We spend Easter weekend here. A lot quieter than we expected but we have had a lot of fun. My son had so much fun at the fish pound. We bought him a kids fishing rod a few years back and he never really got to use it much. We are not expert fishers so learners and he managed to catch a fish oh the excitement lol he also caught a big one but his rod was not strong enough. The area is beautiful two of the most beautiful ducks paid us a daily visit on our campsite and we had our coffee right next to the deer in the morning. The pool was cool but it did not bother my kids they got to warm up in the hot tub. I can't believe the negative reviews for this place it actually put me off coming a few times. We had a lovely time and we will come back. They have rail bikes close by too we have to come back just to give those a go. read more

Just got back from a two,night stay and had a great time. The area is beautiful and our rv site was perfect. It was quiet since it isn't peak season so that was a bonus. Sites are clean with a nice dog park close by. There is a small pond with cabins around it, a small general store and a cafe which is open during the busy season. We went to a nearby winery and did a tasting too. read more

Cloverdale/Healdsberg KOA, Cloverdale, CA - August 31 - Sept. 4, 2023 This is probably the most interesting KOA we've ever been to. Closer to Cloverdale than it is to Healdsberg, the park is several miles back from the 101 freeway, perched about halfway up the mountainside, with vineyards and multimillion dollar estates surrounding the property. In the summer, summer bridge across the Russian River will shave off a few miles of your way into the park; otherwise, you'll need to go to Cloverdale and then drive about 7 miles on a two-lane road east of the Russian River to reach the park, the last mile and a half of which is a climb up to the final destination. The park is quite large, comprising at least 15 acres. There is a main office, as you enter, with a pretty well stocked store. Supposedly, there is a cafe there, but we didn't see that. They have a propane refill station. They have a catch and release pond on the property that is very nice with a couple of docks and some adirondack chairs spread around the shore. There are about 175 sites spread throughout the park, including: - about 100 full rv hookups (both 30 and 50 amp) - 15 rustic cabins - 10 deluxe cabins, and, - 50 tent sites They have a: Pool and spa Game room with pool table, air hockey, and coin operated video games Outdoor ping pong table Gathering hall Laundry mat There are lots of beautiful mature oak trees and some pines throughout the park. The main roadways in the park are paved, with partially paved and gravel roads leading to many campsites. There are a few areas along the roadways in the park where the trees are quite low hanging and impacted the top and sides of our motor home much more than we would have liked. Wish we'd have mentioned that to the park manager at the front office. They need to do a better job of keeping those trimmed. There were also lots of thorny burs on the ground and it was impossible to walk our dog along the main roads without him picking up at least 15 -30 burs every time. Not sure how to fix that. The park staff we met were very helpful and accommodating. Nick in particular was very nice and gave us some pointers about the park and surrounding area. In addition to the amenities the park has to offer, there is plenty to do in Cloverdale, Healdsberg, and the surrounding areas. This is the Alexander Valley, one of the most renowned grape growing and wine making regions in the world. The KOA park makes for a great base camp to go out and enjoy all the area has to offer. A few of the great places we visited when we were here: - La Tequila Mexican Restaurant, Cloverdale - Wolf House Brewing, Cloverdale - J. Rickard Winery, Cloverdale ($20/person tasting fee waived with two bottle purchase) - Icaria Winery, Cloverdale ($20/person tasting fee) - Dot Winery tasting room, Healdsberg (check your KOA map/brochure for 2 for 1 tasting coupon - 2 can taste for $25, which is waived with a 3 bottle purchase) - Quail and Covenant Bakery, Healdsberg - Willi's Seafood and Raw Bar (definitely make a reservation for the patio in advance) We paid about $500 for 4 nights at the KOA over Labor Day weekend. Prices are cheaper on weekdays. Wish I could leave a 5-star review, but low hanging trees along roadways and burs in and around campsites preclude that outcome. Fix those and I'll revise my review. read more

