My wife and I are first year seasonal guests, and we absolutely love it here. Susan was very accommodating and allowed us to switch sites before the season even started. She put us in the perfect spot, very spacious! Everyone here, managers, maintenance, housekeeping etc. are friendly and do a great job maintaining the property. I have yet to come across anyone guests or employees who aren't kind and respectful. We can't wait to be seasonal members for many years to come!

Honestly, this didn't feel like camping at all. You are literally so close to people. You can hear them breathing at nighttime. They have the campsites right on top of one another. In my eyes, it is way too expensive when you can camp. For free, right down on the road with much more privacy. Somebody is driving around every 15 minutes watching you very uncomfortable. Not relaxing type of camping feeling that most people were used to. I definitely want to pay the money to go here again.

We just spent a week at this campground and to say that I was impressed is an understatement. Susan the manager checked us in when we arrived and this woman was born to be in customer service. She was kind, friendly, welcoming, and had an outstanding personality. I was genuinely impressed and delighted with the experience. During the week the staff was absolutely meticulous when it came to keeping the park in tip top shape. From the landscaping to the trash pickup as well as maintaining the facility these guys were top notch. I highly recommend this campground if you’re interested in the Chautauqua lake area of NY.

This was a great place to stay. It was easy to access off of I-86 which runs off of I-90. The campgrounds were well groomed, clean, and the store was well stocked. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially after we lost our awning to our brand new 5th wheeler in a storm! We will stay here more often after our awning is replaced.

Nice campground plenty of amenities. Sites are spacious in the woods. Like all NY campgrounds, state or private, if you tent it's a challenge with course gravel and grass. Getting those stakes in is a job. We'll come back hopefully with no tent. And tent campers L22 is not a good site. If it rains a river runs through it. Keep your tent close to the power pole.

The new ownership has been a breath of fresh air for this campground!!!! As a seasonal camper everyone has complimented about how much the atmosphere has changed for the better and the great job the staff have done with the transition. The weekend activities for the kids and the bands was a much needed improvement. Ignore the older truthful reviews about this Chautauqua KOA and come relax and enjoy the New Chautauqua Lake KOA!!!

We are one of the original campers who have been there since the campground opened 20 years ago. This was the best season we have ever spent there due to New Management with new innovative ideas. Going forward we hope to continue for another 20 years. The staff is to be commended for its friendliness and helpfulness. Everyone who visited us during this season commented on all the wonderful changes that have been made around the campground, including the welcoming attitude of the office staff. We are proud to say that we are seasonal campers at Chautauqua Lake Koa!
