooms - A few utensils in the kitchen. - USB chargers next to the beds

This was a beautiful campsite. We absolutely loved it. Super friendly staff. Wonderfully well maintained grounds. They made sure most amenities were good to go, during covid, by doing it properly and having enough staff. Absolutely loved this place.

This was a perfect Covid vacation for me. I felt very safe and happy in the cabin with the big back deck overlooking the river. I did wonder why there were not any cooking utensils. This is cabin number 46 and the bed is turned around so the part where the headboard goes is sticking out and I hurt my ankle on that.

I really like this KOA, even though it seems to always be full this year it is kept clean and the staff is great. Very good with the social distancing. My family feels safe using all the amenities. The golf course is in need of the TLC but I understand they will be redoing the course next to month. I look forward to our next stay at this this KOA.

Really nice facilities and extremely family oriented. Since I don’t have children, it was unnerving to have kids play in their bikes and electric scooters day and night. But the sites were grassy and had a great shade tree. Will recommend to friends with children.

We were in Site 414. We loved it. We had a lot of room to ourselves. It's wonderful that you are so close to the Benbow Inn. We had a lovely time eating there once night and having drinks on the terrace the other night. Everyone, working there, was respectful regarding the wearing of their facemasks. Thank you!

So glad you enjoyed your stay!

The room is a trailer divided into 3 rooms. Way too tiny. A branch overhung and was in the way of the entry stairs. Campers are packed in like sardines. No place to park.
Sep 25, 2020
Facilities were first rate and kept clean and safe. Staff were friendly.

Stayed three nights and have stayed here in the past. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Other campers were friendly and respectful of the environment. Nobody had external music playing and nobody was talking loud enough to be heard elsewhere. The golf course needs major tending, but I also understand the irrigation system was defunct, causing poor course. We will be back. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you again.

Mostly great. A little weird having people set up their tents just below our patio but I guess that comes with the territory of a KOA. We've stayed there multiple times and will probably continue to, although the price seems a little steep.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying and coming back. Please be sure to let us know when you are here if there is any way we can make your stay better.

Just one night, but obviously it shows care. Appears to have some long term residents in some cabins, which gives it a more neighborhood feeling. Wifi was very poor, but there was a disclaimer about that.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. Due to the ruralness of the area we are in, we do have employee housing on site for people working at the KOA and the Benbow Historic Inn.

stayed 4 nights and really enjoyed our visit.

Really nice and clean.

I DID NOT stay at your site and sent you an email in July cancelling the reservation as our flight to San Francisco was cancelled due to the Covid-19 problem. RV rental was cancelled so we DIDN'T stay. I am STILL awaiting refund of my payment to you. Please ensure this is repaid to my Credit Card as I cancelled well within the KOA Cancellation Policy. Unimpressed! All other KOAs have refunded.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very sorry for the confusion. The refund has been issued.
Sep 23, 2020
Would have liked to know in advance we had to bring our own fire pit

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Fire pits are not listed as an amenity in our sites but it is always better if we communicate that when you book. We do allow them.

We just stopped in for a quick overnight arriving after dark, and the accommodations were very nice with a pull through full hookup site. If we are back in the area we would definitely stay again.
Sep 22, 2020
It was nice to get away from the smoke. The area is great for exploration. There are trails for walking/hiking located nearby, and a nice drive to the black sand beaches in Shelter Cove. Pool was relaxing and the trailer pull throughs had, trees, grass, and cement pad. Will stay here again.

Great having you! See you again soon.

We always wanted to come here and enjoyed spending the extra night with our KOA gift of a free night. A very good family-based KOA.
Sep 21, 2020
Clean courteous and enjoyable even during a pandemic. Took common sense precautions but still allow people to be human and enjoy their time camping. Facilities were spotless. Staff were always friendly
Sep 21, 2020
Stayed there 7 nights this time and it was awsome! The grounds are beautiful, staff is friendly and weather is perfect!
Sep 21, 2020
We've stayed at Benbow KOA many times. The staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, there are problems with the campground itself. There are no firepits or barbeques at any of the sites, except the premium sites. The latches in the bathrooms. I have found that other KOA campgrounds offer firepits, ect. plus working bathrooms.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are looking into the bathroom stalls immediately. There is no reason guests should not have a safe, secure restroom. It is true that we don't have fire pits in all sites. We do not list them as an amenity at our campground but will consider it for future.

So much fun. The general store needs to be updated and stocked though. That’s the only thing that is lacking in the koa.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Since COVID, it is harder to have reliable deliveries but we will keep trying to keep the store stocked. Hope to see you again.