We stayed here during Father's Day weekend, we'll stay again - because it's so close & convenient - however there are something's we will do differently. We love the views, the weather and how nearly everyone is traveling with kids/family. It made it easy for us having a toddler and being at a KOA for the first time. We booked for the catch and release pond, the pool and park/miniature golf.... That's where we get to 3/5 stars. I totally recommend this business removing any statement about a miniature golf course, this will manage everyone's expectations. It's a large property, lots of maintenance and understandably so the miniature golf course isn't a priority. Pool is chilly, it works, but definitely do not go in any spring months. The spa was great, and for us - we didn't care that it was full of kiddos, I can imagine other adults could be really bummed.... But also it was Father's Day weekend, so you have to expect it. Shade on the sites can be minimal, we'll bring a easy up next time. There's also minimal shade around the pool so you'll need a back up plan or to get there early. Overall, I feel like the price tag of the lodge is the same as a Hyatt. And this review is to share it's definitely not a Hyatt. read more

Oak trees are insect infested. Honeydew is their excrement-a syrupy substance that coats everything. Must dissolve in warm water that smears. So much, had to try clearing windows to see to leave. Washed at gas station but smeared. Will use tar remover when home. If you have reservations, ask to be up away from trees in full sun. Will have to use lots of tar remover for car. And trailer. Not sure how to clean fabric yet. Tracks in sticky leaves and soil into camper. Kid and dog friendly. Staff nice but minimal. Facilities adequate, nice layout, but run down. Hook ups for trailers & RVs very good. Sites close but management staggered bookings, so privacy maintained. Staff and campers behaved and friendly. Spacious campus for. Various activities accessed with bikes, scooters, cars and walking. read more

First I have to say we find ourselves at this location and reserved it over the phone just a few hours from arriving there. To our delight it was a beautiful camp ground the views are amazing and it is just a 25 minute drive south to Coppola Winery if you have time to take the tour over there. When we arrived there was a family member of the ownership checking us and he was not only a good conversation but gave us many ideas for around the area. He assigned us our camp site T2, however once we drove over to T2 we saw that other people were in our site. So we simply drove back up to the office/store and I explained it looked like a few families decided to just take a site that didn't belong to them so they could all be next to each other. I asked if he didn't mind we could just as easily take site T1. It was no issue so we set up camp. Clean bathrooms, fun pool area although the little road up to the bathrooms seemed steep in the middle of the night it was fine. The long and curvy road getting up to the KOA will take some time but the views along the way were really pretty. Campsite T1 had a lovely large tree for shade although there were lots of bug bags hanging from the trees bugs were not an issue when I was there. read more

Check in was nothing as described in the negative reviews. Not to say their experience isn't valid of course. I was so glad it wasn't the case for me as I was preparing myself for the worse. There was a lack of introduction to the campgrounds, but that's fine by me. Map was provided and I was good to go. Afterall, it's camping. Getting out there to explore was all on me. We were assigned lot 3 where a section is shared with lots 2 and 1. We lucked having the entire section to ourselves during our stay. Given it was rainy season, I wasn't surprised. Great view full of green with a sense of being further away in isolation. Wi-Fi is free for an hour. Anything more are tiered pricing. Some may find this an inconvenience, but an open Wi-Fi is not reliable. If you are one who works remotely without a personal router, this works. No cable TV, but had great cellular reception. I could not catch any local digital channels as well. The lack of cable didn't bother me. Few minutes before 11PM, I heard gun shots. I don't think it's within the campgrounds, but definitely one of the residents close by. 30 minutes later, same thing occurred again. It's out of their control, but I would not be surprised this being a huge concern for most. read more

