Watkins Glen/Corning KOA Camping Resort

I didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it. PROS: things to do with the kids. Relaxed atmosphere. Kid friendly. Great internet service!! CONS: Sites are TIGHT and no shade. Dog park is not fenced in. Our site was not level and semi dangerous. Part of the ground was missing off of the patio making it easy to lose your footing which was right by the campfire. Several near misses tripping.

Tent camped here for 4 nights. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our kids enjoyed the water slide and climbing wall. Less than ten minutes to Watkins Glenn and Seneca Lake, less than 30 minutes to Ithaca, Elmira, Corning, multiple wineries, great spot!

The staff here was all amazing from the moment we checked in. We stayed 5 days in k10 cabin and were pretty close to friends who we were meeting us there. Kids all loved the pools, rock wall, slide parks etc. The ONLY downfall is the spaces are incredibly small. They really pack in the campers/tents/cabins. The park is large and allows the teen kids to run free and explore. We enjoyed the nature trail and stream right off one of the back sites and the proximity to downtown watkins glen, and lots of other hiking trails

This place seemed promising as we were excited to camp here but turns out the place is ran like an absolute joke. Golf cart pick up and check out is at noon and after walking up to the office to pick it up they were having a “staff meeting” conveniently, we had to wait an extra two hours to check it out. Not even ten minutes after checking it out we drove to our campsite and over to the food truck, my wife had forgotten her purse so my 16 year old daughter drove 4 sites down to grab it, the girl behind the food truck came out screaming at my child she’s not 18 to drive to the golf cart on the grounds waiving security over and they came over and asked my wife how long have we had the cart? my wife literally 5 minutes, he said well if you read the rules you would know you have to be 18 years old. I understand parks and places have rules but instead of having a long list of pages that 9/10 people don’t read maybe re iterate it at the time of signing, regardless though the golf cart was snatched from us after 10 minutes of use no simple warning and was told no refunds and the “peachy little manager Lavender” said it’s due to insurance purposes as they have new insurance, she said she didn’t want to hear it as the matter was closed, Mind you that we had just spent 200 dollars on the 4 day rental of the gold cart, the manager then tells me if we would like we can rent another golf cart if we wanted to pay, So let me get this straight if it’s about insurance policy as we “broke” the rules and a “liability” to the “insurance” why were we allowed the rent another golf cart and spend another 180 dollars. Seems to me it’s not about the policy as it is taking our money. The place is a scam, we spoken to other workers there as well and told they have a high turnover rate with employees at this camp ground as the management there is awful to work for. The poor campers next to us were charged $100 clean up fee for their little kids throwing a few water balloons on a 95 degree hot today. Shame on this place, I myself own a business in the area and i would never treat my customers in the manner this was handled. Could have been avoided with a simple warning, I hope others see this and second guess about coming here.

This was our third time staying here this year. Our most recent stay was last weekend. Each stay was exceptional and the staff members were very friendly and helpful. (We are new camper owners) The office staff has been very accommodating and go out of their way to help us. The amenities are amazing and there is a lot for the kids to do. The restrooms were spotless everytime we stayed. We also ordered lunch from the food truck and it was great. The person who prepared our order, I believe her name is Kena, did a great job! We are planning another stay for next month! Thank you for an amazing stay!
