Benbow KOA Holiday

RV Park

Overview

Welcome to our Benbow KOA Holiday, gateway to the majestic redwoods, home of big foot lore and legend, land of endless natural beauty and your passport to a vibrant, vacation destination.

Mountain views and some of the tallest redwood trees in the world will WOW visitors to the Lost Coast of Northern California - and so will the amenities at this KOA, located on the East Branch, South Fork Eel River. Settle into an En-Suite Cabin, a Full Hookup RV Site (max pull-thru sites: 55 feet) or a seasonal Tent Site and savor the beauty of Benbow Valley. Families enjoy the seasonal swimming pool and hot tub. Kids love the playground and sports court.

Campers can enjoy fishing and playing in the Eel River, a designated National Wild and Scenic River.

The Benbow Golf Course is now open. ($)  Golfing is currently on a first-come, first-serve basis. Come to the KOA Office for ground fees and golf cart rentals.

Nice place to pull in and rest. We’re headed to glass beach. Nice park with a pull through long enough for our RV and Toad.

Lovely spot. People there were very friendly and helpful. Just very surprised by how gross the bathrooms were. At least the woman's bathroom in the main building. Toilets had black mold. Showers were just gross. Handicapped shower did not even have a hook for the hand held shower. The stall itself was stained and dirty beyond any cleaner's ability to fix. I travel fulltime, and in 3 years this bathroom is in the bottom 5. So surprising for a KOA that I have come to depend on for constantly clean facilities.

The cabins are much nicer than I expected. Fully furnished. The cabin says it sleeps 5-6, which 5 can work if you share a bed. There was a pull out bed in the sofa, but 6 persons is impossible unless someone's sleeping on the ground. Although there were empty cabins, they wouldn't let us rent another one... There was a tournament this weekend so maybe they assumed they'd be busier? WiFi isn't great, even though they have a mesh network and most cabins have an access point. Looks like they are trying but honestly not even worth trying to connect. Great swimming hole near the cabins! Either way, I'd definitely stay here again!

Very nice KOA. Tons of cap sites and cabins. Right on the Eel river and very close to multiple state parks. There is a nice little arcade, shop and pool on site (closed off season). Bathrooms are very clean and well maintained, unfortunately no hot water in the off season. Camp sites have full hook ups, fire pits and tables. Good place to stay when in the area.

We were lucky we were there in the November / December season so lots of room for us. We loved the spacious grounds, close proximity to Redwoods and the cute town of Garberville. We ate at the Historic Inn and loved the Christmas decor and beauty of the hotel.