Overall, I thought KOA Cloverdale was disappointing. The grounds were not kept up in places it should have been. There was weeds and tall grass around the picnic tables and walkways. The staff don't enforce any of the rules, including quiet hours from 10pm-8am. Or the dogs must be on a  leash at all times rule. Or be a good neighbor (meaning your music or whatever is happening at your site can't bother your neighbor). There was also a No smoking anywhere on the premises rule that was ignored by smokers and stoners alike. On my first night, my neighbors were up and loud until 12:45 am, and started up again at 6:15am. They were going in and out of their cars with raised voices and dogs barking. They were laughing and clapping their hands at their funny jokes. They were the only ones still awake in the whole place. The mosquito situation was out of control, between 4:30pm and 8:45pm I was miserable, just waving my arms around to keep mosquitos off me and my dog, or picking mosquitos off my dog's face and body as well as mine. In the morning, the loud neighbors were letting their dogs run all over, including in other people's camp sites. They did not have good recall, so they were yelling their names over and over with no results. I requested to be moved due to the neighbor situation and mosquitos. When I explained how late and how loud the neighbors were and the dogs running around the campground worker, said 'well the rules are posted. I don't know why people do that.' Which blew my mind, it is because the rules aren't being inforced. But they did accommodate my request and moved me to another site. The second site was a much better experience. I still ran into problems with dogs off leash, running around with no consequences, making going on walks a really lame experience. My dog was charged by several dogs loose at their campsite. Luckily, nothing happened, but it easily could have. Also, someone's dog ran into my campsite because these parents let their little kid walk their 70lb puppy who overpowered him and ran off. My neighbors were chain smoking cigarettes and playing loud music, though they turned off the music after about an hour. Just a general PSA- saying 'it's ok, my dog is friendly'- is not an excuse for your poor control of your pet. Some people are allergic or afraid or have a reactive dog, or maybe have a dog that isn't friendly. Keep your dog on a leash and out of someone else's campsite. My trip wasn't all bad, I still had a good time. The campsite maintenance guys were pleasant and helpful. The bathrooms were really clean. There was a ton of wildlife around like butterflies, deer, and quail. No trash anywhere, a cute little pond where people were fishing, lots of lodging options tent, car, RV, cabins. There's a pool and lots of families, if you have kids this probably an ok option. But this wasn't what I was looking for, and wasn't happy with how loose the rules were, so I won't be back. read more

It's been a rough 2020 with traveling and dining at new spots SO we decided to start up our camping game! We were hesitant to head here due to other reviews in other sources but we decided to give it a go since the area along is gorgeous. The drive is pretty easy, and yes the road leading up to the campsite isn't the easiest but in my opinion it's not an appropriate way to rate a camping location due to that. While it does take a good 15 to get to the site from the main road it's not a deal breaker ;) in fact the deeper you go in you see just how gorgeous the location is. Smack dab in the middle of wine Alexander valley. Grapevines, trees, clear skies, and gorgeousness. You cannot ask for better scenery. Most KOA's offer full hookups and this one is no different. There is no cable and the wifi is spotty, and you have to pay for it if you want it but it was only 10 bucks for the weekend. However, we have AT&T and had signal all weekend. We were able to steam our college football game, no problem. There are showers on site. They aren't the fanciest but they do have heat lamps and do the job just fine. Bring your water flip flops :) there is a pond on-site stocked with fish for fishing. If you have friends who don't have a trainer or don't want to tent-camp there are tons of cute little cabins on the property. We were able to visit a winery while here and all in all it was an amazing time! We will be back :) read more

Not sure where to start with this review. I was extremely unhappy with my visit here. I booked a cabin the same day as a friend and we both immediately called to make sure we'd be next to each other. While we were told that they can't guarantee it, we were told that it shouldn't be an issue. When we arrived we were in complete opposite areas and even though our neighbors weren't arriving until the next day, they wouldn't move us closer. It was infuriating and didn't make any sense. The bathrooms were also extremely dirty and honestly a trek to and from the cabins we were in. One more thing, the roads are very dusty and we found it weird that employees were BOOKING it when they would drive by in their carts. It kicked up so much dust. Will definitely not be going back. read more

