Herkimer Diamond Mines, Herkimer

This is by far the best KOA we have stayed at. Lots of things to do for the kids and adults. A river, that you can float down, runs alongside. There are mines to look for diamonds. There are so many cool “cabins” to stay in. The people we met were friendly, other campers and employees alike. There were fun themed activities like a luau, pavilion movies, including many fun educational ones as well. One employee there, named Harold, was so kind and helpful. We felt very welcome to be there. We are coming back, at the very least, once a year.

This is an amazing geological location to visit! We all had fun digging for real Herkimer diamonds, and the experience of tring something new! The gift shops were exquisite with much to look at, as well with the learning center! They also have a swimming pool (when in season), and a playground for the kids. (all season)👍 The cabin we stayed in was cozy, and the staff was friendly.

If I could give this place 6 stars. I would!!! This place is absolutely well manicured and so clean!! The staff was friendly, we met Harold as we were packing up and the pride and ownership he takes in his work is phenomenal!! Such a great person to meet! We visited the pool and walked down near the river!! There is so many things to do with the kids there! We met people that lived only 20-25 minutes away come for a recharge! We stayed in Cabin 4 a no frills cabin. But linens were included and the bed was made!! It also had a minifridge and small tv!

This is my all-time favorite place to camp. We have so much fun. Very clean, very well kept ,nice clientele. The workers are so friendly and accommodating. I highly, highly recommend this campsite.

Great fun for my whole family! We will be back for sure! Not only was it a one of a kind experience but the staff was very helpful and friendly! Who knew such a cool place was in UNY!
