lack of water. everything is brown and dry. even the greens! TV cable didn't work. everything else was OK.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your understanding during drought season as we are forced to curtail watering. We help guests with cable TV connections but are at the mercy of the cable company for quality and service interruptions. We hope conditions beyond our control will not prevent guests from enjoying KOA camping.

Very dry and desolate conditions, based on lack of water in Mendocino county. Looked like bathrooms were locked and code needed, not provided at check in. Wifi was non functional, had to use my own cell phone hot spot. Stay was just ordinary, and sewer drains at sites were too tall to effectively use. OK for a brief stop, not for a long stay.

Disappointed

Excellent as usual! Love Benbow KOA!

It was good, but not excellent this trip. The cottage was okay, but blinds were broken and there was a chemical smell that took time to go away. Possibly it was a sanitizing smell which makes sense. The kitchen was not equipped as it usually is. THE POOL was dirty and I wonder if they chemical checked every night. We love it at Benbow KOA and hope our next visit will be a bit more comfortab

Koa was fine. Trip was not good due to high temperature in the area - not the fault of Koa.

Very nice and helpful employees! Would love to play golf, but the course is still in bad shape do to the drought conditions. Hopefully a wet winter will help this course prosper this spring of 2022!

Nice campground, wide grassy park-like center for games like volleyball or badminton. Nice hot showers.

We have been staying at the Benbow KOA off and on for several years. It's only about 1 1/2 hours from our home on the coast, and we like the location for weekend getaways. The management staff are friendly for the most part, and they seem to be trying to improve the campground, but they are obviously understaffed, and the place needs a lot of attention!

Your staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

Awesome place, however the skunks kept us trapped inside the RV for hours....lol.

One of the most relaxing stays I've ever experienced. Everyone was so friendly, staff and other campers were just great! I hope to be able to come back soon!

Could use a drip system instead of wasting water on dead grass
Aug 10, 2021
Staff was wonderful! Definitely wish the grass between each site was green because the dead grass tracked into trailer a lot. Also there should not be a charge for golf since it’s impossible to actually play a serious game due to brown grass & weeds. Overall we had a wonderful time & they are definitely trying to keep the place nice otherwise!

We always love staying at Benbow KOA… Although, there is still a fly problem and I didn’t see any fly traps in the tree this time. Otherwise the staff is friendly and we’re willing to come help us with a problem with our cable hook up. We will return as often as we can.

Our first night stop after picking up our new camper van. We wanted a familiar place to land and get to know our new rig. Weather perfect, staff great. Just what we were looking for.

I booked a cabin for my husband's birthday and we loved our stay. Loved how kid and pet-friendly everything was! Only problem, at no fault of the KOA or staff, as we had a riverside cabin with no water! We are already planning our next event there!

The personnel were great. The campground was ran down or not maintained.
Aug 09, 2021
Very nice camp ground. And everyone us very friendly
Aug 09, 2021
Clean, well groomed grounds. Pleasant stay, friendly staff.
Aug 09, 2021
Great place to stay! Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. We have already booked our next stay!

They were great to give us a site spur of the moment. Only complaint was out of 14 washers/dryers, 5 were out of order. And personal opinion, jacuzzi should be only for adults. Next to a nice restaurant, good food (don’t get Fish n Chips). A nice one-night stopover.

i am was very disappointed that I paid for a premium site #92 like in the picture above and the grass was not only all dead but most of the dirt was barren. For $80 I expected much better than that. I understand there is a drought but the few premium spaces should be watered. The rest of the facilities were very nice.

Nice spots. Clean pool. The arcade is small and outdated, but the kids still liked it. The Benbow Inn has great food. Close to Confusion Hill which was fun to visit. Good time all around.

Black water/Grey water is at the site, no separate dump site area.
Aug 07, 2021
We loved staying at Benbow KOA! Very friendly staff and lots to do in the area!
Aug 07, 2021
So sad to.spend money where the facility was nothing like the website. Please update your website! I heard they plan to start watering soon. We drove 7 hours most of our neighbors left for a better experience.

The family and I had a great time.

Not a great stay. Manager Justin was very rude. One of the cabin beds were all springs when this was told to Justin he said he couldn’t do anything. They had no ice the whole 100 degree weekend. The only staff that went above and beyond for use that gave stars to my rating were Irean and Don. They were great and helped make the trip a little better. They should manage they know customer service!

OK campground. Pool closed at 8pm in 100* weather, would have been nice to be able to use it in the evening. Person smoking at the pool, also don't think staying there... the campsites decent, very dry no grass due to drought so won't judge. Just seemed a bit run down. Golf course (if can be called that) was also brown and very dry (drought?). May try again in better times.

Quick overnight trip on our way to Oregon.

We enjoyed our stay at this KOA. The staff were friendly and the site was perfect for our 40 foot 5th wheel with all the hook ups working great. The weather was beautiful and the area is very scenic. We really enjoyed the ride up the 101 to get to Benbow and our stop in town for shopping.

My cabin was in better repair than my cabin last year. It was adequate in size, however my reservation said I had a small cook plate, and basic dishes but had neither. I had pots/pans….but nothing to cook ON. my menu plans were foiled. All said, we made due. The fridge was small but adequate.. and we took some of our food home to cook there. It was a very expensive midweek getaway.

Beautiful campground with lots of amenities. Bathroom however was not clean with a hair ball in the shower. Price ($85/night) was excessive

Good overnight stop for us. Have stayed there several times in route somewhere. RV spots need a little work, and grass needs water but with Covid and everything going on the last year, not in bad shape.
Aug 03, 2021
Not our cup of tea. The spots are SO close together. And the pool closes at 8? That's really early. Lobby smells like a smokers room too. Just not the best experience. To top it all off, I had to pay for 2 nights when I only needed 1 as a stop through on our way home.
Aug 02, 2021
We got a nice shady spot in the back of the park. I would recommend a bike if planning on trips to the pool because it's quite a way. Overall park was clean and we had a great stay.
Aug 01, 2021
Problem with site. Rectified quickly. Disappointed with limited internet. Nice for dogs. Nice place overall.
Aug 01, 2021
It was too bad that a water shortage caused the grass to die but glad we could stay this year. Last year our reservations were cancelled because they were evacuated for fire.
Aug 01, 2021
The sites are too close to each other and there aren’t enough trees or foliage for privacy. Hookups worked well. Unfortunately the temperatures were in the 100’s so very hard to enjoy the outdoors. It’s a beautiful area though.

The bathrooms in the back of the campground were not cleaned properly and half of them did not work. We expect KOA's to have higher standards like Missoula, MT. They were friendly, helpful, courteous!! Please take note of them. The pool was dirty and the hot tub did not work and was also dirty.

Awsome amenities.. Golf, hot tub, swimming pool and plenty of space.. Thank you. We'll see you again..

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!!!