Came to camp with my family we booked 3 sites so we could all be together. Upon arrival (not even 5 yet) the store was closed so it was after hours check in. The pee wee golf sign is still there but that entire section is like a disaster and seems like they don't want it anymore, the game room had a huge closed sign taped right on it, basically the only amenities to use was the pool and the fishing. Seems like the owner of this Koa does not care about their facility. Corporate needs to step in and make this place beautiful and more like Koa should be with the amenities and activities. I would not stay here again until this is fixed read more

1. Check In Email stated: PRICING GUIDELINES Rv30 Amp $67.50 plus tax for two people... Price was ~$99 as when reserved. Why this discrepancy? 2. No one in office upon arrival. Outside message indicated pick up check in info on right. Nothing found, Called listed phone number and left message. After 30 min. did a more thorough search and found info in landscaping. Call never returned. 3. Assigned site #6, in a row of 11 sites. Only one other family in the row during our two night stay. They were assigned site #5; right next to us. Why not space guests out when possible? Blessed with noise of teenage boys, TV, etc. read more

I was excited to visit the Cloverdale / Healdsburg KOA despite the negativity on Yelp and TripAdvisor and I was hoping to have a good experience and leave a good review since many people can be unreasonable. But here you go. Pro (singular): nice large campsite #4. Cons: *Pam was rude (check the other reviews, this is a common comment about Pam) on the phone when I verified my reservation. Also rude in person when I was trying to redeem points. Also rude/argumentative after I called and tried to explain her error and then she followed that up with a new error. She also argued that redeeming 25,000 points (for $50) is the same as redeeming 15,000 points ($25). *18 and up hot tub was full of children. (rules not enforced) *tents in RV sites even though the rules were no tents (rules not enforced) *many of the pool chairs and umbrellas were broken. *bathrooms are a far walk from most of the campsites. *no cable tv. First time seeing this at a KOA. *no free wifi. This KOA resort was very un-KOA like and did not seem to meet normal KOA standards. I was planning on leaving a 3 star review but finding the errors today and then talking to rude Pam dropped it down to a 1. Will not be back. read more

Yellowjackets. There was a ton of them out there. There were Yellowjacket traps hanging on some campsites and I overheard one of the kids in another campsite say they were all over the playground also. The people working there were super nice, the tent grounds weren't bad, some looked very uneven but we got nice flat spot. Each campsite that I saw had a fire pit and a grill, the fire pits were old steel wheels so they aren't very big read more

Hopefully this is the honest review you are looking for. This place was really a great place to stay. We were hesitant because of the yelp reviews and staying over the holiday weekend. However we were pleasantly surprised. Pamela was an absolute sweetheart. She always said hi to my 1 and 2 year old and made some great recommendations of the site. We check in, the campsite was what we expected, plenty of trees for shade, brush, and large enough space for our tent and our van. For a campsite, it was really clean. The pool was great! The people were super friendly and I saw no cleanliness concerns. Sure, the patio furniture was mix and match, but it's camping, not the Four Seasons. My kiddos are young and the pool starts at 3 ft to 8 ft. So if you have toddlers who can't swim, it may not be the best place to chill. Our toddlers hung out on the steps with two other kids. We didn't try the mini golf. However we did talk to a group of kids who were playing in the area and they were having a great time. They told us the clubs and balls were free from the general store. Super cool. We also didn't make it to the movie night. It doesn't get dark until 8:45pm. My kids are in bed by 8. But I heard it was a big hit. We saw the set up and said, "Next year..." Speaking of quiet, our neighbors were probably about the coolest people. Most of the campsites around us were regulars. It was quiet by 10pm. Which was great again, as parents to 2 under three years of age, sleep is like currency. We would pay more to make sure we get a least 5 hours of sleep. Which we did every night. The game room was a little dated. Some of the machines didn't work but hey, it's camping. Go outside. Bathrooms were maintained several times a day. I can't praise enough for having a clean bathroom when you're tent camping all day. Sanctuary! The pond was gorgeous. We took several walks around the pond and saw a bunch of people catching fish and releasing them back. No lie, I saw a kid catch a fish using some fishing line and a stick with a worm. Granted when he pulled it out, he started yelling "help!", even he was surprised. It was beautiful. Even had a water feature in the middle of the pond. The general store is a really cute place. You can snag missed items. But it's not a big place. About 23 miles away is a Safeway. Pick up big missed items there. The store is great for grabbing ice cream or random small essentials. Oh! And this kind of amazed me. One of the gentleman who works at the campsite, wish we got his name, we saw him ferrying ice on his golf cart. They are so nice they even bring emergency ice over if you need it. I go camping several times a year since I was a kid and I have never seen that. That was so sweet. We also went down the nature walk trail. It was very nice. Just a lot of trees. We got pretty far and had to turn back. At some point it's no longer stroller friendly. Worth checking out. We went tent camping and the cabins were so adorable! I can't say much as I didn't go into one. Overall, this place was a winner! We will be back. See you all next time! read more

