Campground Reviews

Aug 22, 2020
Facilities were satisfactory and the staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the premium spaces as well as most standard spaces were all dead lawns, sticker weeds and dirt. Don’t even think about golfing. The course is a dead weed patch. Yep even the Ts, fare ways, and greens. Sorry to see such decline to the park and course. I hope the owners will invest in saving these beautiful grounds

Unfortunately, we have been hit with irrigation problems 2 years in a row. Last year we lost the well and this year the new watering system was under too much pressure and blew out the irrigation underground. We have been and will continue to work on it to make it better for our guests.

Staff very friendly and there to help with any of your needs.

We love Benbow KOA. Neil and his staff are amazing and that’s why we keep coming back. You always see the staff working so hard and they are so polite to all the guests. Krissy, Dean, Winston, Roberto and Icsley are unbelievable! Neil is doing a wonderful job with his staff and getting the golf course back to the way it was several years ago. Thanks for the awesome work Benbow KOA!

This was our first KOA stop on our RV adventure and we loved the campground! Our site was really nice, we appreciated the table, chairs and lawn to hangout on. Definitely recommend reserving a Premium site. Huge shoutout to the staff here, they were beyond helpful and really friendly. Thanks again!

We are thrilled to be a part of your RV adventure and we hope the rest of the trip goes just as well.

We appreciate the safety precautions put in place at this time especially for the pool area. There was a lot of room to social distance from other campers which we appreciated. The garbage was overflowing so that could have been improved.

Our stay was great we used it as home base to see redwoods and drive out to Shelter cove and lost coast beaches.

Friendly staff and clean campsites.

I was with the clamper search group. We had a great time and would definitely go back.

Nice KOA even with the Covid-19 limitations. Who new that we would book our weekend during a state wide heat wave. It was disappointing that the grass was dead on the premium site I booked and paid a premium price for specifically for a green grass area.

It was very nice.

Organizing a weekend outing for a group of 100 is no easy task. The Benbow KOA and the staff made me look like a hero. Thank you

Our pleasure! Hope to see you all again.

Didn’t feel that the measures for the COVID were being taken very seriously. Several times I walked into the office and employees had their masks off. Also campers were coming into the office without masks and employees said nothing. The pool seemed kind of crowded as well.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We will review the mask procedures with our staff. It is a risk for all to be out and about with COVID but we are disinfecting regularly and keeping up with our county's health recommendations. Thank you for staying with us.

Great visit with family!

I traveled with my four dogs. I loved the set up with the large lawn at the perimeter of the RV sites. Other than the extremely hot weather which I did not anticipate this weekend ( a heatwave ), I would have arrived earlier . My dogs were uncomfortable on the trip up to Benbow from the Bayarea, and climbing temperatures sent us back home early. Oh well, next time...

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Please do come again. We would love to have you and your dogs in some milder weather.

The employees that work at the Benbow KOA are fantastic. They work extra hard to provide a great experience for everyone. Note: Robert is wonderful!

Wish they would have separated us more. it was a nice, clean park with nice staff but they stacked us side by side. I would return it was nice.
Aug 12, 2020
We really enjoyed Krissy from the front office and pool. She really enjoys her job and it shows! The manager Neil was also really nice and took time to talk with us when we crossed paths. We understand there is a significant irrigation issue which is out of the hands of the KOA. Other than missing green when playing the challenging golf course, this didn't bother us. Cabins were great!

Excellent staff. Very friendly and attentive. Premises were well maintained and kept clean. Golf course is in rough shape, so if that's the reason you are coming here, bear that in mind. We brought our clubs but decided to pass. All in all, I rate this place highly due to the staff and the premises in general. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Love this KOA. Hate to leave. The people are so nice and the camp is clean. Kids love to ride bikes, swim in pool and river. Love the heat.

Very nice camp ground. We stayed in space 79 and unfortunately the highway noise was pretty loud so if we stay again i would want to be further away from the Hwy 101.

fine site / well maintained / close to the river / but road noise was a bit of an issue

I rented a cabin, it was great for the kids. But the cabin was not clean enough, dishes were all piled up in dishwasher and floor inside was broken. It was too expensive for what we got, I have to say. Very basic for $200/night

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

With COVID, we put all dishes in the dishwasher and run them on a sanitizing wash then leave them so the next guest is the next person to touch them so that was purposeful. We will check on the floor but we do have procedures to ensure disinfecting and cleaning are done properly.

A great stay. I would stay again for sure. The 2 cons were that the WiFi didn’t work well & the bathrooms are dated. That makes the bathrooms feel like they were not clean.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us! The back bathrooms have been remodeled but not the front ones yet. Next time, ask for a site closer to the back bathrooms.

Love this KOA, the people are so friendly and accommodating. The manager Neil is awesome. He makes sure everyone is having a good time and any problems he makes sure they are resolved. We have taken advantage of all this KOA has to offer. The golf course is ruff due to lack of water but we still enjoy playing we are not serious we just like to have fun. They take the covid-19 precautions serious.

Thank you for staying with us! We are glad you enjoyed your time here.

We planned to golf but choose not to. Apparently they have gone without irrigation for over 2 months. The coarse looked terrible. Sites were also very dry with brown grass. Office staff was excellent! We didn’t reserve a premium site but I would recommend paying the extra cost and getting one. Good KOA for staying while traveling just off Hwy 101. As a destination not much for seniors to enjo

The first time we stayed @ Benbow was 8 yrs ago prior to KOA. We returned in Aug. 2020 & was surprised the ground up keep needed some attention as well as bathroom/shower (front facility). Because our travel trailer doesn't have a bathroom, we used KOA bathroom/shower daily. I can say the cleaning needs improvement. Great memory on our 1st visit.This time around it didn't feel the same. It was ok.

But some of the tree limbs need cut back for the class a’s.

Love Benbow KOA! Had a great time! Everyone very nice and other campers considerate. Many kids were wearing masks for COVID precautions which was great! Very relaxing for my family.

Facility has gone down hill. Grass at the sites was dead. Not as clean as it was. Garbage recepticals were over flowing.
Aug 08, 2020
Over priced, could stayed at motel 6 for less!
Aug 08, 2020
This is always a good place to stay. Close proximity to the Redwood Groves, river access. The management changed recently and we met some of the new team. Great people and the place was buzzing with activity upgrading the facility. The golf course has deteriorated from what it once was. The water system was broken, and repairs are being made with a plan to reseed and renovate. Cant wait to retur

Thank you for giving a review with a representation of what we are actually doing. We always want to do our best and try to present as best we can but challenges come up and we just keep working through it. Come back!

Just a so-so campground. Especially for the price. Expensive place to stay. It seems some staff stay in the cabins which is fine but, somebody had a pet bird that shrieked whenever somebody walked or rode their bike nearby. Also, I realize it is Humboldt County but it would be nice not to have to smell the marijuana in our campsite that is emitting from the cabins.

We had a great time. Easy access to the redwoods and surrounds. The Benbow inn is awesome and the food and staff at both the koa and inn were wonderful. Nice sties. Easy access. Thank you.

The staff in office was super helpful. Park itself is nice too. Only concern is the constant traffic noise from 101.

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!!!