Why are you sending me this in Spanish? I don’t speak Spanish. As far as the koa goes. You really need to have them remove the fact that they have a golf course. We went there to play golf. It is 100% the worst golf course (if you can even call it that) I’ve ever played. No care or maintenance whatsoever. Staff is great and facility is nice. Too many full time residents there tho.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I'm sorry you were disappointed. It is true, we had irrigation problems with the course and by the time it was fixed it was too hot to bring the grass back. We will work on it this fall and be ready for next season.

Very pleasant campground with golf course, pool, cabins, dog run . Walking to historic inn.
Sep 18, 2020
Nice location near the Avenue of the Giants redwoods as well as the road leading to Shelter Cove. Campground was clean. Wi Fi was less than Wonderful.
Sep 18, 2020
Grass was all dead. Sprinklers don’t work. Not kepted up. Nice couple that checked us in.
Sep 17, 2020
It was really nice and location is great.
Sep 16, 2020
We’ll be back
Sep 15, 2020
Beautiful little oasis of a campground. Friendly staff. Only wish they could have given us a spot not surrounded by other RVs, given how few people were staying there at the time.
Sep 15, 2020
Staff very friendly and helpful. Stayed here years ago when it was a good Sam Park and the campground an golf course was in pristine condition. It is not the same now. The golf course is in bad condition with unplayable greens. The lawn areas in the park are mostly dead and had to trim a tree to park My RV without scratching it. Inside the facilities were clean and orderly.
Sep 14, 2020
They did an exceptional job making us comfortable during a fire evacuation. Much appreciated!

The people at the desk need to understand RV’s the spot they gave me I could not get in so I had to stay in another spot. I have stayed in a lot Of nice parks this park does not warrant $82.00 a night I would never stay there again.
Sep 12, 2020
Very clean. Friendly staff & very caring during the emergency evacuation. I will be back to enjoy the redwoods.
Sep 12, 2020
Clean and very nice people ...Thanks guys

Nice park; however, we got stranded there after being turned around at the Willits fire. Everything was smoky and covered in ash – not their fault. But we did not really get to enjoy the park because of that. Also – it was extremely expensive - $69. They have also charged me an additional $5, for what I don’t know. I now have to call and dispute that when I return from my vacation

Well, we had planned on a 3 nights stay in a deluxe cabin but there were fires all around us. The Deluxe cabin was clean and cute but the fires were getting closer so we left the next day.The staff was very helpful and courteous but we needed to leave.A few hours later , I Believe the area was evacuated. We received our refund and hope to try this again sometime.
Sep 10, 2020
Great stay, I just would like to have seen green lawn in our VIP site, it was dead.
Sep 10, 2020
Another great stay on Labor Day Weekend. The entire staff continue to be very friendly and helpful every time. We had a little power outage at our space. I went to the office for assistance. They had the Maintenance Man at my space within 5 minutes. Power was restored cause was undetermined. Fast Action by the Employees was AWESOME! We will be returning again. We found the perfect spot for our RV.
Sep 10, 2020
Enjoyed three days with my family in Benbow. Pool and campground was clean, and the staff was friendly. River was low, but there were some nice areas close by to swim, and fish in the river.
Sep 10, 2020
My wife and stayed at the KOA Benbow RV park from September 4th thru September 7th. The park was full except for perhaps a couple spots. While I really like our stay, if did have some issues with the park management controlling the "quite"time 10pm to 8am... The sire next to us partied every nite untill 11:30 to past midnight,and the KOA Night manager never said anything. Otherwise, it was good
Sep 10, 2020
Unique
We stayed at Benbow back in May and really enjoyed our stay. At this stay, over Labor Day weekend, most of the grass areas were dead or very brown. Also there were several sites in the RV section that had tents set up when we were told tents were only allowed in the tent sites. There were also many people who had their dogs off leash, wandering into other sites, and owners not cleaning up poop.
Sep 09, 2020
The campsites were roomy, and plenty of them. All the staff was helpful and courteous. They have a good size kid water park but unfortunately due to stupid Covid it was not available at the time we went. We went Labor Day weekend and it was around 105°, luckily the pool was 55° so it evened out. Great place to stay with friends.

This place is very nice. If you are a tourist traveling threw take my word as a local for 44 years. This is one of the best RV parks around this area. And it's central for all the cool stuff around. It is always clean and the grounds are always very well kept. On the east side of the park is a nice golf course (as long as we are not in a drought and they can water properly) on the west side of park is a beautiful river. Plus they have walking paths all over as well. I would highly recommend this park for just you or the hole family.

This was our second trip to this location and it won't be our last. The staff is so friendly and the property is so clean. Make sure to check out the hand made bennies and jewelry. I highly recommend this KOA!!!
