Herkimer Diamond KOA Resort

This KOA renewed our faith in KOAs. Campground (CG) was easy to find and check in was easy. We were then escorted to FHU back-in site 69 with 30 AMP. We received a 5% military discount as retired veterans. Our escort helped us back in and we were ready to enjoy our overnight stay. We were in one of the sites along the river and since it was mid October there were not many campers in the CG. Our closest neighbor was five sites down where the 50 AMP hookups were. The four 50 AMP river sites were filled. Since the weather was cool, we didn’t need 50 AMP and would rather have the site separation as the river sites from 50 AMP down through tent sites were very close together. The 50/30 AMP were laid so that every other one is back-in for trailers and pull in for motor coaches to take advantage of the river view. That would mean some very cozy fires with your neighbor. There were premium tent or popup sites along the river with gas BBQs. There were plenty of amenities here (explore their website) to include a nice campground store and themed cabins. The WiFi and cable TV worked very well. We received 3 bars on Verizon and 2 on AT&T. There’s a convenience store that served ice cream right up the road in Middleville with gas and reasonably priced dieselWe would definitely stay here again, but not during peak season as we are not into crowds and kids.

We were surprised at how tight each space was at this site. Beautiful river views but no space or privacy between us and our neighbors. Difficulty backing trailer into site because it was narrow and fence made it hard to maneuver. Facilities are clean and convenient. Minimum of 8 miles drive to groceries and restaurants. We only stayed one night on our travels Would not go back because we prefer more privacy and space.

No ATT or Verizon coverage.