We stay here a few times a year and usually come with family and children. We love the stock fishing pond, free sno cones, and beautiful views. We stayed for this 4th of July weekend when it was 100+ degrees each day. We had both a tent and RV site. Areas of improvement: cleanliness; the pool was pretty grimy with lots of bugs and you could tell it hadn't been cleaned in at least a week and the bathrooms were lacking toilet paper and soap for the most part. Amenities: the playground is old and past due for an update, the arcade games were all unplugged and/or broken, the gathering hall is locked and unfortunately, was not somewhere we had access to over the hot weekend- although when I called to check, I was told we could find respite from the heat here if needed. Office staff is friendly and booking is easy. We will continue to return due to the fishing and views but will also be considering other KOAs more often (such as Petaluma) for their cleanliness and more family friendly, updated amenities. read more

Honestly not sure it even deserves a on star but I'll give it one since I did enjoy the time with my son. Like previous posters said the bathrooms are filthy, there was no toilet paper in any stall in the mornings, the sites (specifically tent sites) are pretty small, but my biggest gripe is the complete disregard for enforcing quiet time. I in no way expect it to be silent or want to rain on anyone's good time but when it continues on until 3am I've reached my max patience. It was one group that had loud music, screeching laughter and then started karaoke at 2 am. Considering they sent me the rules 3x via email and then they were also printed on my welcome document I would expect they enforce them. I understand they can't control who books but they could have come over even once in the 5 hours after quiet hours it continued. We will stick to other local campsites and would not recommend this place. read more

It has been awhile since we've been here. I reserved the group site online then heard there were two. So I called to inquire about the sites, no one answered the first time so I tried again. Within 3 weeks I called 10 times and emailed twice with NO response or answering the phone. Our spot ended up being ok due to the heat. The bathrooms were nasty, my friend had to ask to have them cleaned. The pool got pretty dirty but there was a lot of people. No more mini golf as they let that whole area go. So sad!! When I was there last they still could have made it work. This place has so much potential but, it's very dated and needs updates and better communication. read more

My family of 4 (4.5yo & 14mo) stayed in a 2-room cabin over the 4th of July weekend with 4 other families despite the terrifying reviews online. We didn't experience any of those horrors, but we also weren't expecting the Ritz. The staff were friendly and helpful and doing their best despite some of the campers. Upon checkin, Pamela saw that we had a baby so made sure we got an extra shady site close to the bathroom (Red Fox). Some sites are a trek to the bathroom. The bathrooms were cleaned daily and there was always soap and toilet paper. They should probably put up signs reminding people of what's acceptable to flush because toilets would get clogged after the morning rush, but the staff always addressed those issues immediately. I really appreciated the staff who were all doing their best. Someone broke glass by the pool and one staff member stayed up all night cleaning out the pool so that we could use it the next day. The pool was busy but clean and totally usable. We got free snow cones at 2pm every day and the kids really enjoyed running around between our camp sites. Honestly, I was expecting the worst and experienced none of it. It's camping, it's not supposed to be fancy! read more

