Very pleasant stay, good location and all facilities and staff very nice. Not the most scenic location but next to golf and fantastic restaurant at beautiful historic Benbow inn within 5 min walk.

We love Benbow KOA! We’ve been here many times and it’s always our choice place for the fall with the beautiful colors. Also love the convenience of the walkway under the freeway to the Benbow Inn for a break from camping food and a chance to enjoy a wonderful dinner.

Love the trees all over and they keep the grounds nice. Seems like some people live onsite year round and are a little sketchy looking. The flies at our site were so bad we couldn't sit outside during the day. It was disgusting and disappointing. At night the flies were gone. Loved the golf course right there. Great pool and activities. Manager not friendly. Seems like all KOA managers are rude.

Been going there for over twenty years. keep up the good work. P.S. golf course needs a lot of attention.

The people who lived in the cabins were playing their music so loud and the smell of marijuana was evident outside of the cabin. We paid extra for our dogs, not sure why. The dog park was pitiful and the clean up bags weren’t even put in the dispenser just sitting on top.

The grounds and sites are nice, made for a good weekend getaway. The area is beautiful! No reflection on KOA, but unfortunately the river wasn’t quite as expected. I should have done my homework.

Always love our stay at Benbow KOA, however this time there seemed to be many loud kids and adults during quiet hours, shame on the adults who should know better, but was not a peaceful camping experience for us, was happy to leave and go to the Humboldt State Park , Burlington where is nice and peaceful.

only problem is traffic noise from Hwy 101 or else i would give it 5 stars for service, cleanliness, and well kept grounds.

Wonderful stay and super staff.

There was very poor internet and even when we purchased a third party internet, it did not work. Need a booster if important to patron. Office said they would send someone to take a look and they never showed. Only there two days, so it didn’t matter too much. Place was clean. Some traffic noise from 101.

Quiet campground. Sites are tight for a 43’ rig. Easy access to Redwood National Park

the park was not as well kept as the last time we stayed. the hose connection leaked the entire time. someone was speeding through the park after dark on a ATV which woke me up several times, also there were barking dogs late at night. it appears that many of the cabins are now occupied by long term residents, plants on the decks growing, several cars that looked non operable. very dissatisfied

It was very relaxing. Friendly, helpful staff.

Great staff!

Nice grounds but very noisy. Highway traffic can be too loud unless you run the ac or fan all night. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Oct 06, 2020
We have been coming here for many years seems run down and the golf course is a mess.
Oct 06, 2020
Just an overnight stay. Clean restrooms, easy freeway access, Would stay again

Very clean, very friendly office personnel, but loud partying after hours!

We had a delightful time at Benbow. Oh the redwoods Avenue of the Giants!

Staying there again tonight but asked fir a quieter site for this stay.

There is nothing special about the Benbow KOA. For the location the daily rate is too high. Also to say that you have WiFi is an exaggeration. About half the time the WiFi doesn't work at all and when it does work it only at about 50kbs which is like in the old dialup days. The least you could do is to install an satellite based system for your customers. The bathrooms and showers were okay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am very sorry if our staff did not inform you of the satellite service. Our local wifi service is free but when there are a lot of devices connected it is very slow and limited. But, we do have a satellite provider who will allow a direct connection for our guests at the rate of $5 per GB.

The golf course needs help, and if I had to rate it, it would be a 1, but the campground and the restrooms and showers were clean. We would stay there again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Please do come again as we are working on the golf course and hope to have it back in action by spring 2021.

Everyone was very nice & helpful. Grounds were clean. Bathrooms & showers were clean.

This is KOA is clean. There is more space between RV's the other KOA's we have been at. There are more trees and vegetation that makes this a pleasant place to stay. This KOA has a less hectic busy feeling.

WiFi bad very tight getting into site. Site not level. Sewer and power pedestal not conveniently located

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I'm sorry the site wasn't what you expected. We do have an older park and the roads are narrow for big RV's to navigate.

The front desk was very friendly. The weather was perfect! Overall, great place to stay and relax with family.
Sep 28, 2020
This KOA has a very nice vibe to it. Beautiful setting, lots of trees around and in the campground. Very clean and COVID safe bathroom. Nicely laid out so it doesn’t feel crowded, even when full. Will definitely be back.
Sep 28, 2020
Very happy. Stayed here many times this summer and were never disappointed. Staff was especially great.

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.
Sep 28, 2020
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.

Thank you for staying. Please be sure to let us know if other guests over step their parameters. We want all guests to enjoy their stay whether they have children or not.

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!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad you enjoyed your stay!

Facilities were first rate and kept clean and safe. Staff were friendly.
Sep 24, 2020
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.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

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

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.

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.

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!!!
