The campground was easy enough to find and checkin was a breeze. We went with another couple and we got 2 adjacent tent sites in the Seneca Circle of the campground. I mush not have paid attention to the directions given to us cuz we promptly got lost trying to find our sites. Luckily a gentleman on a golf cart... More

I have no clue how this campground got good reviews. This was our first experience at a chain owned campground what a disappointment. The playgrounds were filthy with garbage people left behind never cleaned up during our stay we were there 4 days. The pool was small and indoors with no outside area but a concrete pad. The speed limit... More

I didnt expect much from the KOA and got exactly that. Not terrible and not outstanding. We had a kabin that was as remote as you could get in the campground for some extra privacy, fully knowing that you do not go to a campgrounds for privacy. The grounds seemed to have plenty to do for kids. Fishing, big bouncing... More

This was our first time visiting this KOA. We reserved the upgraded site in the new Sunset Acres section of the park. These sites had a huge concrete patio, lamp post with fresh flowers, & a double chair glider. The site also had a nice concrete fire ring area too. The park was clean and had several activities planned for... More

You will find the friendly staff inside the well stocked Camping Store, quite knowledgeable and helpful. The indoor hot tub and pool with a semi-private outdoor lounging area were very enjoyable. There was even a nice work out room available overlooking the pool area. The 1 room Cabin we stayed in was clean and comfortable. It included free cable TV... More

The Watkins glen koa is a great place to camp. They have great campsites, great amenities like fishing, indoor pool, jumping pillow, laser tag, outdoor movies for the kiddos, and putt putt golf. We tent camped there for two nights and had an excellent stay with lots of down time. Our kids enjoyed exploring the woods too. There is plenty... More

We attend the wine festival in the area every year and we have stayed at this KOA each year. The staff are friendly and the cabins are clean. Some of the sites are quite close together but I believe that going camping it is a great way to meet interesting people. The pool and hot tub are a nice perk... More

DH and I stayed here for one night as a travel stop and were pleasantly surprised. I think we had one of the nicer RV sites, and it looked like it had been recently 'remodeled' with a new patio, chair swing and flowers. They allowed us to check in a little ahead of schedule, and the surroundings were quiet and... More