This KOA could be a beautiful area with some good management. Unfortunately that's not the case. If you read any reviews with a higher than 3 stars might be that those lucky campers actually got ahold of the owner that runs the KOA. This is the only KOA I've ever run across that you can hardly ever get ahold of anyone without calling multiple times. Sometimes days! Weeks! You're always asked for your info and told you will be called back within 30 minutes. Don't hold your breath. It will never happen! The old Post It system is used at this KOA and unfortunately the Post Its get lost... a lot! Now if you get a spot, luck comes into play once again. There are some great spots. If you're lucky enough to get one of those. Most of the spots are uneven and not kept up very well. The staff that is suppose to keep them up are driving around (sometimes with a beer in their hand) acting like they are actually doing something. They speed around with no regard to children playing or even caring that dust is being created because of their speed. RUDE! Don't ask them a question they act like it's a total inconvenience. If you do get into a conversation with some they talk horrible about the owner. Camping sites are dirty, weeds over grown, trash in the fire pits. The miniature golf course is a complete shambles. A total hazard for anyone even walking through let alone letting their children play in that area. The store is great! But alas Lady Luck must be in your corner again. It's rarely open. If you're quick and get there in the morning grab everything you might need because it pretty much won't be opened again. Spoiler alert...there's so much advertised on their KOA flyer could be a great scavenger hunt! After checking your map, if you're looking for the advertised Cafe, Deck, Gathering Place and Game-room I'll save you the time and tell you none exists. So after being lucky enough to talk to someone about getting a camping spot, getting a site, maybe even getting to go to the store when it's unexpectedly open, just hope and pray you don't have a problem that needs staff or management attention because it's impossible to get ahold of anyone...EVER! Shame on KOA Corporate for allowing this campground to become so run down and under such bad and rude management. For those of you that might still be determined to camp there... may Lady Luck be with you read more

Worst place to spend your money! No one EVER answers the phone, returns messages. CALLED 15 different times of day from Tue-Fri, left 3 messages no call backs. HORRIBLE customer service! One of the worst run KOA'S I have ever seen. The place is run down, dirty and falling apart. Time for a new owner to take over OR get a management team in there who gives a crap about campers. Clearly the staff and owner do not! STAY ANYWHERE BUT KOA Cloverdale!! THEY SUCK! read more

This was a good camping experience. I was surprised to see how many negative reviews there are for this KOA, but I think your experience might depend a lot on how busy the place is. I tent camped there by myself for a couple nights in November and had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly, and the place was pretty much abandoned. For example I had the hot tub completely to myself on a Saturday night (and I will add that the hot tub was very clean and well maintained). In general, the staff is clearly doing a good job keeping this KOA maintained, but the facilities are getting old and run down. I understand other review complaints about the bathrooms - they are not as nice and modern as I've seen at other KOAs. Also all the bathrooms I saw were communal - it's nice to have private bathrooms of course biut hartdly a dealbreaker. This campground is fairly dusty - if you stay here during the rainy season I would expect it to get muddy. My tent site came with an electric outlet and it's own spigot, which was a nice convenience. On the other hand, it was a bit of a walk to the bathrooms. I probably won't do much summertime camping here, but I am definitely looking forward to staying at this KOA again in the off season. Also, the cute little town of Cloverdale is a short drive away and definitely a fun place to spend an afternoon. read more

