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.

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.

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.

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.

Problem with site. Rectified quickly. Disappointed with limited internet. Nice for dogs. Nice place overall.

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.

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.

The camp was clean, well organized and quiet except for some highway noise. The showers were nice. Lots of families. Dinner at the lodge across the freeway was very good but there are few other dining options. We used this campground to access the Lost Coast NCA. Other options in the area that would work well for this purpose are the fairgrounds in Ferndale and the Humbolt Redwoods State Park.

Clean bathrooms and friendly staff

The sites were okay and relatively clean with the exception of chalk drawings all over the concrete slab. That should have been cleaned off before the next guest. The fact that started you charge for WiFi makes us want to find a different place to stay. No other campground charges for this. Why bother having a golf course if you’re unable to maintain it?

Campground was clean. Staff was not rude, but not friendly.

Very nice place with all the amenities. A bit pricy. We just stayed one night.

Don went over and beyond making sure he was doing everything possible for us to have a nice stay. However the golf course is not in good shape and the check in process was very slow. Seems like Don was the only person who was really trying to make sure guests got what they needed. Everyone else seems to have a “not my job” attitude.

There were 20 or more teenagers on the playground screaming profanities until past midnight. I called the “Night Manager” multiple times with no answer. After a restless night sleep I told the man behind the counter about our problem. He just stared at me blinking slowly like he couldn’t be bothered. After a long silence he looked at me and shrugged said “…ok…sorry?”. Absolutely terr

I would not recommend this KOA. It is run down, the grass is dead, the cabins were not very clean and the campground was not allowed to run the splash zone for kids on a hot day. The pool was too cold. A one night stay is ok but to stay any longer is a waste of money.

It was a short stay before getting home. Very relaxing stay, we have vacationed here few times now and the service is great. We will be back very soon. Thanks Benbow KOA

stayed their many times. its always a good spot. the office people are very nice.

Nice location. Sites dusty, but I’ll attribute that to the drought. Grass was dead. Decent laundry room. Bathrooms were why I give this KOA a low rating. The ventilation only worked when someone was in there and it smelled moldy. Floors and showers looked like they had done had a good cleaning in ages. The shower was really moldy. Pool looked nice although we left early and did t use it.

Unfortunately it was not what we expected from a KOA experience. The staff was very nice and friendly but the overall campground was lacking in activities. The playground was rundown, the pool was cold, there was no snack bar or casual food option and the overall experience left us underwhelmed. We ended up cutting our trip short and going somewhere else. It did not live up to the KOA name.

Spent 4 days at the Benbow KOA. This place is clean and the staff is so kind and helpful. My family and I had the best time.

Easy in and out!

3rd time there and planning to go there again - clean, accessible, plenty of space - good stop if you traveling between Oregon and California

We were disappointed as this was advertised as a KOA Holiday. Activities were scarce-no movie, no BINGO-things that were on the website when booked. In addition, staff gave us differing answers when it came to activities (one told me that there was no community campfire...I asked another and found out where the campfire pit was but was told that we would need to take care of the fire ourselves).

We love the large campsites and redwoods at Benbow-- we had workers from hotel/campground living in a cabin by us, and they played music and partied on porch until three am, It was also disappointing that the movie night and bingo were on website, but did not actually happen (my guess is website was out of date). The metal vent pole by our hookups actually fell over...be careful!

Beautiful grounds, pleasant staff, we loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at Benbow KOA, very relaxing, enjoyed the pool.

The a/c where running continuously the whole time we were there and no one where staying in them. What a waste of money. Other than that It was a good stay.

We were in a premium space and the table was dirty, cigarette butts, and even dog poo in our spot. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I asked one of the workers to please at least clean the table, but he said they were to busy. Enough said. I cleaned it myself, you know, covid and all.

Had a nice stay in a 20' travel trailer. Nice and close to the redwoods. The staff were kind and attentive.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for visiting. So glad you enjoyed your time with us and visiting the ancient Redwoods along Avenue of the Giants! Hope you can visit again. :)

This RV park is in bad need of repair. The sites are not level, the asphalt has badly eroded, the landscaping is not maintained and the roads need to be resurfaced. The golf course is all but forgotten. The rules are not enforced: saw several pit bulls in camp, campers did not necessarily clean up after their pets. Quiet time was not enforced.

Wi-fi was inaccessible at our site. Otherwise, it was great.

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!!!