Two stars because my kids had fun in the pool. That's about it. Run down. Dirty sites, broken glass, cigarette butts, bottle caps... My kids had fun putting those things in their mouths. No one answers the phone. Owner is a complete agro bi@tch. I'm not sure I understand the tent sites in the "Valley" surrounded by RV'S And TT. The tent campers were very confused on how to get down there and what area was theirs, it was such a strange setup. The fishing dock was tattetered, the wood was in need of repair. People feeding the ducks bread/Graham crackers by the boatloads, seriously?? At least have signs to not feed the ducks or have a coin operated "gumball" machine filled with bird food to deter feeding them toxic, nutritionless garbage. Speaking of the pond... Those fish are so overfished, that they are floating around dead. It's really sad. I just don't understand this place or how it's run or taken care of. read more

I have camped here two times. Once in a two room cabin and once in a single room cabin. The two room cabin had an amazing view. The single room cabin had a nice view of the pond. I was not fond of the wheel rim as a fire pit in front of the single room cabin. But it did good. The two room cabin had a much better and proper fire pit. The employees have been very nice and helpful. I believe one time the owner checked me in and even tho I have read bad reviews about the owner I had no problems. The single room and two room cabins don't have a tv. Which is fine I bring a portable dvd player or stream on my tablet. The campground does provide Wi-Fi but it cost money. I don't remember how much it was as I found my tablet and phone which both are Verizon had faster speeds then the Wi-Fi did. I have seen the staff show campers where their campsite is after dark which is very nice especially for the RV/5th wheel. This Koa is pretty darn quiet especially at night time. I wish you could pick the specific campsite. I have done this at two other Koa. I'm willing to pay the additional fee even tho I personally think the fee is too much. As I like to camp in different campsites. Then if I find a good one then I like to pay to get that particular site again. I like how the showers are private. Figuring out which light to turn on for the particular shower you are in can be tricky. I just turn on a light and pick the particular shower. The mats you stand on are very uncomfortable. I forgot to bring my water shoes so I had to stand on this hard plastic green mat. I have read reviews about the general store being open random times. I didn't find an issue with this as last time I stayed here I was able to purchase firewood and ice with no issue. As I stayed during the hottest weekend on the year I had to get ice more than one time. read more

This mud hole is the nastiest, most unattended campground to which I have been! And you get to weave your way through low-hanging foliage to scratch up your RV in order to enjoy this swamp! And no cable! NEVER AGAIN! read more

I can't believe there are so many bad reviews here (I really think some people forget they are camping). We had nothing but a positive experience. We stayed here for 3 nights over the Labor Day Weekend (which was 112 degrees each day) in our Travel Trailer with our 3 kids. Firstly, we had a lovely welcome from the lady in the office. She saw we had kids and explained all the extra activities (that are free) like the movie nights and shaved ice in the afternoons. The pool was great. So good to have when it was 112 degrees. Yes, there were 70 people in there and the water became murky towards the end of the day (Crystal Clear the next day), but given the heat, everyone was respectful, friendly and was having a great time. Our site was level and clean. Considering the heat and all the air conditioners running, we had no issue with the power. The only challenge we had was the distance to the sewer hookup. Fortunately our hose reached but the helpful campground staff were will to lend us an extension had it not reached. The campground is situated in a beautiful, quiet area away from main roads and business. An extremely relaxing location. It is close enough to civilization if you need to go to Safeway (about 20 min away) or the amazing Ice Cream Store in Cloverdale. There are so many wineries close by. Dry Creek, Russian River, Alexander Valley are all accessible. Yes the mini golf has seen better days, but our kids (Aged 6 & 8), couldn't careless and spent many hours playing and having a great time (Did I mention it is free?) Our kids also enjoyed riding their scooters around, although I'd recommend bikes over scooters! WiFi worked and was fast enough for email and Facebook. Although AT&T phone reception was great and ended up using it. read more

Needed a quick stop over for the night and decided on the Cloverdale KOA. Made our reservation via the KOA app and requested a pull thru site with 50 amp service to accommodate a 35 foot fifth wheel with 3 slide outs. Our reservation was approved. After the traveling up the long, potholed and narrow roadway we arrived at our destination at approximately 5:30 p.m. The office was closed and the map to our site was taped to the front door. The Cloverdale KOA assigned us to site 46. The site was very narrow, overgrown with weeds, bushes, and trees. A large fallen tree was at the rear of the campsite which made pulling a 35 foot fifth wheel difficult. The site amenities included a broken picnic table, a wheel drum for a fire barrel, and all the mud, weeds, and overgrown trees and bushes. After maneuvering the fifth wheel into the site the set up began. The 50 amp service did not work and had to reduce to 30 amp, there was no cover over the sewer drain (which I believe is a violation of California Health & Safety code) and the water was brown. The main slide out could not be opened fully as it would impede any traffic wanting to travel down the road and the door exiting the trailer was right on the roadway. The cost for all these amenities $67.50 a night. If you are needing a place to stay and want all these fabulous amenities the Cloverdale KOA is the perfect place for you. read more

I don't like reading the negative reviews about Pam. She was nothing but sweet to us. In person and every single time I called. Maybe it's because of the negative reviews but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it was sincere. In fact, we thought all the staff were very friendly. Tips: Don't pay for the wifi. I mean, if you have to, then do it... but I paid for it and only received error messages all weekend. I ended up just using data because it was faster and didn't make me lose my patience. Don't forget anything because that store is very overpriced. If you have pop-up shade, bring it. The pool has limited shaded areas and is mostly BYOS (bring your own shade). If you're not good at roughing it (I am not), some of the pricier lodges have a wall AC unit and a bathroom with a shower and tub. And ceiling fans. Bring your own coffee. They offered free shaved ice the weekend we were there. It hit the spot! (Even though it's free, it's nice to tip). They offered a cooling off area with cots for kids to escape the heat. The property is nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay. read more

We had a lovely stay everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed the great atmosphere the only thing I will say is that it is a very family-welcoming environment so good for people with kids but not really a place to get away with your significant other my partner and I could barely move in the pool because it was flooded with children and tipsy parents read more

Was't sure about coming to this place because of bad reviews.. however I'm glad we did. It's a beautiful area. We got in late (after hours) and had staff there ready to help us get into a spot. We have a 40 ft RV. Staff were friendly. Sites are pretty level.. gravel sites, paved roads. Did not check out the facilities (reason for 4 star). There is a pond and a pool which we didn't check out. This is a rustic, nature camping experience.. not a plush parking lot with manicured lawns.! It is an 8 mile drive off of 101.. takes about 15 min. Up on top of a hillside with views. Would have enjoyed staying there longer. read more

We had to try three different sites until we found one with acceptable sideways slant (and front in rather than the back in we need). The staff was not only unconcerned about our problem but rather snippy. They charge close to $100 a night, yet WiFi is extra at $6. What a rip off! Be aware that the RV Park is quite far off 101 on narrow, winding roads. read more

We had reserved 2 sites side by side , when we arrived one was taken. We were treated as if it was not a big deal, they did Comp a tent site by our site so it wrk out but then try to make us pay for it at check out ? Also the staff were very rude and made racial comment to our guest, then the showers were filthy and had no soap several times to wash our hand, the arcade was very disappointing and then a guest broke a latch on the hot tub gate and a camper fixed it so we could all enjoy it , lack of respect for the camp ground and the guest was very obvious the just lost heart it takes to run what use to be a beautiful camp ground. I could go on and on. I gave it a one star only because of the potential it could have. Debbie read more

We had a great camping trip staying in a cabin near the pond. My boys enjoyed riding their bikes, swimming and fishing in the pond! Cabin was clean and cozy. There were outlets, ceiling fans and even space heaters to use if needed. We haven't been to this KOA in years, but we will definitely be back! Free snow cones, great service, view and a movie on the big screen were an added perk! Boys fell asleep on the trip home from all the fun they had. read more
